The Relationship between Components of Postural Control and Locomotive Syndrome in Older Adults.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Locomotive Syndrome (LS) is a condition that affects the mobility of older adults and is linked to various components of balance control.
- A study involving 122 elderly participants assessed their balance using the Brief-BESTest and found significant relationships between LS and three balance components: Biomechanical Constraints, Stability Limits, and Anticipatory Postural Adjustments.
- The results imply that improving these specific balance areas through targeted interventions may help reduce the risk of LS and enhance the quality of life for older adults.
Prevalence and Associated Factors of Musculoskeletal Disorders among Older Patients Treated at Walailak University Physical Therapy Clinic in Thailand: A Retrospective Study.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
September 2024
The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is high among older adults worldwide, significantly affecting their quality of life and overall health. Understanding the prevalence of MSDs and their associated factors is crucial to developing effective preventive and management strategies in Thailand. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of MSDs and their associated factors among older patients at Walailak University Physical Therapy Clinic.

- * Conducted between April 2012 and March 2013, the research involved 133 national-level badminton players, calculating injury rates per 1,000 exposures and examining various factors like severity and type.
- * Results showed significant injury rates in specific areas: female university students had high incidents in the racket-side shoulder, high school girls in the racket-side thigh, and males across all school ages and junior high girls in the lumbar spine/lower back, indicating a need for targeted prevention strategies.
Background: Injury prevention programs have recently been created for various sports. However, a longitudinal study on badminton injuries, as assessed by a team's dedicated medical staff, at the gymnasium has not been performed.
Objectives: We aimed to perform the first such study to measure the injury incidence, severity and type as the first step in creating a badminton injury prevention program.
In most mammals, the optic nerve fibers are myelinated in its extraocular part (EON) but not in its intraocular part (ION) and also in the retina. Transitional zone from the myelinated to unmyelinated optic nerve usually lies in the central part to the lamina cribrosa. It has been known that dogs contain exceptionally myelinated fibers in ION by light microscopy.
