Introduction: This study investigated the effect of different auditory stimuli and cognitive tasks on balance in healthy young adults.
Methods: Thirty-three participants, aged 23.33 ± 2.
Article Synopsis
- Rotator cuff tendonitis (RCT) is a widespread shoulder issue that leads to pain and limited movement, with no clear treatment guidelines available.
- A study compared the effects of Kinesio taping (KT) and cold therapy (CT) on pain relief and functionality in individuals with RCT, involving 52 participants randomly assigned to either treatment group.
- Results showed that KT significantly improved pain, range of motion, and grip strength more effectively than CT, suggesting that KT could be a better option when combined with exercise for short-term rehabilitation of RCT.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of core stabilization training on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions, and postural control in children with hearing loss.
Design: We conducted a randomized controlled trial at Bezmialem Vakif University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Division of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Thirty children with hearing loss who were diagnosed with prelingual sensorineural hearing loss were randomly allocated to the study (n = 15, 12.
Background: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) may impair respiratory dynamics and affect the performance of inspiratory and expiratory muscles. The benefit of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is not well investigated in AIS. We aimed to investigate the effects of IMT on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory function and functional capacity in adolescents with mild to moderate AIS.

Background: Neuromuscular diseases are acquired or inherited diseases that affect the function of the muscles in our body, including respiratory muscles.
Objective: We aimed to discover more cost-effective and practical tools to predict respiratory function status, which causes serious problems with patients with neuromuscular disease.
Methods: The Vignos and Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Scales were used to evaluate functional status for patient recruitment.
