  • Abnormal upper body posture can impact exercise therapy effectiveness for musculoskeletal diseases, particularly in patients with rotator cuff issues.
  • A study with 90 male patients who had rotator cuff repair explored the outcomes of three different exercise groups: a corrective exercise group, a rotator cuff exercise group, and a control group, measuring shoulder function and muscle strength over time.
  • Results showed that the corrective exercise program significantly improved shoulder function and muscle strength compared to traditional rotator cuff exercises, especially in patients with forward shoulder posture.

This study aimed to assess the effect of a combined exercise program on lower-extremity alignment and knee pain in patients with genu varum. Forty-seven middle-aged women with knee pain and genu varum were randomly divided into the exercise (EG, n = 24) and control (CG, n = 23) groups. The exercise group underwent a combined exercise program lasting 60 min in one session, three times a week for 12 weeks.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of community-based walking training (CWT) on the walking ability and fall-related self-efficacy of chronic stroke patients and compare the effects of CWT to the conventional walking programs in stroke patients. Previous studies focused on walking speed, walking endurance, and balance. However, no studies have examined the changes in fall-related self-efficacy after CWT.

Article Synopsis
  • Menopause leads to declines in bone density, fitness, strength, and balance, prompting the need for effective exercise interventions.
  • A study with 20 postmenopausal women explored the impact of a new sports tennis type exercise over 12 weeks on aerobic capacity and hormone levels.
  • Results showed significant improvements in aerobic capacity and increases in levels of FSH and NTX, suggesting that this exercise can help prevent bone loss and boost fitness for postmenopausal women.
