Effects of a plank-based strength training programme on muscle activation in patients with long COVID: a case series.

Background: This study aimed to analyse the effects of a plank-based strength training programme on muscle activation in patients with long COVID.

Subjects And Methods: Case series study that included patients with long COVID who participated in a 12-week trunk and pelvic muscle strength training programme. Clinical variables and the modified fatigue impact scale (MFIS) were used to assess fatigue levels.

Kinematic Gait Analysis in People with Mild-Disability Multiple Sclerosis Using Statistical Parametric Mapping: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. Gait abnormalities, such as altered joint kinematics, are common in people with MS (pwMS). Traditional clinical gait assessments may not detect subtle kinematic alterations, but advances in motion capture technology and analysis methods, such as statistical parametric mapping (SPM), offer more detailed assessments.

Influence of Age, Gender and Education Level on Executive Functions and Functioning in People with Stroke.

Background: Alterations in mental functions are among the most frequent manifestations of stroke that have a direct impact on the patient's functionality. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of sociodemographic variables with the executive functions (EFs) of participants with right middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational case-control study was conducted at the State Center for Brain Damage in Madrid, Spain.

Use of recognition of laterality through implicit motor imagery for the improvement of postural control and balance in subacute stroke patients: a randomized controlled study.

Introduction: Motor Imagery techniques may be used as a complement to the recovery of motor sequelae after a stroke, as during the evocation of a movement the activation of neuronal circuits involved in the actual execution of the movement occurs.

Patients And Methods: A simple-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 38 patients were randomly assigned to a study group.

The Timing of Kinematic and Kinetic Parameters during Gait Cycle as a Marker of Early Gait Deterioration in Multiple Sclerosis Subjects with Mild Disability.

This study aimed to evaluate walking in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with mild disability. A case control study with 8 mild disability MS patients and 10 controls was conducted. This study analyzed spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters.
