Article Synopsis
- Poor posture in young adults can lead to neck and back pain, which significantly contributes to global disability.
- A study of 40 female university students tested the effects of physical function improvement training, posture learning, a combination of both, and a control group over four weeks.
- The combined training was the only approach that effectively improved posture, but the benefits diminished within a week after the intervention ended.
Article Synopsis
- Tissue flossing may enhance range of motion (ROM) and reduce pain, but evidence supporting its effectiveness is still limited.
- A study compared tissue flossing with dynamic stretching (DS) on 17 young male participants, measuring various aspects of hamstring muscle function and flexibility after each intervention.
- Results showed that tissue flossing led to significantly greater improvements in ROM and muscle contraction compared to both control and dynamic stretching interventions.
Background: Curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO) was developed to treat acetabular dysplasia. Given that CPO can improve physical function in the early post-operative period, patients might be able to participate in sports activities post-operatively. Therefore, this study examined the post-operative sports activity participation and characteristics of acetabular dysplasia patients who have undergone CPO.
