Effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization/Vojta Therapy on Pain Intensity and Physical Function in Individuals with Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent health issue that imposes heavy burdens on personal health status and social healthcare. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)/Vojta therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in managing conditions related to musculoskeletal system. However, its effects on individuals with LBP remain incompletely understood.

Effects of attentional focus strategies in drop landing biomechanics of individuals with unilateral functional ankle instability.

Background: Functional Ankle Instability (FAI) is a pervasive condition that can emerge following inadequate management of lateral ankle sprains. It is hallmarked by chronic joint instability and a subsequent deterioration in physical performance. The modulation of motor patterns through attentional focus is a well-established concept in the realm of motor learning and performance optimization.

"Track style" children's fundamental movement skills test: construction and verification of an efficient evaluation system.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop an efficient tool for assessing children's fundamental motor skills, the "Track style" Children's Fundamental Movement Skills Test (TCFMST), based on theories of motor development integrated with Chinese cultural context and physical education teaching situations.

Methods: Starting from a literature analysis, the study selected items from existing fundamental movement skill (FMS) assessments, textbooks, physical education and health standards, and children's movement guidelines to construct a pool of test items. Subsequently, the items were screened and optimized using the Delphi method.

Effects of mental fatigue on biomechanical characteristics of lower extremities in patients with functional ankle instability during unanticipated side-step cutting.

Functional ankle instability (FAI) is the primary classification of ankle injuries. Competitive activities have complicated movements that can result in ankle re-injury among patients with FAI. Unanticipated movement state (MS) and mental fatigue (MF) could also happen in these activities, which may further increase their joint injury risk.

Effects of music therapy intervention on gait disorders in persons with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review of clinical trials.

Background: Music Therapy (MT) is a unique treatment method for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) that can accelerate their functional recovery. MT has been proven to adjust the gait performance of PwMS in a short period. Its therapeutic effects in gait disorders of PwMS for long-term intervention are also starting to draw interest, but it has yet to be investigated.

Effects of Otago Exercise Program on postural control ability in elders living in the nursing home: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Losing postural control ability and related injuries are of particular concern for elders living in the nursing home (NH). The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is a multimodal exercise training program initially designed as an individually tailored home exercise for community-dwelling elders, but whether its movement characteristics and exercise intensity meet NH elders' needs still needs to be clarified. This study aimed to determine the effects of the OEP in enhancing postural control ability among elders in the NH.

Effects of visual deprivation on the injury of lower extremities among functional ankle instability patients during drop landing: A kinetics perspective.

The ankle is prone to injury during drop landing with usual residual symptoms, and functional ankle instability (FAI) is the most common. Vision guarantees the postural stability of patients with FAI, and visual deprivation (VD) increases their risk of injury when completing various movements. This study explored injury risk during drop landing in patients with FAI under VD through the kinetics of lower extremities.

Study on Identification Method of Pulmonary Nodules: Improved Random Walk Pulmonary Parenchyma Segmentation and Fusion Multi-Feature VGG16 Nodule Classification.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to realize automatic segmentation of lung parenchyma based on random walk algorithm to ensure the accuracy of lung parenchyma segmentation. The explicable features of pulmonary nodules were added into VGG16 neural network to improve the classification accuracy of pulmonary nodules.

Materials And Methods: LIDC-IDRI, a public dataset containing lung Computed Tomography images/pulmonary nodules, was used as experimental data.
