Purpose/aim: The ability to perform routine tasks during reaching and activities of daily living (ADLs) is impaired as a result of deterioration in the postural adjustments after stroke. Trunk stability is needed to maintain balance, correct scapular position and posture while moving the upper extremity. The objective was to examine the effect of scapular exercises on the scapular stability, trunk control and ADLs.

- Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1, or herpes B virus, is a virus found in macaque monkeys that can infect humans and cause serious illness with high mortality risks.
- A unique case of this virus reactivating after 54 years resulted in severe meningoencephalitis, highlighting the need for antiviral preventive measures in survivors of central nervous system infections.
- DNA sequencing of the virus from the patient's cerebrospinal fluid revealed it had significant genetic differences compared to other known strains, suggesting the need for more research on various BVs in monkeys.
Background: Management of respiratory-related functional problems using sensory rehabilitation strategies has been poorly researched in patients with stroke.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether whole body vibration (WBV) training has an effect on functional capacity and respiratory functions in patients with stroke.
Methods: In the randomized-controlled study, 28 participants were randomized into two groups: one receiving Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT; n = 13) and one receiving both NDT and WBV (NDT + WBV; n = 15).
Cerebral palsy (CP) involves trunk impairment, leading to decreased postural control that is an important contributor to problems maintaining daily activities without undue fatigue. Our aim in this research was to determine the effects of trunk impairment on fatigue and balance in children with hemiplegic CP. We included 65 ambulatory children with CP in this cross-sectional study, and we grouped them into those with greater trunk impairment (Group 1, = 33) and lesser trunk impairment (Group 2, = 32) according to their scores on the Trunk Imparment Scale (TIS).

Background: Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) after stroke has negative effects on functional use of hemiplegic arm.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of HSP on upper extremity motor function and proprioception.
Methods: Hundred and twenty-two patients with hemiplegia were included in this study.
