Context: Spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) is a condition characterized by muscle stiffness and involuntary movements, which greatly affect movement abilities and overall well-being. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a treatment option for managing spasticity, though the current evidence varies.
Objective: This systematic review seeks to assess the efficacy of LLLT on spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.
Background/objectives: Chronic pain syndromes pose a significant global health challenge to patients and physicians with a complex relationship of biological and psychosocial factors that are only partly understood. Emerging research suggests an association between prenatal and childhood adversity and the development of somatic syndromes, particularly in females. This study aims to explore the relationship between sexual dimorphic epigenetic changes in the connectome and prenatal and early life adversity (ELA).

- Patellofemoral syndrome is a common knee condition affecting many people, particularly overweight or obese women, and the study aimed to explore the effects of isokinetic muscle strengthening on various health factors.
- Twenty-four participants were divided into two groups, with one focusing on isokinetic muscle strengthening alongside rehabilitation while the second followed a rehabilitation program with passive compensation.
- Results showed both groups had improvements in muscle strength, mobility, and quality of life, but the group engaged in isokinetic strengthening showed greater gains, suggesting this method is more effective for treating patellofemoral syndrome.
Quantifying saccadic eye movements can assist in identifying dysfunctional brain networks in both healthy and diseased people. Infrared Oculography is a simple and non-invasive approach to capturing and quantifying saccades, providing information that might aid in diagnosis and outcome assessments. The effect of spinal manipulation on quantified saccadic performance parameters has not been fully studied despite known post-manipulative effects on the brain and brainstem regions controlling them.

Detailed studies have revealed the capacity of EMG signals to access detailed information, particularly in the classification of hand gestures. Indeed, this advancement emerges as an interesting element in refining the recognition and interpretation of sign languages and exploring deeper into the phonology of signed languages.
