Effects of progessive . constant protocol whole-body vibration on muscle activation, pain, disability and functional performance in non-specific chronic low back pain patients: a randomized clinical trial.

Background And Objective: Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) is a prevalent condition causing significant disability and functional impairment. Whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) has emerged as a new treatment method, but additional research is necessary to determine the optimal parameters of WBVE that would be beneficial for patients experiencing chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aims to investigate the effects of two type of WBVE (constant progressive) on pain, disability, functional performance, and muscle activity in patients with NSCLBP.

Effectiveness of backward gait training on body composition, cardiopulmonary fitness, inflammation, and metabolic marker in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Walking is a fundamental physical activity with significant health implications. Backward gait training (BGT) has emerged as a novel approach with potential benefits, yet its effects in comparison to traditional forward gait training (FGT) remain uncertain. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of BGT on body composition, cardiopulmonary fitness, and inflammatory and metabolic markers in adults.

Impact of Concurrent Exercise Training on Cardiac Autonomic Modulation, Metabolic Profile, Body Composition, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Quality of Life in Type 2 Diabetes with Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often leads to cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), a severe complication affecting cardiovascular health. Exercise training is a proven intervention for improving metabolic control and cardiovascular health in T2DM, but the effects of concurrent exercise training (CET), combining aerobic and resistance exercises, on CAN are not fully understood. This randomized controlled trial investigates the impact of a structured CET program on cardiac autonomic modulation, metabolic profile, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with T2DM and CAN.

Effect of Whole-Body Vibration Exercise on Pain, Disability, Balance, Proprioception, Functional Performance and Quality of Life in People with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) presents significant treatment challenges due to its multifactorial nature. Whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) has emerged as a potential therapeutic modality, offering benefits across various domains, including pain reduction, improved balance, and enhanced quality of life (QoL). The aim of this present systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effects of WBVE on pain, disability, balance, proprioception, functional performance, and QoL in individuals with NSCLBP.

Effects of physical interventions on pain and disability in chronic low back pain with pronated feet: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: A link between pronated feet (PF) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been reported in the literature. However, physical interventions (PI) like physiotherapy and orthotics mainly target the lower back, neglecting the broader biomechanical impacts of PF that affect the feet, ankles, and overall posture. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive meta-analyses or systematic reviews on this subject.

Effects of facilitatory and inhibitory Kinesio taping on lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity, motor neuron excitability, and countermovement jump height in university athletes from multiple sports: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the temporal effects of two Kinesio Taping (KT) techniques on lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity, motor neuron excitability, and countermovement jump height in university athletes from hockey, football, basketball, and volleyball. Additionally, it investigates whether the athletes' playing positions-either attacker or defender-influence these outcomes following the KT application.

Methods: Forty-eight subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group A (n = 16), Group B (n = 16), and Group C (n = 16).
