Prevalence of Temporomandibular Disorders in Adult Women with Endometriosis.

The prevalence of endometriosis varies between 10% and 18%, while temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) concern between 29 and 34% of the general population. Both conditions share similar etiological factors and symptoms such as widespread, chronic pain. Therefore, both are qualified as Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions.

The impact of high-intensity arm crank exercise on reaction time in wheelchair fencers: gender differences and mechanical predictors.

To achieve high performance, wheelchair fencing (WF) athletes are required to exhibit good physiological and timing indicators. The main aims of this study were to assess the relationship between the results of the repeated sprint ability (RSA) test and reaction time (RT) in WF, and to evaluate changes in RT after repeated high-intensity sprints in the group of an international-level WF athletes. This experimental study involved 18 athletes (aged 34.

The Impact of Resistance Training on Equilibrium Abilities and Quality of Life in Older Adults after SARS-CoV-2 Survival.

The scientific literature on COVID-19 and its long-term impacts on all-body systems and their treatments is still limited. The aim of the study was to create a safe protocol-based intervention to improve functional and equilibrium abilities in older adults impacted by COVID-19. This study used a sample of 46 people (intervention group: n = 26; control group: n = 20).

Resistance Exercise Program Is Feasible and Effective in Improving Functional Strength in Post-COVID Survivors.

: Evidence suggests that COVID-19 infection can cause lasting health consequences. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation services have been recommended to reduce the sequalae. However, the effectiveness of physical exercise interventions remains insufficiently documented.

The Relationship between Kinesiophobia, Emotional State, Functional State and Chronic Pain in Subjects with/without Temporomandibular Disorders.

Although there is growing evidence that kinesiophobia is correlated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), its relationship with other characteristic TMD comorbidities, such as depression, anxiety, functional limitations, and pain in the TMD population, has rarely been investigated. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between kinesiophobia, emotional state, functional state and chronic pain in subjects both with and without TMD. A total of 94 subjects participated in the study and were divided into two groups (47 subjects each)-TMD (subjects with temporomandibular disorders) and nTMD (asymptomatic controls)-on the basis of the RDC/TMD protocol.

Hip joint mobility in relation to measurement position, gender and limb dominance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether three different measurement position yield divergent results in ROM using a goniometer, and how is it affected by anthropometrical factors.

Methods: We measured the range of rotation in the hip joint in healthy participants aged 21.6 ± 1.

The influence of three different test positions and thigh asymmetry on measurements of isometric hip flexion strength in men and women.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare muscle strength at 90° hip and knee flexion as measured in three different positions and to investigate whether an internal or external deficit in the range of rotation in the hip joint affects flexor muscle strength.

Methods: We measured the peak muscle torque of rotation in the hip joint, using isometric torquemeter, and hip ROM in healthy participants N = 40, aged 21.6 ± 1.

The impact of obesity and age on the risk of falls in elderly women.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of obesity and age on body balance disorders in women over 60, especially whether obesity increases the FR in older females and whether age and obesity affect the same stabilographic parameters when it comes to the FR.

Methods: The study consisted of 56 inactive females aged 71.77 ± 7.

Selected Tools for Assessing the Risk of Falls in Older Women.

Methods: Fifty-five females were examined (May 2018-June 2019). Stabilographic examinations were performed with eyes open (EO) and closed (EC). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman rank correlation were performed to determine the relationships and differences between the above tests.

Diagnostic dependence of muscle strength measurements and the risk of falls in the elderly.

Low muscle strength appears to increase balance disorders and the tendency to fall. Diagnostic terms indicate that sarcopenia and risks of falling are related. The aim of this study is to verify which diagnostic tools used for the assessment of muscle strength in sarcopenia can be used for fall risk assessment in older women.
