Centre for Mental Health and Safety, Division of Psychology and Mental Health, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Introduction: Around 1 in 20 patients experience avoidable healthcare-associated harm worldwide. Despite longstanding concerns, there is insufficient information available about the safety of healthcare for prisoners. To address this, this study will investigate the scale and nature of avoidable healthcare-associated harm for prisoners in England.

Objective: To determine whether hip flexion (HF), extension (HE), abduction (HA), knee flexion (KF) and extension (KE), and ankle plantarflexion (APF) and dorsiflexion (ADF) Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) differentiates between non-fall and fall history in persons with MS (PwMS) after accounting for age, gender, fatigue, disability, and disease duration.
Design: Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study.
Setting: Community-based comprehensive MS Center PARTICIPANTS: 172 persons with MS who completed a one-time visit INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Lower limb (LL) MVC was measured for each muscle group as isometric peak torque (Newton-meter: Nm) of both limbs (Strongest: S; Weakest: W) using a Biodex Dynamometer and normalized by body weight (Nm/kg).
Neural Mass Modeling in the Cortical Motor Area and the Mechanism of Alpha Rhythm Changes.

Investigating the physiological mechanisms in the motor cortex during rehabilitation exercises is crucial for assessing stroke patients' progress. This study developed a single-channel Jansen neural mass model to explore the relationship between model parameters and motor cortex mechanisms. Firstly, EEG signals were recorded from 11 healthy participants under 20%, 40%, and 60% maximum voluntary contraction, and alpha rhythm power spectral density characteristics were extracted using the Welch power spectrum method.

Short-term unloading experienced following injury or hospitalisation induces muscle atrophy and weakness. The effects of exercise following unloading have been scarcely investigated. We investigated the functional and molecular adaptations to a resistance training (RT) programme following short-term unloading.

Introduction: This systematic review is aimed to evaluate the outcomes of published studies on the topic of fatigue-induced neuromuscular and biomechanical changes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Evidence Acquisition: The identification of studies involved a search across three databases - PubMed, Scopus, and Sportdiscus - until July 2023. The key terms utilized were fatigue, anterior cruciate ligament, biomechanics, electromyography, and landing.
