Interprofessional collaboration is an essential skill to optimize the care of older adults with complex problems. We successfully developed and evaluated an interprofessional teamwork simulation exercise for medical, nursing, pharmacy, and social work students. Pharmacy students participated via video conferencing. Before the simulation, students watched a teamwork video and reviewed the patient case. Following an icebreaker exercise, interdisciplinary faculty facilitated a discussion highlighting effective teamwork strategies. Students then collaborated to develop a discharge plan, followed by a simulated family meeting with a theater student. Interdisciplinary faculty again provided structured debriefing highlighting principles of effective teamwork. Students self-rated interprofessional practice core competencies were evaluated using a retrospective pre/post survey and analyzed using paired t-tests. We qualitatively examined the use of distance technology and assessed learner's satisfaction with the project. All core competency categories for all disciplines demonstrated significant improvements in mean scores. Students' qualitative comments demonstrated positive impact on learning interprofessional core competencies.

Loaded Open Kinetic Chain Exercises Caused More Anterior Tibial Translation and Anteromedial Graft Elongation Than Closed Kinetic Chain Following Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
J Sport Rehabil

School of Exercise and Health, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai, China.
Context: To further improve rehabilitation programs while preventing overstretching the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a thorough understanding of the knee kinematics and ACL length change during closed kinetic chain and open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises is essential. The measurement of ACL graft length relates to the changes in strain experienced by the ACL graft during different types of exercises rather than simple physical length.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of closed kinetic chain and OKC exercises on tibiofemoral kinematics and ACL graft length changes following double-bundle ACL reconstruction.
A Deep Learning-Based Framework Oriented to Pathological Gait Recognition with Inertial Sensors.

Abnormal locomotor patterns may occur in case of either motor damages or neurological conditions, thus potentially jeopardizing an individual's safety. Pathological gait recognition (PGR) is a research field that aims to discriminate among different walking patterns. A PGR-oriented system may benefit from the simulation of gait disorders by healthy subjects, since the acquisition of actual pathological gaits would require either a higher experimental time or a larger sample size.

A rapidly growing body of experimental evidence in the literature shows that the effects of humans interacting with vibrating structures, other humans, and their surrounding environment can be critical for reliable estimation of structural vibrations. The Interaction-based Vibration Serviceability Assessment framework (I-VSA) was proposed by the authors in 2017 to address this, taking into account human-structure dynamic interactions (HSI) to simulate the structural vibrations experienced by each occupant/pedestrian. The I-VSA method, however, had limited provisions to simulate simultaneously multiple modes of structure in HSI, to simulate human-human and human-environment interactions, and the movement pattern of the occupants/pedestrians.

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.

Background: Hip morphology variations, particularly in femoral neck shaft angle (NSA) and iliac wing width (IWW), have been associated with gluteal tendinopathy. However, the biomechanical implications of these morphological differences on gluteal muscle function are not well understood. This study investigates how NSA and IWW influence gluteal muscle forces, moment arms, and estimated tendon loads during walking, aiming to provide insights into the potential biomechanical pathways that may contribute to altered lateral hip loading patterns.
