This study employed multivariate analysis to investigate the effects of a 14-week multicomponent training program on sedentary adults and older populations, focusing on improvements in physical fitness, health markers, and anthropometric measures. The data included 376 participants aged 30 to 84 years who had been inactive for at least 3 months. Results showed that participants aged 71 and above had lower systolic blood pressure, height, body mass, elbow flexion and extension, sitting and standing up from a chair, agility, 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and handgrip strength values compared to younger age groups (p < 0.

The adult turtle spinal cord can generate multiple kinds of limb movements, including swimming, three forms of scratching, and limb withdrawal (flexion reflex), even without brain input and sensory feedback. There are many multifunctional spinal neurons, activated during multiple motor patterns, and some behaviorally specialized neurons, activated during only one. How do multifunctional and behaviorally specialized neurons each contribute to motor output? We analyzed in vivo intracellular recordings of multifunctional and specialized neurons.

Division of Creative Physical Therapy, Field of Prevention and Rehabilitation Sciences, Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.
Objective: To investigate the association of nutritional risk with gait function and activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adult patients with hip fractures.
Methods: The retrospective data of older adult patients diagnosed with hip fractures who visited the recovery-phase rehabilitation ward between January 2019 and December 2022 were reviewed. Nutritional risk was evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index; gait function and ADLs were assessed using the modified Harris Hip Score subitem and Functional Independence Measure, respectively.

Department of Gastroenterology & Human Nutrition Unit, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Background & Objectives: Vitamin D plays an important role in bone metabolism, and liver is the intermediary site of vitamin D metabolism. The purpose of this study was to study the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and bone health in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: Prospectively, serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] level were assessed in cirrhotics by chemiluminescence method.

Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Team Physician, Stanford University, Redwood City, CA, USA.
Purpose: Hip microinstability is a relatively new diagnosis which is increasingly being discussed in the literature and yet there are no clear guidelines for making a diagnosis. Microinstability has generally been defined as persistent excessive hip motion that has become symptomatic especially with pain. This aim of this Delphi study was to seek expert opinion to formulate a diagnostic criteria for hip microinstability.
