Article Synopsis
- Anomalous gait following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is characterized by excessive trunk lateral flexion, which can hinder walking ability; lateral weight shifting exercises during double-leg standing may help improve this.
- This study aimed to evaluate how physical therapists' instructions to minimize trunk lateral flexion during these exercises affect the movement patterns and muscle activity of THA patients.
- Results showed that guided patients demonstrated less trunk lateral flexion and improved hip mechanics compared to those without instruction, highlighting the importance of therapist guidance in rehabilitation post-THA, especially considering variations in trunk flexion direction.

Muscle atrophy due to prolonged immobilization leads to severe dysfunction and progression of disease and injury. This highlights the necessity for early rehabilitation, even during the non-ambulatory stages. As manifestations vary among individuals, target-specific rehabilitation is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes.

Objective: Ambulatory venous pressure (AVP) is the drop of pressure observed in the superficial veins of the lower leg during movement. This phenomenon has been linked to the function of the calf muscle pump (CMP) and the competence of venous valves. Nevertheless, the concept of the CMP function remains controversial.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if surface electromyography (sEMG) demonstrates differences in muscle activation between normal and dogs recovering from spinal cord injury due to intervertebral disk extrusion.
Animals: Two groups of client-owned small-breed chondrodysplastic-type dogs were tested. Group 1 consisted of seven ambulatory paraparetic dogs that had undergone a hemilaminectomy procedure in the T3-L3 region for intervertebral disk extrusion 1 month prior.
