Department of Physical Education and Sport, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Granada, 18011 Granada, Spain.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the test-retest reliability of an isometric and isometric/vibratory muscular strength protocol in the bilateral seated bench press (BSBP), bilateral seated rowing (BSR), unilateral seated right knee extension (USKER), and left knee extension (USKEL) tests controlled using functional electromechanical dynamometry (FEMD) in healthy young adults. A repeated measures design was used to determine the reliability of a muscular strength protocol in isometric and isometric vibration modes with FEMD. No significant differences were found in test-retest analysis ( > 0.

Individuals exposed to the propagation of shock waves generated by the detonation of explosive charges may suffer Traumatic Brain Injury. The mechanism of cranial deflection is one of many hypotheses that could explain the observed brain damage. To investigate this physical phenomenon in a reproducible manner, a new simplified cranial substitute was designed with a mechanical response close to that of a human skull when subjected to this type of loading.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Videolaryngostroboscopy Parameters (VLSP) form, a diagnostic tool for evaluating laryngeal conditions based on 12 key parameters.
- A total of 160 VLS forms were assessed by four expert phoniatricians, comparing the VLSP form to the Voice Vibratory Assessment with Laryngeal Imaging (VALI) form to analyze accuracy and consistency before and after phonosurgery.
- Results indicate that the VLSP form demonstrates good reliability and is effective for documenting changes in laryngeal anatomy and function, making it a valuable resource for voice clinicians.
Feasibility and usability of a virtual-reality-based sensorimotor activation apparatus for carpal tunnel syndrome patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the usability of a virtual reality-assisted sensorimotor activation (VRSMA) apparatus for individual digit rehabilitation. The study had two main objectives: Firstly, to collect preliminary data on the expectations and preferences of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) regarding virtual reality (VR) and an apparatus-assisted therapy for their affected digits. Secondly, to evaluate the usability of the VRSMA apparatus that was developed.

Objectives: benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) represent the most common etiology of voice disorders in paediatric population, cause of dysphonia by preventing full vocal fold closure and modifying vibratory characteristics. Of those pathologies, vocal fold nodules represent almost 63% of the cases in children between 0-14 years. Management may include a combination of phonosurgery, voice therapy and pharmacological treatment, but almost 95% of otolaryngologists recommend voice therapy as primary treatment.
