Influence of pelvic position on shoulder range of motion.

Lecturer of Physical Therapy, Basic Science Department, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Suez University, Suez, Egypt.
Background: pelvis and shoulder are deeply integrated. They are connected by myofascial slings. The pelvic and spinal posture affects the position of the scapula and the activity of its muscles and affects acromio-humeral distance and so that affects shoulder movement.

Despite the broad agreement that bone stiffness is heavily dependent on the underlying bone density, there is no consensus on a unified relationship that applies to both cancellous and cortical compartments. Bone from the two compartments is generally assessed separately, and few mechanical test data are available for samples from the transitional regions between them. In this study, we present a data-driven framework integrating experimental testing and numerical modeling of the human lumbar vertebra through an energy balance criterion, to develop a unified density-modulus relationship across the entire vertebral body, without the necessity of differentiation between trabecular and cortical regions.

Objective: To investigate the protective effects of ankle braces in patients with functional ankle instability.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 30 participants recruited from January 2023 to December 2023 at School of Physical Education, Nanchang University. These participants were divided into an ankle brace group wearing braces and a control group without braces.
Closing the air gap: the use of drones for studying wildlife ecophysiology.

Techniques for non-invasive sampling of ecophysiological data in wild animals have been developed in response to challenges associated with studying captive animals or using invasive methods. Of these, drones, also known as Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and their associated sensors, have emerged as a promising tool in the ecophysiology toolkit. In this review, we synthesise research in a scoping review on the use of drones for studying wildlife ecophysiology using the PRISMA-SCr checklist and identify where efforts have been focused and where knowledge gaps remain.

Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Sport & Health, Exercise Science & Neuroscience Unit Universität Paderborn, Warburger Straße 100, 33098, Paderborn, Germany.
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACLi) impact football players substantially leading to performance declines and premature career endings. Emerging evidence suggests that ACLi should be viewed not merely as peripheral injuries but as complex conditions with neurophysiological aspects. The objective of the present study was to compare kicking performance and associated cortical activity between injured and healthy players.
