Objectives

To evaluate the impact of eight weeks of Pilates Method on physical fitness and sleep quality of individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Methods

Randomized clinical trial blinded conducted with fifty-nine individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The participants were randomly allocated to the Pilates group (PG; n = 20), supervised physical exercise group (SPEG; n = 20) and control group (CG; n = 19). The intervention occurred twice a week for eight weeks in a total of 16 sessions. The primary outcome was distance covered in the 6-min walk test and the secondary outcomes were the profile of the sample, post-exercise fatigue and sleep quality.

Results

After the intervention, only the PG increased the distance covered in the 6-min walk test (p < 0.001; d = 0.762) and reduced the score on the modified BORG scale after exercise (p < 0.010; d = −0.835) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p < 0.005; d = −0.699). Furthermore, the PG covered a greater distance compared to the SPEG in the 6-min walk test [95%CI (26.129–179.770); p < 0.010; d = 1.021] and exhibited a greater reduction in fatigue levels compared to the CG [95%CI (−2.352 to −0.162); p < 0.050; d = 0.919].

Conclusion

Eight weeks of Pilates Method improve the physical fitness and sleep quality of individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome.

目的评价8周普拉提法对新冠肺炎后综合征患者体质和睡眠质量的影响。方法对59例新冠肺炎后综合征患者进行盲法随机临床试验。参与者被随机分配到普拉提组(PG；n = 20)，监督体育锻炼组(SPEG；n = 20)和对照组(CG；n = 19)。干预每周进行两次，共16次，持续8周。主要结果是6分钟步行测试中覆盖的距离，次要结果是样本的概况，运动后疲劳和睡眠质量。结果干预后，只有PG增加了6分钟步行测试中的步行距离(p <；0.001;d = 0.762)，运动后降低改良BORG评分(p <；0.010;d =−0.835)和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(p <；0.005;d =−0.699)。此外，在6分钟步行测试中，PG比SPEG覆盖的距离更大[95%CI (26.129-179.770)；p & lt;0.010;d = 1.021]，与CG相比，显示出更大的疲劳水平降低[95%CI(- 2.352至- 0.162)；p & lt;0.050;d = 0.919]。结论8周普拉提法可改善covid -19后综合征患者的体质和睡眠质量。

Background

People with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have insufficient ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) and decreases proprioception and muscle strength. Foam roller with and without vibration as a warm-up intervention may have benefits for healthy populations, but the effect on applied to injured individuals is still lacking, especially in CAI. Therefore, we aimed to compare the acute effects of three warm-up interventions, including vibration foam rolling (VR), foam rolling (FR), and static stretching (SS) in adults with CAI.

Methods

This study was a randomized, counterbalanced crossover trial. Eligible sixteen adults with CAI received all three interventions (VR, FR, and SS) in unilateral CAI leg in a randomized order. Each intervention included 6 sets, 30 s each, targeting the ankle dorsiflexors and plantarflexors, with a 30-s rest time in between. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM), muscle strength, and ankle proprioception were measured before and immediately after each intervention.

Results

VR significantly improved ankle DFROM and muscle strength by over 30% compared to the pre-intervention, whereas FR improved DFROM by 23.68%, and SS did not improve DFROM. Additionally, VR was more significantly effective than SS in improving ankle DFROM and maximal strength. The ankle joint repositioning error angle did not have significantly different.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that VR and FR interventions may be incorporated into warm-ups for adults with CAI to improve ankle DFROM. Furthermore, VR offers additional benefits in increasing muscle strength, especially compared to SS.

背景慢性踝关节不稳定（CAI）患者的踝关节背屈活动范围（DFROM）不足，本体感觉和肌肉力量下降。泡沫滚筒带振动和不带振动作为热身干预措施可能对健康人群有益，但对受伤者的应用效果仍缺乏研究，尤其是对 CAI 患者。因此，我们旨在比较三种热身干预措施（包括振动泡沫滚动（VR）、泡沫滚动（FR）和静态拉伸（SS））对 CAI 成人的急性效果。符合条件的 16 名 CAI 成人按照随机顺序在单侧 CAI 腿部接受了所有三种干预（振动泡沫滚动、FR 和 SS）。每种干预包括 6 组，每组 30 秒，针对踝关节背屈和跖屈，中间休息 30 秒。结果与干预前相比，VR 显著改善了踝关节背屈活动范围（DFROM）和肌肉力量，改善幅度超过 30%，而 FR 改善了 DFROM 23.68%，SS 没有改善 DFROM。此外，在改善踝关节DFROM和最大肌力方面，VR比SS更有效。结论我们的研究结果表明，VR 和 FR 干预措施可纳入 CAI 成人的热身运动中，以改善踝关节 DFROM。此外，与 SS 相比，VR 在增加肌肉力量方面具有额外的优势。

Objectives

Aging leads to physical and cognitive declines, notably affecting balance and motor skills, making falls a prevalent health concern among the elderly. Falls, a significant health issue among the elderly, often stem from these impairments. This study aims to investigate the impact of different insole materials, specifically cork and silicone, on balance and postural stability in the elderly.

Methods

A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Istanbul Barinyurt Elderly Care Center with 24 participants, divided into two groups to test cork and silicone insoles. Balance parameters, plantar pressure, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test were used as measures. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests.

Results

Post-intervention, the cork insole group showed significant improvements in balance, maximum plantar pressure, and functional mobility tests compared to the silicone insole group. While both insoles enhanced certain balance parameters and walking performance, cork insoles proved more effective in key outcomes. Additionally, maximum plantar pressure for the cork insoles group decreased significantly, indicating better pressure distribution and potentially enhanced balance.

Conclusion

Cork insoles are superior to silicone insoles in improving balance and postural stability among the elderly. This study supports using cork insoles as part of fall prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of material properties in orthopedic insole design. Future research should explore long-term effects and integrate insoles with other postural stability methods for comprehensive elderly care.

目标衰老会导致身体和认知能力下降，特别是影响平衡和运动技能，使跌倒成为老年人普遍关注的健康问题。跌倒作为老年人的一个重要健康问题，往往源于这些障碍。本研究旨在调查不同鞋垫材料（特别是软木和硅胶）对老年人平衡和姿势稳定性的影响。方法在伊斯坦布尔 Barinyurt 老年护理中心进行了一项随机对照试验，将 24 名参与者分为两组，分别测试软木和硅胶鞋垫。试验采用平衡参数、足底压力、定时起立（TUG）测试和五次坐立测试作为测量指标。结果干预后，与硅胶鞋垫组相比，软木鞋垫组在平衡、最大足底压力和功能活动度测试方面有显著改善。虽然两种鞋垫都能提高某些平衡参数和行走能力，但软木鞋垫在关键结果上更为有效。此外，软木鞋垫组的最大足底压力明显降低，这表明压力分布更好，并有可能增强平衡能力。结论软木鞋垫在改善老年人平衡能力和姿势稳定性方面优于硅胶鞋垫。这项研究支持将软木鞋垫作为预防跌倒策略的一部分，强调了材料特性在矫形鞋垫设计中的重要性。未来的研究应探索长期效果，并将鞋垫与其他姿势稳定方法结合起来，为老年人提供全面的护理。

Objectives

This study aimed to classify and identify shoulder movement patterns based on shoulder joint range of motion (RoM) by applying the K-means clustering algorithm.

Design

Observational study using data from the 5th Size Korea Anthropometric Survey (2003–2004).

Setting

Data analysis focused on anonymized shoulder RoM measurements from a national survey.

Participants

Analysis included 541 participants after excluding those with incomplete shoulder RoM data.

Main Outcome Measures

Identification of clusters based on measurements of shoulder flexion, extension, internal rotation, external rotation, horizontal adduction, and horizontal abduction.

Results

Eight distinct clusters were identified, each showing unique shoulder mobility characteristics. Clusters 1 and 5 had the lowest flexion ranges, whereas clusters 7 and 8 exhibited low internal rotation and horizontal adduction. Clusters 2 and 6 displayed the highest flexion and overall high flexibility, while clusters 3 and 4 presented moderate flexion with low horizontal adduction.

Conclusions

This observational study categorized shoulder movement into eight clusters, revealing diverse mobility patterns across the general population. This clustering provides a basis for potential research into the correlation between specific movement patterns and musculoskeletal disorders, aiding in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

设计使用第五次韩国人体测量调查（2003-2004 年）的数据进行观察研究。设置数据分析侧重于全国性调查中的匿名肩关节活动范围测量数据。主要结果测量根据肩关节屈曲、伸展、内旋、外旋、水平内收和水平外展的测量结果确定聚类。结果确定了八个不同的聚类，每个聚类都显示出独特的肩关节活动度特征。群组 1 和 5 的屈伸幅度最小，而群组 7 和 8 的内旋和水平内收幅度较小。结论这项观察性研究将肩关节活动分为八个群组，揭示了普通人群中不同的活动模式。这种分类为研究特定运动模式与肌肉骨骼疾病之间的相关性提供了基础，有助于制定有针对性的治疗策略。

Background

The new and therapeutic style of cyclic yoga, which is the art of aligning asana, pranayama, and yoga mudra techniques, can be used as a non-invasive style to improve or prevent some musculoskeletal disorders. For this purpose, this study was designed to investigate a selected course of cyclic yoga practice on some anthropometric indicators, musculoskeletal disorders, and blood pressure in middle-aged women.

Methods

ː Forty-two middle-aged women were assigned either to cyclic yoga (n = 21, 53.76 ± 4.073 years) or the control group (n = 21, 53.57 ± 4.781 years). The cyclic yoga group received yoga intervention for 10 weeks, three sessions per week, and 50–90 min per session. MANCOVA test was used for inter-group comparison, and variance with repeated measures was used for intra-group measurement.

Results

A 10-week of yoga training decreased weight, hip circumference, body mass index, percentage of body fat, waist-to-height ratio, round shoulder, thoracic kyphosis angle, lumbar lordosis angle, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. In addition, a significant increase in the percentage muscle mass variable was reported in the cyclic yoga group. There was also a difference between the two cyclic yoga and control groups in the post-test in the waist-to-height ratio, round shoulder, thoracic kyphosis angle, lumbar lordosis angle, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure variables.

Conclusions

ː The results suggest that cyclic yoga exercises, as an effective therapeutic alternative, low-cost, and accessible lead to the improvement of the round shoulder, hyperkyphosis, hyperlordosis, some anthropometric indices, and blood pressure.

Objectives

To analyze the magnitude and direction of inter-limb asymmetries in vertical jump, T-test, isokinetic peak torque, and muscle volume in professional female soccer players.

Methods

Sixteen female soccer players participated in the study (22.7 ± 3.5 years, 60.4 ± 12.7 kg, 164.2 ± 8.7 cm). The following tests were applied; the unilateral countermovement jump (CMJ), T-test (agility), peak torque of concentric knee extensor (PT_Con_Q), concentric and eccentric knee flexor (PT_Con_H; PT_Ecc_H), and muscle volume of quadriceps (MV_Q) and gastrocnemius (MV_G). The interlimb asymmetry magnitude was calculated as the percentage difference between the stronger and weaker limbs. For the direction of asymmetry, a negative sign (−) was assigned when the non-dominant lower limb was the stronger one, and a positive sign (+) when the dominant lower limb was the stronger one.

Results

The asymmetry (%) values varied from 0.7 to 11.9%, with the highest values of asymmetry found in the CMJ, PT_Con_Q, PT_Con_H, and PT_Ecc_H tests. Moderate levels of agreement were observed for CMJ - Vol_G (K = 0.53; 75% agreement); PT_Con_Q - PT_Con_H (K = 0.48; 75% agreement); T-test - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.43; 68.7% agreement). Fair levels of agreement were found between the T-test - Vol_Q (K = 0.21; 62.1% agreement); PT_Con_Q - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.36; 68.8% agreement); and PT_Con_H - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.31; 68.8% agreement).

Conclusions

We concluded that of greater asymmetries in the vertical jump and isokinetic torque tests. The direction of the asymmetry seems highly variable, however, the isokinetic tests showed greater agreements with the other tests.

方法 16 名女足运动员（22.7 ± 3.5 岁，60.4 ± 12.7 千克，164.2 ± 8.7 厘米）参加了研究。进行了以下测试：单侧反向移动跳跃（CMJ）、T 测试（敏捷性）、同心膝关节伸肌峰值扭矩（PT_Con_Q）、同心和偏心膝关节屈肌峰值扭矩（PT_Con_H；PT_Ecc_H）、股四头肌（MV_Q）和腓肠肌（MV_G）的肌肉体积。肢体间的不对称幅度是以较强肢体和较弱肢体之间的百分比差来计算的。对于不对称的方向，如果非优势下肢更强壮，则赋予负号（-），如果优势下肢更强壮，则赋予正号（+）。结果不对称（%）值从 0.7% 到 11.9% 不等，其中 CMJ、PT_Con_Q、PT_Con_H 和 PT_Ecc_H 测试的不对称值最高。CMJ - Vol_G (K = 0.53; 75% 一致性)、PT_Con_Q - PT_Con_H (K = 0.48; 75% 一致性)、T 测试 - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.43; 68.7% 一致性) 的一致性处于中等水平。T 测试 - Vol_Q (K = 0.21; 62.1% 的吻合率); PT_Con_Q - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.36; 68.8% 的吻合率); 和 PT_Con_H - PT_Ecc_H (K = 0.31; 68.8% 的吻合率)之间的吻合程度尚可。不对称的方向似乎变化很大，但是，等速测试与其他测试的一致性更高。

Background

Muscle stiffness is commonly associated with a sensation of tightness, pain and movement difficulty. It is unclear, however, whether changes in muscle stiffness can be objectively identified by myotonometry across time. This study investigated whether a myotonometer (MyotonPRO) can detect changes in muscle stiffness by delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

Methods

Twenty-three healthy adults participated in this study. DOMS was achieved in the gastrocnemii by downhill-backwards walking on a motorised treadmill. Subjective ratings of gastrocnemii pain and stiffness were recorded using the numerical rating scale. The MyotonPRO was used to record and extract objective muscle stiffness data. Recordings were taken at baseline and over a three-week recovery period. Spearman's rho correlation analyses were conducted between objective measures and subjective ratings of pain and stiffness. Repeated measure ANOVA tests were conducted to investigate the effect of DOMS over time.

Findings

No significant correlations were found between the objective measures and subjective ratings of pain (p = 0.22) or stiffness (p = 0.51). Myotonometry identified significant effects of DOMS on muscle stiffness (p < 0.001) over time. Significant effects of DOMS on subjective pain and stiffness rating data were found over time (p < 0.001).

Interpretations

Although DOMS was found to affect objective measures of muscle stiffness, these changes were not associated with subjective ratings. Future studies could replicate this study using other myotonometry methods to further investigate muscle stiffness and involve a larger cohort. Other work should investigate muscle stiffness in clinical musculoskeletal conditions resulting from injury or chronic pain.

背景肌肉僵硬通常与紧绷感、疼痛和运动困难有关。然而，目前还不清楚肌肉僵硬度的变化是否能通过肌电计客观地识别出来。本研究调查了肌强计（MyotonPRO）能否通过延迟性肌肉酸痛（DOMS）检测出肌肉僵硬度的变化。通过在电动跑步机上进行下坡-倒退行走来实现胃肠肌肉的 DOMS。使用数字评分量表记录胃肠部疼痛和僵硬的主观评分。MyotonPRO 用于记录和提取肌肉僵硬度的客观数据。记录时间为基线和三周的恢复期。客观测量值与疼痛和僵硬度的主观评分之间进行了斯皮尔曼 rho 相关性分析。结果在客观测量与疼痛（p = 0.22）或僵硬（p = 0.51）的主观评分之间没有发现明显的相关性。肌张力测定发现，随着时间的推移，DOMS 对肌肉僵硬有明显影响（p < 0.001）。虽然 DOMS 会影响肌肉僵硬度的客观测量，但这些变化与主观评分无关。未来的研究可以使用其他肌张力测量方法复制这项研究，以进一步调查肌肉僵硬程度，并让更多的人参与进来。其他研究还应该对因受伤或慢性疼痛导致的临床肌肉骨骼状况中的肌肉僵硬程度进行调查。

Background

Myofascial release technique (MFR) is frequently used in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), but there are limited studies on the acute effects of this technique. It was aimed to determine the acute effect of MFR technique on pain and flexibility in CLBP.

Methods

Forty CLBP patients (19 female; 21 male) with an average age of 40 years were randomized as MFR technique and classical massage groups. A single session of technique was applied to each group. Outcome measurements consisted of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Sit and Reach Test (SRT), Straight Leg Raise Test (SLRT), and Modified Schober Test.

Results

In within-group comparisons, all outcome measures (except right-SLRT) improved statistically significantly in both groups after interventions (p˂0.05). ANCOVA was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences in between groups after intervention while controlling for age. The analysis showed that VAS, SRT and left-SLRT results were significantly more improved after the MFR technique compared with classical massage (p˂0.05).

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MFR technique is a safe and effective method for the immediate relief of pain and the enhancement of flexibility. Furthermore, it demonstrates superior efficacy in pain relief and flexibility improvement compared to classical massage, which is another manual therapy technique.

背景肌筋膜松解技术（MFR）常用于慢性腰背痛（CLBP）患者的治疗，但有关该技术急性期效果的研究却很有限。方法将 40 名平均年龄为 40 岁的慢性腰背痛患者（19 名女性；21 名男性）随机分为肌筋膜松解术组和传统按摩组。每组各进行一次按摩。结果测量包括视觉模拟量表（VAS）、坐位和前伸试验（SRT）、直腿抬高试验（SLRT）和改良舒伯试验。结果在组内比较中，两组在干预后所有结果测量（除右侧-SLRT）均有显著的统计学改善（p˂0.05）。在控制年龄的前提下，进行方差分析以确定干预后组间是否存在明显差异。分析表明，与传统按摩相比，MFR 技术对 VAS、SRT 和左侧-SLRT 结果的改善幅度更大（p˂0.05）。此外，与传统按摩（另一种手法治疗技术）相比，它在缓解疼痛和改善柔韧性方面具有更优越的疗效。

Introduction

Transient ischemic conditioning (TIC) is a technique that involves short periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion, which may enhance muscle strength by increasing blood flow and improving energy supply to muscle fibers. This study aims to investigate the effect of TIC on quadriceps strength and examine its potential as a warm-up exercise in rehabilitation.

Methods

Fifteen healthy male participants underwent TIC on the quadriceps. Ischemia was induced for 5 min, followed by reperfusion. Muscle strength was assessed at baseline, 10 min post-intervention, and 20 min post-intervention.

Results

TIC applied to the quadriceps resulted in a significant increase in muscle strength compared to baseline (p ≤ 0.05). This increase in strength was observed at both 10 min and 20 min after the intervention.

Discussion

The results suggest that TIC can passively enhance muscle strength without inducing muscle fatigue. Therefore, TIC could be a valuable tool in rehabilitation where maintaining or improving muscle strength is essential.

Conclusion

TIC has shown potential as an effective method for improving muscle strength without causing fatigue. As such, it may be beneficial as a warm-up modality during rehabilitation, contributing to the recovery of motor function and muscle performance.

导言瞬时缺血调节（TIC）是一种短时间缺血后再灌注的技术，可通过增加血流量和改善肌肉纤维的能量供应来增强肌肉力量。本研究旨在探讨 TIC 对股四头肌力量的影响，并研究其作为康复热身运动的潜力。诱导缺血 5 分钟，然后进行再灌注。结果与基线相比，对股四头肌进行 TIC 可显著增强肌肉力量（p ≤ 0.05）。讨论结果表明，TIC 可以被动增强肌肉力量，而不会导致肌肉疲劳。因此，TIC 可以成为维持或改善肌肉力量的重要康复工具。因此，在康复过程中作为一种热身方式，它可能会对运动功能和肌肉表现的恢复有所帮助。
