Background
To monitor public interest (PI) in information related to Dry needling (DN) therapy and examine potential temporal, seasonal, and income-related trends that may impact PI by using the relative search volume (RSV) from the Google Trends tool for the keyword "Dry Needling."
Methods
For this cross-sectional observational study, a dataset was created using the Google Trends tool from 2004 to the present in the United States (US). To examine potential income-related disparities in PI in DN across the US, RSV values were recorded in the five states with the highest and the lowest median income (Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington and Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kentucky, respectively).
Results
A linear regression model showed that the PI in DN increased significantly (R2 = 0,902, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the RSV values between the month of the year and the season of the year (p = 1.000 and p = 0.997, respectively). RSV values of the five highest-income and low-income states showed significant increases (R2 = 0,624, p < 0.001, and R2 = 0,477, p < 0.001, respectively). More rapid growth in interest in DN in states with high income compared to those with low income (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
PI in DN treatment is increasing in both high and low-income states. States with higher incomes are more interested. DN treatment is expected to become more popular, which will lead to a rising demand for comprehensive education in medical schools and clinician training programs. In addition, there will also be a need for easily accessible, high-quality information resources.
背景通过使用谷歌趋势工具对关键词 "干针疗法 "的相对搜索量(RSV),监测公众对干针疗法相关信息的兴趣(PI),并研究可能影响 PI 的潜在时间、季节和收入相关趋势。 方法在这项横断面观察性研究中,使用谷歌趋势工具创建了美国 2004 年至今的数据集。结果线性回归模型显示,DN 的 PI 显著增加(R2 = 0,902, p <0.001)。不同月份和不同季节的 RSV 值之间没有明显差异(p = 1.000 和 p = 0.997)。五个最高收入州和低收入州的 RSV 值均有显著增加(分别为 R2 = 0,624, p < 0.001 和 R2 = 0,477, p < 0.001)。与低收入州相比,高收入州对 DN 的兴趣增长更快(p < 0.001)。收入越高的州对 DN 治疗越感兴趣。预计 DN 治疗将越来越受欢迎,这将导致医学院和临床医生培训项目对综合教育的需求增加。此外,还需要易于获取的高质量信息资源。

Background
Myofascial Induction Therapy (MIT) is a physiotherapeutic (PT) intervention addressing musculoskeletal disorders. Standardizing MIT as a manual PT intervention ensures consistency and replicability.
Aim
To describe correlated variables and changes in fascial stiffness and pelvic mobility after applying the Crossed Hands Technique based on MIT.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study involved 15 PTs trained in myofascial induction and 15 healthy individuals. Environmental (ambient temperature, stretcher height, width), patient (subscapular fatty fold, BMI, height, chest length, lumbopelvic mobility, fascial stiffness), and PT variables (pressure, traction, hand temperature, kinematic changes) were assessed during lumbodorsal hands-cross at 1-min intervals for 5 min. Pelvic mobility was measured using kinovea photogrammetry and dorsolumbar stiffness using a durometer. Descriptive analysis and correlations were applied.
Results
PTs had a mean 5.3 years of MIT experience. The average force was 5.5 N, traction force 0.39 N. Post-technique, individuals showed 4° increased pelvic mobility, minimal stiffness changes at T7 and L4 levels. Kinematic variables for the PTs revealed an average shoulder flexion of 40° and bilateral elbow flexion of 18°. Following the application of the technique, individuals who received MIT experienced a 4° increase in pelvic mobility, with only minor changes in stiffness observed at both the T7 and L4 levels.
Conclusions
The Crossed Hands Technique involves key variables like force and traction, varying over time. Clinical outcomes are influenced by patient and environmental factors. Notably, the physiotherapist's hand temperature, right shoulder internal rotation, right foot abduction, and fourth finger opening show significant correlations with tissue stiffness changes.

Background
Coactivation between tonic and phasic muscles is essential for correct posture and movement. Impaired movement patterns and postural changes facilitate the flexor response to protect painful tissue in the injured area. Tone changes between tonic and phasic muscles lead to an imbalance in the rotator cuff (RC) muscles.
Design
A randomized controlled pilot study.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of applying myofascial release (MFR) to the muscles in the cervicothoracic region for the treatment of fascia limitations in patients with postoperative RC tear.
Materials and methods
A total of 20 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The patients in the control group performed exercises, whereas those in the MFR group performed exercises in addition to MFR. Pain intensity, grip strength, pectoralis minor flexibility, Constant Murley Score (CMS), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) score were evaluated. Pain intensity was recorded before and after the MFR sessions.
Results
There were no significant differences between the groups regarding pain, grip strength, pectoralis minor flexibility, CMS values, or SF-36 score (p > 0.05). There were significant differences in pain levels measured before and after all MFR sessions. Moreover, a significant decrease is shown between the first and last sessions in the MFR group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
MFR can be useful, especially in postoperative RC patients who have pain in the early period. Significant reductions in pain intensity after MFR can help prepare patients for exercise and reduce pain-related medication use.

Background
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common conditions in the United States. Dysfunctional patterns of the erector spinae (ES) and gluteus medius (GM) muscles often accompany episodes of LBP.
Objectives
To evaluate the intra-rater reliability of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) in obtaining thickness measurements of the ES and GM muscles at rest and during submaximal contraction.
Design
Single-group repeated-measures reliability study.
Methods
A volunteer sample of 30 adults with current LBP was examined. Thickness measurements of the ES and GM at rest and during contraction were obtained by using RUSI during a single session. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to estimate reliability. Reliability was further assessed by calculating standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC).
Results
By using a mean of 3 measures, intra-rater reliability estimates ranged from 0.999 to 0.999 for ES, and 0.998 to 0.999 for GM. Reliability estimates for single thickness measures ranged from 0.997 to 0.998 for ES, and 0.995 to 0.997 for GM. Reliability estimates were lower for percent thickness change measures than the corresponding single thickness measures for all conditions.
Conclusions
RUSI thickness measurements of the ES and GM muscles in patients with LBP, when based on the mean of 3 measures, are highly reliable when taken by a single examiner in a single session.

Background
The ankle-knee-hip joint systems have structures that can produce mechanical work through elastic, viscoelastic mechanisms or muscle activity. This study aimed to compute sit-to-stand (STS) joint works in lower limbs between blind and sighted children to find the relationship between visual memory and STS joint work variables.
Methods
This study included fifteen female children with congenitally blind (CB) and 30 healthy girls without visual impairments. The children with no visual impairments were randomly divided into two condition groups with 15 each, the eyes open (EO) and the eyes closed (EC). Inverse dynamics calculated joint works by integrating multiple the moment and angular velocity (F1) and force and velocity (F2). They were normalized to body mass and body height.
Results
Generally, the sensitivity of F1 (on both sides in the sagittal and frontal planes) was more than F2 (on the non-dominant side in the mediolateral and vertical axes). In the ML axis, the EC group had insufficient maximal non-dominant hip work relative to the EO group (p = 0.002). In addition, the CB group suffered from low hip efficiency (p = 0.003) and high knee (p < 0.001) mechanical work.
Conclusions
Numerous differences between CB and EC groups (on knee and hip works) showed that the time of visual input deprivation could change the type of human body's strategies to reach the consolidation process and keep adequate balance during STS. Therefore, rehabilitation programs should be aimed at addressing the impairments in the management of restricted visual input during STS performance.

Dual-task assessments can identify changes in postural control during balance assessments. Static standing with backward counting is frequently used to evaluate postural control while dual-tasking. The most reliable countdown method for standing postural stability has not yet been defined.
Research objective
to investigate postural stability's intra- and inter-day reliability while backward counting in different steps.
Method
Thirty-nine healthy adults (20 females, 26.94 ± 7.55 years) completed 70 s trials of stability tests with no dual-task, counting backward under five conditions (in ones, tows, threes, fours, and fives) while standing on a force-plate in three sessions: two sessions were on the same day, and the third session was one-week apart. The repeatability of measurements was tested using repeated-measure analysis of variance, interclass correlation, and standard error of measurements.
Results
The interclass correlation scores ranged from 0.67 to 0.92, and the standard error of measurements ranged from 2.9% to 13.4%. No significant systematic changes (p < 0.05) occurred between the testing sessions for any backward counting.
Discussion
The backward counting showed higher reliability when performed in condition 5 (counting backward in five's). The inter-day reliability scores were greater than intera-day reliability.
Conclusions
Dual-tasking with most backward counting (in ones to fives) is reliable, and a quantitative assessment of the center of pressure could be used to monitor the changes in postural stability between sessions.

Introduction
Susac's syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterised by a triad of encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), branch retinal artery occlusion (loss of vision) and sensorineural hearing loss. This study presents the case of a patient undergoing intensive physiotherapy intervention following an injury, focusing on assessments such as volume and range of motion measurements, manual muscle tests, and pain intensity evaluations using various scales.
Case description
The patient, aged 17, initially presented with severe limitations in mobility, diagnosed with Susac syndrome. Requiring assistance to walk even short distances due to fear and insecurity. Through a structured physiotherapy program spanning several months, various assessments were conducted, including manual muscle tests and circumference measurements. Significant improvements were observed for muscle function, upper and lower limb circumferences, and performance in mobility tests.
Outcome
After 12 weeks of intensive therapy with a follow up for 4 months, progress was observed. Measurements of volume and range of motion, manual muscle test (MMT), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and VAS scale were used as outcome variables. The patient transitioned from relying heavily on assistance for mobility to walking independently for 100 m. Muscle strength and endurance significantly improved, as evidenced by higher grades in manual muscle tests and reduced completion times in mobility assessments.
Discussion
The presented case exemplifies the effectiveness of intensive physiotherapy intervention in improving mobility and functional outcomes in a patient with Susac Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by neurological manifestations. Despite the non-traumatic nature of the condition, Susac Syndrome poses significant challenges to mobility and quality of life due to its impact on the microvasculature of the brain, retina, and inner ear. The structured rehabilitation program, supported by comprehensive assessments including manual muscle tests and circumference evaluations, facilitated targeted interventions.
Conclusion
The observed improvements underscore the importance of tailored rehabilitation approaches in promoting recovery and independence in individuals with complex neurological conditions like Susac Syndrome.

导言苏萨克综合征是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,以脑病(大脑功能障碍)、视网膜分支动脉闭塞(视力丧失)和感音神经性听力损失三联症为特征。本研究介绍了一名受伤后接受强化物理治疗干预的患者的病例,重点评估了患者的运动量和运动范围、徒手肌肉测试以及使用各种量表进行的疼痛强度评估。由于恐惧和不安全感,即使短距离行走也需要他人协助。通过几个月的结构化物理治疗计划,进行了各种评估,包括徒手肌肉测试和周长测量。经过 12 周的强化治疗和 4 个月的随访,患者的肌肉功能、上下肢围度和活动能力测试均有明显改善。结果变量包括运动量和运动范围、徒手肌肉测试(MMT)、定时上下楼测试(TUG)和 VAS 量表。肌肉力量和耐力明显改善,这体现在徒手肌肉测试的等级提高和活动能力评估的完成时间缩短上。 讨论本病例体现了强化物理治疗干预对改善苏萨克综合征患者活动能力和功能结果的有效性。尽管苏萨克综合征属于非创伤性疾病,但由于其对大脑、视网膜和内耳微血管的影响,给患者的行动能力和生活质量带来了巨大挑战。结构化康复计划辅以包括徒手肌肉测试和周长评估在内的综合评估,有助于采取有针对性的干预措施。 结论所观察到的改善突出表明,量身定制的康复方法对于促进苏萨克综合征等复杂神经系统疾病患者的康复和独立非常重要。我们有必要开展进一步的研究,探索针对这类患者的最佳康复策略和长期疗效。

Introduction
The self-treatment with a foam roller is a popular form of myofascial release, although the underlying mechanisms, particularly on pain sensitivity, remain unclear. It is hypothesized that the hypoalgesic local effects are probably due to changes in fascial and muscle tissue, whereas remote effects may be influenced by central endogenous pain modulation. This systematic review aimed to quantify the difference between local and remote hypoalgesic effects of the foam rolling intervention.
Method
A systematic search was conducted in the databases Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Published randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of foam rolling on Pressure Pain Thresholds (PPTs) in healthy individuals and patients with musculoskeletal pain were included. Quality assessment and evidence synthesis were performed according to Cochrane Handbook recommendations. A meta-analysis was performed using standardized mean differences and 95% CIs.
Results
Local PPTs changed after rolling in a pre-post comparison with a small effect size: SMD = −0.42 (95 % CI = −0.57 to −0.26); I2 = 1 %. Remote PPTs also changed after rolling in a pre-post comparison with a small effect size: SMD = −0.47 (95 % CI = −0.80 to −0.14); I2 = 0 %. Foam rolling showed no effect on local PPTs when compared with a control group: SMD = 0.10 (95 % CI = −0.19 to 0.39); I2 = 0 %.
Conclusion
No consistent effects of foam rolling on PPTs were demonstrated in healthy individuals.
导言:使用泡沫滚筒进行自我治疗是一种流行的肌筋膜松解方式,但其潜在机制,尤其是对疼痛敏感性的影响,仍不清楚。据推测,局部低痛效应可能是由于筋膜和肌肉组织的变化所致,而远处效应则可能受到中枢内源性疼痛调节的影响。本系统性综述旨在量化泡沫滚动干预的局部和远端减痛效果之间的差异。方法在 Pubmed、Cochrane Library、Web of Science 和 CINAHL 等数据库中进行了系统性检索。纳入了已发表的随机对照试验和非随机对照试验,这些试验调查了泡沫滚动对健康人和肌肉骨骼疼痛患者的压力疼痛阈值(PPT)的影响。根据 Cochrane 手册的建议进行了质量评估和证据综合。使用标准化均值差异和 95% CIs 进行了荟萃分析。结果在前后比较中,局部 PPTs 在滚动后发生了变化,但影响较小:SMD = -0.42 (95 % CI = -0.57 to -0.26);I2 = 1 %。远程 PPT 也在滚动后发生变化,但影响较小:SMD = -0.47 (95 % CI = -0.80 to -0.14);I2 = 0 %。与对照组相比,泡沫滚揉对局部 PPT 没有影响:结论:在健康人群中,泡沫滚动对 PPT 的影响并不一致。
