Twenty healthy subjects (171.3 ± 8.2 cm, 73.2 ± 11.4 kg, 25.7 ± 2.0 years) were randomly divided to inspiratory training group(TG) and control group(CG). The TG completed 30 IMT per day, 5 times per week for 6 weeks. Maximal inspiratory muscle strengh was measured by a sensor embedded breathing function analyzer. Dynamic balance was measured with Y balance test (YBT). The UQ dynamic balance of the TG was significantly improved after the intervention period (p<.05). The UQ dynamic balance increased by 81.80±10.09 to 95.36±8.91 after 6 weeks (p<.001) in TG. No significant improvement were shown for the LQ dynamic balance and inspiratory muscle strength(p>.05). IMT is quick and convenient way to improve breathing function, which is might improve the upper quarter stability.

Twenty-one active men (20.14±0.48 years) were participated in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to 3 groups [stable surface group (SSG, n=7), unstable surface group (USG, n-=7), and control group (CG, n=7)]. SSG and USG received same balance training on the different surface. Training groups performed balance training 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Using center of pressure (COP) path measurement equipment, area, length, and velocity of COP path were measured during single-leg standing with eyes open; duration of single-leg standing with eyes closed were measured. There was significant improvement of the duration of single-leg standing with eyes closed between pre and post tests in the SSG(p<0.05); but there were no significant differences between groups. Balance training on stable surface had positive effects on the static balance with eyes closed. These findings indicate that intrinsic conditions in balance training should be considered rather than extrinsic conditions.

Because neuropathy is closely related to central nervous system modification, it is important to understand the mechanism of spinal reflex activity in the DPN population. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the reliability of PI in patients with DPN. Eight participants (58.24 ± 6.38 yrs.) diagnosed with either type I or type II diabetes and peripheral neuropathy were recruited for the study. Each subject's H-reflex was measured using an EMG to elicit and record a series of 10 paired reflex depression trials. Reliability was measured by calculating Intra Class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) with a 95% confidence interval. The results showed excellent reliability in both intraday (0.94) and interday (0.88) reliability. Therefore...

The present study examined the effect of four weeks of WBV training on muscle function outcome variables [rate of force development (RFD), electromechanical delay (EMD)], and spinal control mechanisms (pre-synaptic inhibition). Forty young individuals with no history of lower leg injuries were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received WBV training (three bouts of two minutes, three times a week) for four weeks. During each of the training sessions, the subjects stood on the vibration platform with the knees slightly flexed. The control group performed periods of standing in the same position as the experimental subjects. After four weeks of WBV training, the experimental (WBV) group demonstrated a significant improvement in electromechanical delay (EMD). The results also showed a significant group × test interaction for RFD and intrinsic pre-synaptic inhibition (IPI) over the course of the study. Enhanced neuromuscular activation (EMD and RFD) and increased spinal reflex gain followed by 4 weeks of WBV training indicate that WBV training might be used not only for athletes engaged in sports that require explosive type of muscular activation, but also for the elderly individual who need to exert a rapid rise in muscle force in injury related situations.

Many obese women have regarded pregnancy as the onset of extreme weight gain, thus efforts to identify the relationship between pregnancy and obesity have been made. Objective: The purpose of this paper was to examine the relationship between gestational weight gain and maternal obesity, as well as offspring birthweight and subsequent obesity. Method: An online search was performed through Pubmed and Academic Search Premiere for relevant articles. Retrieved articles were assessed based on their relevance to the paper. Results: This review of the literature determined that the larger the gestational weight gain, the higher the risk for obesity in the mother and child. This is especially true with reference to the gestational weight gain guidelines, and is mostly consistent regardless of limitations in the research. With improvement in many methodological areas, future research can identify the relationship and mechanism explaining the relationship between gestational weight gain to obesity. Conclusion: These results have a large clinical implication, where more emphasis on education of gestational weight gain guidelines, and exercise and nutritional considerations should be implemented to improve in this area of public health. Gestational weight gain is a potential risk factor for maternal and child obesity and should be examined further due to its long term relevance to obesity.

However, there is a little consensus among prospective studies with regard to the correlation between isokinetic hamstring to quadriceps strength ratio (HQR) and the non-contact knee injury rates. Most of athletic movements at risk are closed kinetic chain movements, and compensatory effect among ankle, knee, and hip joints during the closed kinetic chain movement was observed in the previous literatures. Therefore, it is assumed that hamstrings and quadriceps (H:Q) imbalance can cause non-contact lower extremity injuries without necessarily causing knee injuries. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the relationship between H:Q strength imbalance and overall non-contact lower extremity injuries. A prospective cohort study was conducted on NCAA division III basketball and soccer players during one season. A total of eighty two NCAA

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) cost the United States billions of dollars annually. Many traditional therapeutic interventions, like manual therapy. electrical stimulation and hot and cold packs, are being utilized to treat WMSD however there is minimal evidence supporting the use of these interventions to treat WMSD. Therefore, ergonomic interventions (EI) has been proposed as a conservative, non-invasive, and costeffective intervention to treat WMSD as it functions to correct the cause of repetitive micro-traumas due to one’s occupation by adjusting posture, workstations design, and product selection. Aim: The aim of this paper is to (a) briefly overview the theories of WMSD and EI (b) analyze the efficacy of traditional therapeutic interventions (c) establish the practical applications of EI (d) ...

While scapular internal rotation has been listed among the forms of scapular dyskinesis there has not been a reliable test documented in the literature that examines this motion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an innovative scapular medial border posterior displacement measurement device has adequate inter-rater and intra-rater reliability when used at rest and during the sitting hand press up test. METHODS 16 male Division III baseball players free of upper limb injury for the previous 12 months participated in the study. Posterior scapular displacement measures were taken on each subject in a resting static posture and while performing a sitting hand press up test. Subjects were tested...

The gait spatiotemporal parameters were obtained by a motion capture system from the seventeen subjects. All subjects were instructed to walk at a regular pace, and spatiotemporal gait parameters of ten strides in the middle of the walkway were measured. As a result, it has been shown that the height angle of MLA is significantly correlated with gait temporal parameters while the LLA is significantly related to gait spatial parameters.

A 71-year-old male had chronic diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain in his both feet for about 5 years. He tried he tried multiple pain medications and various interventional pain treatment without significant pain relief. After 8 weeks of whole body vibration treatment the patient’s pain level, balance, and gait patterns significantly improved. These findings illustrate the importance of considering whole body vibration as a complimentary treatment in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.

Ten young male sprinters performed 100-m sprints following both a high-intensity warm-up (HIW) and a low-intensity warm-up (LIW). Both the HIW and LIW were included in common baseline warm-ups and interventional warm-ups (eight 60-m runs, HIW; 60 to 95%, LIW; 40% alone). Blood lactate concentration [La−], time trial, and oxygen uptake (VO2) were measured. The different energy system contribution was calculated by using physiological variables. [La−1]Max following HIW was significantly higher than in LIW (11.86 ± 2.52 vs. 9.24 ± 1.61 mmol·L−1; p < 0.01, respectively). The 100-m sprint time trial was not significantly different between HIW and LIW (11.83 ± 0.57 vs. 12.10 ± 0.63 s; p > 0.05, respectively). The relative (%) phosphagen system contribution was higher in the HIW compared to the LIW (70 vs. 61%; p < 0.01, respectively). These results indica...
