This study tested whether combining breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) with a core-stability maneuver (abdominal drawing-in) improves balance, walking, and lung function in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months earlier. Twenty participants were assigned to either t…

This study tested whether a single session of radial shock wave therapy combined with either stretching or isometric contraction could immediately reduce muscle tightness and stiffness in the upper neck. Thirty healthy adults with no recent neck pain participated. Researchers mea…

This study looked at whether adding robot-assisted walking training to stationary cycling helps people who recently had a stroke and are losing muscle. 53 participants did either cycling alone or cycling plus robot walking for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination impro…

This study tested whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) cuffs to cognitive-motor dual task training helps people recovering from a stroke. Twenty-eight subacute stroke patients did either BFR plus dual task training or dual task training alone for 5 weeks. The goal was to s…

This study looked at 130 healthy older adults living in the community to see how their thinking skills (like memory and attention) relate to their physical abilities (like muscle strength and balance) and pain levels. Researchers measured things like grip strength, walking speed,…

This study created and tested a video-based tool to evaluate how well stroke survivors can stand up from a chair. Ten chronic stroke patients were recorded, and 28 physical therapists scored the videos remotely. The goal was to see if the tool gives consistent and accurate result…

This study looked at how people with forward head posture (FHP) compare to those with normal head posture when doing tasks that require both thinking and balancing. 38 healthy adults aged 20-39 performed cognitive-balance tasks of varying difficulty while their brain activity and…
