This study measured hip strength and flexibility in 56 amateur soccer players to understand how different hip positions affect muscle function. Researchers collected measurements during two soccer seasons to gather information that could help with injury prevention and performanc…

This study tested whether a mobile app called 'esTOCma' could help teachers better understand obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 175 teachers were asked to either use the app for 10 days or do nothing. Researchers wanted to see if the app improved teachers' knowledge about OCD,…

This study aimed to understand if pain in the jaw joint (TMJ) is linked to pelvic pain in adults. Researchers wanted to see if shared factors like stress, anxiety, or how the nervous system processes pain might explain why some people have both conditions. 133 adults with chronic…

This study tested if working directly with older adults in the community helps physiotherapy students learn better than traditional classroom methods. Researchers split 83 students into two groups: one group designed and ran real health programs for seniors, while the other group…
