This study looked at whether adding a computer-based balance training game to standard physical therapy helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 36 participants were split into two groups: one got standard rehab alone, the other got standard rehab plus the balance tra…

This study tested if prolotherapy (sugar water injections) can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low back pain from worn-out spine joints. Sixty adults aged 40-70 received either sugar water, steroid, or salt water injections. Researchers measured pain and d…

This study looked at whether injecting a 15% dextrose (sugar water) solution into the shoulder can reduce pain and improve movement in people who had a stroke. Forty participants aged 40 to 75 with hemiplegic shoulder pain were included. The main goal was to measure changes in pa…

This study looked at how the nervous system and emotions affect pain in women with lipedema, a condition causing painful fat buildup in the legs. Researchers compared 60 women with lipedema to healthy controls, measuring pain sensitivity, anxiety, depression, and thoughts about p…

This study looked at 140 women to compare metabolic risk markers between those with lipedema and those with obesity. Researchers used existing blood test results to calculate scores for insulin resistance and heart disease risk. The goal was to better understand how these conditi…

This study looked at how standing still and gentle whole-body vibration change a specific spinal reflex called the H-reflex in healthy adults. Ten volunteers had their calf muscle responses measured while standing or being vibrated. The goal was to better understand how the nervo…

This study examined muscle loss (sarcopenia) in 37 adults aged 50-75 who were scheduled for knee replacement surgery. Researchers measured calf size, grip strength, and overall muscle mass before and after the procedure to see how the surgery impacted muscle health. The goal was …

This study looked at how different standing positions and whole-body vibration affect spinal reflexes in healthy adults. Fifteen participants stood in various postures with and without vibration while researchers measured electrical signals from their leg muscles. The goal was to…

This study looked at whether measuring ankle and toe muscle strength in a lying-down position gives different results than measuring it while standing. Thirty-three healthy adults had their muscle strength tested in both positions. The goal is to help doctors and therapists know …

This study looked at 128 women with chronic low back pain to see if the position of the uterus (tilted forward or backward) is linked to how much pain they feel and how their body processes pain. Researchers measured pain sensitivity and used questionnaires to assess pain severit…

This study looked back at medical records of 172 people with lymphedema to compare two treatments: a device called LymphaTouch and manual lymphatic drainage (a type of massage). The goal was to see which one reduced arm or leg swelling more. Researchers measured limb size before …

This study looked at how the skin on the heel influences the strength of calf muscles in 29 healthy adults. Researchers measured muscle force while stimulating the heel to understand its role in movement and muscle control. The findings may help future treatments for walking prob…

This study tested whether problems with brain cells that control movement cause fatigue in fibromyalgia. Researchers compared nerve signals in 37 women with and without fibromyalgia during a foot exercise, including when they were cheered on. The goal was to see if differences in…

This study used ultrasound to compare how the median nerve changes shape in different wrist positions (neutral, bent, straightened, and tilted) between 36 women with generalized joint hypermobility and healthy controls. The goal was to understand if hypermobile joints cause the n…

This study looked at how whole-body vibration (standing on a vibrating platform) activates muscles automatically. Researchers tested 40 healthy adults aged 20-40 using different body positions and vibration frequencies. Muscle activity was recorded with stickers on the skin. The …

This study looked at how the tibialis anterior muscle (the muscle in the front of the shin) changes after a stroke. Using ultrasound, researchers measured muscle thickness, fiber angle, and length in 36 people who had a stroke. They compared the affected leg to the unaffected leg…
