This study tested whether adding robot-assisted walking training to stationary cycling helps stroke survivors with muscle loss (sarcopenia). 53 people in the subacute phase of stroke participated for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination improved muscle quality, fall co…

This study tested whether combining special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) with a core-strengthening maneuver (abdominal drawing-in) helps people recovering from a stroke improve their balance, walking, and breathing. Twenty subacute stroke patients (1-6 months…

This study looked at how forward head posture (FHP) affects brain activity and balance during tasks that require thinking and moving at the same time. Researchers measured brain oxygen levels and balance in 38 healthy adults with either FHP or normal head posture. The goal was to…

This study looked at 130 healthy older adults living in the community to understand how their thinking skills (like memory and attention) relate to their physical abilities (like muscle strength and balance) and pain levels. Researchers measured cognitive function, muscle mass, g…

This study created a video-based tool to evaluate how well stroke survivors can stand up from a chair. Ten chronic stroke patients were recorded, and physical therapists used the tool to score their movement. The goal was to see if the tool is reliable and accurate enough for rem…
