Background Many previous studies reported that mobility did not recover to the preoperative level even several months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, recent indicate time required for recovery may have been shortened. The correct information regarding improvement is very helpful in assessing a patients' progress rehabilitation. Therefore, we evaluated early TKA.
[Purpose] Although many studies have shown that patients difficulty in climbing or descending stairs after undergoing total knee replacement, no study so far has compared the of stair ascent and descent based on objective indicators. This ascending processes three indicators clarified which was more difficult. [Participants Methods] We defined 1) movement method, 2) necessity for handrail use, 3) speed as Seventy-eight who underwent replacement participated this study. Three months surgery,...
The muscle strength of the knee extension and plantarflexion plays a crucial role in determining gait speed. Recent studies have shown that no-load angular velocity lower limb joints is essential for However, no reports compared extent to which functions, such as strength, velocity, impact speed single study. Therefore, this study aimed examine relative importance maximum on Overall, 164 community-dwelling older adults (72.9 ± 5.0 years) participated We measured function (the...
Abstract Ankle plantar flexors play a vital role in the mobility of older adults. The strength and velocity plantarflexion are critical factors determining walking speed. Despite reports on how age sex affect strength, basic information regarding is still lacking. This cross-sectional observational study investigated age-related changes differences by comparing them with strength. A total 550 healthy adults were classified into four groups for each sex: Young (< 40 years old), Middle-aged...
Objective Quadriceps weakness is considered the primary determinant of gait function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, many patients have shown a gap in improvement trends between and quadriceps strength clinical situations. Factors other than recovery TKA may be essential factors. Because muscle power more influential strength, maximum extension velocity without external load critical parameter with TKA. This study aimed to identify importance determining early by comparing...

Aims] Psychological factors influence athletes' attitudes toward training, which may affect long-term training effectiveness.Individual (Intrinsic Motivation: IM) and team (Collective Efficacy: CE) psychological their interaction on field performance (FP) were examined.[Methods] Eighty-six female athletes completed the Japanese version of Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) translated Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports (J-CEQS).Furthermore, as FP measurements, 20-m sprint time, Edgren...
Aims] This study examined the association between physical activity and depressive symptoms in older adults with insomnia.[Methods] Participants were community-dwelling (aged 59-90 years, n = 324) living Choshi city Chiba prefecture, Japan.They answered a self-report questionnaire.The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used for assessing amount of moderate to vigorous (MVPA) total (total PA) per week.The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) severity symptoms.Regarding insomnia,...
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an effective method for relieving pain and improving gait function. However, THA patients demonstrate slow speed at discharge. Rehabilitation programs after require the immediate improvement of early in postoperative period. To examine effects seated side tapping training (SSTT), which focuses on lateral trunk movement velocity, function patients, methods were as follows: The SSTT group performed five repetitions a task they moved their trunks laterally to...
〔目的〕運動機能向上にはinternal focus（IF）指示よりもexternal focus（EF）指示が効果的である．しかし，対象者の熟練度が低い場合や，継続的な介入においてはIF指示が有効である可能性が考えられている．そこで，未習熟課題への継続的介入におけるIF・EF指示の効果を検証した．〔対象と方法〕健常若年者55名を2群に分け，非利き手での投球課題に対してIF・EF指示を用いた14日間の介入を行った．〔結果〕両群の球速変化に交互作用はなく，時間の主効果が認められた．また，対象者全体の球速に有意な向上が認められた．〔結語〕IF指示はEF指示と同等に効果的であったため，未習熟課題の継続的介入において，EF指示だけでなくIF指示も有効である可能性が考えられる．
Ankle exercises are useful for preventing deep vein thrombosis, as they increase venous blood flow velocity. The cause the increased velocity during ankle may be skeletal-muscle pump, but mechanism is not clearly understood. purpose of this study was to investigate effects dorsiflexion angle and gastrocnemius muscle contraction on in popliteal vein, joint angle, surface electromyographic activity were measured at rest prone position young healthy volunteers. significant observed phase, max...
Aims: It is necessary to measure sedentary time (ST) accurately across numerous domains understand its relationship with health outcomes.This study aimed evaluate the convergent validity of domain-specific ST measured by accelerometer and questionnaire using activPAL as a criterion value.Furthermore, we examined whether measurement differs according gender occupation.Methods: Data 242 workers were used in this study.Participants wore on thigh OMRON (HJA-750C) waist for 7 consecutive days...
