The samples were exposed from four typical point...
BACKGROUND: Spinal decompression therapy (SDT) has recently been used as a conservative treatment for lumbar disc prolapse (LDP). The effectiveness of SDT when compared with other techniques well-designed randomized controlled tri
The aim of the study was to examine relationship between Kinesiophobia and dynamic balance in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).Forty subjects PFPS [20 Low (LK), 20 High (HK)], pain-free (control group) were enrolled study. All performed a Y-balance test measure balance. Normalized reach distance parameters recorded.Our findings indicated that who have greater showed poorer In addition, HK group significantly lower mean score anterior, posterolateral, posteromedial directions...
The present study delves into the realm of collegiate shot-put athletes' throwing techniques, aiming to undertake a comprehensive comparative video analysis various styles. primary objective is visually explore these diverse techniques and shed light on critical performance factors associated with each style. By employing tools this research intends provide detailed examination biomechanical nuances body movements in different methods. Through an extensive collection footage featuring...
Background. Osteoporosis “OP” is classified as one of the most serious health conditions worldwide. OP increases skeletal fracture risk by 35%, particularly at hip, spine, and wrist joints. Healthcare professionals should be aware clinical signs have good knowledge while managing all patients. Objectives. This study aims to investigate current level osteoporosis awareness among physical therapy providers in Saudi Arabia. Methods. One hundred sixty-eight participated this cross-sectional...
