INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the acute effect of scapular mobilization with associated myofascial release compared to scapular mobilization without myofascial release on butterfly stroke sports performance. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. METHOD: Pilot study that non-probabilistically convenience sampling that selected butterfly swimmers who were simply randomized into three groups to receive the standard protocol (scapular mobilization with release of the subscapularis muscle by the lateral edge of the scapula and rib cage detachment) in intervention group (IG), sham group (SG) (scapular mobilization without subscapularis muscle release and without rib cage detachment) or no intervention in control group (CG)...

INTRODUCTION: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is prevalent in physically active people. The multifactorial nature of PFPS necessitates multimodal treatment for this condition. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of lumbopelvic manipulation alone versus manipulation plus dry needling in physically active patients with PFPS. METHOD: Thirty patients (18 women and 12 men) with a diagnosis of PFPS entered this randomized controlled clinical trial and were divided into two groups: lumbopelvic manipulation alone or lumbopelvic manipulation plus dry needling...

BACKGROUND: High blood pressure (BP) is a non-communicable disease that is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. High BP can be managed by both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Non-pharmacological treatment, such as slow-breathing training (SBT), has been shown to reduce BP. However, there are few studies on the effect of SBT on both cardiac activation and oxidative stress in people with high BP. OBJECTIVES: To explore the effect of SBT on cardiac autonomic function (i...

INTRODUCTION: Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) occurs in 4% of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Anti-inflammatory medications may target arthrofibrosis pathogenesis, but the data are limited. This multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) investigated the effect of adjuvant anti-inflammatory medications with MUA and physical therapy (PT) on range of motion (ROM) and outcomes. METHODS: There were 124 patients (124 TKAs) who developed stiffness after primary TKA for osteoarthritis enrolled across 15 institutions...

CONTEXT: Osteopathic treatments regulate the neurovegetative system through joint mobilizations and manipulations, and myofascial and craniosacral techniques. Despite the growing body of research, the precise impact of osteopathic medicine on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is not yet fully elucidated. As to Kuchera's techniques, the stimulation of the sympathetic trunk and prevertebral ganglia contributed to harmonization of the sympathetic activity. However, potential relationships between the harmonization of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis largely remain uncertain and warrant further exploration...

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is considered a safe and promising tool for limb rehabilitation after stroke, but its effect on cough has never been studied. It is known that the ear and larynx share vagal afferent pathways, suggesting that stimulating the ear with taVNS might have effects on cough sensitivity. The specific stimulation parameters used can influence outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of various stimulation parameters on change in cough sensitivity, compared to the reference parameter of 25 Hz stimulation at the left concha (most commonly-used parameter for stroke rehabilitation)...

The majority of women experience dysmenorrhea during their lifetime. The current standard-of-care treatment consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptive pills, or intrauterine devices. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a beneficial tool for improving non-musculoskeletal (non-MSK) conditions such as migraines, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and anxiety. OMT should be utilized to improve other non-MSK conditions, such as dysmenorrhea. The current review aims to evaluate the effects of OMT in women with dysmenorrhea...

Chronic primary low back pain (CPLBP) refers to low back pain that persists over three months, that cannot be explained by another chronic condition, and that is associated with emotional distress and disability. Previous studies have shown that spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is effective to relieve CPLBP, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This randomized placebo-controlled dual-blind mixed experimental trial (NCT05162924) aimed to investigate the efficacy of SMT to improve CPLBP and its underlying mechanisms...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Over the years, there is a rapid increase in the prevalence of inadequate sleep and its detrimental consequences. Yet, the impact of prolonged nutritional interventions on sleep optimization remains unexplored. To examine the effect of carbohydrate manipulation combined with exercise training on sleep macro-structure. METHODS: Forty-two healthy, trained male volunteers were recruited for this study. The 4-week intervention consisted of three groups: i) Sleep Low-No Carbohydrates (SL-NCHO): participants consumed all their carbohydrate intake at regular intervals prior to evening training, ii) Sleep High-Low Glycemic Index (SH-LGI) and iii) Sleep High-High Glycemic Index (SH-HGI): Carbohydrate intake was spread throughout the day, both prior (60% of total CHO intake) and after evening training (40% of total CHO intake)...

Postoperative complications due to inaccurate prosthesis positioning are the main causes of early revision. The aim of this study was to (1) determine whether novel designed whole-process robotic assisted hip system allowed better radiographic outcomes and lower complications risk on the femoral side particularly stem subsidence compared to conventional THA, and to (2) identify the comparison of early clinical outcomes. 72 patients were initially enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups. Finally, only 65 patients (31 RA-THAs, 34 C-THAs) were analyzed who had full 18-month follow-up data...

CONTEXT: Forward shoulder posture (FSP) is a risk factor for shoulder pathology. Manual therapists often use myofascial release (MFR) to elongate restricted pectoral fascia to reduce FSP and improve shoulder function; however, the effects of this treatment approach remain anecdotal. OBJECTIVE: Determine the acute effects of 4-min of MFR, compared to a soft-touch control (CON), to the pectoral fascia on: 1) FSP, 2) shoulder horizontal abduction ROM (HA-ROM), and 3) muscle excitation of the trapezius (upper, middle, lower [UT, MT, LT]) and pectoralis major (PEC)...

The deleterious effects of mental fatigue (MF) on athletes have been carefully studied in various sports, such as soccer, badminton, and swimming. Even though many researchers have sought ways to ameliorate the negative impact of MF, there is still a lack of studies that review the interventions used to counteract MF among athletes. This review aims to report the current evidence exploring the effects of interventions on MF and sport-specific performance, including sport-specific motor performance and perceptual-cognitive skills...
