Feedback instruction is a proven modality for the alteration of motion patterns. There are no existing data on the contribution of strength training, when combined with feedback instruction, to the altering of lower extremity biomechanics. Thus the purpose of the current study was comparison of strength training  program with external and internal focus of attention strategies on kinetic and fu...

Periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) are a frequent finding in nocturnal registrations that include tibialis anterior electromyographic signals. Different PLMS scoring rules exist and can have major impact on frequency, which tends to be underappreciated. There is no consistent evidence causal risk factor for clinically significant outcomes. Several critical open questions identified need...

OBJECTIVE Study 1 investigated the intraclass reliability and percent variance associated with each component within the traditional Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) protocol. Study 2 investigated the reliability of subsequent modifications of the BESS. DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional examination of the traditional and modified BESS protocols. SETTING Schools participating in Georgia ...

Taekwondo is an unarmed martial art that emphasizes kicks, straight punches, and dynamic leg movements. Currently, taekwondo matches, especially in the kyorugi type, apply automatic judging system through Protector Scoring System (PSS). PSS was first used for international sporting events 2012 at London Olympics to avoid misjudgments due human vision limitations. However, these devices are stil...

Background: Knowledge of the functional balance tests for the patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) may provide useful and accurate information about the balance function of these patients under different situations. Objectives: This study aims to review the functional balance tests for PwMS. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, LILA...

This study assessed the correlation between lumbopelvic control during a single-leg balancing task and in-game pitching performance in Minor-League baseball pitchers. Seventy-five healthy professional baseball pitchers performed a standing lumbopelvic control test during the last week of spring training for the 2008 and 2009 seasons while wearing a custom-designed testing apparatus, the "Level ...

abstract   introduction: balance is one of the most important contexts in ageing. improving balance in middle age can prevent falling down in elderly which impose the financial and mental costs to society. imbalance between dominant and non-dominant leg can lead to some problems. that’s way; studying effects of similar exercise on dominant and non-dominant legs of body can prevent problems caus...
