Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the foot muscle strength, shortness, tibialis posterior endurance, balance, and shoe preference differences between neutral pronated posture.
 Methods: Forty-nine participants consisting 23 women 26 men, age 18 45 years were participated in study. Foot posture, medial longitudinal arch height, gastrocnemius hamstring ankle 
 static p...

BACKGROUND Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) refers to an abnormal connection between the radius and ulna due to embryological failure of separation. Derotational osteotomy has been advocated for children with functional limitations, although historically this procedure has been associated with a 36% complication rate including compartment syndrome and loss of correction. METHODS A retr...

UNLABELLED Pronation might favorably affect respiratory system (rs) mechanics and function in volume-controlled, mode-ventilated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We studied 10 COPD patients, initially positioned supine (baseline supine [supine(BAS)]) and then randomly and consecutively changed to protocol supine (supine(PROT)), semirecumbent, and prone positions. Rs mechan...

27 This study investigated whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) delivered as 28 continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to left M1 degraded selective muscle activation in the 29 contralateral and ipsilateral upper limb in healthy participants. Contralateral motor evoked 30 potentials (cMEPs) were elicited in left and right biceps brachii (BB) before either elbow flexion ...

Proximal upper limb muscles are represented bilaterally in primary motor cortex. Goal-directed upper limb movement requires precise control of proximal and distal agonist and antagonist muscles. Failure to suppress antagonist muscles can lead to abnormal movement patterns, such as those commonly experienced in the proximal upper limb after stroke. We examined whether noninvasive brain stimulati...

This study investigated whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) delivered as continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to left M1 degraded selective muscle activation in the contralateral and ipsilateral upper limb in healthy participants. Contralateral motor-evoked potentials (cMEPs) were elicited in left and right biceps brachii (BB) before either elbow flexion or forearm p...

     Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of specialized Kyokushin Karate exercises on the activity of leg muscles and the height of the medial longitudinal arch in adolescent girls with foot pronation.    Methods: This study recruited twenty-four adolescent girls with foot pronation who voluntarily agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to either a train...
