For instance, low-level gymnastic participation at an early age can benefit bone health and balance exercised in rhythmic gymnastics has been shown to improve posture control. However, the age and musculoskeletal development of an athlete should be considered when choosing training schedules and specific movements, a recent study showed. Injuries can occur with young rhythmic gymnasts due to the overloading on foot joints from repetitive movements on tiptoes. Gymnasts as young as 4 years old can specialize within rhythmic gymnastics and thus can experience such injuries while practicing their sport. A research team in Poland evaluated the muscle engagement around the ankle and knee joints during balance exercises of rhythmic gymnastics to assess and explore the cause of these injuries.

Many people suffer from neck pain and muscular strain and those who have worn high heels know they can be uncomfortable- but are these linked? A polish research group looked into if high heels have a measurable negative impact on the body during walking.

One assessment of functional mobility is the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test which consists of a patient starting from the sitting position, standing up, walking in a straight line for three meters, then making a 180° turn to walk and return to the chair to the sitting position. It has been found that instrumented TUG tests are more accurate. The G-WALK system from BTS Bioengineering utilizes such a device, implementing a light-weight sensor and straight-forward software with built-in functional protocols relating to mobility. Read More… One year of GAITLAB from Orthesys The progress of our GAITLAB is similar to a child learning to walk. It is amazing to see their progress, their curiosity, the first conquests, the fears and uncertainty, day after day. We observe this in our GAITLAB with Multifactorial Instrumental Motion Analysis in the field of Orthotics and Prosthetics thanks to highly technological systems. Read More… Clamshell exercises for lower back pain Lower back pain is very common leading to serious effects on individuals worldwide. It is often attributed to uncontrolled movement of the lumbopelvic region which causes strain on the surrounding muscles. From past study, it has been shown that lower back pain can be ameliorated through specific exercises with feedback and instruction. There are multiple types of feedback which have demonstrated effectiveness, but it is still not clear which type of feedback is best during movement of limbs. Read More… Muscle activation during upper-limb exoskeleton use A group of researchers from the Institute of Industrial Technologies and Automation in Milan, Italy are studying the way upper limbs interact with exoskeletons intended for rehabilitation. Neurorehabilitation of the upper limbs is often implemented for patients with loss of motor function. Exoskeletons can be used for weight support during the training of upper limbs, allowing for a patient to engage with the movement at varying levels as needed and with semi-independence. Read More… Axis-dependent instability of post-stroke patients Survivors of strokes often suffer from instability and sway in posture. This is also common in elderly people due to neurological degeneration. Researchers from the University of Tokyo on Japan assessed the instability of post-stroke patients to further monitor and understand the postural control system. The study included subjects with hemiparesis due to stroke as well as elderly and young healthy subjects for comparison between age and pathology Read More… Art Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease A collaboration between The Fresco Institute at NYU Langone and NYU Steinhardt has lead to a research study exploring an Art Therapy Program for patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Many of these patients face debilitating complications from the disease such as motor dysfunctions, slower walking speeds, tremors and rigidity of the body. The study focuses on visuospatial dysfunction- complications of the perception in the eyes and brain which affect movement of the body and can lead to falling and poor fine motor skills. Read More… Powered exoskeleton gait training Powered exoskeleton technology paired with the FREEEMG has allowed non-ambulatory stroke patients to walk over the ground. In a study last year from the Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Center in Italy, researchers focused on hemiparesis and difficulty with coordination for upper and lower joints in stroke patients. Hemiparesis is weakness in one side of the body which affects walking ability and often the daily function and ability of a patient Read More… Virtual reality rehabilitation for stroke patients The standard of care for stroke patients includes cognitive rehabilitation of either conventional manner with paper and pencil tasks or alternative methods using computers and technology. The rehabilitation focuses on the patient’s affected cognitive function such as visual processing and problem-solving. Alternative approaches have become increasingly popular… Read More… Walking on a treadmill compared to walking over the ground Many people use the treadmill to get for exercise and rehabilitation. Treadmills are a widely used tool for both athletes and patients- and for good reason. But does getting on a treadmill alter the way people walk? How does this vary between men and women?

His research focuses on the understanding of how the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are integrated and work together such that manipulation of one system has consequences for… Read More… New links between foot posture changes from dynamic stability exercises and gait patterns in long-distance runners A recent study from the University of Physical Education in Krakow, Poland has allowed researchers to observe the effects of dynamic stability exercises in the foot posture and gait patterns of amateur long-distance runners. Incorrect foot posture has been identified as a risk factor for injury in the field, which is especially a concern for… Read More… Relief for those suffering from lower back pain and functional constipation? New study in plans to assess the effectiveness of osteopathic visceral manipulation treatments From a rehabilitation sciences lab in Brazil comes plans to observe and analyze alternative treatment methods for non-specific lower back pain and functional constipation. Such conditions of chronic pain lead to disability, incapacity and are a severe burden on many individuals. Read More… Considerations for Pediatric Patients in Motion Analysis The potential of motion analysis in pediatric care is vast and expanding. However, application of motion analysis and rehabilitation technology on pediatric patients not as simple as one may think. The use of motion capture systems, force plates, and wireless electromyography (EMG) devices must be adapted for children of all abilities.
