Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8277: Bridging Health Sciences and Engineering Through the Interdisciplinary Development of a Proof-of-Concept Wireless Telerehabilitation Prototype: A Preliminary Laboratory and Usability Study
3+ week, 3+ day ago (456+ words) Background: Wearable sensing and local wireless communication architectures offer significant potential for accessible rehabilitation technologies. The objective of this exploratory study was to design, implement, and describe an interdisciplinary, wireless inertial sensing platform—the Virtual Therapist Platform (VTP)—for real-time…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8292: New Insights into Physical Therapy: Advancing Rehabilitation Through Innovation, Technology, and Evidence-Based Practice
3+ week, 2+ day ago (15+ words) The evolution of physical therapy over the years reflects the entire transformation of healthcare itself [...]...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8655: Effects of a Passive Back-Support Exoskeleton on Muscle Activity and Perceived Discomfort Across Lifting and Lowering Tasks of Varying Heights and Weights
1+ week, 5+ day ago (435+ words) Manual material handling tasks are a major source of physical workload and work-related musculoskeletal disorders in industrial environments. This study evaluated the effects of a passive back-support exoskeleton (BSE) on muscle activity and perceived discomfort during lifting and lowering tasks…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8483: Biomechanical Responses to a Six-Week Sport-Specific Physiotherapy Programme in Elite Male Flatwater Kayakers: A Prospective Controlled Cohort Study
2+ week, 3+ day ago (422+ words) Background: Biomechanical evidence concerning sport-specific physiotherapy in elite kayaking remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate joint range of motion (ROM), muscle activation, and bilateral footrest force before and after a six-week physiotherapy programme. Methods: Twenty-two elite male kayakers…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8100: Relationship Between Total Clinical Practice Hours During Undergraduate Education and the Clinical Competence of Novice Physical Therapists: An Exploratory, Cross-Sectional, Single-Center Pilot Study
4+ week, 1+ day ago (438+ words) The clinical skills of physical therapists (PTs) are crucial, as high-quality clinical competence leads to trustworthy patient care, reliable assessments, and effective therapeutic choice. Clinical practice hours (CP hours) may be used to validate theoretical knowledge acquired during training, especially…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8209: FIBROSTEPS: Study Protocol for a 2 × 2 Factorial Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Group Exercise and Somatic Tracking in Fibromyalgia
3+ week, 4+ day ago (518+ words) Fibromyalgia (FM) causes widespread pain, poor sleep, fatigue, and reduced quality of life. Exercise is the best supported non-pharmacological treatment, yet many patients report that it is insufficient on its own. Somatic tracking is a component of pain reprocessing therapy....
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8120: Effects of Cognitive Demands on ACL Injury-Related Knee Kinematics: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
4+ week, 1+ day ago (469+ words) Interest in the relationship between cognitive demands and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has increased, particularly during change-of-direction and jump-landing tasks. This study examined how different cognitive demands influence ACL-related biomechanical variables at initial ground contact. A systematic review with…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8133: Laser-Induced Regulation of Pro-Inflammatory Mediators in Human Tendon and Bursa-Derived Cells In Vitro: A Preliminary Report
4+ week, 22+ hour ago (426+ words) Background/Objectives: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has shown promising clinical results for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, yet many of the cellular mechanisms underlying its anti-inflammatory effects remain incompletely understood in the context of tenocytes and bursa-derived cells. This study evaluated…...
