Kinetic chains (KCs) are primarily affected by the load of different activities that recruit
muscles from different regions. We explored the effects of strengthening exercises on KCs …

Plantar fasciitis is a chronic, self‐limiting, and painful disabling condition affecting the
inferomedial aspect of the heel, usually extending toward the metatarsophalangeal joints …

The mechanisms underlying range of motion enhancements via flexibility training discussed
in the literature show high heterogeneity in research methodology and study findings. In …

Introduction In this case report a new approach called neurofascialvascular training (NFVT)
is described. NFVT consists of two mechanisms which improve mechanosensitivity in carpal …

Introduction Minimalist shoes (MS) are beneficial for foot health. The foot is a part of the
posterior chain. It is suggested that interventions on the plantar foot sole also affect the …

This study aimed to validate the concept of spatial gain sonography for quantifying texture-
related echo intensity in B-mode ultrasound of skeletal muscle. Fifty-one bovine muscles …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of isometric prone trunk extension (IPTE) contraction
intensity on the stiffness of erector spinae (ES), semitendinosus (ST), biceps femoris (BF) …

Static stretching and foam rolling can increase the range of motion (ROM) of a joint acutely
as well as chronically. Although studies have reported ROM increases of a non-stretched …

(1) Background: The isokinetic measurement (IM) of the leg muscles is well established but
costly, whereas the Bunkie Test (BT) is a rarely investigated but easy-to-conduct functional …

Breast cancer treatments can elicit negative kinesiological side effects concerning both the
posture and functional status of breast cancer survivors. As our body is functionally …
