Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND AIM Muscular strength is an important predictor during the games among players that need to be addressed during the rehabilitation process. METHODOLOGY This Cross sectional–analytical study was conducted on a sample of 200 male tennis players. The data was collected using convenient sampling from Tennis players in different clubs of Lahore. Hand held dynamometer was used to measure the strength. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS The current study consists of 200 male tennis players having mean age 21.04 ±3.12 years. The results showed difference between both

Abstract:

Objective: The main goal of this study is to assess the ability to accurately reproduce muscle effort and the ability to internally readjust compensatory mechanisms depending on the objectively existing functional relationship between kinematics and the muscle force field. Methods: Following the cluster analysis made in the theoretical part, experiments were also conducted on the accuracy of reproducing a given muscle effort. For the purpose of the experiments, it turned out to be necessary to construct a specialized strain gauge sensor for measuring the readings in manual dynamometry. Accordi

The core is referred as a muscular box that works as a unit to stabilize the body and the spine. Where the core muscle involves the muscles of hip and trunkand it helps to maintain the stability of the pelvis and spine. When the core muscles function normally, they can maintain the segmental stability, protect the spine and reduce the stress impacting on the intervertebral disc and the lumbar vertebrae. Core stability is very importantfor stabilization and mobilization and also helps for upper and lower extremity function andit provides the balance and local strength to reduce the back injurie

In neuro-rehabilitation, the assessment of post-stroke patients’ motor function of damaged upper extremities (UEs) is essential.

High body mass index is directly related with high mortality rate, cardiovascular diseases, mental issues and difficulty in physical functioning. Normal weight and strength of muscle are indications of good health. Handgrip strength and endurance are the important parameters to assess the upper extremity muscular strength. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study in 400 medical students in Kathmandu Medical College, Bhaktapur (October 2021 to March 2022) with

INTRODUCTION: Post-stroke motor deficits pose a substantial public health challenge, impacting approximately 40 million individuals globally and leading to significant long-term disability. Rehabilitation efforts, both conventional and novel, achieve less than 60% recovery of upper extremity motor function. To date, no study has assessed electromyographic (EMG) recovery in patients with motor deficits due to stroke. METHODS: With IRB approval, patients (> 18 years) admitted for ischemic or hemorrhagic subcortical stroke with isolated motor deficits and no cognitive impairments, were recruit

Abstract:

Vascular injuries of the upper extremity are usually associated with nerve damage. Neuropraxis or neurotmesis can cause atrophy of an entire group of muscles. We describe a unique case of a 24-yearold male with an isolated atrophy of the long head of triceps, resulting from a piercing arm injury in his childhood. Early post-operative examination showed acute radial palsy (due to a hematoma), which resolved over time with what seemed a full return to normal function. The patient engaged in bodybuilding 14 years post-trauma. Only after the patient had gained significant muscle mass did the diffe

Abstract:

To improve or maintain the physical function of bedridden patients, appropriate and effective exercises are required during the patient’s bed rest. Resistance training (RT) is an effective exercise for improving the physical function of bedridden patients, and the improvement of the physical function is caused by mechanical stimuli associated with RT. Currently, the measured mechanical stimuli are external variables which represent the synthetic effect of multiple muscles and body movements. Important features of stimuli experienced by muscles are of crucial importance in explaining muscular s

Background: Baseball pitching is a dynamic movement where the lower extremities generate and sequentially transfer energy to the upper extremities to maximize ball velocity.

Abstract:

Background: Shoulder pain is prominent among sedentary employees who make motions of the upper limbs on a regular basis. Rounded shoulder posture (RSP) and hunched shoulder posture (HSP) are the most common clinical postural misalignments. These causes the spine to bend and raise tension on the nerve roots, which has a negative impact on upper-extremity muscular strength and function. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of RSP and HSP on the mechanical parameters of the upper body muscles in clinically asymptomatic sedentary workers.

Abstract:

A necessarily high standard for physical readiness in tactical environments is often accompanied by high incidences of injury due to overaccumulations of neuromuscular fatigue (NMF). To account for instances of overtraining stimulated by NMF, close monitoring of neuromuscular performance is warranted. Previously validated tests, such as the countermovement jump, are useful means for monitoring performance adaptations, resiliency to fatigue, and risk for injury. Performing such tests on force plates provides an understanding of the movement strategy used to obtain the resulting outcome (e.g., j

Background: Stroke is a neurological disability produced by vascular-related acute focal injury to the central nervous system and is one of the leading causes of disability in adults, and it is frequently accompanied by motor skill loss. Patients suffering from hemiplegia after a stroke are more prone to have fall and are more likely to experience further injury due to irregular gait, diminished muscular strength, and functional impairment. In the affected upper limb of the hemiplegic stroke, spasticity in the shoulder girdle causes scapular malalignment, which reduces the functional mobility

INTRODUCTION: The shoulder joint is the most complex joint in the human body, the most mobile and least stable in relation to other joints. In bowling, using the upper extremity in the throwing motion is one of the most challenging tasks. In order to generate a precise throw, the numerous anatomical components involved in the overhead throwing motion must be coordinated. Shoulder muscular strength is a key component of excellent bowling, and the strength of various shoulder muscle groups influences bowling speed. Therefore, it is essential that bowling players exert strength in their performan
