Background: Prolonged digital device use among college students is increasingly associated with musculoskeletal discomfort, yet comprehensive studies examining ergonomic practices, multitasking behavior, and symptom prevalence…

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder and is especially prevalent among older adults. While most cases are idiopathic, secondary BPPV following otitis media has gained increasing…

Background: Current stroke rehabilitation focuses on motor output parameters (strength, spasticity, motor recovery) without directly assessing neurovascular–neuromuscular coupling (NMC)—the synchronization between neural drive,…

Background: Current stroke rehabilitation treats limbs largely independently, despite mounting evidence that bilateral sensorimotor synchronization—the coordinated temporal and spatial control of bilateral limb…

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) affects 4-35% of runners with substantial recurrence rates ranging from 25-57% following standard care protocols. While individual interventions (load management, gait retraining,…

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) significantly impairs functional capacity and independence in geriatric populations, with increased susceptibility to falls and reduced quality of life. While both neuromuscular re-education…

Objective: The objective of this case study is to examine the effects of a structured Clinical Pilates (CP) intervention on functional mobility, balance, disability, quality of life, and selected biochemical markers in a…

Background: Children with histories of extreme prematurity and congenital hypotonia often present with delayed motor development and gait instability. Positional vestibular dysfunction may be underrecognized in this population,…

The rapid proliferation of smartphone and digital device usage among young and working age adults has created a silent epidemic of technology-driven musculoskeletal disorders (tech MSDs), yet preventive interventions remain underexplored in…

Peripheral nerve Injuries in children, particularly those involving the median nerve and radial artery, represent complex and functionally significant conditions. Damage to these structures can lead to profound deficits in fine motor…

Background: Post-operative recovery after total knee replacement (TKR) remains challenging, with persistent deficits in proprioception, quadriceps weakness, altered gait mechanics, and chronic pain affecting quality of life in up…

Sarcopenia manifests as age-related skeletal muscle loss accompanied by progressive mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired myokine signaling, and epigenetic aging—yet few randomized controlled trials explore physiotherapy's capacity to reverse these…

Aims: Most of the rehabilitation assessments concentrate on a unidimensional approach which focuses on challenging and measuring either the executive function (cognitive) components of the task or on its motor components of…

Background: Stroke is defined as the immediate loss of neurological function caused by an interruption of the blood supply to the brain or because of the bursting of blood vessels in the brain. A major problem that has been…

Moya Moya Disease (MMD) is a rare, chronic, and progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the bilateral, stenotic occlusion of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries and the proximal parts of the anterior and middle…
