Background: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) in overhead athletes represents a significant concern in volleyball, yet most research focuses solely on range of motion improvements without assessing biomechanical adaptations or sport-specific performance outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of a 12-week TheraBand-based throwing exercise program on glenohumeral rotational kinematics, scapular dyskinesis, and spiking…

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are complex mental health conditions that can significantly impair physical and psychosocial functioning, and University students are considered a high-risk group. Limited studies have explored the prevalence and associated factors of EDs among university students in Malaysia.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of eating disorders and identify associated factors among university…

Background: While gait retraining and neuromuscular strengthening demonstrate individual clinical efficacy in medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) management, the integrated biomechanical mechanisms through which combined intervention modifies lower limb loading parameters and tissue stress remains inadequately characterized in contemporary literature. High-resolution biomechanical quantification integrating three-dimensional motion capture, ground reaction force analysis,…

Background: Chondromalacia patella is a common source of anterior knee pain in athletes, often leading to impaired quadriceps control and delayed return to sport. Conventional rehabilitation typically focuses on single-angle or generalized strengthening, which may not adequately activate muscles throughout the joint’s functional range.

Purpose: This case report introduces the Dynamic Angle-Based Neuromuscular Activation (D.A.N.A.) Protocol, a…

Background: The hamstring-to-quadriceps (H:Q) strength ratio is a critical determinant of knee stability, functional performance, and injury prevention. Optimizing this ratio is essential for reducing injury risk, particularly among athletes and physically active individuals. Isometric training, characterized by pushing and holding exercises, is commonly used to enhance strength. However, the comparative effects of these two methods at different joint angles, particularly…

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is among the most common surgical procedures performed in sports medicine to restore knee stability and functional performance after ligament rupture [1, 2]. The hamstring tendon autograft is widely used because it provides strong fixation, fewer anterior knee complications, and good long-term outcomes compared with patellar tendon grafts [3, 4]. However, the harvest of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons creates donor site deficits that…
