The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rectus abdominis (RA) fatigue on the jumping performance and landing loads of volleyball players during countermovement jumps (CMJs) and spike jumps (SPJs). Twelve healthy university volleyball players were evaluated using a three-dimensional motion analysis system, force plates, and surface electromyography (EMG). The lowest center of mass (Min-CoM), maximum jumping height (Max-JH), angles of joints at take-off and landing, joint moment of the lower limbs, and EMG parameters of the RA, erector spinae, and lower limb muscles, when performing the CMJs and SPJs, were recorded before and after a 10 min RA muscle fatigue intervention. After RA fatigue, the Max-JH was significantly reduced, and the lowest Min-CoM was significantly increased. The take-off angles changed significantly at the ankle (SPJ), knee (CMJ), and hip (SPJ), and the plantar flexion torque changed significantly at the SPJ touchdown. The contribution ratio of the feet during SPJs and CMJs changed after fatigue. Temporary RA fatigue decreases the jump height of athletes and causes a change in the landing strategy.

The past decade has seen the emergence of numerous new wearable devices, including many that have been widely adopted by both physicians and consumers. In this paper, we discuss the design and application of smart insoles to measure gait and plantar pressure. Herein, we investigate the potential applications of insoles with fewer sensing spots and the consequent reduction in the amount of data acquired from both feet. The main purpose is to discuss the influence of the layout of these pressure sensing points of the insole design on the center of pressure (COP) calculation. The insole used in this study has 89 pressure sensing spots, and we used data from 36, 29, 20, and 11 sensing points in simplified calculation types. Among these four simplified calculation types, Type 1 exhibited the best accuracy of the COP calculation, and Type 4 obtained the worst results. Type 2 and Type 3 exhibited inferior accuracy of the COP calculation, but they still sufficed for applications that did not require high accuracy. Aside from the factor of the number of sensing spots used in the calculation, we also demonstrated that the location of selected sensors could influence the accuracy of COP calculation in the analyses by using the different combinations of metatarsal areas and other areas (heel, central, lateral toes, and hallux). The results of this research could be a reference for making a simplified form of pressure sensing Internet-of-Health Things (IoHT) insole with a reduced product cost.

To assess the effects of virtual reality on patients with musculoskeletal disorders by means of a scoping review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The databases included PubMed, IEEE, and the MEDLINE database. Articles involving RCTs with higher than five points on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale were reviewed for suitability and inclusion. The methodological quality of the included RCT was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The three reviewers extracted relevant information from the included studies. Fourteen RCT articles were included. When compared with simple usual care or other forms of treatment, there was significant pain relief, increased functional capacity, reduced symptoms of the disorder, and increased joint angles for the virtual reality treatment of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Furthermore, burn patients with acute pain were able to experience a significant therapeutic effect on pain relief. However, virtual reality treatment of patients with non-chronic pain such as total knee replacement, ankle sprains, as well as those who went through very short virtual reality treatments, did not show a significant difference in parameters, as compared with simple usual care and other forms of treatment. Current evidence supports VR treatment as having a significant effect on pain relief, increased joint mobility, or motor function of patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. VR seems quite effective in relieving the pain of patients with acute burns as well.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a commonly used clinical examination to evaluate the risk of prostate cancer, with the antibodies used normally as the recognition molecules for measuring PSA levels in serum. Alternatively, aptamers that are able to bind target molecules with high affinity and specificity similar to antibodies could be generated much easier and cheaper than the production of antibodies. In this study, we used computaional and experimental approaches to select truncated PSA-binding aptamers generated from the sequence information of PSA-binding aptamers previously reported in a literature. Genetic algorithm, the analysis of secondary structure, and molecular simulation were utilized in the in silico analysis. The top 4 ranked sequecnes in silico analysis were evaluated through their PSA-binding ability on the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor. Finally, We identified a truncated aptamer obtained from the selection showing a nearly 3.5-fold higher measured signal than the response produced by the best known DNA sequence in the QCM measurement.

The Kinect device is being increasingly used in conjunction with rehabilitative actions. However, the use of Kinect as a skeletal tracking system requires several further modifications and technological breakthroughs. This study used inertial measurement units (IMUs) to complement skeletal tracking with the Kinect. The IMUs were used to compensate for errors in calculating shoulder and elbow joint angles detected by the Kinect device while the patients performed rehabilitation movements. Thirty normal participants were recruited, and their shoulder and elbow joint angles were recorded and calculated using the Kinect and IMUs while they moved during movement games. If movement with a larger measuring error was detected, the measurement was directed to the IMU to calculate the angle and calibrate the angles measured by the Kinect device. The mean percent errors of the Kinect measurements with respect to the IMU measurement at the shoulder joint during shoulder flexion and rotation at 90° of shoulder flexion were 15.08 ± 4.13 and 26.00 ± 7.41%, respectively. The mean percent errors of the Kinect measurements with respect to the IMU measurements at the elbow joint during shoulder flexion, shoulder rotation at 90° of shoulder abduction, and shoulder rotation at 90° of shoulder flexion were 12.92 ± 2.43, 17.75 ± 4.91, and 23.3 ± 7.01%, respectively. The mean percent errors for the participants’ shoulders in Game 2 and Game 3 were 15.47 ± 4.88 and 28.13 ± 8.51%, respectively, and the mean percent errors of the participants’ elbows in Game 3 were 55.62 ± 13.74%. The proposed method to calibrate the angles detected using the Kinect have a greater mean accuracy rate (84.58%) and a higher processing rate (10 ms/frame) than traditional methods that use only Kinect or IMUs. The proposed system increases the accuracy of movement detected by the Kinect device, and this increases the processing rate of the IMUs, thereby improving clinical practicality.

Herein, we report a method of combining bioinformatics and biosensing technologies to select aptamers against prostate specific antigen (PSA). The main objective of this study is to select DNA aptamers with higher binding affinity for PSA by using the proposed method. Based on the five known sequences of PSA-binding aptamers, we adopted the functions of reproduction and crossover in the genetic algorithm to produce next-generation sequences for the computational and experimental analysis. RNAfold web server was utilized to analyze the secondary structures, and the 3-dimensional molecular models of aptamer sequences were generated by using RNAComposer web server. ZRANK scoring function was used to rerank the docking predictions from ZDOCK. The biosensors, the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument, were used to verify the binding ability of selected aptamer for PSA. By carrying out the simulations and experiments after two generations, we obtain one aptamer that can have the highest binding affinity with PSA, which generates almost 2-fold and 3-fold greater measured signals than the responses produced by the best known DNA sequence in the QCM and SPR experiments, respectively.

It has become an increasingly important issue with respect to improve the efficacy of rehabilitation and increase patient willingness to attend rehabilitation treatment in recent years. Virtual Reality (VR) has been used in combination with medical treatment and technology. More specifically, its skeletal tracking system is being widely used in the field of medicine and rehabilitation. Although the Microsoft Kinect device with low cost and easy development it may encounter the problem of misdetection when it comes to extremity angles or overlapping extremity. In this study, we proposed a new Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS) which focuses on the upper part of the body with wireless Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Kinect device. The Kinect is being used as the base tracking system by the operation of gaming system. Meanwhile, multiple sets of IMU were integrated into the extremity of the subject to calculate the angles through algorithms. Wireless IMUs could compensate the calculating error of angles in Kinect device. In view of the evaluation of angle difference between the IMUs and Kinect device in different upper extremity gestures when playing the rehabilitation game, the results showed that Kinect has a greater error ratio 23% on extremity angles with regard to depth or overlapping extremities, but calculation by IMUs has higher accuracy and stability. The proposed system has incredible potential to enhance the reliability and validity of the efficacy of rehabilitation.

[Purpose] To evaluate the effects of Pilates on patients with chronic low back pain through a systematic review of high-quality articles on randomized controlled trials. [Subjects and Methods] Keywords and synonyms for "Pilates" and "Chronic low back pain" were used in database searches. The databases included PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Medline, and the Cochrane Library. Articles involving randomized controlled trials with higher than 5 points on the PEDro scale were reviewed for suitability and inclusion. The methodological quality of the included randomized controlled trials was evaluated using the PEDro scale. Relevant information was extracted by 3 reviewers. [Results] Eight randomized controlled trial articles were included. Patients with chronic low back pain showed statistically significant improvement in pain relief and functional ability compared to patients who only performed usual or routine health care. However, other forms of exercise were similar to Pilates in the improvement of pain relief and functional capacity. [Conclusion] In patients with chronic low back pain, Pilates showed significant improvement in pain relief and functional enhancement. Other exercises showed effects similar to those of Pilates, if waist or torso movement was included and the exercises were performed for 20 cumulative hours.

Negative intra-articular pressure (IAP) is a passive stabilizer during joint movement. In contrast to that of large joints, the IAP within the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint has not been well studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biomechanics of the MCP joint in terms of load–displacement relation and IAP during the application of long-axis distraction to fresh cadaver specimens. Nine fresh MCP joints specimens from four hands were used. A long-axis distraction load of 16 kg was applied to the cadaver MCP joint before and after venting of the joint capsule. In addition to load–displacement data, a pressure transducer was used to measure the IAP of the MCP joint during loading. After venting the capsule, significant increases were found in displacement at a load of 16 kg (4.60 ± 0.80 mm in an intact MCP joint and 5.22 ± 0.97 mm in a vented MCP joint) and in displacement at the cross-point (3.44 ± 0.82 and 4.01 ± 0.81 mm). No significant difference was found in the displacement difference between a load of 16 kg and the cross-point (1.16 ± 0.26 and 1.20 ± 0.33 mm) as well as stiffness at the terminal range under both the intact and venting conditions (12.59 ± 2.53 and 12.28 ± 2.70 kg/mm). The IAP decreased dramatically during the 5% to 10% total distraction of load. It was found that negative IAP of the MCP joint contributes significantly to initial stability.

[[abstract]]End-range mobilization techniques are recommended for the treatment of patients with hypomobile joints. The purposes of this study were (1) to assess the reliability of a glenohumeral (GH) stiffness measurement technique and (2) apply the measurement technique on subjects with adhesive capsulitis to compare the GH end-range stiffness and rotational range of motions (ROMs) before and immediately after the application of end-range translational mobilization techniques. Fifteen normal subjects were recruited for assessment of test–retest reliability. Four men and two women with adhesive capsulitis in the glenohumeral joint (mean disease duration=6.5 months, SD=2.7) were treated with end-range mobilization by an experienced physical therapist. The passive abduction angles, rotational ROM and GH joint stiffness were measured by the same observer before and immediately after end-range mobilization treatment. The test–retest reliability was assessed and revealed good to excellent reliability in anterior–posterior glenohumeral joint stiffness and fair to excellent reliability of GH stiffness in posterior–anterior direction. The GH joint stiffness decreased and passive abduction range of motion increased immediately after end-range mobilization of the shoulder joint. The use of intensive mobilization techniques may help to decrease the risk of further stiffness or joint contracture progression in patients with adhesive capsulitis

Two methods have been used to produce a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the superficial quadriceps femoris muscles for normalization of electromyographic (EMG) data. The purposes of this study were to compare the myoelectic activity of MVIC of manual muscle testing (MMT) versus Cybex maximal isometric testing. Eighteen normal subjects were recruited. MMT and Cybex testing for MVIC of the dominant leg were performed. EMG activities of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris were recorded during MMT and Cybex trials. EMG amplitude and median frequency obtained from the two methods (MMT and Cybex testing) were used for statistical analysis of these three muscles. Statistically, the difference in the mean of the EMG signal amplitude and median frequency between MMT and Cybex testing were not significant. Considering cost and time, MMT for MVIC technique appears to be reliable and highly valuable.

Background and Purpose: The resting position is frequently used by clinicians in the examination and early treatment of patients with joint impairments. However, there is a lack of research on the kinematic characteristics of the resting position of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. The aim of this study was to define the resting position of the GH joint by quantifying the humeral head translation and axial rotational range of motion (ROM).

To investigate the differences of lumbosacral kinematics between degenerative and induced spondylolisthetic subjects. Translations and angulations of spondylolisthetic spine from L1-L2 to L5-S1 were documented by taking X-ray films at flexion, standing and extension positions. The unstable mechanism of spondylolisthesis leads to lower back pain. It is important to determine the kinematics and the process of spondylolisthesis. Nineteen subjects with spondylolisthesis participated in this research, seven subjects with diagnosis of degenerative and 12 with induced spondylolisthesis, were taken lateral radiographs at three positions including flexion, standing and extension. The differences of angulation among three positions (flexion, standing, and extension) at different levels were statistically significant (P0.05). Segmental total translation and angulation at each level of induced spondylolisthetic spine were greater than those of degenerative spondylolisthetic spine except L5-S1 level, which illustrated the evolution of spondylolisthesis from unstable to less unstable. The results showed induced spondylolisthesis may link to degenerative spondylolisthesis. It provided essential knowledge to detect the evolution of degenerative spondylolisthesis clinically earlier.
