Background: It has been estimated that between 30 and 50 per cent of all injuries that take place throughout participation in a sport are the consequence of soft tissue injuries, and muscle injuries are the primary cause of physical disability. Methods: The current literature review was designed between October 2021 and April 2022, according to the PRISMA standards, using the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. At the screening stage, we eliminated articles that did not fit into the themes developed in all subchapters of the study (n = 70), articles that dealt exclusively with orthopaedics (n = 34), 29 articles because the articles had only the abstract visible, and 17 articles that dealt exclusively with other techniques for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The initial search revealed 343 titles in the databases, from which 56 duplicate articles were automatically removed, and 2 were added from other sources. Results: The combination of these three techniques results in the following advantages: It increases joint mobility, especially in stiff joints, it increases the range of motion, accelerates tissue repair, improves tissue stability, and extensibility, and it reduces soft tissue inflammation (manual therapy). In addition, it decreases the concentration of pro-inflammatory mediators and improves capillary permeability, resulting in the total eradication of inflammation (HILT). It warms the deep tissues, stimulates vascularity, promotes the repose of tissues (particularly muscle tissue), and stimulates drainage (TECAR). Conclusions: TECAR therapy, combined with manual therapy and High-Intensity Laser therapy in treating muscle diseases, presented optimal collaboration in the recovery process of all muscle diseases.

Due to the growth of sensor technology, more affordable integrated circuits, and connectivity technologies, the usage of wearable equipment and sensing devices for monitoring physical activities, whether for wellness, sports monitoring, or medical rehabilitation, has exploded. The current literature review was performed between October 2022 and February 2023 using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in accordance with P.R.I.S.M.A. criteria. The screening phase resulted in the exclusion of 69 articles that did not fit the themes developed in all subchapters of the study, 41 articles that dealt exclusively with rehabilitation and orthopaedics, 28 articles whose abstracts were not visible, and 10 articles that dealt exclusively with other sensor-based devices and not medical ones; the inclusion phase resulted in the inclusion of 111 articles. Patients who utilise sensor-based devices have several advantages due to rehabilitating a missing component, which marks the accomplishment of a fundamental goal within the rehabilitation program. As technology moves faster and faster forward, the field of medical rehabilitation has to adapt to the time we live in by using technology and intelligent devices. This means changing every part of rehabilitation and finding the most valuable and helpful gadgets that can be used to regain lost functions, keep people healthy, or prevent diseases.

Currently, sports activities require a high reaction speed, coordination, and balance, highlighting the relationship between proprioceptive control, visual control, and hand–eye coordination in youth. The present research assessed the proprioceptive control, reaction speed, and lower limb balance of youth from five different schools to identify the level of physical preparation of children in this direction. This prospective study was conducted between 1 January 2020 and 29 February 2020. A total of 107 healthy children (33 females and 74 males) with appropriate medical conditions, aged between 14 and 15 years, from five Romanian schools were included in the experiment. All children were assessed for visual control and reaction speed with the ruler drop test, and for lower limb balance, the standing stork test was used. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, data series distribution, and comparison of means and medians using specific statistical programs. Comparison of medians highlighted significant statistical differences in the standing stork test with eyes closed and the dominant leg compared with the nondominant leg (p = 0.0057). Males were compared to females at the nondominant leg (p = 0.0179); closed eyes were compared with opened eyes for the nondominant leg (p = 0.0175 and 0.0006) for the ruler drop test comparing the dominant hand with the nondominant hand (p = 0.0212). Children who engage in sports activities better integrated sensory information in motor action execution based on reaction speed and coordination with the nondominant hand.

The aim of this research is to identify and analyse the causes that have influenced the total number of student places and career paths of graduates of a sports-program high school. In this sociological research, the case study method was used, which had in the foreground the Sports Program Suceava High school, from Romania. The sampling comprised the high school grade students (XI-XII), registered from September 2015 to August 2019. The objectives of the study are to determine the main variables that have generated major changes in the total number of student places’ architecture and in graduate career choices. Socio-economic causes and educational policies justify the high flow of requests for transfer from this high school to other educational establishments, especially in the first year of training (IXth grade), but also to the school unit under consideration (frequent requests in the XIth grade). Unsustainable education policies, in relation to the requirements and exigencies of sport performance, but also the permissive legislation on operational transfer procedures, have a bearing on sporting performance, graduate career paths and, last but not least, on the ethical code (or it should have it) a sports-program high school. The psycho-intellectual development and psycho-behavioural development of sports students in an accessible school environment, tenderer and adapted to his own needs, can only be achieved through a continuous effort, in conjunction with a joint effort between school-parents-local authorities and institutions with legislative leverage.

Sedentarism is a very actual problem in our society, and it has increasing rate because of the comfort that technology gives us. It can cause many health issues, starting with obesity and continuing with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cancer, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal diseases, depression, and cognitive function disorders. The objective of this study was to test the CoRehab software, which uses interactive games developed for each exercise, and prove its efficiency in prophylactic programs. The system uses motion tracking to control the games. The hardware consists of 5 motion-tracking sensors, a stabilizer platform, and a notebook with preinstalled software. Between the tests, we followed a prophylactic training program. Results: The scores of the second test in the daily score and precision categories were more miniature at 1.3%, but the values for stability and accuracy were more significant, with 11.5% and 10.5%. So, the program maintained a training level in 2 categories and improved it in the other two categories. Conclusion: Implementing this system in the kinetic prophylactic training programs could increase their efficiency, and it would help to follow the evolution of the subjects using it more accessible.

This article aims to investigate and explore present rehabilitation technology. Through the accumulated results of this review, we will summarise the support and benefits that the emergence of technologies in medicine provides. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate how patient rehabilitation is evolving compared to traditional rehabilitation. The initial search identified 113 titles in the databases; 18 duplicate articles were removed automatically. The remaining 95 articles were examined by title and abstract, which resulted in the elimination of 59 studies. The full texts of the remaining 36 articles were read and evaluated; nine articles were excluded because they did not satisfy the inclusion criteria established for this study. At the evaluation stage, nine studies were thrown out because they did not fit into the medical fields that the research was looking into or because there was not enough data and information to analyse or rate the results. Other studies were excluded from the full-text evaluation because the study sample was not specified. Technology integration into rehabilitation presents obstacles such as high costs and limited accessibility. Researchers, medicinal professionals, and the technology industry must work together to develop more effective and cost-effective solutions. Nevertheless, these obstacles pale in comparison to the patient benefits of technology. In order to maximise the benefits and surmount the current challenges, it will be necessary to continue the research and development of these technologies in the future.
