Prognostic Value of Measuring Handgrip Strength (HGS) for Stroke Patients

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: A handgrip dynamometer is a simple, inexpensive and quick method to assess muscle strength. Sequential decrease in handgrip strength has been shown in various studies as a strong predictor of stroke.

Effect of stretching series on muscle strength and power evaluated by isokinetic dynamometer in adolescents

, 2022
Ainda há controvérsias sobre a real influência do alongamento sobre a força e potência muscular, principalmente tratando-se de adolescentes. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar por meio do teste em dinamômetro isocinético, os efeitos de séries de alongamento sobre a força e potência muscular, dos extensores e flexores de joelho do membro inferior ...

Customized Metal 3D Printed Total Wrist Prosthesis in the Treatment of Severely Destroyed Wrist: Design Rationale and Clinical Applications

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1536-1546, May 2025.
Four patients with severe wrist destruction from various causes were treated with customized 3D‐printed prostheses. In addition to the specific articular surface matching their original radiocarpal joint, two innovative proximal component designs were created to address different bone defects.

Meniscal Repair Achieves Comparable Mid‐Term Functional Performance to Partial Meniscectomy Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Highly Active Patients

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In highly active patients undergoing ACL reconstruction, concomitant meniscal repair yields mid‐term (2–5 years) functional performance, objective strength, and patient‐reported outcomes comparable to partial meniscectomy. These findings support prioritizing meniscal preservation for reparable tears without concern for persistent functional deficits ...

Renal and Functional Vulnerability in Hansen Disease: A Framework for Chronic Infectious Disability in Endemic Settings

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Hansen disease is a neglected infectious disease associated with reactional inflammation, neuropathy and long‐term disability. Renal involvement and sarcopenia have been described separately, but their clinical coexistence has received limited attention. This review examines evidence for a hypothesised renal–functional vulnerability

Seven days of mixed‐method heat acclimation improved markers of cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory strain during exercise‐heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A mixed‐method heat acclimation (HA) protocol may optimise performance by supporting the training taper while promoting thermal adaptation; however, the impact on cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory adjustments to protect health is unknown. Therefore, we examined the effects of a mixed‐method heat protocol on physiological responses, including

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Increases in skin perfusion and blood oxygen in the non‐exercising human limbs during exercise in the heat: Implications for control of circulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow in the inactive limb tissues and skin is widely thought to decline during incremental exercise to exhaustion due to augmented sympathoadrenal vasoconstrictor activity, but direct evidence to support this view is lacking. Here, we investigated the inactive‐forearm haemodynamic (Q̇forearm${\dot{Q}}_{\mathrm{forearm}}$) and oxygenation
