Dry needling of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle reduces postural control in standing: A pre‐post stabilometric study

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 243, Issue 3, Page 545-554, September 2023., 2023
After flexor digitorum brevis muscle, dry needling standing balance is reduced. Surface with eyes closed, laterolateral and anteroposterior medium speed of the center of pressure variables worsened after Flexor brevis dry needling. It is necessary to recommend rest and measures to avoid falls after dry needling. Abstract There are studies that show the

Residual effects of low dose of suvorexant, zolpidem, and ramelteon in healthy elderly subjects: A randomized double‐blind study

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 288-298, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Current hypnotic agents have next‐day residual effects. The new orexin antagonist, suvorexant, has little muscle relaxation effect on the physical and cognitive function in the following morning and daytime. In this study, the effects of suvorexant, zolpidem, ramelteon and placebo in elderly subjects were evaluated.

Effects of global postural reeducation on postural control, dynamic balance, and ankle range of motion in patients with hallux abducto valgus. A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1436-1445, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Hallux abducto valgus (HAV) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that has been addressed surgically. Nevertheless, the manual therapy approach may play an important role in the management of this condition. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of global postural reeducation (GPR) in subjects with symptomatic mild to moderate ...
