Achilles Tendon Shear Wave Velocity Within a 1‐Year Follow‐Up After Non‐Operatively Treated Rupture

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
During a 1‐year follow‐up after an acute Achilles tendon rupture, the injured tendon reached the shear wave velocity level of the uninjured limb by 6 months. At 6‐ and 12 months, the symmetry of tendon shear wave velocity correlated with the symmetry of ankle plantarflexion strength, but not with the number of daily steps nor the symmetry of tendon ...

Ultrasound Structural Changes in Triceps Surae After a 1-Year Daily Self-stretch Program: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial in Chronic Hemiparesis

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2019
Introduction. The effects of long-term stretching (>6 months) in hemiparesis are unknown. This prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled trial compared changes in architectural and clinical parameters in plantar flexors of individuals with chronic

Acute Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Peripheral Tissue Oxygenation Behavior in Individuals With COPD: A Randomized Crossover Study

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a pulmonary condition characterized by airflow obstruction, which progresses with systemic alterations such as changes in muscle composition and metabolism, anticipating the activation of the inspiratory metaboreflex.

Cistanche tubulosa Extract Protects Cast Immobilization‐Induced Declines of Muscle Strength and Muscle Mass

Traditional &Kampo Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim One of the effects of Cistanche herb is described in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as for lack of strength in muscles and bones. However, concrete evidence of this herb for muscle strength has been hardly reported. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of 30% ethanolic extract of Cistanche tubulosa fleshy stem on muscle strength and ...

The impact of type 2 diabetes on tendon material properties and locomotor function in the db/db mouse

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 2014-2025, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Obesity affects billions of individuals world‐wide and brings with it greater susceptibility to secondary conditions, like that of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). One of the most effective therapeutic treatment strategies for obesity and T2DM is exercise, yet both populations present with severe exercise intolerance.

Stepwise Regulation of Cellular Oxidative Stress via Conductive‐Piezoelectric Integrated Microstructured Conduits for Enhanced Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study presents a conductive‐piezoelectric integrated microstructured conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The conduit combines reduced graphene oxide with a piezoelectric nanofiber membrane, enhancing nerve repair through physical guidance, oxidative stress inhibition, and ultrasound‐activated electrical stimulation.
