Myophosphorylase Knock Out Prevents the Exaggerated Exercise Pressor Reflex in Rats With Simulated Peripheral Artery Disease

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Controversy exists on which metabolites determine the exaggerated exercise pressor reflex (EPR) in peripheral artery disease (PAD). In decerebrated rats, we investigated the role played by lactate and hydrogen ions in a model of PAD, which was simulated by ligating the femoral artery for 72 h before the start of the experiment.

Retention of gait stability improvements over 1.5 years in older adults: effects of perturbation exposure and triceps surae neuromuscular exercise.

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018
The plantarflexors play a crucial role in recovery from sudden disturbances to gait. The objective of this study was to investigate whether medium (months)- or long(years)-term exercise-induced enhancement of triceps surae (TS) neuromuscular capacities ...

Lactate supplementation modulates molecular and functional responses during chronic neuromuscular electrical stimulation in male rats

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, March 2026.
Abstract Lactate is increasingly recognized as a signaling molecule that modulates muscle plasticity. We examined the effects of oral L‐sodium lactate supplementation on skeletal muscle adaptation to chronic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in rats.

Achilles tendon compliance influences tendon loading more than Achilles tendon twist in Achilles tendinopathy: a musculoskeletal modeling approach

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The Achilles tendon exhibits anatomical variations in subtendon twist among individuals, and its compliance can change due to conditions like Achilles tendinopathy.

Rehearsal Injuries in Soft-Soled Character Shoes: Injury Rate of Female Collegiate Dancers Wearing Soft-Soled Character Shoes with 2.5 or 3.0 Inch Heels in Musical Theatre Rehearsals [PDF]

, 2018
High-heeled shoes (HHS) have been known to present biomechanical imbalances in lower-leg mechanics at the pedestrian level, but have not been thoroughly studied in the context of highly dynamic movement, such as dance.

Physiotherapy‐Led Rehabilitation of Foot Drop Following Lower Limb Gunshot Injury

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Gunshot injury (GSI) severely damages muscles and the nervous system, requiring long‐term treatment and rehabilitation. This case report highlights the effectiveness of physiotherapy‐led rehabilitation in a patient with lower limb injury and foot drop. After emergency treatment, the patient was diagnosed with common peroneal nerve injury (CPNI)

Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Lower‐Limb Spasticity in an Individual With Subacute Stroke: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy showed immediate spasticity reduction and sustained range of motion improvement in a patient with subacute stroke. However, twice‐weekly sessions were insufficient for lasting spasticity control, suggesting that more frequent treatments may be required.
