The Physiological Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Combined with Other Exercise Modalities in Overweight and Obese Individuals: A Systematic Review.
Biology (Basel)
June 2025
Introduction: Emerging evidence indicates that whole-body vibration (WBV) may be a relevant adjunct in interventions targeting overweight and obese individuals. Moreover, WBV has been applied in combination with other exercise modalities and therapeutic strategies, with various physiological responses observed in this population.
Objective: The current systematic review aimed to assess the physiological effects of WBV with other modalities of exercises in overweight and obese individuals.
Impact of Different Types of Physical Exercises for the Management of Older Women with Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.
J Clin Med
May 2025
Urinary incontinence (UI) is particularly prevalent in women of all ages, but especially in older women, due to risk factors that contribute to pelvic floor muscle weakness. Urinary incontinence can have a significant psychosocial impact and compromise the quality of life of affected women. It is reported that physical activity seems to be inversely associated with UI.

Objectives: To study the prevalence of injuries among padel players in Madinah and investigate potential causes. This study makes an attempt to add to the gaps in the literature regarding injury risks and preventive strategies in this fast-growing sport.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study on 305 padel players who come from Madinah, consisting of 193 men and 112 women aged 18-40 years.
Quality of Life and Functional Independence of TheraTogs in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
J Multidiscip Healthc
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of TheraTogs, an orthotic garment, on balance, functional ability, and quality of life in children aged 5-8 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) compared to conventional physical therapy (CPT).
- Results indicate that children using TheraTogs showed significant improvements in balance and lower limb strength compared to those receiving only CPT, although self-care ability did not improve.
- Both groups experienced enhanced functional skills and mobility, suggesting that TheraTogs can effectively supplement traditional therapy in improving overall balance and postural control for children with CP.
COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has had a significant impact on life worldwide since its emergence in late 2019. The virus has caused a global pandemic, leading to widespread health, social, economic, and psychological effects. COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory system.

J Back Musculoskelet Rehabil
January 2023
Background: Several biomechanical outcomes are being used to monitor the risk of injuries; therefore, their reliability and measurement errors need to be known.
Objective: To measure the reliability and measurement error in lower limb 3D gait analysis outcomes during a 90∘ and 135∘ change of direction (COD) manoeuvre.
Methods: A test re-test reliability study for ten healthy recreational players was conducted at seven-day intervals.
