Making Sense of Proprioception by Bibliometric Research.

Background: Proprioception is one of the most significant factors in balance, stability, fine movements, coordination, and injury prevention. Proprioception research helps clarify how the nervous system integrates sensory inputs to plan and execute movements. Bibliometric analyses offer a systematic and comprehensive understanding of a field's structure, evolution, trends, research clusters, and gaps, laying a scientific foundation for future research.

The psychometric properties of the Dubousset Functional Test in patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

Background: The Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) has precise metrics that evaluate the functionality of the spinopelvic muscle groups maintaining the spinal alignment. This study investigates concurrent validity, interrater reliability, responsivity, and feasibility of the DFT in patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

Methods: Thirty patients with thoracic hyperkyphosis performed the DFT twice, the Five-Repetition Sit-To-Stand test (5R-STS), and the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire (SRS-22) once on the same day.

The reliability and validity of the Lie‑To‑Sit‑To‑Stand‑To‑Walk transfer test in total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard procedure for treating end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, some residual issues can persist, leading to various problems, including pain, compromised strength, impaired proprioception, postural instability, dynamic balance issues, and gait deficiencies. The Lie-to-Sit-to-Stand-to-Walk Transfer Test (LSSWT) implements a multi-faceted methodology to evaluate basic transfer abilities.

The efficacy of taping on elbow proprioception in healthy individuals: A single-blinded randomized placebo-controlled study.

Background: Taping stimulates the mechanoreceptors, increases sensory information to the central nervous system, and improves sensorimotor synchronization, resulting in improved motor control. However, the efficacy of taping on elbow proprioception is not clear.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of taping on elbow proprioception in healthy individuals.

Immediate effects of elbow orthoses on elbow proprioception in asymptomatic individuals: A randomized sham-controlled single-blinded study.

Background: Improving proprioception can reduce the risk of injuries, while its disruption may lead to injuries and recurrent or persistent symptoms.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of elbow orthoses on elbow proprioception in asymptomatic individuals.

Study Design: This was a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study with a sham application.

The reliability and validity of the cone evasion walk test in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can result in joint pain, stiffness, compromised balance, hindered mobility, and decreased functional independence. The Cone Evasion Walk Test (CEW) was designed for evaluating balance by evaluating the capacity to evade obstacles. Consequently, the study's objective was to assess the validity and reliability of the CEW in hip OA patients.

Immediate Effects of Mulligan Mobilization on Elbow Proprioception in Healthy Individuals: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Single-Blind Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) on elbow proprioception.

Methods: The study included 26 participants in the intervention group and 30 participants in the control group. The intervention group received MWM, while the control group received a sham application.

The test-retest reliability and minimal clinically important difference of the Dubousset Functional Test and its correlation with Rolland Morris disability questionnaire in chronic non-specific low back pain.

Objective: This study examines the test-retest reliability, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and its correlation with the Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) of the Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) in evaluating the functional capacity and dynamic balance of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (cnsLBP).

Methods: Seventy-five patients with cnsLBP aged 18 years and over were included. The Five-Repetition Sit-To-Stand Test (5R-STS), the subcomponents of the DFT (the Up and Walk Test, the Steps Test, the Down and Sitting Test, and the Dual-Tasking Test) were administered to the patients.

Bibliometric Analysis of Research in Pediatrics Related to Virtual and Augmented Reality: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: The amount of research exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in health care has exploded. This has resulted in a massive body of work, making it difficult to obtain all of the research. The objective of this study was to map out and put together the scientific output of research and global trends in virtual and AR in pediatrics.

The Reliability and Validity of the Lie-to-Sit-to-Stand-to-Walk Transfer (LSSWT) Test in Knee Osteoarthritis.

Background: Several neuromuscular impairments may be observed in older patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), increasing the risk of falling, which is common during transfer activities. The Lie-to-Sit-to- Stand-to-Walk Transfer (LSSWT) test was developed to evaluate complex transfer abilities. The study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of LSSWT in patients with knee OA.
