Immediate Effects of Wearing Compression and Textured Materials on Plantar Tactile Sensitivity, Balance, and Mobility in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Background: Evidence suggests that lower-limb stimulation strategies are designed to enhance somatosensory feedback by stimulating the plantar receptors. However, previous studies have focused on only a single sensory stimulation strategy in older adults. Combining two stimulation strategies might produce better results by boosting the sensorimotor signals in older adults.

Low back activity confidence scale: Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Turkish version in individuals with non-specific low back pain.

BackgroundThe Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (LoBACS) was developed to evaluate self-efficacy in individuals with low back pain (LBP).ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of Turkish version of LoBACS in individuals with non-specific LBP.MethodsThe study included 105 participants (66 female, 39 male) with a mean age of 40.

The investigation of acute effects of fascial release technique in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Fascial release technique is used for releasing fascial tissue to decrease pain, to increase range of motion, and to improve functional level.

Objective: To investigate the acute effects of fascial release technique on pain, range of motion, upper extremity functional level, and fear of movement in individuals with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: Thirty volunteers with an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were included in the study.
