Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of postural stabilization exercises on pain, muscle strength and function in females with patellofemoral pain.
Methods: Forty-two volunteers with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) were included in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 performed therapeutic knee and postural stabilization exercises (n=22); Group 2 performed therapeutic knee exercises only (n=20). All patients were evaluated for pain, hamstring flexibility, function, lower extremity strength and postural control before and after treatment and at the 12th week. A two-way ANOVA was done within each group before and after treatment and at the 12th week. The level of significance was set at p<0.05, and when this was observed, the Tukey test was used to determine which group had caused the significance.
Results: The results were statistically significant between the groups in terms of pain, flexibility, function, strength, endurance, postural control and the parameters of the Kujala patellofemoral pain scale (p<0.05). For all parameters, Group 1 achieved the greater success after treatment (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The implementation of physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs including postural stabilization exercises may improve strength and function and reduce pain in patients with PFPS.

Functional Trade-Offs of Regulatory Mechanisms in the Management of Body Energy, Frontal Plane Angular Momentum and Mediolateral Margin of Stability During Hole Negotiation Gait.
Ann Biomed Eng
September 2025
Department of Training and Movement Sciences, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philippstr. 13, Haus 11, 10115, Berlin, Germany.
The functional interaction of regulatory mechanisms that manage total centre of mass (CoM) energy, frontal plane whole-body angular momentum and mediolateral margin of stability (MoS) during hole negotiation gait was investigated. Joint kinematics, leg posture, total CoM energy, frontal plane whole-body angular momentum, mediolateral MoS and muscle activation patterns of seven bilateral lower leg muscles were assessed in 18 participants. During hole negotiation, we found an increase in the peak-to-peak range of total CoM energy and frontal plane whole-body angular momentum during the preparation, hole and recovery steps, and a decrease in mediolateral MoS at touch-down during the preparation and hole steps compared to level walking, providing evidence of an increased challenge in stability control.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate how subscapularis tendon repair influences joint loads in relation to humeral offset and arm position.
Patients And Methods: Two fresh-frozen, whole-body cadaveric shoulders underwent a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) on the humeral side using an internal proprietary load-sensing system (LSS) (Goldilocks, Statera Medical, Montreal, Canada). In addition to three "complex" Activity Daily Life positions ("behind the back", "overhead reach", and "across the chest"), four standard postures (external rotation, extension, abduction, and flexion) were used to record the glenohumeral loads (Newtons) and their locations applied to the implant.
Sex as a moderator of the relationship between hip abduction strength and muscle activation during single-leg stance.
PLoS One
September 2025
Sports and Exercise Medicine, Queen Mary University London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Single-leg stance requires pelvic stability, largely supported by the hip abductors. Differences in hip abductor activation between sexes and individuals with or without musculoskeletal conditions may relate to abductor weakness. However, the relationship between hip abduction strength and muscle activation during stance, and whether this is moderated by sex, remains unclear.

Posturography is a useful technique that allows to explore postural control, a complex motor skill enabling body orientation and stability. Analyzing postural control is one way to assess body responses to various emotional stimuli. By examining the displacement of the center of pressure, it is possible to investigate postural adjustments of individuals confronted with emotional stimuli.

Purpose: To compare the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training via telerehabilitation (CSET-T) in addition to standard treatment on pain, forward head posture, cervical mobility, muscle performance, functional status, sleep quality, and quality of life in individuals with migraine in comparison to the standard treatment alone.
Methods: The control group (n = 20) received standard treatment alone (medication+recommendations). The stabilization group (n = 20) was given CSET-T in addition to standard treatment 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
