Background: The application of spinal orthoses and local vibration in the treatment of hyperkyphosis is a developing concept. Further research is needed to determine the impact of leaf springs and local vibration techniques on the neuromusc…
Background: Family caregivers experience significant stress due to intensive caregiving activities, making them highly susceptible to adverse psychosocial health conditions. Early detection of this stress is crucial for timely interventions…
Background: Breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic complication that impairs quality of life through persistent fluid accumulation. While clinical guidelines recommend longitudinal surveillance, implementation is often limited…
Background: Gait function is essential for mobility and independence in older adults. Although age-related gait decline on level walking has been studied extensively, there is less information on how aging affects gait during ramp walking,
Background: Musculoskeletal pain significantly impacts quality of life and daily functioning. Light-based therapies, including those using red and infrared wavelengths, have shown potential in pain management due to their anti-inflammatory
