BACKGROUND: Various exercises have been proposed to mitigate chronic low back pain (LBP). However, to date, no one particular exercise has been shown to be superior. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency between 2 exercises: the individualized graded lumbar stabilization exercise (IGLSE) and walking exercise (WE). METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 48 participants with chronic LBP. After screening, participants were randomized to 1 of 4 groups: flexibili

The results of this study showed that RAS was an effective therapeutic method to improve gait velocity, stride length, cadence, and standing balance in hemiplegic stroke patients.

As amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progresses, dysphagia gets worse due to the weakening of pharyngeal musculature. As oral feeding becomes more difficult or dangerous due to worsening dysphagia, tracheal aspiration, or undernutrition, the necessity for tube feeding becomes increasingly important. This study aims to establish a standard pressure point by applying pharyngeal pressure using high-resolution manometry (HRM) to start tube feeding in patients with ALS.This study was designed as a

BACKGROUND: Balance impairment and lack of postural orientation are serious problems in patients with repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) can improve balance control and gait in repetitive mTBI rat models. METHODS: In this prospective animal study, 65 repetitive mTBI rats were randomly assigned to two groups: the tDCS group and the control group. To create repetit

The thickness of the posterior trunk muscles, especially the QL, on both the paretic and nonparetic sides, was significantly related with the functional ability after stroke. The exercise program of core posterior trunk muscles closely related with functional ability would be helpful to improve trunk balance and ambulatory function in subacute stroke patients.

BACKGROUND: Balance and memory deficits are common in patients with repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the combined effects of amantadine and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on balance and memory in repetitive mTBI rat models. METHODS: In this prospective animal study, 40 repetitive mTBI rats were randomly assigned to four groups: tDCS, amantadine, combination of amantadine and anodal tDCS, and control. The tDCS group received four sessions of

High-frequency PT might benefit gross motor function in children with CP up to 36 months of age. High-frequency PT resulted in improved standing and gait function in the ambulatory group.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Awake venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is known to be effective in patients with critical COVID-19 and respiratory failure. This report describes the rehabilitation course and functional progress of a 63-year-old man who contracted severe COVID-19 and underwent awake venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. He started rehabilitati

This thesis is a study of the development and uptake of an emerging infrastructural technology: the mobile Wireless Broadband technology and service known as WiBro in South Korea, and Mobile WiMAX internationally. WiBro has emerged through a national development effort since the early 2000s. The commercial service was launched in 2006. However, uptake fell far below initial expectations, only succeeding in niche markets. This study was motivated by concerns about the perceived gulf between devel

BACKGROUND: Pediatric flexible flat foot (PFFF) is often associated with pain along the medial longitudinal arch and potential disability. There are several conservative treatment options for PFFF, ranging from intrinsic muscle exercises to orthosis, including University of California Biomechanics Laboratory (UCBL) and custom-made semi-rigid insoles. OBJECTIVES: To investigate and compare the effect of UCBL and custom-made semi-rigid insoles on pedobarographic and radiologic parameters in PFFF.

This pilot study confirmed that applying tablet computer-based cognitive training to children with DD not only improves VMI, but also enhances fine motor skills and activities of daily living. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that tablet computer-based cognitive training does not increase digital media addiction. Therefore, children with DD can engage in tablet computer-based cognitive training at home without concerns about digital media addiction.

Objective: This study aimed to identify caregivers’ perceptions, preferences, and intentions regarding the use of digital articulation therapy applications for children with DLD. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between August and September 2025 among 197 caregivers of children diagnosed with DLD. A 43-item questionnaire was structured into five domains addressing demographics, therapy experience, digital-therapy exposure, and preferences for application-based articulation

Objectives: Anton syndrome is arare stroke syndrome that develops after damage to both occipital lobes, leading to cortical blindness and visual anosognosia. This report describes the rehabilitation course and functional progress of a 42-year-old man diagnosed with Anton syndrome.Methods: The patient started visual stimulation therapy using a color looming disc 5 months after Anton syndrome onset, for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks, totaling 20 sessions.Results: After 4 weeks of vi

Background Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) carries a higher risk of developing several deformities compared to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, necessitating proactive and early management. Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of leaflet- or video-based instruction for home core stabilization exercises in JIS. Study design Retrospective observational comparative study Methods A total of 36 children diagnosed with JIS (Cobb angle 10–20°) who visited a rehabilitation clinic were included. Par
