It remains unclear whether symmetry is presented in axial-loading postures such as double- and single-leg standing.ObjectiveTo examine side-to-side symmetry of TrA and IO activation in standing and single-leg standing in healthy adults.MethodsFifty-five healthy participants underwent ultrasound imaging to measure the thickness of the TrA and IO muscles at rest and during an abdominal drawing in maneuver (ADIM) in both standing and single-leg standing. Activation ratio (AR) was calculated as the ratio of ADIM thickness to resting thickness.

Anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLI) is a soft tissue injury frequently faced by both athletes and sedentary individuals. In early studies on ACLI, it was reported that these injuries were mostly hormonal, biomechanical and genetic. However, the inconsistencies in these studies are still not fully explained. It is also known that differences in the protein levels of collagen structures play a critical role in non-contact soft tissue injuries. In this sense, it is thought that gene variants may cause sensitivity on ACLI by affecting collagen tissues.ObjectiveThe aim of the study is to systematically examine the relationship between ACLI and genes. In addition, the current study aims to reveal that some genes that are frequently studied in the literature may be related to the structure of the ACL.MethodsStudies on the subject were examined in PubMed and PubMed-Central databases registered with The National Center for Biotechnology Information. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were used in data selection and evaluation.Results11 articles that met the criteria were subjected to bias analysis.

It most commonly affects the knee, followed in frequency by the elbow, ankle, hip, and shoulder. Although SC usually presents as a monoarticular condition, bilateral, extra-articular, or multifocal involvement is uncommon.Case presentationWe report a 78-year-old patient with a history of cerebrovascular event and coronary artery disease who presented with bilateral intra-articular synovial chondromatosis extending extra-articularly to the right popliteal fossa and quadriceps tendon.InterventionsAfter completing 21 sessions of preoperative rehabilitation, the patient underwent right knee surgery consisting of debridement, synovectomy, and cystectomy.OutcomesPain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and joint range of motion was recorded.ConclusionAlthough bilateral involvement is rare, SC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with bilateral knee pain and stiffness. We suggest that preoperative rehabilitation may contribute positively to the overall treatment process, and in cases where surgery is declined, rehabilitation alone may lead to improvements in pain and joint mobility.</p>","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127261430789"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147457656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
