In addition, a reliable test of infraspinatus strength is important for individuals with scapular dyskinesis.ObjectiveThe purpose is to compare the test-retest reliability of infraspinatus strength during the wiper exercise with and without external fixations in individuals with scapular dyskinesis.MethodsThirty individuals with scapular dyskinesis participated. A dynamometer was utilized to measure the strength of the infraspinatus during the wiper exercise with and without external fixation applied to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) and spinous process of a fourth thoracic vertebra (T4). The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC 3,1) were used to compare the reliability of infraspinatus strength measurement.ResultsThe reliability for infraspinatus strength measurement was higher with external fixation than without external fixation. The ICC value during wiper exercise with external fixation was 0.99 (95% confidence interval: 0.96-0.99; P < 0.01), and the average strength was 7.35 ± 2.2 kg. In contrast, the ICC value during wiper exercise without external fixation was 0.79 (95% confidence interval: 0.49-0.93; P < 0.01), and the average strength was 5.86 ± 1.45 kg.ConclusionIn individuals with scapular dyskinesis, the infraspinatus strength measurement during the wiper exercise with external fixation is recommended to improve the test-retest reliability.","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"886-891"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700495","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}

Knee extension and flexion strengths were assessed to calculate the H/Q ratio. SLS was initiated at a height of 30 cm, with the height reduced by 10 cm per attempt until success. The participants were categorized according to their maximum height and knee strengths, and H/Q ratios were compared.ResultsKnee extension strength did not vary significantly across the groups; however, knee flexion strength and H/Q ratio showed notable differences.

Two independent reviewers conducted the literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction processes. Quantitative syntheses used Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 15.1.ResultsThis analysis included 14 RCTs encompassing 554 participants.

Descriptive analyses showed that VRBT can further enhance the effectiveness of ET in reducing depression and anxiety, key components of negative emotions. However, this study faced limitations such as high heterogeneity (I²>90%) and relatively short follow-up durations (up to six months), which may impact the generalizability of these findings.ConclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that VRBT can serve as a valuable complement to ET, providing additional benefits for CSP patients, particularly in pain management, functional rehabilitation, and psychological intervention targeting kinesiophobia and negative emotions.","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"794-809"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143997396","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}
