Participants in the experimental group underwent three sessions of WBV exercise on a Power Plate platform (2 minutes each session, frequency 30 Hz, and amplitude 2 mm), followed by 1 minute of rest in between sessions. The participants in the control group stood on the Power Plate platform with the mechanical vibration turned off. The anterior trunk flexion test was used to assess the degree of flexibility.Results: The WBV technique significantly improved the anterior trunk flexion (mean difference 2.60; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2384-2.9617, p<0.05). The experimental group showed greater improvement (mean difference 2.20; 95% CI: 1.037-3.363, p<0.05) compared to the control group, as well as a larger effect size.Conclusion: Acute WBV immediately improved the anterior trunk flexion flexibility in female sedentary university students.","PeriodicalId":16430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions","volume":"25 2","pages":"192-200"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12131080/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144199397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magnetic resonance imaging was used to capture images of the sagittal and transverse images of the AT, from which the transverse cross-sectional area (CSA), length, and volume were calculated. AT stiffness was also assessed using the MyotonPRO, and rebound jump and single-leg hop performance were measured.Results: The maximum CSA of the AT was significantly greater in the left leg than in the right leg (p<0.05). No significant relationship was found between AT characteristics and jumping performance, regardless of gender or whether the left or right leg was considered.Conclusions: These results suggest that the characteristic kinematic loading of the left leg during jumping in Kendo may lead to different adaptations in AT morphology between the left and right legs, regardless of gender.","PeriodicalId":16430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions","volume":"25 2","pages":"232-238"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12131084/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144199399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and biomarkers (MMPs, COMP) were measured in synovial fluid. Visual analog scale (VAS) and WOMAC scores were also assessed. One-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare differences between groups, while correlation and multiple regression analyses evaluated the impact of these indicators on disease progression.Results: IL-6 levels significantly increased with higher K-L grade. COMP levels also varied significantly across grades. Correlation analysis revealed that IL-6 (r=0.7021, P<0.001) and COMP (r=0.8579, P<0.001) were strongly correlated with K-L grade. Multiple regression analysis identified IL-6 and COMP as independent predictors of disease progression.Conclusion: IL-6 and COMP in synovial fluid are significantly associated with KOA disease grading and progression. These biomarkers can aid in disease monitoring and early intervention, providing a basis for personalized treatment.","PeriodicalId":16430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions","volume":"25 2","pages":"186-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12131078/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144199407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The peak force of wrist palmar flexion, thumb palmar abduction, and distal finger flexion was measured in different positions using the MicroFET2.Results: The highest muscle strength was observed in wrist joint dorsal extension at 30°, followed by the neutral position at 0°, and then palmar flexion at 30°. For thumb palmar abduction, strength was higher at 30° than at 60°. Regarding overall flexion strength, wrist palmar flexion was the strongest, followed by the thumb, then the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and finally, the little finger. In contrast, the simulated paralysis group exhibited irregular muscle strength patterns, providing a basis for identifying simulated muscle weakness.Conclusion: The use of MicroFET2 for measuring finger and wrist flexor muscle strength reveals consistent patterns, aiding in the detection of simulated muscle weakness.
