[Participants and Methods] Sixty-six lower limbs from 33 healthy adults (20 males, 13 females; mean age 25.4 ± 3.4 years) were classified into successful and unsuccessful groups. Isokinetic strength of the knee (flexion/extension at 60°/s) and hip (flexion/extension/abduction/adduction at 30°/s) was measured. Statistical analyses included t-tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) using sex as a covariate. Stratified analyses were also performed. [Results] The successful group had significantly greater strength in knee flexion/extension, hip flexion, and hip adduction. ANCOVA revealed that knee flexion and extension were significantly associated with SLST 20 performance, whereas hip strength was not, after adjusting for sex. Among females, hip adduction strength was significantly greater in the successful group, with no significant difference observed in males. [Conclusion] Knee strength is crucial for SLST 20 performance, and hip adduction strength may be important, particularly in females. Therefore, sex-specific assessments and training strategies should be considered in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":16834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Therapy Science","volume":"37 10","pages":"524-529"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483485/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145206797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unilateral thoracic expansions were calculated to assess differences between the maximal expiratory and inspiratory positions for each deep breath. The test-retest reliability of the unilateral thoracic expansion was then examined. [Results] Test reliability was excellent for both first and second datasets. Retest reliability was also excellent. The minimum detectable change (MDC) in the retest was 3.31 mm. [Conclusion] This newly developed method for measuring thoracic expansion is sufficiently reliable.

Although short foot exercise (SFE) is commonly used in the treatment of flatfoot and mainly induces the intrinsic foot muscles, it has little effect on foot kinematics. The intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscles are required for maintaining the foot arch; thus, we have developed the arch raise exercise (ARE). [Participants and Methods] Ten feet of 10 participants with flatfoot and 10 feet of 10 healthy participants were included. Muscle activity was measured during ARE, SFE, and heel raise (HR). The muscle activity levels of the abductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, abductor digiti minimis, flexor digitorum longus, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, and the lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius were measured. [Results] In the flatfoot group, ARE generated greater intrinsic and extrinsic muscle activity compared to those generated by the SFE; however, these effects were not significant. In the flatfoot group, the activities of the abductor hallucis and peroneus brevis were greater during the ARE than during HR. [Conclusions] ARE and SFE can generate comparable activity of the intrinsic foot muscles. Compared with SFE, ARE can generate greater activity in the extrinsic muscles.","PeriodicalId":16834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Therapy Science","volume":"37 10","pages":"530-536"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483491/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145206746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sustained maximal inspiratory pressure was measured two or three times using the test of incremental respiratory endurance. Its relative and absolute reliabilities were assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. The minimal detectable change and percentage of minimal detectable change were also calculated. [Results] The intraclass correlation coefficients for sustained maximal inspiratory pressure were 0.937 and 0.969, respectively, indicating high reliability across both re-measurement criteria. Bland-Altman analysis showed no systematic bias. Minimal detectable change values were 124.7 and 88.4 pressure time units, with corresponding percentage of minimal detectable change values of 23.8% and 16.9%, respectively. [Conclusion] Sustained maximal inspiratory pressure demonstrated high reliability and no systematic bias, suggesting its potential as a valid measure of respiratory muscle endurance.

Patients with Parkinson's disease who had lower scores on the Frontal Assessment Battery and longer completion times on the Trail Making Test Part B tended to show reduced rhythm reproducibility.

EMG analysis included the integrated electromyogram (IEMG) and median frequency (MF). [Results] Knee extension MVIC did not differ significantly between control and short-term vibration groups. However, it was significantly increased in the long-term vibration group relative to the control group. No differences in IEMG and MF were observed.

[Participants and Methods] A correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between six visual functions measured using a vision training system, and physical fitness test scores among 30 college students. The six visual function items measured were: \"eye-hand/body coordination\", \"instantaneous visual memory\", \"spatial awareness\", \"peripheral perception\", \"central/peripheral perception\", and \"eye movement\". The physical fitness tests included \"grip strength\", \"long body forward bending\", \"repetitive horizontal jump\", and \"standing broad jump\". [Results] Visual function showed a significant positive correlation with spatial awareness. In addition, among the physical fitness tests, spatial awareness was significantly positively correlated with repetitive horizontal jump scores. [Conclusion] Spatial awareness is the ability to visualize the positional relationship between moving targets and other objects from a bird's-eye view, and is a crucial ability in sports. Motor performance is largely associated with the ability to accurately grasp the positional relationships of objects in space, suggesting that spatial awareness may be another factor influencing motor performance.","PeriodicalId":16834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Therapy Science","volume":"37 10","pages":"493-497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483492/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145206762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
