The determination of sarcopenia in older adults using a practical measure
CONCLUSION: The ULL-SPUT index could be used to screen and monitor older adults with sarcopenia in various clinical, community, and home settings. This practical measure may be accomplished using a digital bathroom scale on a hard, even surface. Outcomes would identify an adult who should undergo further confirmation of sarcopenia through standard measures or the initiation of timely management to promote treatment effectiveness.PMID:38160333 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230143 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

Simulation analysis of low back forces in Snatch and Clean & amp; Jerk movements via digital human modelling
CONCLUSION: Weightlifting is a high-risk activity due to the high levels of shear and compression forces that the body is exposed to during the lifting techniques. Digital Human Modeling holds significant value due to their ability to facilitate the exploration of diverse conditions within a safe environment, devoid of any potential harm to human subjects.PMID:38160337 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230181 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

Comparison of posture and muscle stiffness between adolescent boys with haemophilia and age-matched healthy peers: An observational comparative study
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the ankle, knee, lumbar, and craniovertebral segments' posture angles were changed and the stiffness of the rectus femoris muscle decreased in HP. Postural alterations and reduced rectus femoris stiffness should be considered in management of the musculoskeletal complications of haemophilia.PMID:38160338 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230185 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)
