Hybrid maneuver for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in individuals with limited neck mobility: Case series
Mobility limitation of the cervical spine compromises the adequate execution of the canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) in cases of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PSC-BPPV-GEO). Thus, novel therapeutic options are required for such individuals. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Joint knee loads during squat with constant or variable resistance in males. A clinical trial
In the squat movement, the use of constant resistance (CR) generates greater compression and shear forces close to 90 ° of knee flexion, increasing joint overload. However, when used variable resistance (VR) there is no consensus about the effect of knee joint load. The aim of this study was to compare knee torques using constant or variable resistance during the squat exercise. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Could dry needling change the kinematics of gait in individuals with piriformis muscle syndromes? Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Piriformis muscle syndrome (PMS) is a condition that can lead to symptoms including gluteal pain, local tenderness, and limitation of hip joint motion in daily activities, and it may have a major impact on some daily functions such as gait. We proposed that dry needling (DN) can improve the gait of individuals with PMS. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Electromyographic analysis of shoulder-complex muscles performing overhead presses with dumbbell, kettlebell, and bottom-up kettlebell
Kettlebell exercises, specifically the bottom-up grip, have become increasingly popular in training programs. The purpose of this research was to determine if a bottom-up kettlebell grip favorably alters the electromyography (EMG), activity in the medial deltoid (MD), serratus anterior (SA), and lower trapezius (LT), muscles compared to using a dumbbell or traditional kettlebell grip during overhead shoulder presses.
