Chronic and Acute Low Back Pain and Its Relationship to the Sacral X-Axis, Leg Length Changes, Sciatica, Abdominal Pain, Idiopathic Scoliosis, and Incontinence
Several interactive pelvic axes occur during activities of weight-bearing and ambulation. Flexion and extension of the symmetrical innominates occur on the sacral x-axis with weight-bearing. Normal asymmetric innominate rotation occurs on the innominate axis at the pubic symphysis during weight-bearing with normal ambulation. Oblique sacral movement occurs on an oblique sacral axis concurrent with asymmetric innominate movement. Acute and chronic low back pain is commonly caused by a bilateral symmetrical or oblique anterior innominate rotation on the sacrum on an acetabular axis, usually while lifting, bending, lowering, ...

The Outcomes of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) for Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Cognitive Decline in Taiwan
Conclusion:
The once-a-week CST approach seems to be a viable alternative to twice-a-week CST for community-dwelling older adults with mild to moderate cognitive deficits. Further investigation is required to determine the optimal dose of CST for the elderly. (Source: Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation)

Functional Fitness in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions:
A 1-hour intervention program, including 10 to 15 minutes of warm-up, 30 to 40 minutes of main exercise, and 5 to 10 minutes of cool-down stages, for 2 to 3 sessions per week, and continuing for 12 to 16 weeks, was the effect intervention for community-dwelling healthy older adults to enhance their upper body strength, lower body flexibility, and agility balance.

Side-to-Side Variability in Muscle Function With Parkinson Disease
Purpose of this study was to characterize side-to-side differences in quadriceps, hamstrings strength, and quadriceps activation in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Participants were individuals with PD (n = 17) with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor scores ranging from 9.5 to 61.0. Paired t tests compared strength and muscle activation between limbs for all individuals. The stronger quadriceps was 15.2% stronger (P (Source: Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation)
