Dual-task effects on the kinematics of treadmill running at different speeds in runners and non-runners

Abstract Background Dual tasking (DT) occurs when secondary cognitive tasks divide attention with a motor task. Such a condition may influence kinematics during locomotor tasks, but its effects on running kinematics remain controversial among people with varying levels of experie...

Cognitive Functional Therapy for Plantar Heel Pain: A Case Series

BACKGROUND: Plantar heel pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition frequently associated with persistent pain, disability, and biopsychosocial contributors. Although guideline-based care has evolved, management often remains centered on passive and tissue-focused strategies,...

Balance Control and Its Correlation with Functional Capacity in People with Post-Tuberculosis Lung Disease

Background: Because falls can lead to loss of autonomy in individuals with post-tuberculosis lung disease (iwPTLD), assessing fall risk is crucial for reducing the likelihood of fractures and preventing the decline of physical function. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluat...
