      Purpose This study evaluates the impact of a 3-week period of intensive pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT), with or without instrumentation, on clinical and static magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes of puborectalis (PR) and iliococcygeus (IL) muscles. Methods 24 healthy young women were enrolled in the study and 17 achieved the 9 sessions of 30 min training exercises and conducted all ...

      Before and immediately after passive upper limb neurodynamic mobilizations targeting the median nerve, grip ( GF ) and load ( LF ) forces applied by the thumb, index and major fingers (three-jaw chuck pinch) were collected using a manipulandum during three different grip precision tasks: grip-lifthold- replace (GLHR), vertical oscillations (OSC), and vertical oscillations with up and down ...
    • Quasi‑experimental pilot study to improve mobility and balance in recurrently falling nursing home residents by voluntary non‑targeted side‑stepping exercise interventionPeer reviewedOpen access

      Background: Side-stepping is a potential exercise program to reduce fall risk in community-dwelling adults in their seventies, but it has never been tested in nursing home residents. This was a pilot quasi-experimental study to examine the feasibility and potential mobility and balance benefits of an intervention based on voluntary non-targeted side-stepping exercises in nursing home residents ...
    • Unstable footwear as a speed-dependent noise-based training gear to exercise inverted pendulum motion during walkingPeer reviewedOpen access

      Article scientifique
      Previous research on unstable footwear has suggested that it may induce mechanical noise during walking. The purpose of this study was to explore whether unstable footwear could be considered as a noise-based training gear to exercise body center of mass (CoM) motion during walking. Ground reaction forces were collected among 24 healthy young women walking at speeds between 3 and 6 km h−1 with ...
