Abstract Background Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) enormously affects the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. It causes weakness in the affected lower-extremity muscles in addition to muscle imbalance and inadequate power production, especially in the ankle plantar-flexor and knee extensor muscles. It also causes anomalous delayed myoelectrical action of the medial hamstring. A whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise can diminish muscle spasticity and improve walking speed, muscle strength, and gross motor function without causing unfavorable impacts in adults suffering from CP. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of WBV training associated with conventional physical therapy on the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP. Results The post-intervention values of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle force, endurance, and power were significantly higher than the pre-intervention values for both groups (p = 0.001). The post-intervention values of the study group were significantly higher than the control group (quadriceps force, p = 0.015; hamstring force, p = 0.030; endurance, p = 0.025; power, p = 0.014). Conclusion The 8 weeks of WBV training that was added to traditional physical therapy was more successful in improving the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP when compared to traditional physical therapy alone.

Las adherencias en ciertas zonas musculares generan tensiones en otras musculaturas de la misma cadena muscular. El objetivo del estudio es probar el efecto inmediato de la “Auto-liberación Miofascial” (SMR) con la técnica de pelota de golf en la fascia plantar en deportistas federados de “Fútbol 11” (FU) y “Fútbol Sala” (FS) y su incidencia sobre la musculatura isquiosural. Además, se analizó las diferencias entre cada modalidad. El diseño es de tipo experimental longitudinal, con una muestra de 20 deportistas federados. Los resultados muestran una mejora en la longitud alcanzada en el “Test Sit and Reach” (SRT) de forma significativa la SMR entre “Grupo Control” (GC) y “Grupo Experimental” (GE). Entre modalidades no se aprecian diferencias significativas. Se concluye que existe un efecto inmediato de la SMR con la técnica de pelota de golf en la fascia plantar sobre la musculatura isquiosural. No existiendo diferencias significativas entre modalidades. Adhesions in certain muscle areas generate tension in other muscles of the same muscle chain. The aim of the study is to test the immediate effect of the “Self-myofascial release” (SMR) with the golf ball technique on the plantar fascia in federated sportsmen of "Football 11" (FU) and "Futsal" (FS) and its influence on hamstring musculature. Besides, the differences between each modality have been analysed. The design is of the longitudinal experimental type, with a sample of 20 federated sportsmen. The results show significant improvement in the length reached in the “Sit and Reach Test” (SRT) after the SMR between "Control Group" (GC) and "Experimental Group"(GE). There are no significant differences between modalities. It is therefore concluded that there is an immediate effect of SMR with the golf ball technique on the plantar fascia over the hamstring muscle. There are no significant differences between modalities.

SummaryNumerous clinical studies have proved the efficacy of therapy robots in Neurological Motor Rehabilitation and their potential benefits for clinical outcome results. A major challenge of current technological and clinical research is the transfer of this new technology from the rehab hospital to the patient's home, thus enabling him to continue high level rehab training for further improvement of motor control of the affected limbs. This article focuses on motivational aspects and tele-rehabilitation concepts, which play an important role in the development of robotic training systems for home rehabilitation.

The architectural features of the hamstring muscle group are important to prevent injury or to reduce the risk of re-injury. Besides, eccentric training is often used in the rehabilitation of hamstring injuries. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the changes created by eccentric training on hamstring muscle architecture and to determine the minimal values of training duration and intensity for requiring functional changes. The research was conducted on the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, COCHRANE, CINAHL, and Pedro databases. Full-text studies examining the effect of eccentric training on at least one parameter of the hamstring muscle architecture were included in the review. Studies on cadavers and animals and studies involving different types of training combined with eccentric training were excluded. Twelve of the 7954 studies met the set criteria. According to the results, eccentric training undoubtedly increases fiber length. However, the pennation angle tends to decrease. On the other hand, muscle thickness and cross-sectional area tends to increase depending on the eccentric training. Although the frequency, number of sets and number of repetitions in sets were similar in the examined studies, muscle architecture changes were different. We think that eccentric training duration and the number of repetitions in total or per training session seem to have an impact on muscle architecture. In order to determine the minimal eccentric training program that can create these changes, quality research is needed to examine the duration, intensity and methods of eccentric training.
