Highly trained dancers provide insights for researchers helping design improved rehab programs for people with mobility impairments. The next step could include rehab robots as dance partners.

When knees begin to ache or hips feel stiff, resting them can seem like the safest choice. But avoiding movement for too long may actually make everyday activities harder by allowing muscles, balance, and joint function to decline. Evidence reviewed in an article published by The Conversation shows why carefully chosen exercise can be one […] The post Aging Joints Need Movement, Not Rest appeared…

According to the physical and mental characteristics of children with ASD, a 16-…

Researchers from Houston Methodist and the University of Cambridge have developed a flexible device that wraps around the spinal cord and can simultaneously interpret multiple signals related to movement, sensation and internal body functions. The research demonstrates that a single device may be capable of restoring lost functions after spinal cord injury.

BackgroundMusculoskeletal conditions are leading contributors to global disability and place a significant economic burden on health systems. Optimal physical activity is a key recommended strategy for managing musculoskeletal conditions, yet many individuals struggle to sustain activity levels following the completion of exercise rehabilitation programmes. Identifying and understanding the facto…

Muskaan Shafi, LLM Scholar, School of Law, University of Kashmir, Hazratbal Srinagar ABSTRACT The way a society treats its children when they break the law shows how civilized and forward-thinking it is. For a very long time, the criminal justice system treated everyone the same, whether they were an adult or a child. If a child committed a crime, they were thrown into the same dark Prisons as ha…

BackgroundChronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common sequela of lateral ankle sprain and is associated with recurrent injury, persistent functional limitations, sensorimotor deficits, and impaired postural control. However, how individuals with CAI adapt to graded and combined sensory feedback disruption remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether individuals with CAI exhibit altered …

Can modern arthroplasty restore independence in an ultra-rare skeletal dysplasia? This first Saudi Arabian report shows how staged bilateral hip and knee replacements enabled a teenager with SEMD-JL3 to progress from wheelchair dependence to walking.

For millions of people, that connection is broken — not because the thinking isn't there, but because the body doesn't cooperate. A child with autism who understands everything said to them but cannot form spoken words. An adult who survived a stroke with their mind intact but their speech gone. A person…

IntroductionPostoperative rehabilitation exercise adherence is critical for recovery after pediatric kidney transplantation, yet its associated psychosocial factors remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to examine postoperative psychological status and rehabilitation exercise adherence in pediatric kidney transplant recipients, identify distinct adherence patterns, and determine a…

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability around the world. Even after surviving the initial event, many people face months or years of rehabilitation to regain the ability to walk safely. Scientists are now exploring how robotics can support therapists without replacing the human care that remains essential during recovery. A new […] The post Exoskeleton Teamwork Gives New Hope…

With the support of National Institutes of Health funding, Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators, led by pathologist Aaron W. James, M.D., Ph.D., previously discovered that sensory neurons in skeletal tissue are constantly sensing their environment and are quick to respond to injuries.

With the support of National Institutes of Health funding, Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators, led by pathologist Aaron W.
