“Pilates Reformer exercises performed once per week for 10 weeks resulted in reduced fall risk and significant improvements in static and dynamic balance, functional mobility, balance self-efficacy, and lower extremity AROM in adults age 65 and older at risk for falling, whereas the control group did not significantly improve in any measures. Pilates Reformer exercises are more effective compared to no exercise intervention at improving hip and ankle AROM.”

“We show that skeletal muscle structure is associated with a lower exercise capacity in patients, and local and systemic metabolic disturbances, severe exercise-induced myopathy and tissue infiltration of amyloid-containing deposits in skeletal muscles of patients with long COVID worsen after induction of post-exertional malaise. This study highlights novel pathways that help to understand the pathophysiology of post-exertional malaise in patients suffering from long COVID and other post-infectious diseases.”

In this longitudinal, case-controlled, cohort design study, authors show that post-exertional malaise is associated with severe exercise-induced myopathy, local and systemic metabolic disturbances and infiltration of amyloid-containing deposits in skeletal muscles of patients with long COVID.

“This study found that incorporating the multifidus in the trunk musculoskeletal modeling had an impact on the compressive force and shear force estimation of lower lumbar spine. It is important to model multifidus to increase the success rate of simulation and decrease the incidence of overestimation of compressive load on the lumbar spine. Asymmetric multifidus atrophy had a minor effect on the lower lumbar spine in the sagittal plane. The results highlighted the fine-tuning ability of multifidus in equilibrating the loads on the lower back and the necessity of incorporating multifidus in trunk musculoskeletal modeling.”

Is joint hypermobility linked to self-reported non-recovery from COVID-19?

“Individuals with GJH were approximately 30% more likely not to have recovered fully from COVID-19 infection… and this predicted the fatigue level.”

Objectives This study sought to explore whether generalised joint hypermobility (GJH, a common marker of variant connective tissue) was a risk factor for self-reported non-recovery from COVID-19 infection.DesignProspective observational study.SettingCOVID Symptom Study Biobank (https://cssbiobank.co...
