the association of trunk muscle strength with falls ( Granacher et al., 2013 ; Kasukawa et al., 2010 ; Pfeifer et al., 2001 ). In addition, we detected no studies investigating the influence of other trunk muscle function parameters, such as the rate of torque development (RTD) and torque steadiness

The Effect of Staged Versus Usual Care Physiotherapy on Knee Function Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Kestrel McNeill, Hana Marmura, Melanie Werstine, Greg Alcock, Trevor Birmingham, Kevin Willits, Alan Getgood, Marie-Eve LeBel, Robert Litchfield, Dianne Bryant, and J. Robert Giffin
Young athletic patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) have high expectations of a normally functioning knee and a successful return to their preinjury sports or activities after surgery. 1 Unfortunately, these patients experience low rates of return to their
Dose–Response Relationships of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Time With Renal Function Indices in Adolescents With Reduced Renal Function: A Cross-Sectional Study
Zisai Wang, Qiuwei Tian, Yujie Xu, Marady Hun, Lin Hu, Mingyi Zhao, and Qingnan He
Reduced renal function is a hallmark of kidney disease and is usually defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . 1 The latest report indicates that the prevalence of a reduced eGFR among children aged 12–17 years in the United States is approximately 0
The Roles of Sex and Physical Activity in Gait and Knee Extensor Function With Age
Jocelyn F. Hafer, Mark S. Miller, Jane A. Kent, and Katherine A. Boyer
Aging is associated with diminished neuromuscular function that may ultimately result in age-related changes in locomotion or mobility. While there is substantial evidence of changes in gait mechanics, 1 , 2 declines in muscle strength and power, 3 and high-velocity fatigue resistance with age, 4

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of kinesio tape on perceptions of pain and function as well as on ROM, strength
Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Reducing Pain and Increasing Function After Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain: A Critically Appraised Topic
Erin Frey, Christopher D. Brown, and Brady Tripp
Clinical Scenario Within athletics, ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries, with more than 2 million ankle sprains treated in emergency departments alone each year. 1 With injury, pain and loss of function are interrelated. A key goal during the rehabilitation process is to decrease

Nearly one quarter of Canadians above the age 65 are frail ( Kennedy et al., 2014 ; Rockwood et al., 2011 ), and by the age 85, this estimate increases to over 40% ( Rockwood et al., 2011 ). Frailty is an age-related loss of physiologic reserve and function across multiple organ systems ( Clegg et
