Identifying innovative rehabilitation and prevention approaches for muscle weakness, biomechanical asymmetries, and performance limitations

[Ron Shavit @RonShavit2]

After 1.5 years, my second PhD paper is out!
We developed a novel tool to assess physiotherapists' confidence in managing low back pain via direct access & primary care.
Findings show Israeli PTs are ready for the task.

Your phone might detect early signs of aging, just from how you walk or climb stairs.
Our study shows smartphone sensors can catch subtle mobility changes early.

A recent study from our Lab shows that the Brief-BESTest, paired with accelerometry, can detect early balance deterioration in middle-aged adults. This tool could help identify those at risk for falls and support early prevention. Learn more: https://t.co/rKFS2CzeG8

Happy to share our latest paper

[Uri Gottlieb @urigott]

New from our lab, the last paper of my PhD work published in @ISEKCongress describing potential benefits of incorporating NMES to exercise therapy in patients with chronic ankle instability.

In our recent study, we demonstrate that automatic anticipatory peroneal postural responses are decreased in middle-age, whereas reflexive postural responses appear to be intact. Brief neuromuscular EMG-BF training showed an immediate positive effect.

Happy to share our latest paper, as part of our effort to identify markers of functional deficits in midlife that could promote better and healthy aging. Our results show that reduced light affects middle-aged subjects more than young and old adults. https://t.co/eyPSMIbLj3

The need for a questionnaire designed especially for midlife is critical, as this population faces unique challenges. In this report, we call for a Delphi expert of health care professionals to develop a physical functional questionnaire for middle age

A new study from our lab finds no association between dynamic balance tasks in individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability. This may be due to altered central neural control and highlights the importance of multiple assessments of postural control

In our recent study, we translated, culturally adapted and modified questionnaire to measure clinician self-efficacy in treating patients with LBP

In our recent study, we showed that Functional Tests performed up to 3 weeks after an acute Ankle Sprain can help Predict Ongoing Ankle Instability

We recently translated into Hebrew four of the most common CAI PROMs, allowing Israeli researchers to use reliable instruments in their studies.

In the following study we show an association between random numbers generation flexibility and gait variability, suggesting similar executive control of verbal and gait rhythmicity in old adults.

Middle age is increasingly recognized as an important time period for assessing balance control. Here we show the importance of the method chosen to calculate stabilization performance after a single-leg drop-jump test.

In our recently published paper in @Human_Kinetics we demonstrated for the first time that backward running on a negative slope may be a feasible treatment method for runners suffering from Achilles tendinopathy.

In our recently published paper in @JACHjournal we demonstrated for the first time that autonomy to choose exercise-therapy may serve as a factor to enhance treatment adherence and clinical outcomes for non specific low back pain among students.
