Clinical Pilates in Practice: FAI Morphology & Adolescent Spine Patients
This study compared spinopelvic parameters in asymptomatic scoliosis and asymptomatic patients with radiographic evidence of femoroacetabular impingement.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Hand Dexterity & Motor Function
This small study compared the dynamic and static motor capacities of each finger among elderly individuals who engaged in hobbies that involved daily use of the hands, and those that did not.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Locomotion & Dynamic Posture
This review article explains the networks that the trunk in vertebrates with limbs, and also how the central nervous system acts dynamically on the musculoskeletal system.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Knee Joint Biomechanics in Transtibial Amputees
This study looked at knee joint biomechanics in a young, healthy population with no activity restrictions, with a focus on energy storage and return (ESAR) prostheses.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Migraines
This Masterclass / review article discusses current literature and clinical practice for physiotherapists working with patients with migraines.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Toe Flexor Strength & Mobility
This study sought elucidate the influence that foot posture has on the relationship between toe flexor strength and functional performance in older adults
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Prediction of Motor Learning
The authors of this paper used an ethological approach to test the hypothesis that practice-related refinements of multiple behavioural features would be independently predictive of motor learning.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Hip-Spine Syndrome
This narrative review explains the mechanism by which abnormal hip pathologies contribute to low back pain in patients without hip osteoarthritis.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Visuomotor Adaptation & Passive Movement
This study examined the lasting effect of passive training on visuomotor adaptation within a 24-hour timeline.
Hernia Repair Outcomes
This article is a comprehensive retrospective review of ventral hernia repair outcomes performed at one facility in the USA.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Learning to Explore
This review focuses on the contributions made by exploratory behaviors to skilled perception and action.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Biomechanics & The Formation of Nervous Tissue
This review is a critical assessment of recent advances in the utilization of mechanical stimuli towards exploiting nervous tissue growth and formation. The authors discuss current in vitro systems designed to restate the mechanical environment of developing neural tissues, and the advancements made in integrating these systems into the clinical setting.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Age & Motor Adaptation
The authors of this study examined the differences in the brain structure and cognition underlying motor adaptation in a population-based cohort.
Shoulder Kinematics & Subacromial Impingement
This literature review examines the relationship between shoulder kinematics and the aetiology of rotator cuff pathology.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Neuroplasticity & Motor Learning in Sport
This is a brief summary of neuronal plasticity and motor learning, particularly as it pertains to physical activity.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Is T9-T12 the Thoracolumbar Transition Zone?
The authors of this retrospective review study hypothesised that the true thoracolumbar junction is T10-11.
Sleep & Motor Memory Consolidation
This meta-analysis compared the effect of sleep gain on motor memory consolidation between sleep and wake groups. The mechanisms by which sleep helps to consolidate motor memory are not fully understood, and further research is still needed in this field.
Biokinetic Analysis of the Foot & Ankle
This literature review argues that clinically we need to observe functional - rather than conventional - biomechanics at the ankle and foot. Functional biomechanics observes that all segments in a joint can be simultaneously mobile.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Choice & Skill Learning
This small study observed the motor learning effects of allowing small choices by individuals.
