Comparative Effects of Perturbation and Functional Stabilization Training on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
The main objective of this study is to determine the comparative effects of perturbation and functional stabilization training on pain, balance, and performance in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome(PFPS). Patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the well known causes of anterior knee joint pain. Proximal and distal joint muscle imbalances …

The Effects of Functional Power Training on Frail and Pre-frail Community - Dwelling Older Adults in Singapore
To investigate the efficacy of a 12-week Functional Power Training (FPT) program in pre-frail and frail community-dwelling older adults in Singapore for the management of physical frailty. The proposed study will provide information on the benefits of FPT on physical performances of older adults and help to shape future exercise …

Effects of NMES in Critically Ill Patients
Muscle wasting occurred early and rapidly in critically ill patients. Early therapeutic strategies to either maintain muscle structure and function should be encouraged. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an attractive intervention to maintain muscle mass and strength in critically ill patients during the first week of ICU stay. This study …

Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) in ALS
Participants will be stratified into 2 groups based on baseline inspiratory muscle strength as determined by maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP): six participants with minimal to no respiratory weakness (i.e., MIP 70% predicted) and six participants with mild to moderate inspiratory weakness (i.e., MIP 40-70% predicted).

Progressive Resistance Training for Sarcoma Survivors
Treatments for sarcoma can cause side effects such as fatigue, muscle loss, and weakness, which can negatively impact a patient's ability to physically function and enjoy an independent lifestyle. Engaging in a resistance training exercise routine may improve physical function, body composition, and bone density of sarcoma survivors.

Optimizing Outcomes With Physical Therapy Treatment for IndividuALs Surviving an ICU Admission for Covid-19
Introduction: Survivors of acute respiratory failure develop persistent muscle weakness and deficits in cardiopulmonary endurance combining to limit physical functioning. Early data from the Covid-19 pandemic suggest a high incidence of critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) will require mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure.

BCI-FES Therapy for Stroke Rehabilitation
Despite the best available physiotherapy, 30-60% of stroke survivors remain affected by difficulty walking, with foot weakness often being the main cause. Given that post-stroke gait impairments remain poorly addressed, new methods that can provide lasting improvements are necessary.

Cortico-Spinal tDCS as Rehabilitative Intervention in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, which is a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscles of the body. The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body due to the degeneration of the upper and lower motor …
