“…The gait disorder outcome is observed in terms of impaired balance, limping, and frequent falls. Technically, gait disorders result in changing stride length, plantar pressure, and heel and toe strike instants, measured from sensors placed in socks, shoes, or soles [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The most common sensors used in such wearable systems are an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and pressure sensor array [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Shoe-based wearable sensor systems are a growing research area in health monitoring, disease diagnosis, rehabilitation, and sports training. These systems—equipped with one or more sensors, either of the same or different types—capture information related to foot movement or pressure maps beneath the foot. This captured information offers an overview of the subject’s overall movement, known as the human gait. Beyond sensing, these systems also provide a platform for hosting ambient energy harvesters. They hold the potential to harvest energy from foot movements and operate related low-power devices sustainably. This article proposes two types of strategies (Strategy 1 and Strategy 2) for an energy-autonomous shoe-based system. Strategy 1 uses an accelerometer as a sensor for gait acquisition, which reflects the classical choice. Strategy 2 uses a piezoelectric element for the same, which opens up a new perspective in its implementation. In both strategies, the piezoelectric elements are used to harvest energy from foot activities and operate the system. The article presents a fair comparison between both strategies in terms of power consumption, accuracy, and the extent to which piezoelectric energy harvesters can contribute to overall power management. Moreover, Strategy 2, which uses piezoelectric elements for simultaneous sensing and energy harvesting, is a power-optimized method for an energy-autonomous shoe system.

Background: Pain is the most common symptom for seeking therapeutic alternative to conventional medicine. Trigger points (TrP) being the most debilitating cause of nonspecific neck pain, are found to be more prevalent in trapezius muscle. Various instrument-based and other manual therapy techniques are effective in the treatment of TrP. Objective: To compare the effect of Myofascial Cupping (MFC) and Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) on the upper trapezius latent TrP on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) & cervical range. Method: A randomized trial controlled on 40 individuals aged 20–40 years, both gender with latent TrPs in upper trapezius excluding ones who have taken treatment for upper trapezius TrPs within 6 months. Participants were randomly allocated into 2 groups by chit method, one group received MFC and other INIT. Pre- and post-intervention assessment was done using NPRS, pressure algometer and goniometer. Result: Within group, pain has significantly reduced after MFC and INIT with mean difference of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively ([Formula: see text]). PPT increased in both groups ([Formula: see text]) with mean difference of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Comparison between the groups showed significant difference in pain intensity ([Formula: see text]) suggesting MFC was more effective in reducing pain. However, a PPT ([Formula: see text]=0.606) and neck lateral flexion to the contralateral side of TrP ([Formula: see text]) were not significant. Conclusion: MFC was more effective than INITs in improving pain, however both interventions showed similar effect on PPT and neck lateral flexion on latent TrP in trapezius.

“…The major muscles involved with an anterior pelvic tilt include the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, erector spinae (hip flexors and lumbar extensors while the rectus abdominis, external oblique muscle, gluteus maximus, hamstring muscle (abdominal muscle and hip extensors) enable a posterior pelvic tilt 8 ) . Thus, some of the pelvic muscles are also involved in thoracic movement 9 , 10 ) . For instance, the erector spinae and rectus abdominis control not only pelvic inclination but also the lumbar lordotic curvature 8 , 10 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic tilt angles and lung function in participants performing pelvic tilts on a ball. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen subjects participated in this study. While they performed pelvic tilt on sitting at a ball, the peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured at 10 degrees of anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, respectively, and neutral position. The repeated measure ANOVA was performed, and the Bonferroni correction was used for post-hoc analysis. [Results] The PEF of the participants was significantly higher at neutral position, compared with an anterior pelvic tilt at 10 degrees. The FEV1 was also higher in neutral position, compared with anterior and posterior pelvic tilt. [Conclusion] This study underlines the need for the standardization of the FVC testing protocol for positioning the pelvic angle in a neutral position in patients with respiratory disorders to promote reliable interpretation of intervention outcomes.
