Translational Myology and Mobility Medicine at the Spring Padua Muscle Days, March 28-30, 2019–Euganei Hills and Padova, Italy

Abstract

Meeting of the EU Center of Active Aging; VII: Early Rehabilitation after knee and hip replacement) were of very high levels and were following by constructive discussions. During the three days and evenings, Speakers and Attendees, in particular young attendees, had the chance to exchange further information and design potential collaborations. A half-century tradition of skeletal muscles studies, started with a research on fever, is thus continuing under the auspices of CIR-Myo, A&C M-C Foundation for Translational Myology, Padova, Italy and the European Journal of Translational Myology (EJTM). Furthermore, during the Meeting were also discussed the contents of an EJTM Special, that will be dedicated to Muscle Fascia, an under looked topic, which merits more attention. The abstracts of the 2019SpPMD, e-printed in the Myology News of EJTM 29, 2019 Volume, are excellent examples of translational research in Myology, Mobility and Medicine. Thanks to the high scientific profiles of the researchers and clinicians who are eager to present results at the PaduaMuscleDays, this was true for the past and it will be true in future events.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in the Home: Compliance Measurements

“…The ability for the human body to perform exercise is made possible by the coordinated actions of muscles and bones in conjunction with other structures such as tendons, ligaments, and in more recent times, fascia [1], all working in a synergistic fashion. Irrespective of any degree of cohesiveness this system may possess, it can be rendered inactive or weakened by a variety of both inherited and congenital diseases, as well as traumatic injury.…”
