Journal Article
Changes of improvement in upper limb function predict surgical outcome after laminoplasty in 1 year in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy: a retrospective study
Abstract Background Cervical spondylotic myelopathy preoperative prognostic factors include age, preoperative severity, and disease duration. However, there are no reports on the relationship between changes in physical function during hospitalization and postoperative course, and in recent years…

Walking exercise combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation of antagonist resistance improved muscle strength and physical function for elderly people: A pilot study
Both aerobic exercise and resistance exercise are recommended to enhance health in elderly people. A hybrid training system (HTS), that provides resistance to the motion of a volitionally contracting agonist muscle by electrically stimulating its antagonist, was developed as a resistance exercise…

Electrically stimulated eccentric contraction during non-weight bearing knee bending exercise in the supine position increases oxygen uptake: A randomized, controlled, exploratory crossover trial
It is well known that prolonged bed rest induces muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular deconditioning, bone loss, a loss of functional capacity, and the development of insulin resistance. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is anticipated to be an interventional strategy for disuse due…

Electrically Stimulated Antagonist Muscle Contraction Increased Muscle Mass and Bone Mineral Density of One Astronaut - Initial Verification on the International Space Station
Background: Musculoskeletal atrophy is one of the major problems of extended periods of exposure to weightlessness such as on the International Space Station (ISS). We developed the Hybrid Training System (HTS) to maintain an astronaut’s musculoskeletal system using an electrically stimulated…

Iliac intramedullary stabilization for Type IIIA fragility fractures of the pelvis
Abstract There have been few reports on fixation of Rommens classification Type IIIA fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs). Here, we present our less invasive surgical technique, called iliac intramedullary stabilization (ILIS), for the internal fixation of Type IIIA FFPs. The technique involves…

Blood brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with sequelae of carbon-monoxide poisoning 60 years after a coal-dust explosion: A cross-sectional study
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in patients with long-term sequelae of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are unknown. We examined the blood BDNF levels in patients long after CO poisoning, controlling for aging. We included 14 patients (median [range] age, 83 [80–90] years) affected by…

MAFLD associated with COPD via systemic inflammation independent of aging and smoking in men
Abstract Background and aim Metabolic dysfunction and associated systemic inflammation are risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD is highly prevalent in men. We investigated the impact of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and MAFLD-related systemic…

Lower Limb Phase Angle Correlates Most with Locomotive Syndrome and Walking Function in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Retrospective Study
Introduction: Locomotive syndrome is characterized by reduced mobility due to musculoskeletal disorders. Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) primarily causes locomotive syndrome, and its severity is associated with its progression. The phase angle (PhA) has gained attention as an indicator of physical…

Sixty Years After a Coal Mine Disaster: Serum Metabolomic Profiles in Older Adults with Long-Term Sequelae of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Survivors with chronic sequelae of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after the 1963 Miike–Mikawa coal mine disaster can exhibit persistent higher brain dysfunction in late life. We examined whether serum metabolic alterations remained detectable ~60 years later and assessed serum…

Effect of Cycling Exercise Resisting Electrically Stimulated Antagonist Muscle Contractions in Healthy Males
A hybrid training system (HTS) combining antagonist muscle electrical stimulation and voluntary muscle contraction has been developed using eccentric antagonist muscle contractions with electrical stimulation as resistance to voluntary muscle contractions. We devised an exercise method using HTS…

Association between Activity and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Data-Mining Analysis
Reduction in activity links to the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to regulate an activity. We aimed to investigate the association between reduction in activity and BDNF in patients with NAFLD using…

Direct insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament tibial attachment and its relationship with the medial meniscus: A histological study
Abstract Purpose In this study, we aimed to identify the direct insertion of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) using histological examination and evaluate its anatomical relationship with the medial meniscus (MM). Methods Twenty‐one formalin‐fixed cadaveric knees were…

Balance dysfunction the most significant cause of in-hospital falls in patients taking hypnotic drugs: A retrospective study
Purpose: Preventing falls in patients is one of the most important concerns in acute hospitals. Balance disorder and hypnotic drugs lead to falls. The Standing Test for Imbalance and Disequilibrium (SIDE) is developed for the evaluation of static standing balance ability. There have been no reports…
