Management of Arthrogenic Muscle Response with Electrotherapy
Arthogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), an ongoing reflex inhibition, safeguards joints after injury by limiting muscle activity via inhibitory interneurons. While pain and disuse contribute to muscle atrophy, mechanoreceptor activity primarily drives AMI. This mechanism impedes joint rehab, causing reduced range of motion, muscle wasting, and weakness. Athletes' return to competition with functional deficits and injury susceptibility is due to AMI's role. Blocking AMI could optimize athlete return post-injury. Academic literature suggest that electrophysical agents (EPAs) are effective in altering arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) due to its therapeutic effect of mitigating inflammation, modulating pain and decreasing joint tightness which leads to accelerated healing and improvement in functional mobility.

Running Gait Analysis with 3D Helix System
Understanding the biomechanics of running unveils crucial insights into optimizing performance and minimizing injury risks. Gait and strength profoundly influence running risks, as poor mechanics strain joints and tissues. Efficient mechanics, conversely, enhance running economy, conserving energy. Vital to this is the role of footwear. Proper shoes provide support, alignment, and cushioning, aligning with individual mechanics. Embracing optimal mechanics, coupled with proper footwear, promotes a balanced, injury-resistant stride, elevating the joy and benefits of running.

Heart Rate Variability Monitoring
HRV measures the time gaps between heartbeats, reflecting cardiovascular adaptability. It's controlled by the autonomic nervous system's sympathetic and parasympathetic balance. Physical therapists use vagus nerve stimulation to enhance parasympathetic activity and HRV. The vagus nerve manages bodily functions, including HRV, through sensory and motor fibers. Vagus nerve stimulation involves electrically stimulating specific nerve areas to modulate autonomic balance, improving HRV and overall function.
