After total knee arthroplasty (TKA), many patients remain at increased risk of falls despite improved pain and mobility. One key but often overlooked factor is postural sway, and more specifically, postural sway complexity, a marker of how well the neuromuscular system adapts to balance challenges. Rather than focusing only on how much a patient sways, this article expl...
Concussion prevention has become a critical issue in modern rugby. Recent scientific data is clear: a 10% increase in neck strength is associated with a 13% reduction in concussion risk.
