Introduction: Evidence on degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) has frequently focussed on surgical management, overlooking the role of non-surgical clinicians. Their contributions in the patient journey remain largely underexplored in the literature. Research question: What is the role of non- ...

Although rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often thought of as a singular state, it consists of two substates, phasic and tonic REM, defined by the presence (respectively absence) of bursts of rapid eye movements. These two substates have distinct EEG signatures and functional properties. However ...

Background: Although individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) show increased fatty infiltration in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM), it remains unclear whether LMM changes are related to clinical outcomes (such as pain and disability) after considering confounders (spinal phenotypes, fear-avoidance beliefs [FABs] and insomnia). This study examined: ...

The cerebellum's involvement in a range of cognitive, emotional, and motor processes has become increasingly evident. Given the uniformity of the cerebellar cortex's cellular architecture its contributions to varied processes are thought be partially mediated by its patterns of reciprocal connectivity with the rest of the brain. A better understan ...

Low back pain (LBP) is a disabling disease and a public health concern. Aquatic exercise is an alternative form of exercise with less spinal loading and difficulty performing movements, benefiting those with pain-related fear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an aquatic exercise prog ...

Children with concussion are injured through a variety of mechanisms, but the relationship between mechanism of injury (MOI) and recovery outcomes is unclear due to small sample sizes and varied methodological designs. Our objective was to examine the association of MOI and clinical recovery in youth with concussion using a large dataset collated from a s ...

The World Health Organization recommends using + 2 SD of body mass index z-score (zBMI) to define overweight/obesity (OWO) in children ages 2 to 5 years whereas + 1 SD is used as cut-point from 5 years onwards. Empirical evidence for using different cut-points across childhood is lacking. Our objective was to compare the ability of OWO in early childhood ...

Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and cerebral pulsatility (CP) are important indicators of cerebrovascular health, which are associated with physical activity (PA). While sex differences influence the impact of PA on cerebrovascular health, sex-specific effects of PA intensity and dose on CP and CVR remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the sex-sp ...

With over 420 million children (aged 0-19 years) worldwide living with overweight or obesity, the "obesity epidemic" or "globesity" is a defining public health challenge of this generation. While significant efforts have been made to address obesity in adults, less attention has been given to the critical issue of childhood overweight and ...
