Efficacy of a 6-Week Supervised Strengthening Exercise Program with EMG-Biofeedback in Patients with Muscular Dystrophy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

By

SUMMARY Background. Although previous trials investigated the effectiveness of exercise training programs in muscular dystrophy (MD) patients, we faced a lack of evidence on biofeedback. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a 6-week supervised strengthening exercise training program with electromyography-Biofeedback (EMG-BFB) on muscle strength, motor function, and balance of MD patients. … Continued

The Role of Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors in Musculoskeletal Disease

By

SUMMARY Skeletal muscle consists of heterogeneous cell populations that work in concert to support musculoskeletal homeostasis and regeneration in the context of acute injury and chronic disease. In this past decade, the recently discovered sub-population of muscle resident stem cells known as fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis and regenerative response to a number of … Continued
