Influence of Abdominal Muscle Function on Knee Stability for Injury Prevention

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an 8-week core stabilization training program can improve abdominal strength and knee stability in physically active women aged 18 to 35. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does core stabilization training improve abdominal endurance as measured by the Prone Bridge Test? Does this training enhance knee stability as measured by the Lateral Squat Down, Y-Balance Test, and Drop Vertical Jump? Researchers will compare participants' results before and after the intervention to see whether the training program leads to measurable improvements in strength and stability. Participants will: Complete baseline testing of abdominal strength and knee stability using standardized assessments (Prone Bridge Test, Lateral Squat Down, Y-Balance Test, Drop Vertical Jump) recorded with a Vicon motion-capture system. Perform an 8-week supervised core stabilization program that includes front plank, side plank, and Nordic hamstring exercises following a structured progression. Complete the same performance tests again after the intervention.

Evaluation of a Digital Neurorehabilitation Program Using Exergames for Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a semi-autonomous digital telerehabilitation program using therapeutic video games ("exergames") can help improve quality of life and functional independence in older adults living in long-term care centers who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The main questions we want to answer are: Does this exergame-based program help participants move better, walk more safely, and perform daily activities with more independence? Does it improve confidence while moving and lower the fear of falling? Is this program cost-effective compared with a standard one-to-one physiotherapy program? Researchers will compare two groups: Intervention group: participants will use a CE-marked digital rehabilitation platform that provides lower-limb and balance training through interactive exergames. Control group: participants will receive an individual physiotherapy program of similar duration and intensity. Participants will: Take part in a 6-week training program (using exergames or standard physiotherapy, depending on their group). Complete tests that measure mobility, balance, walking while doing a cognitive task (called "dual task"), confidence in avoiding falls, and daily functioning. Answer short questionnaires about well-being and quality of life. This pilot study will help determine whether the exergame-based program is safe, useful, and feasible for older adults with MCI living in long-term care settings.

Acute Effect of Forearm Neuromuscular Taping on Pain, Biological and Functional Variables Post-exercise.

This study aims to evaluate the acute effect of neuromuscular taping applied to the forearm on maximal grip strength, pressure pain threshold, and muscle oxygenation in healthy university athletes after exercise. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the study aims to provide rigorous evidence that will help clarify the potential benefits of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) in a sports context. The relevance of this research lies in providing useful information for health and sports professionals, facilitating informed decision-making regarding the use of this technique in daily practice. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, with participants divided into four groups: two experimental groups, one placebo group, and one control group. One experimental group will receive NMT with proximal-to-distal tension, while the other will receive distal-to-proximal tension. The placebo group will receive NMT without tension, and the control group no NMT application.

Impact of Virtual Reality Physiotherapy on Multiple Sclerosis Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if virtual reality combined with conventional physiotherapy intervention works to treat moderate to severe multiple sclerosis persons. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the application of a virtual reality-based program along with conventional physiotherapy produces improvements compared to the application of conventional physiotherapy and placebo virtual reality in motor aspects of patients with multiple sclerosis? * Does the application of a virtual reality-based program along with conventional physiotherapy produces improvements compared to the application of conventional physiotherapy and placebo virtual reality in cognitive aspects of patients with multiple sclerosis Researchers will compare a virtual reality-based program along with conventional physiotherapy with a placebo virtual reality to see if virtual reality improve motor and cognitive aspects of multiple sclerosis. Participants will: * Visit the clinic twice a week for 10 weeks to receive a 1-hour session of virtual reality and conventional physiotherapy. * Be assessed using various scales and questionnaires at three different times: at the start of the study, at the end of the treatment, and 4 weeks after the study ends.
