Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Health promotion is an active motivated behavior and the main concept in the aspect of preventive medicine. Among the scope of health promotion, movement is a very important element. It is well known that a better, healthy life can be achieved through active movement or regular exercise. However, different populations, e.g., the elderly, children, pregnant or menopause women, obese individuals, those suffering from a chronic disease, etc.., must carry out different types of exercise with a different level of intensity to achieve a better result and reduce their risk of injury. In addition, identifying ways to support these groups and to prevent exercise-caused injury is a key issue if we want to turn regular exercise into a habit among these populations. 

This Special Issue seeks papers with up-to-date research on physical rehabilitation and sports medicine of human movement. It will include applications in exercise instruction or injury prevention for different populations and methods to encourage engagement in healthy habits through movement in daily life. Papers that consider how to apply changes to the environment or how to help certain populations to become accustomed to these changes that can influence movement habits and have an impact on public health are particularly of interest.

This Special Issue is on the subject area of Physical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine of Human Movement. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.

Exercise rehabilitation services connecting hospitals and communities increase patient participation and improve quality of life by reducing medical expenses. South Korea’s multi-ministerial governments have been working together to develop ICT-based hospital-community-linked services to create an exercise program that the public can easily use. This study aims to develop the exercise rehabilitation service components for the application and prescription of ICT-based exercise programs implemented in hospitals and communities. A literature review was conducted, and an expert committee was comprised to classify the components of exercise rehabilitation services. As a result, we classified the first components as functional classification, rehabilitation area, equipment uses, exercise type, frequency, and intensity. Subsequently, exercise programs were developed by applying the first components. Based on the purpose of exercise rehabilitation, we classified the representative standard exercise and grouped the same exercise movements using tools and exercise machines. The finding of this study will help to give the correct exercise prescription and manage patients’ improvement process for exercise instructors. In addition, it guides patients in need of exercise rehabilitation to participate in an accurate and safe exercise in the community. This study is a novel attempt to develop ICT based hospital-community-linked exercise rehabilitation service for patients. Full article

Objective: To investigate the effects of a 6-week integrated training program on the ankle joint reposition sense and postural stability in ballet dancers. Methods: Sixteen female ballet dancers participated in the study and underwent a 6-week integrated training program consisting of plyometric, proprioception and core stability exercises along with a home program involving additional ankle muscle strengthening and stretching. The ankle joint reposition tests and the parameters of the center of pressure (COP) while performing grand-plie (deep squatting) and releve en demi-pointe (standing on balls of foot) movements were measured before and after training. Results: After 6 weeks, participants showed significantly smaller absolute ankle joint reposition errors in dorsiflexion (p = 0.031), plantarflexion (p = 0.003) and eversion (p = 0.019) compared to the pre-training measurement. Furthermore, after training, a significantly slower average COP speed at pre-equilibrium during grand-plie movement (p = 0.003) and pre-equilibrium phase of releve en demi-pointe (p = 0.023) were observed. In addition, the maximum COP displacement in the medial-lateral direction was significantly smaller at pre-equilibrium phase during grand-plie (p = 0.044) and releve en demi-pointe movements (p = 0.004) after training. Conclusions: The 6-week integrated training program improved the ankle joint reposition sense and postural control in the medial-lateral direction during grand-plie and releve en demi-pointe movements.
