Study on Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT): A Comparative Overview with and without Neuromuscular Ankle Bandage | Chapter 13 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 Prospective study with a basic crossover design.

Background: Maintaining joint and postural stability relies heavily on proprioception. Within these components, dynamic stability is highlighted in particular. In the realm of rehabilitation, this feature is critical. As a result, looking for items to improve these characteristics can provide benefits in sports. The Star Excursion Balance Test is designed to assess lower extremity stability, rehabilitation progress, and injury-related deficits in order to identify athletes who are at a higher risk of future injuries.

Objectives: Determine whether Kinesio taping improves the performance of a Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).

Methods: Ten professional soccer players from Chile's women's national team were evaluated. They were divided into two groups at random. Kinesio taping was applied to one group, and their SEBT performance was assessed. The measurements were taken by the other group without the use of Kinesio Taping. Following that, each group completed the evaluation that they had not completed during the previous round. The performance attained with and without Kinesio Taping was then compared.

Results: There were substantial variations in performance between the players who used the SEBT bandage and those who did not. The non-parametric Wilcox test was used to check this for each of the SEBT positions.

Conclusions: Kinesio taping has been found to be beneficial in the SEBT. We can deduce that its application will improve dynamic balance, making it an important pillar in sports recovery.

Study on Six-degree of Freedom Mathematical Dynamic Model of a Light Sport Aircraft | Chapter 5 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol. 1

 The research proposes a six-degree-of-freedom mathematical model of a light sport aircraft that shows both longitudinal and lateral-directional stability analytically. The aerodynamic model equations are made up of both the kinematics equations of motion and the kinetics equations of aerodynamic forces and moments. The perturbed dynamic system's responses at trim demonstrate dynamic stability of both the short-period pitching oscillation and the phugoid in longitudinal axis, according to simulation results. In lateral-directional axes, the spiral, roll subsidence, and dutch roll modes are all dynamically stable. Before undertaking an operational flight test, these are required to understand and evaluate the dynamic behaviour, stability, safety, and other characteristics of the intended aircraft using a mathematical model.
