“…In recent decades, the range of biomedical application of lasers has extended significantly and shifted from surgical instruments [1] and physiotherapeutic techniques [2,3] towards the treatment of neoplastic diseases [4,5] and manipulations in cellular and molecular medicine [6]. The latter requires a deeper understanding of mechanisms of laser radiation interaction with biological structures.…”

The mechanism responsible for the oxidative stress due to photobiomodulation induced by 1265 nm laser is still unclear. Mitochondria are assumed to be the most probable acceptors of the 1265 nm laser irradiation. We study oxidative stress, mitochondrial potential, GSH, cell viability, DNA damage. We demonstrated that narrowband (highcoherent) and wideband lasers employed at the doses of 9.45 and 66.6-400 J/cm2, respectively, induce a dose-dependent cell death, increase ROS level, disturb mitochondrial functioning and can damage DNA. Thus, the 1265 nm lasers can affect the HCT116 cells through mitochondrial damage. Energy density increase contributes to cell damaging without heating effects.

“…Rehabilitation is very important after injuries or surgical repair. Despite the existen rehabilitation protocols [6] there is no evidence of validated functional protocols that emulate the specific motor task. Moreover, for football players, rehabilitation is seldom complete [7] giving rise to unwanted sequelae.…”

“…To foster quantitative evaluation of rehabilitation further the efficiency of sports traini developed CINARTRO [8] to quantify movement, CINAR-3D [9] to esti rotation and DINABANG [10] to measure motor task force for hamstring strains avoidance during guided exercise. To this end, DINABANG is able to measure angular velocity, force and Santos et al;JSRR,23 (6): 1-8, 2019; Article no.…”

Aims: The establishment of normal values for the hamstring flexibility and isometric posterior thigh force of healthy adults performing standard motor task consisting of acting against a rubber band in the supine position. Study Design: Observation and ecological. Place and Duration of Study: During a Sports Medicine three days event (Congreso DePunta) in Uruguay, September 2018. Methodology: Random samples of 21 men and 16 women practicing different sport activities were asked to have their biomechanics properties measured by DINABANG, which is a novel clinical instrument to guide lower limb rehabilitation. DINABANG measures the force signal during the following specific motor task: in supine position, consists of hip flexion with fully extended knee and with malleolus attached to a rubber band held by the Physical Therapist behind the head of the person, until further effort would lift the person from the mat. Results: Normal values for body weight specific peak force during isometric effort with extended limb in supine position and malleolus strap tied to an elastic band are (mean ± SD) 1.7 ± 0.4 / 1.9 ± 0.5 N•Kg-1 for men and 2.1 ± 0.5 / 2.3 ± 0.5 N•Kg-1 for women and weak/strong limb respectively. The volunteer-defined flexibility angles of the healthy young populations (21 men and 16 women) were found to be 67.5° ± 6.5° and 77.5°± 9.7° merging the distributions of both lower limbs, strong and weak. Conclusion: These values will be included in subsequent versions of DINABANG to be used in clinical practice to help avoiding muscle strains by quantifying efforts during rehabilitation under Physical Therapist monitoring. DINABANG allows to safely perform a motor task in the medical office. It can be said that DINABANG is compatible with an ecological approach to rehabilitation.

BackgroundThe effect of hamstring flexibility on the peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting, until now, remained unknown, which limited our understanding of risk factors of hamstring muscle strain injury (hamstring injury). As a continuation of our previous study, this study was aimed to examine the relationship between hamstring flexibility and peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting.MethodsTen male and 10 female college students participated in this study. Hamstring flexibility, isokinetic strength data, three-dimensional (3D) kinematic data in a hamstring isokinetic test, and kinematic data in a sprinting test were collected for each participant. The optimal hamstring muscle lengths and peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting were determined for each participant.ResultsThe muscle strain of each of the 3 biarticulated hamstring muscles reached a peak during the late swing phase. Peak hamstring muscle strains were negatively correlated to hamstring flexibility (0.1179 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.4519, p = 0.001) but not to hip and knee joint positions at the time of peak hamstring muscle strains. Peak hamstring muscle strains were not different for different genders. Peak muscle strains of biceps long head (0.071 ± 0.059) and semitendinosus (0.070 ± 0.055) were significantly greater than that of semimembranosus (0.064 ± 0.054).ConclusionA potential for hamstring injury exists during the late swing phase of sprinting. Peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting are negatively correlated to hamstring flexibility across individuals. The magnitude of peak muscle strains is different among hamstring muscles in sprinting, which may explain the different injury rate among hamstring muscles.
