“…The normalization of the distance reached with the leg length was introduced to ensure a better performance result. 29 One researcher performed leg length measurements. A direct measurement method using a tape measure was applied to measure the true leg length from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the medial malleolus of each participant in both legs.…”

The Khon masked dance drama is an authentic Thai classical performance that has been handed down for centuries. The performance has many unique choreographic patterns that are typical of the Southeast Asian performing arts. The Thai Khon masked dance consists of a combination of balance control and limb movement in different rhythms. The grace and beauty of Khon performances are dependent on the precision of the limb movement’s curve, angle, and specific position. The connection between balance control and body movements during performance is crucial. The purpose of this study was to compare postural control between Thai Khon masked dancers and nondancers and explore bilateral asymmetry in postural control during single leg standing between the dominant and non-dominant legs using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Thai Khon masked dancers (n = 25) and nondancers (n = 25) were asked to identify their dominant leg and perform the SEBT using both legs. The reaching distances in different directions from the SEBT were converted to a normalized distance for comparison. A mixed model ANOVA and t-test were applied to determine the differences between directions in both the dominant and non-dominant legs. The interaction between dancer and nondancer groups was also verified. The results showed that dancers performed better on SEBT than nondancers in all directions (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Thai Khon masked dancers demonstrated a superior ability to maintain dynamic postural control during the SEBT. When considering all directions together, the dominant side was not a factor that affected postural control during the SEBT. This study adds further supporting evidence that Khon masked dance training improves dynamic balance control and can possibly be applied as a recreational exercise to promote balance performance.

“…The examiner’s other hand was at the bottom of the lateral tibial plateau as proximal resistance; the tibia was moved distally and internally rotated, while the knee joints were extended. When the subjects performed the knee joint extension pattern, traction and resistance were applied throughout the process using two hands 12 ) .…”

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the immediate effects of neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) on the functional activity level after rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. [Subjects and Methods] Ten young subjects (8 males and 2 females) who underwent ACL reconstruction were included in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups, namely, knee joint extension muscle strength training (MST) group and knee joint extension outside rotation pattern of NJF group. Extension strength was measured in both groups before and after the experiment. Surface electromyography (sEMG) of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles and joint position error (JPE) test of the knee joint were also conducted. [Results] JPE test results and extension strength measurements in the NJF group were improved compared with those in the MST group. Moreover, the average discharge of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles on sEMG in the NJF group was significantly increased after MST and NJF treatments. [Conclusion] The obtained results suggest that NJF training in patients with ACL reconstruction can improve knee proprioception ability and muscle strength.
