Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of tai chi muscle power training, tai chi alone, muscle power training alone, and no training on improving the limits of stability, motor and leg muscular performance, and reducing falls in children with developmental coordination disorder. The results showed that both tai chi and muscle power training were effective in increasing knee muscle strength and reducing the number of falls.

Summary: This study investigated whether self-administered 4x4-min HIIT guided by a smartphone app could achieve similar effects as standard supervised HIIT in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The results showed that both supervised and app-guided HIIT led to increased VO2max and improvements in health-related quality of life for the patients, with no significant differences between the two groups.

Summary: In this study, a tactile sensation assisted motor imagery training method is proposed to improve the performance of MI-based BCI. The training group received training with tactile stimulation, while the control group performed regular tasks. The results showed that the proposed training method significantly improved the performance of motor imagery.

Summary: The study indicates that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is more effective in treating OCD compared to stress management training, with significant efficacy. Despite limitations such as a small sample size and high attrition rate in the control group, future research should compare the efficacy of MBCT with CBT and examine the sustainability of change in longitudinal studies.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial compared the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic surgery and open surgery for treating patients with low rectal cancer. The results showed that laparoscopic surgery performed by experienced surgeons provided comparable pathologic outcomes to open surgery, with a higher sphincter preservation rate and shorter duration of hospitalization.
