Telerehabilitation, as an effective means of treatment, is not inferior to traditional rehabilitation, and solves the problem of many patients who do not have access to hospital-based training due to costs and distance. So far, the knowledge structure of the global use of telerehabilitation has not been formed. This study aimed to demonstrate the state of emerging trends and frontiers concerning the studies of telerehabilitation through bibliometric software.

 Individuals with knee osteoarthritis are at higher risk for falls during transitions between floor and stair walking due to their reduced lower extremity function. However, the adjust gait characteristics of knee osteoarthritis subjects for dealing with stair transitions have not been explored. We aimed to investigate gait strategies in individuals with knee osteoarthritis compared to age-matched individuals without knee OA during the transition between walking on floor and stairs.  Gait of 30 individuals with knee osteoarthritis and 30 individuals without knee osteoarthritis during floor-to-stair and stair-to-floor walking transitions were accessed using a 3D motion capture system. Foot-tread clearance, and angles of lower extremity joints and trunk at Foot-tread clearance timepoint were analyzed by using biomechanical software (Visual 3D).  Compared with asymptomatic control group, the knee osteoarthritis group demonstrated no difference in vertical Foot-tread clearance and horizontal Foot-tread clearance during stair transitions. However, ankle dorsiflexion ( = 0.01) decreased, hip flexion ( = 0.02) and trunk lateral tilt ( = 0.02) increased in knee osteoarthritis group during the stair ascent transition. Moreover, trunk lateral tilt to the support side ( = 0.003) and pelvic rotation ( = 0.03) increased, while hip abduction of the swing leg ( = 0.03) decreased during the stair descent transition in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.  Increased trunk lateral tilt and altered angle of hip may be a strategy utilized by individuals with knee OA to increase the foot clearance ability and compensate for the disease-related loss of lower extremity strength, range of motion, and balance. However, compensatory manifestations, such as the increased lateral tilt of the trunk and movement of the gravity center may enhance the risk of falls and result in more abnormal knee joint loading.

Gait strategies for individuals with knee osteoarthritis when transitioning between floor and stair walking.

Exercise is an effective method for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia, which can improve skeletal muscle mass, strength and physical function in individuals with sarcopenia to varying degrees. Moreover, exercise has an important role in improving ability to perform daily activities and quality of life on sarcopenia. In this study, articles and review articles on exercise interventions for sarcopenia from January 2003 to July 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection. Then, the number of annual publications, journal/cited journal, country, institution, author/cited author, references and keywords were analyzed using CiteSpace 6.1.R2. A total of 5,507 publications were collected and the number of publications increasing each year. Experimental Gerontology was the most productive journal and the most cited journal was J GERONTOL A-BIOL. The United States of America was the most influential country with the largest number of publications and centrality. Maastricht University in the Netherlands is the most productive institution. The author VAN LOON LJC has the highest ranking in terms of publications and CRUZ-JENTOFT A is ranked first in terms of cited authors. The most frequently occurring keywords in the field of exercise interventions for sarcopenia are "skeletal muscle," "exercise," "body composition," "strength," and "older adult"; the keyword "elderly men" showed the strongest explosive intensity. The keywords formed 6 clusters, namely "skeletal muscle," "muscle strength," "heart failure," "muscle protein synthesis," "insulin resistance" and "high-intensity interval training." In conclusion, this study demonstrates a new perspective on the current state of research and trends in exercise interventions for sarcopenia over the past 20 years  the visualization software CiteSpace. It may help researchers to identify potential collaborators and partner institutions, hotspots and research frontiers in the field of exercise interventions for sarcopenia.

Research hotspots and trends of exercise for sarcopenia: A bibliometric analysis.

 With the global prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an increasing number of people are experiencing respiratory discomfort. Respiratory biomechanics can monitor breathing patterns and respiratory movements and it is easier to prevent, diagnose, treat or rehabilitate. However, there is still a lack of global knowledge structure in the field of respiratory biomechanics. With the help of CiteSpace software, we aim to help researchers identify potential collaborators and collaborating institutions, hotspots and research frontiers in respiratory biomechanics.  Articles on respiratory biomechanics from 2003 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection by using a specific strategy, resulting a total of 2,850 publications. We used CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze the year of publication, journal/journals cited, country, institution, author/authors cited, references, keywords and research trends. Co-citation maps were created to visually observe research hot spots and knowledge structures.  The number of annual publications gradually increased over the past 20 years. Medical Physics published the most articles and had the most citations in this study. The United States was the most influential country, with the highest number and centrality of publications. The most productive and influential institution was Harvard University in the United States. Keall PJ was the most productive author and MCCLELLAND JR was the most cited authors The article by Keall PJ (2006) article (cocitation counts: 55) and the article by McClelland JR (2013) were the most representative and symbolic references, with the highest cocitation number and centrality, respectively. The top keywords were "radiotherapy", "volume", and "ventilation". The top Frontier keywords were "organ motion," "deep inspiration," and "deep learning". The keywords were clustered to form seven labels. Currently, the main area of research in respiratory biomechanics is respiratory motion related to imaging techniques. Future research may focus on respiratory assistance techniques and respiratory detection techniques. At the same time, in the future, we will pay attention to personalized medicine and precision medicine, so that people can monitor their health status anytime and anywhere.

Postural control and respiration are closely integrated processes vital for stability in older adults. Although Tai Chi emphasizes coordinated breath and movement, quantitative evidence comparing neuromuscular and biomechanical adaptations between long-term and beginner practitioners remains limited. This study systematically examined differences in breathing regulation and postural control during Tai Chi movements across the two groups.
