Reducing muscle protein activity strengthens bone health, study suggests
steogenesis imperfecta (OI), or "brittle bone disorder," is a connective tissue disorder that affects collagen, a protein that makes up much of the body's structure. There are more than 10 different types of OI, and while severity varies from type to type, they all cause some form of increased skeletal fragility, deformity and muscle weakness

Exercise interventions for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain is highly prevalent in middle-aged and older adults and is associated with pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions on pain, function, range of motion (ROM), and strength in middle-aged and older adults with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
