Exploring the Impact of Phototherapy on Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Recovery

Intense bouts of physical activity, such as high-volume sprinting and sudden decelerations, have the potential to cause exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and a decline in performance. Phototherapy (PhT), which is also referred to as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a novel approach believed to aid in the recuperation process after strenuous exercise. The focus of this article is on a recent research study that examines the impact of phototherapy on functional movements and individuals' perceptions of muscle soreness subsequent to experiencing EIMD.

The Impact of Low-Intensity Laser Therapy on Muscle Performance in Spastic Hemiparetic Patients

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), also known as strokes, can have a significant impact on individuals, often causing issues with limb function and affecting sensory, language, and motor skills. The search for effective treatments to minimize the effects of strokes has resulted in notable progress in different therapeutic methods. Among these, low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) stands out as a promising approach that has demonstrated considerable potential in improving muscle function and decreasing muscle fatigue in patients with spastic hemiparesis.
