Benefits of running barefoot
Dr. Stuart Warden, director research, department of Physical Therapy and an associate professor at the Indianapolis University said that athletes who experience frequent injuries while running and face difficulties in recovering through the help of rehabilitation may like to switch over to barefoot running.

The training includes simple techniques of helping the newborn start breathing and keeping it snug and clean can help in slashing the increasing rate of stillbirths in developing and poor countries of the world.

Dr Waldemar Carlo and his contemporaries from the Division of Neonatology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham initiated the present study that was funded by grants from the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The research initiated by Dr Jan Mehrholz and his colleagues from the Wissenschaftliches Institute in Kreischa, Germany suggests that working out on the treadmill could be used to improve gait hypokinesia in Parkinson’s patients.

Gait hypokinesia is a movement disorder that affects people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and results in slowing the movements.

Leader of the study, Dr Jan Mehrholz, informs, “Treadmill training appears to be a safe and effective way of improving gait in patients with Parkinson's disease.”
