Effects of the manual therapy approach of segments C0-1 and C2-3 in the flexion-rotation test in patients with chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021-01)
Background: Flexion-rotation test predominantly measures rotation in C1-2 segment. Restriction in flexion-rotation may be due to direct limitation in C1-2, but also to a premature tightening of the alar ...
Does self-myofascial release cause a remote hamstring stretching effect based on myofascial chains? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The hamstring muscles are described as forming part of myofascial chains or meridians, and the superficial back line (SBL) is one such chain. Good hamstring flexibility is fundamental to ...
Accuracy and safety of dry needling placement in the popliteus muscle: a cadaveric study
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021)
Background: The popliteus muscle attaches posteriorly to the joint capsule of the knee. Although it is an important rotational stabiliser and has been implicated in various knee pathologies, research ...
Thermal and non-thermal effects of capacitive–resistive electric transfer application on different structures of the knee: a cadaveric study
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy is used in physical rehabilitation and sports medicine to treat muscle, bone, ligament and tendon injuries. The purpose is to analyze the temperature change ...
Temperature and current flow effects of different electrode placement in shoulder capacitive-resistive electric transfer applications: a cadaveric study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Background: Impingement syndrome is currently estimated to represent 60% of all shoulder pain disorders. Capacitive-Resistive electric transfer therapy is aimed to provoke temperature and current flow ...
Biceps femoris activation during hamstring strength exercises: a systematic review
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate the biceps femoris long head activation across cross-sectional hamstring strength exercise studies. Methods: A systematic review design ...
Effects of dry needling of latent trigger points on viscoelastic and muscular contractile properties: preliminary results of a randomized within-participant clinical trial
(MDPI, 2021)
This study aimed to evaluate changes in neuromuscular function and pain perception in latent trigger points (TrPs) in the gastrocnemius muscle after a single session of dry needling. A randomized ...
Effects of a massage protocol in tensiomyographic and myotonometric proprieties
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Pre-competition massage is usually used to improve athletic performance and reduce risk of injury. Despite its usual use, the effects of pre-competition massage on neuromuscular function ...
Does upper cervical manual therapy provide additional benefit in disability and mobility over a physiotherapy primary care program for chronic cervicalgia? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
Introduction: Neck pain is a condition with a high incidence in primary care. Patients with chronic neck pain often experience reduction in neck mobility. However, no study to date has investigated the ...
Effects of using the surgical mask and FFP2 during the 6-min walking test. A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks has been recommended as a containment measure. The mask is a hindrance to normal breathing that causes discomfort. This could put more work on the respiratory ...
