Efects of occipital‑atlas stabilization in the upper cervical spine kinematics: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
This study compares upper cervical spine range of motion (ROM) in the three cardinal planes before and after occiput-atlas (C0–C1) stabilization. After the dissection of the superficial structures to ...
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 ...
Normative data and correlation between dynamic knee valgus and neuromuscular response among healthy active males: a cross-sectional study
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The dynamic knee valgus (DKV) during different sport maneuvers has been widely described as risk factor to develop an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Hip and knee muscles seem to have a crucial role ...
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 ...
Precision of ultrasound-guided versus anatomical palpation-guided needle placement of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel: a cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2023)
Percutaneous electrical stimulation has been performed for years with only the assistance of anatomical landmarks. The development of real-time ultrasonography guidance has improved the precision and ...
Correlation between physical performance and stabilometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2022)
Background and Objectives: Falls are a common and serious threat to the health and independence of older adults. The decrease in functional capacity during aging means an increased risk of falls. To ...
Short-term effects of three types of hamstring stretching on length, neurodynamic response, and perceived sense of effort: a randomised cross-over trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: Stretching techniques for hamstring muscles have been described both to increase muscle length and to evaluate nerve mechanosensitivity. Aim: We sought to evaluate the short-term effects of ...
Effects of adding an online exercise program on physical function in individuals hospitalized by COVID-19: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
The worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has impacted all healthcare systems. One potential sequela experienced by hospitalized coronavirus ...
Treatment of the myofascial trigger-points of triceps surae: a systematic review
(ClinMed International Library, 2019)
Background: Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) in the triceps surae muscles are very frequent and their presence may be implicated in pain, such as nocturnal night cramps. These points cause important ...
Effectiveness of a specific manual approach to the suboccipital region in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain and rotation deficit in the upper cervical spine: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
