Study on balance and postural control sccording to the stabilometry in indoor skydivers: a cross-sectional study
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: The wind tunnel is a compression cabin through which a stream of air rises homogeneously, generated by fans. To perform different acrobatics, indoor skydivers have to change their body ...
Effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis in patients with tension-type headache: a randomized controlled trial
(Public Library of Science, 2023)
Background: Manual therapy appears to be effective for the relief of tension-type headache (TTH), just as diacutaneous fibrolysis (DF) has shown to be a beneficial technique for the relief of symptoms ...
Foam rolling vs. proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching in the hamstring flexibility of amateur athletes: control trials
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: the use of stretching techniques in the sports world is frequent and common thanks to their many effects. One of the main benefits of stretching is an increased range of motion (ROM). Recently, ...
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 ...
Effects of occipital-atlas stabilization on the upper cervical spine rotation combinations: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2023)
The purpose of this study is to compare axial rotation range of motion for the upper cervical spine during three movements: axial rotation, rotation + flexion + ipsilateral lateral bending and ...
Effect of load distribution on trunk muscle activity with lunge exercises in amateur athletes: cross-sectional study
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: The effect of load distribution applied to the trunk musculature with lunge exercises has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of load placement using ...
Effectiveness of a multicomponent training program on physical performance and muscle quality in older adults: a quasi-experimental study
(MDPI, 2023)
Aging is associated with a decrease in functional capacity, manifested by a loss of strength, physical performance and muscle quality. Multicomponent training (MCT), characterized by the combination of ...
Correlation between power elbow flexion and physical performance test: a potential predictor for assessing physical performance in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: With the increasing number of older adults and their declining motor and cognitive function, it is crucial to find alternative methods for assessing physical functionality. The Short Physical ...
Quadriceps and gluteus medius activity during stable and unstable loading exercises in athletes. A cross-sectional study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2023)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the muscle activation of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and gluteus medius during different strength and stability exercises with a water tank compared with ...
