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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
