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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Does the addition of manual therapy approach to a cervical exercise program improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic neck pain in short -and mid-term? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2020)
Chronic neck pain is one of today’s most prevalent pathologies. The International Classification of Diseases categorizes four subgroups based on patients’ associated symptoms. However, this classification ...
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 ...
Students’ perceptions, engagement and satisfaction with the use of an e-rubric for the assessment of manual skills in physiotherapy
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Introduction: In recent years, formative assessment has gained importance in health care education to facilitate and enhance learning throughout the training period. Within the frame of active methodologies, ...
Correlation between physical performance and tensiomyographic and myotonometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: To examine the correlation between physical performance and muscle strength and the variables obtained from tensiomyography and myotonometry. Methods: Fifty-two older adults able to complete ...
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 ...
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 ...
