Is dry needling of the supinator a safe procedure? A potential treatment for lateral epicondylalgia or radial tunnel syndrome. A cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2021)
The supinator muscle is involved in two pain conditions of the forearm and wrist: lateral epicondylalgia and radial tunnel syndrome. Its close anatomical relationship with the radial nerve at the arcade ...
Combination of two manipulative techniques for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Cervicogenic dizziness is clinically associated with upper cervical spine dysfunctions. It seems that manual therapy decreases the intensity of dizziness in these subjects, but what happens to pain ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Interexaminer reliability and validity of quantity of cervical mobility during online dynamic inspection
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: Physical therapists routinely measure range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine. The reliability of the cervical range of motion (CROM) device has been demonstrated in several studies, but ...
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 ...
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 ...
