Cervical manipulation versus thoracic or cervicothoracic manipulations for the management of neck pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2024)
Background: Cervical and thoracic thrust or non-thrust manipulations have shown to be effective in patients with neck pain, but there is a lack of studies comparing both interventions in patients with ...
Hip range of motion and strength in male athletes with stage 1 osteitis pubis: a cross-sectional and correlational study
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine whether athletes with stage 1 osteitis pubis (OP) present differences in hip range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, between both sides ...
A computer vision-based application for the assessment of head posture: a validation and reliability study
(MDPI, 2023)
As its name implies, the forward head position (FHP) is when the head is further forward of the trunk than normal. This can cause neck and shoulder tension, as well as headaches. The craniovertebral ...
Effects of the manual therapy approach of segments C0-1 and C2-3 in the flexion-rotation test in patients with chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021-01)
Background: Flexion-rotation test predominantly measures rotation in C1-2 segment. Restriction in flexion-rotation may be due to direct limitation in C1-2, but also to a premature tightening of the alar ...
Correlation between neck muscle endurance tests, ultrasonography, and self-reported outcomes in women with low cervical disability and neck pain
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: Neck pain (NP) is a frequent condition in women, characterized by exhibiting distinct clinical manifestations such as the presence of deep neck (DN) muscle weakness. Endurance and ultrasonography ...
Relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and frontal plane kinematics: a cross-sectional study in elite handball athletes
(MDPI, 2022)
Frontal plane kinematics of the lower limb could be especially relevant in the risk of injuries in handball (HB) athletes. An association between lower limb frontal plane kinematics and hip abductor ...
A novel device for assessment and treatment of upper cervical spine: test–retest reliability study
(MDPI, 2023)
Introduction: Neck pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in primary care. Clinicians evaluate different variables, including movement and cervical strength, to determine the prognosis ...
Active school-based interventions to interrupt prolonged sitting improve daily physical activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) is a negative routine for health, especially during advancing age. Promoting an active lifestyle and reducing SB is a global endeavor. The aim of this study was to ...
The effects of soft-tissue techniques and exercise in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy—systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2024)
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is a degenerative clinical disorder that causes load-related pain in the lower pole of the patella or patellar tendon. It predominantly affects young male athletes ...
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 ...
