Intersegmental kinematics of the upper cervical spine: normal range of motion and its alteration after alar ligament transection
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2021)
Study Design: Biomechanical study using cadaveric cervical spines. Objective: To evaluate joint mobility and stiffness at the craniovertebral junction.Summary of Background Data: Data on the intersegmental ...
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 ...
The supporting role of the teres major muscle, an additional component in glenohumeral stability? An anatomical and radiological study
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Muscle coordination plays an important role in glenohumeral stability. The rotator cuff and the long head of the biceps are considered the primary dynamic stabilizers muscles. However, the fact that a ...
Neuromuscular response what is it and how to measure it?
(Scientific Literature, 2019)
The neuromuscular response or neuromuscular function is a set of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties about the muscular and fascia tissue. These characteristics are fundamental for the rehabilitation ...
Treatment of the myofascial trigger-points of triceps surae: a systematic review
(ClinMed International Library, 2019)
Background: Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) in the triceps surae muscles are very frequent and their presence may be implicated in pain, such as nocturnal night cramps. These points cause important ...
How to avoid injuries of the superior gluteal nerve
(Sage Journals, 2018)
Background: Injuries to the superior gluteal nerve are a common complication in hip replacement surgery. They can be avoided with a good anatomical knowledge of the course of the superior gluteal nerve. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Feasibility of 3D-printed models of the proximal femur to real bone: a cadaveric study
(Sage Journals, 2018)
Introduction: 3D technology has increased popularity during the past decade due to recent advancements and has been described as a useful tool in several fields of medicine including orthopaedic surgery. ...
Does upper cervical manual therapy provide additional benefit in disability and mobility over a physiotherapy primary care program for chronic cervicalgia? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
Introduction: Neck pain is a condition with a high incidence in primary care. Patients with chronic neck pain often experience reduction in neck mobility. However, no study to date has investigated the ...
