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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of a massage protocol in tensiomyographic and myotonometric proprieties
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Pre-competition massage is usually used to improve athletic performance and reduce risk of injury. Despite its usual use, the effects of pre-competition massage on neuromuscular function ...
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 ...
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 ...
In vitro upper cervical spine kinematics: rotation with combined movements and its variation after alar ligament transection
(Elsevier, 2022)
Previous studies indicate that maximum upper cervical axial rotation occurs only through a combination of transverse, frontal, and sagittal plane motions. This study explores the relationship between ...
Effect of diacutaneous fibrolysis on the muscular properties of gastrocnemius muscle
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a noninvasive technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as shoulder pain, lateral epicondylalgia, patellofemoral pain ...
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 ...
