Precision of ultrasound-guided versus anatomical palpation-guided needle placement of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel: a cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2023)
Percutaneous electrical stimulation has been performed for years with only the assistance of anatomical landmarks. The development of real-time ultrasonography guidance has improved the precision and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Validity and reliability of the satel 40 Hz stabilometric force platform for measuring quiet stance and dynamic standing balance in healthy subjects
(MDPI, 2020)
Background: A force platform must have validity and reliability for optimal use. The objective of this study was to analyze the validity and the reliability of the Satel 40 Hz stabilometric force platform. ...
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 ...
