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 ...
Efects of occipital‑atlas stabilization in the upper cervical spine kinematics: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
This study compares upper cervical spine range of motion (ROM) in the three cardinal planes before and after occiput-atlas (C0–C1) stabilization. After the dissection of the superficial structures to ...
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 ...
Thermal and current flow effects of a capacitive–resistive electric transfer application protocol on chronic elbow tendinopathy. A cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2021)
Lateral elbow tendinopathy, or “tennis elbow,” is a pathology that affects around 1.3% of the general population. Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy aims to provoke temperature and current ...
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 ...
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 ...
The effect of Scapular Fixation on scapular and humeral head movements during glenohumeral axial distraction mobilization
(MDPI, 2022)
Background and Objectives: Glenohumeral axial distraction mobilization (GADM) is a usual mobilization technique for patients with shoulder dysfunctions. The effect of scapular fixation on the movement ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis on passive neuromuscular response and mechanosensitivity in athletes with hamstring shortening: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Introduction. Diacutaneous Fibrolysis is defined as specific instrumental intervention to normalize function in the musculoskeletal system. It is considered a treatment method for the mechanical alterations ...
