Background: Physical therapists routinely measure range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine. The reliability of the cervical range of motion (CROM) device has been demonstrated in several studies, but ...

Background: Percutaneous electrolysis is an invasive physical therapy technique that is receiving attention. The objective of this article is to evaluate the biological and cellular effects of percutaneous ...

Background: Although several studies have compared muscle activity in ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ shoulders, studying ‘healthy’ shoulders alone could improve the understanding of shoulder biomechanics. ...

Aging is associated with a decrease in functional capacity, manifested by a loss of strength, physical performance and muscle quality. Multicomponent training (MCT), characterized by the combination of ...

Background/Objectives: Percutaneous electrolysis is a physiotherapeutic technique based on the application of galvanic current to induce structural and biochemical changes in musculoskeletal tissues. ...

Percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) consists of the ultrasound-guided application of a galvanic electrical current through a solid filament needle. One proposed therapeutic mechanism for this ...

Background: Percutaneous electrolysis (PE) is an emerging therapeutic approach for tendinopathies, applying a galvanic current through a dry-needling needle to induce regenerative tissue responses. ...

Background and Objectives: Falls are a common and serious threat to the health and independence of older adults. The decrease in functional capacity during aging means an increased risk of falls. To ...

Introducción: Las técnicas mínimamente invasivas guiadas por ecografía han demostrado un notable crecimiento en Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología. Sin embargo, su aprendizaje presenta una elevada ...

For decades, needling interventions have been performed based on manual palpation and anatomic knowledge. The increasing use of real-time ultrasonography in clinical practice has improved the accuracy ...
