Dry needling for hypertonia and spasticity (DNHS) is a technique used decreasing the improvement of function in patients with damage to central nervous system. There limited evidence supporting effectiveness this on basis objective assessments. The aim present case report was quantify effects dry (DNHS technique) contractile properties spastic muscles an individual stroke. DNHS applied 50-year-old male 2.5 years after stroke who had complaint spasticity. treated were biceps brachii, triceps...
Introduction Physical activity offers numerous benefits that improve psychological well-being, reduce dependency, and foster intergenerational relationships. Universities play a key role in promoting the health of students by proposing actions contribute to sustainable future, fostering mature society reducing ageism. This service-learning project aimed assess impact an cane-walking program on older adults physiotherapy community setting. The focused Methods A concurrent, nested...
Service-learning (S-L) is an educational method that enhances social and civic engagement among health science students, addressing unmet community needs. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSKD) represent a public issue with increasing prevalence school-aged population as reported by at least 1 on 5 children. Prevention programs for MSKD in schools are scarce, although evidence supports the efficacy of education provided physical therapists. This study aimed to evaluate impact musculoskeletal...
Background and Clinical Significance: Post COVID-19 Condition is a recently recognized syndrome characterized by the persistence of various symptoms, including dyspnea, physical mental fatigue, post-exertional malaise. Currently, there no established treatment or clear consensus on effectiveness rehabilitation. In addition, asynchronous telerehabilitation may be an option to reach more population with persistent COVID symptoms. Therefore, it necessary show efficacy this telematic approach...
Background: Post COVID-19 Condition is a recently recognized syndrome characterized by the persistence of various symptoms, including dyspnea, physical and mental fatigue, post-exertional malaise. Currently, there no established treatment or clear consensus on effectiveness rehabilitation, given that patients could benefit from home-based telerehabilitation, defined as remote rehabilitation using telematic systems, may be an option to reach more population with persistent symptoms....
Background and Clinical Significance: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a global health challenge with significant postoperative complications functional declines. Telerehabilitation offers an accessible alternative to improve preoperative physical condition recovery. Case Presentation: Five CRC patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery participated in asynchronous telerehabilitation multimodal program, including two weeks of prehabilitation four rehabilitation. Delivered via digital...
Background It is estimated that at least 10% of the population infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop Post COVID Condition, which characterized by a diverse array symptoms including dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and deterioration in quality life. The virus can trigger an excessive immune response, release pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1, TNFα reactive oxygen species. Specialized Pro Resolving Mediators (SPMs) (17-HAD, 14-HAD 18_HEPE) could be useful Condition modulating inflammatory...
ABSTRACT Introduction Home‑based rehabilitation has emerged as a practical solution for post‑acute phase COVID‑19 recovery, but patient perspectives on the different modalities remain underexplored. Objective To explore participants' perceptions and experiences after 12‑week multimodal program delivered via asynchronous telerehabilitation versus booklet discharge to identify preferred format. Methods Qualitative descriptive study with two face‑to‐face focus groups of post‐discharge COVID‐19...

Background: Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Europe, represents one most common causes disability adult patients, and involves considerable short- long-term social healthcare costs. The effectiveness deep dry needling (DDN) on affected arm functionality was assessed throughout 8 weeks treatment patients with stroke subacute phase. Methods: Eighty were included this two-group non-randomised study after a propensity score analysis carried out. Both groups received standard...
Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the short-term effects dry needling on spasticity, gait, and muscle architecture patients with chronic stroke.Methods A case series designed; six stroke ankle spasticity gait impairment received a single session for gastrocnemius medialis, lateralis, soleus muscles. main outcome measures were Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS), Timed Up Go test (TUG). In addition, ultrasonography measurements (e.g. thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length)...
Dry needling is a non-pharmacological approach that has proven to be effective in different neurological conditions.The aim of this study was evaluate the cost-effectiveness single dry session patients with chronic stroke.A analysis performed based on randomized controlled clinical trial. The results obtained from values EuroQol-5D questionnaire and Modified Ashworth Scale were processed order obtain percentage treatment responders quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for each alternative....
Background: Persons with stroke commonly have impairments associated a reduction in functionality. Motor are the most prevalent, causing an impact on activities of daily life. Objective: The aim this study was to evaluate effect session dry needling (DN) applied upper extremity muscles sensorimotor function, hypertonia, and quality life persons chronic stroke. Methods: A randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial performed. Participants were randomly assigned into intervention group that...
Background: Dry Needling (DN) has been demonstrated to be effective in improving sensorimotor function and spasticity patients with chronic stroke. Electroencephalogram (EEG) used analyze if DN effects on the central nervous system of There are no studies how works stroke based EEG analysis using complex networks. Objective: The aim this study was assess when it is applied a patient stroke, graph theory. Methods: One session spastic brachialis muscle 62-year-old man right hemiplegia after...
Background: Dry needling [DNHS© technique] is a promising treatment modality for patients with spasticity. However, little known regarding the indirect effects of dry on regional brain activity. This study aimed to describe electroencephalographic changes found after application DNHS© in two stroke.Findings: Two chronic stroke and spasticity received single session spastic muscles selected clinical evaluation. An improvement activity was observed based measurement quantitative...
Dry needling (DN) has been shown to be effective for the treatment of upper extremity hypertonia in patients with stroke.To evaluate cost-effectiveness DN stroke.A analysis was performed a research study conducted at Spanish public hospital where were classified into two groups or without DN. Hypertonia measured using Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS), and quality life (QOL) assessed EuroQoL 5-dimension questionnaire. Data regarding effects costs physiotherapy presented by calculating mean 95%...
Alterations in gait and muscular rigidity are common disabling persons with Parkinson's disease (PD).The aim of this study was to determine whether a single dry needling (DN) session can promote changes muscle tone the lower extremities as well evolution PD.A randomized double-blind clinical trial designed. Participants were randomly assigned an intervention group (IG) that received DN over semitendinosus, medial gastrocnemius, soleus rectus femoris muscles, or control (CG) sham same...
Background About 40% of patients who have had COVID-19 still symptoms three months later whereas a 10% may experience physical and/or psychological consequences two years later. Therefore, it is necessary to perform preventive interventions when are discharged from the hospital decrease aforementioned sequelae. The purpose this pilot-controlled trial will be determine efficacy rehabilitation program on functional status and psychosocial factors for post-COVID-19 delivered through tele-care...
Introduction Work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a highly prevalent condition and one of the main contributors to disability loss work capacity. Current approaches management prevention work-related MSK do not consistently integrate current evidence-based knowledge seem be outdated. The Prevent4Work (P4W) Project aims collect spread information improve pain. P4W will longitudinally investigate (1) risk factors associated with prevalence pain, (2) predictive for new events in short...
