The study objectives were to evaluate the effects of adding whole-body vibration squat training on functional performance and self-report disease in elderly individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).This was a prospective, randomized trial which selected variables evaluated at three periods: 3 weeks prior training, immediately prior, after end training.Twenty-three (23) subjects using four tests: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Get Up Go Test (TGUG), Chair Stand (CST), 6-Minute Walk (6MWT),...
Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee (kOA) is a chronic, progressive, degenerative health condition that contribute to imbalance between synthesis and destruction articular cartilage. Recently, whole body vibration (WBV) training has been recommended as an effective alternative for strength in elderly people various physiological effects are obtained response exercise performed on vibratory platform, such increase muscle activation improved performance. However, WBV particularly quadriceps...
To plan testing activities, testers face the challenge of determining a strategy, including test coverage criterion that offers an acceptable compromise between available resources and goals. Known theoretical properties criteria do not always help and, thus, empirical data are needed. The results experimental evaluation several for finite state machines (FSMs) presented, namely, transition coverage; initialisation fault coverage. first two focus on FSM structure, whereas other potential...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect adding whole-body vibration (WBV; frequency = 35 40 Hz; amplitude 4 mm) squat training on T-cell proliferative response elderly patients with osteoarthritis (OA) knee. This a randomized controlled trial in which selected variables were assessed before and after 12 weeks training. Twenty-six subjects (72 ± 5 years age) divided into three groups: 1) WBV (WBV, N 8); 2) without (N 10), 3) control group 8). Women who ≥60 age had been diagnosed...
Introducao: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar variaveis isocineticas do joelho, tais como pico de torque e relacao equilibrio agonista/antagonista, entre atletas taekwondo (TKD) kickboxing (KB). Materiais Metodos: Foram incluidos dez artes marciais sexo masculino (18±3 anos, 1,75±9cm 65±10kg): cinco kickboxing. Foi realizada avaliacao agonista/antagonista flexores extensores joelho bilateralmente (dinamometro Biodex Multi-joint System 3). A analise dos dados por meio estatistica nao...
Chronic health conditions are accompanied by low-grade systemic inflammation and increased blood concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF).Blood levels soluble receptors for (TNF) can influence functional performance in patients with chronic fibromyalgia, obstructive pulmonary disease, Chagas disease.However, a gap remains regard to the association between biomarkers conditions.The aim this study was verify TNF conditions.One hundred forty-six...

Objective: To validate the PhisioPlay software for proprioceptive evaluation of shoulder joint based on data obtained by isokinetic dynamometry equipment. Methods: Thirty-one individuals constituted a single group both joints means position sense (JPS). The testing protocol consisted abduction movement to target angles 45° and 90° maintenance these positions 30 seconds. In dynamometer, test was performed using its same movement, angles, time established previous test. Results: For variables,...
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of chronic disability in elderly. An inflammatory process, marked by increased levels both pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, frequently observed on patients with osteoarthritis. However, we do not know if squat exercises associated whole body vibration can modify plasma cytokines physical function elderly PURPOSE: To investigate the effects exercise markers knee OA. METHODS: The volunteers were randomized into three groups: (GP) performed...
