This study was designed to estimate the accuracy of postural assessment software (PAS/SAPO) for measurement corporal angles and distances as well inter- intra-rater reliabilities. Postural developed a subsidiary tool assessment. It is easy use available in public domain. Nonetheless, validation studies are lacking. The sample consisted 88 pictures from 22 subjects, each subject assessed twice (1 week interval) by 5 blinded raters. Inter- reliabilities were estimated using intraclass...

To contrast the efficacy of two exercise programs, segmental stabilization and strengthening abdominal trunk muscles, on pain, functional disability, activation transversus abdominis muscle (TrA), in individuals with chronic low back pain. Our sample consisted 30 individuals, randomly assigned to one treatment groups: stabilization, where exercises focused TrA lumbar multifidus superficial strengthening, rectus abdominis, abdominus obliquus internus, externus, erector spinae. Groups were...

Compare the effect of conventional static stretching and muscle chain stretching, as proposed by global posture reeducation method, in manual therapy patients with chronic neck pain. Thirty-three female aged 35 to 60 years old, 31 whom completed program, were randomly divided into two groups: The group (n=15) performed while (n=16) stretching. Both groups also underwent therapy. Patients evaluated before after treatment at a six-week follow-up appointment tested for pain intensity (by means...

Background: Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a common spinal deformity affecting 0.5% to 5.2% of children worldwide, with higher reported range in Spain (0.7–7.5%). Early detection through screening crucial prevent the progression mild cases severe deformities. Clinical methods such as ADAM test and trunk rotation angle (TRA) are widely used, but development three-dimensional (3D) surface topography (ST) technologies has opened new avenues for non-invasive screening. The objectives this study...

To assess the efficacy of an exercise program aiming to improve balance and muscular strength, for postural control strength women with osteoporosis.Sample consisted 33 osteoporosis, randomized into one two groups: intervention group, in which exercises improvement inferior members were performed 8 wks (n = 17, age 72.8 +/- 3.6 yrs); was not practicing 16, 74.4 3.7 yrs). At baseline after treatment, assessed using a force plate (Balance Master, Neurocom), during ankle dorsiflexion, knee...

To evaluate the musculoskeletal discomfort, work ability and residual fatigue in nursing professionals working hospital setting.Cross-sectional study with from a medium-sized public hospital. The Nordic symptom questionnaire, index, need for recovery scale (fatigue) were used. Data analyzed descriptively inferential tests applied order to verify association of ability, compare among sectors analyzed.Participation 110 study. A total 86.24% workers reported higher prevalence cervical, thoracic...

To investigate the relationship between q-angle and anterior knee pain severity, functional capacity, dynamic valgus hip abductor torque in women with patellofemoral syndrome (PFPS). This study included 22 PFPS. The was assessed using goniometry: participants were positioned dorsal decubitus extended, foot neutral rotation. Anterior severity a visual analog scale, capacity scale. Dynamic evaluated frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) of knee, which recorded digital camera during step down,...

Little is known about postural control among elderly individuals with osteoporosis and its relationship falls. It has been suggested that women kyphosis are at greater risk of falling. The aim this study was to evaluate posture without osteoporosis.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of balance training associated with muscle strengthening or stretching, relative to no intervention, in postural control elderly women osteoporosis. Design: A randomized, controlled trial. Subjects and interventions: Sample consisted 50 aged 65 years older, osteoporosis, randomized into one three groups: group ( n = 17) performed strengthening; stretching stretching; 16), activities. Interventions lasted eight weeks, twice a week, 60 minutes day. Main...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional lateral and torsional deformity of the spine, affecting up to 5% population. Traditional screening methods exhibit limited accuracy, leading unnecessary referrals exposure ionizing radiation from x-ray examinations. The 3D markerless surface topography (ST) technique quantifies trunk asymmetry can be potential tool. However, differences in between individuals with those typically developing spine have yet thoroughly studied. Using...

Previous studies have shown that acupuncture and electroacupuncture (EA) are effective in the treatment of patients with low back pain. However, there is little evidence to support use one intervention over other. The aim this study compare effect pain disability chronic nonspecific design a randomized controlled trial. Patients more than three months duration recruited at Rehabilitation Center Taboao da Serra - SP (Brazil). After examination, sixty-six will be into two groups: group (AG) (n...

BACKGROUND: It is theorized that increased dynamic knee valgus relates to decreased hip posterolateral muscle strength. OBJECTIVE: The aim here was assess the relationship between frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) of and trunk strength in women with without pa tellofemoral pain (PFP). METHODS: sample comprised 43 women: Patellofemoral Pain Group (PPG, n = 22) Control (CG, 21). Muscle for abduction, extension, external rotation lateral core were measured using a handheld dynamometer. FPPA...

Objective The aim of the study was to compare effectiveness motor control training and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in relieving pain, reducing functional disability, improving transversus abdominis activation patients with lumbar disc herniation associated radiculopathy. Design This is a randomized controlled trial. Methods Forty diagnosed were randomly divided into two groups: group ( n = 20) 20). Interventions attended 60 mini sessions twice week for 8 wks, totaling 16...

Investigar a relação entre o ângulo‐q e intensidade da dor anterior no joelho, capacidade funcional, valgo dinâmico de joelho torque abdutor do quadril em mulheres com síndrome patelofemoral (SDPF). Participaram estudo 22 SDPF. O foi avaliado pela goniometria, as participantes foram posicionadas decúbito dorsal estendido pé rotação neutra.

No tratamento de lombalgias, exercícios tradicionais fortalecimento dos músculos abdominais e extensores do tronco têm sido alvo críticas por submeter a coluna vertebral altas cargas trabalho, aumentando o risco nova lesão. Estudos recentes comprovam eficácia da estabilização segmentar como para lombalgia, sendo menos lesiva ser realizada em posição neutra. Pesquisas sugerem que, sem ativação correta estabilizadores profundos tronco, as recidivas quadro álgico são notadas com muita...

School performance encompasses several forms of representation, and this has been identified as stressing factors with negative repercussions on teachers' health. In 2020 scenario was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, yet unknown consequences Our hypothesis is that disease both quality life work ability teachers.

Um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública na população idosa são as quedas, agravando-se quando relacionadas à presença osteoporose. Dentre os vários fatores risco, destacam-se a diminuição do equilíbrio, controle postural e força muscular.
