BACKGROUND: There is a lack of questionnaires in Brazilian Portuguese to evaluate patient-reported lower limb function. OBJECTIVE: To translate, cross-culturally adapt the population, and psychometric properties Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). METHOD: The LEFS was translated by two independent assessors back-translated English. Then, LEFS-Brazil tested on 20 patients who answered questionnaire cross-cultural adaptation phase. For evaluation properties, 100 questionnaire. reliability...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease that commonly affects the knee joints. Individuals older than 65 years of age with OA have greater risk falls. However, there has been limited examination parameters postural sway (increased time, speed, and area [center pressure{CoP}]), knee.The primary objective this study was to determine whether CoP variables discriminate between patients matched healthy volunteers, correlate Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) Falls...
Flexibility is a key component of physical fitness. It has been suggested that measures fitness components may vary throughout the day. The aim this study was to analyse effects time day on flexibility performance. 26 men (mean age=25.4 years, SD=2.5) were evaluated by hip flexion kinematic analysis and also an absolute score in modified Sit-and-Reach test during repeated measure design. This done 3 experimental sessions, which took place at 8:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m., random order. All...
Background and Purpose: Knee muscle strength deficits have been reported in individuals who undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Isokinetic testing is a valid way to assess strength. Some isokinetic variables, including the range of motion phases attain specific velocity, load (sustained velocity), time achieve deceleration, qualitative analysis torque-angle velocity relationship, may contribute understanding recovery these after surgery. Thus, purpose this study was...
INTRODUÇÃO: A fraqueza da musculatura paraespinhal está relacionada à etiologia dor lombar. Atualmente existem vários métodos que apresentam exercícios para o fortalecimento dessa musculatura. OBJETIVOS: Comparar e analisar sinal eletromiográfico do músculo multífido bilateralmente durante método Pilates, série de Williams Spine Stabilization. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Participaram estudo dez mulheres voluntárias saudáveis realizaram os leg pull front support modificado quarto exercício adicional...
Soccer matches consist of a variety different activities, including repeated sprints. Time to attain velocity (TTAV), load range (LR) and the torque-angle-velocity relationship (TAV<sub>3D</sub>) represent an important measurement muscle performance, however there are few related studies. The aim this study was compare these outcomes between soccer players age category. 17 professional (PRO) under-17 (U17) were assessed for concentric knee flexion/extension at 60, 120 300°/s. For extensor...
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was described kinematic characteristics gait in stroke patients with two different arteries involved. [Subjects and Methods] Two who had suffered a basilar (A) or middle (B) cerebral artery ischemic were compared control (C). Seventeen inertial sensors used acquisition rate 120 Hz. participants walked 3 times on 10 meter walkway. From raw data, three cycles from each trial chosen analyzed. [Results] During stance phase, A B lower hip angle at initial...
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of low back pain is lower when physical fitness (aerobic and muscular) higher. Strength exercises are important for subjects with pain, but there few studies on the inclusion aerobic exercise in programs. aim this study was to compare effects aquatic or without high-intensity component functional status, lumbar abdominal muscle endurance, performance chronic pain.METHODS: Forty-eight volunteers between 20 60 years old were randomly allocated an experimental group...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle activity in soccer players can be measured by isokinetic dynamometer, which is a reliable tool for assessing human performance. Objectives: To perform analyses and to determine variables differentiate the under-17 (U17) category from professional (PRO). Methods: Thirty four were assessed (n=17 each category). The used knee extension-flexion analysis were: peak torque (Nm), total work (J), average power (W), angle of (deg.), agonist/ antagonist ratio (%), three...
The aims of this study were to determine the motor unit behavior erector spinae muscles and assess whether differences exist between dominant/nondominant sides back muscles.Nine healthy women, aged 21.7 years (SD = 0.7), performed a extension test. Surface electromyographic decomposition data collected from both decomposed into individual action potential trains. mean firing rate for each was calculated, regression analysis against corresponding recruitment thresholds.The ranged 15.9 23.9...
Many studies have investigated isokinetic performance in volleyball players but not through surface maps.The goals of this study were to assess velocity-specific knee extensor-flexor muscle strength and compare the muscles between professional (PRO) under-17 (U17) female players.This cross-sectional laboratory was developed with two groups: PRO (n = 12), medianage 21.3 years, U17 9), 15 years. Peak torque, total work, mean power, angle peak hamstring-quadriceps torque ratio (H-Q ratio)...
