The public health emergency of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is rapidly evolving worldwide; some countries, including Spain, have implemented restrictive measures. Populations that are vulnerable to this outbreak and its physical mental effects include community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Telehealth a potential tool deliver care decrease exposure risk.The aims study were explore the impact confinement on well-being dementia, provide television-based...
Abstract Background Educational institutions play an important role in encouraging student engagement, being necessary to know how engaged are students at university and if this factor is involved success point followed. To explore the association between academic engagement achievement. Methods Cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 304 Health Sciences. They were asked fill out on-line questionnaire. Academic achievements calculated using three types measurement. Results Positive...
The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) is a new patient-reported instrument, which measures symptoms related to Sensitivity Syndromes and Sensitization. aim of this study was translate the CSI into Spanish, then perform psychometric validation, including factor analysis reveal underlying structure.In two-stage participated 395 subjects with various chronic pain conditions that were recruited from two Primary Care Centres. cross-culturally adapted Spanish through double forward backward...
Studies had not yet overcome the most relevant barriers to physical activity (PA) adherence. An exercise referral scheme (ERS) with mechanisms promote social support might enhance adherence PA in long term.
Chronic musculoskeletal pain affects more than 20% of the population, leading to high health care overload and huge spending. The prevalence is increasing negatively both physical mental health, being one causes disability. most common location spine. Most treatments used in Public Health Services are passive (pharmacological invasive) do not comply with current clinical guidelines, which recommend treating primary (PC) education exercise as first-line treatments. A randomized multicentre...
Breast cancer (BC) treatment with anthracyclines and/or anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) antibodies is associated an increased risk of cardiovascular disease complications, including therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). While Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) programs exercise have emerged to minimize these risks, its role in preventing CTRCD unclear.
The aim of this study on persons with nonspecific chronic low back pain was to evaluate the effect a multimodal physical therapy program or without addition deep-water running pain, disability, and general health.A randomized controlled trial involving 46 subjects were treated three times week for 15 wks. Each group received 60 mins (an individualized exercise program; manual therapy; care, education, information an active lifestyle), whereas one performed additional 20-min sessions at...
Sit-to-stand (STS) tests measure the ability to get up from a chair, reproducing an important component of daily living activity. As this functional task is essential for human independence, STS performance has been studied in past decades using several methods, including electromyography. The aim study was muscular activity and fatigue during different repetitions speeds tasks surface electromyography lower-limb trunk muscles. This cross-sectional recruited 30 healthy young adults. Average...
The capacity to diagnosys, quantify and evaluate movement beyond the general confines of a clinical environment under effectiveness conditions may alleviate rampant strain on limited, expensive highly specialized medical resources.

Physical conditions through gait and other functional task are parameters to consider for frailty detection. The aim of the present study is measure describe variability acceleration, angular velocity trunk displacement in ten meter Extended Timed Get-Up-and-Go test two groups frail non-frail elderly people instrumentation with iPhone4® smartphone. Secondly, analyze differences performance variance between (frail non-frail).This a cross-sectional 30 subjects aged over 65 years, 14 16...
COVID-19 forced the implementation of restrictive measures in Spain, such as lockdown, home confinement, social distancing, and isolation. It is necessary to study whether limited access basic services decreased family support could have deleterious effects on cognition, quality life, mental health vulnerable older people.This aims explore impact outbreak cognition adults with mild cognitive impairment or dementia main outcome perceived status, depression secondary outcomes analyze...
Pain after cancer remains underestimated and undertreated. Precision medicine is a recent concept that refers to the ability classify patients into subgroups differ in their susceptibility to, biology, or prognosis of particular disease, response specific treatment, thus tailor treatment individual patient characteristics. Applying this pain cancer, post-cancer three major phenotypes (i.e. nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic pain) accordingly, an emerging issue. This especially relevant...
To describe the clinical, functional and quality of life characteristics in women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). In addition, to analyse relationship between variables reported by patients those informed clinicians, instrumented manual pelvic floor strength assessment. Two hundred eighteen participated this observational, analytical study. An interview about questionnaires (EuroQoL-5D SF-12) were developed as outcomes patients. Manual muscle testing perineometry clinician assessed....
The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is an internationally widely used outcome measure with robust, valid psychometric properties. purpose of study to develop and validate a ULFI Spanish-version (ULFI-Sp).A two stage observational was conducted. cross-culturally adapted Spanish through double forward backward translations, the properties were then validated. Participants (n = 126) various upper limb conditions >12 weeks duration completed ULFI-Sp, QuickDASH Euroqol Health Questionnaire 5...
