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...
Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a public health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. The intensity the tibiofemoral contact forces related to cartilage degeneration, and so importance quantifying joint loads during daily activities. Although simulation with musculoskeletal models has been used calculate loads, it demands high-cost equipment very time-consuming process. This study aimed evaluate consolidated machine learning algorithms predict gait analysis healthy individuals...
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...
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...
This study aimed to analyze the coordination and variability between thorax, lumbar, pelvis segments in runners with chronic low back pain group (LBPG) matched control (CG). Twenty-six recreational were evaluated on a treadmill at 3.3 m/s. The of pelvis–lumbar lumbar–thorax all three planes transverse frontal plane lumbar segment using vector coding technique. Coordination was analyzed via histograms percentage each pattern coupling angle during cycle. calculated from angular deviation...
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...
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)...
Abstract Background Maintenance of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) foot is fundamental during functional tasks and disorders can lead to clinical alterations. Studies have demonstrated that deficits in ankle isokinetic performance predispose an individual lower limb injuries. Objectives To evaluate muscular cavus, planus, normal feet by means torque/body mass phases, generate 3D surface map analysis, verify whether there a relationship between MLA height flexibility with performance....
The Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (LoBACS) assesses the self-efficacy to perform activities in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). As appears directly influence patient's functional capacity and prognosis, it is important develop a scale that evaluates this attribute guide treatment strategy monitor clinical course of patients. This study aimed evaluate reliability, construct validity, responsiveness Brazilian version LoBACS. was applied 112 male female patients (age, 18–65...
Aquatic exercises are among the treatments available to improve quality of life after stroke.To investigate changes in 8-week aquatic post-stroke individuals.A case series study was designed, including four male participants. Exclusive exercise performed for 8-week, 50 minutes per session, 2×/week. Their evaluated before and intervention using Stroke Impact Scale (SIS).Participant 1 improved mobility domain, achieving a Clinically Important Difference (CID). Participant 2 strength CID; his...
The study compared thigh-shank and shank-foot coordination during gait before after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with controls (CTRL). Twenty-seven patients (male=15/female=12; age=63.2±6.9 years) were evaluated one month prior to twelve months surgery, 27 (male=14/female=13; age=62.2±4.3). participants outfitted a full-body marker set. Gait speed (normalized by leg length) was calculated. time series of the thigh, shank, foot orientation in relation laboratory coordinate system extracted....
This study examined pre-operative measures to predict post-operative biomechanical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Twenty-eight patients (female=12/male=16, age=63.6±6.9, BMI=29.9±7.4 kg/m2) with osteoarthritis scheduled undergo TKA were included. All surgeries performed by the same surgeon (GD) a subvastus approach. Patients visited gait lab within one-month prior surgery and 12 months following surgery. At lab, completed injury outcome score (KOOS), timed up go (TUG),...
