Design A cross-sectional comprising 95 survivors conducted. HGS; heart rate variability; pressure pain threshold neck, shoulder, hand, tibia affected side; fitness level (6-min walk neck-shoulder mobility, vertical jump, sit-to-stand trunk curl test) were assessed...

To investigate the differences in widespread pressure pain hypersensitivity after two surgery approaches for breast cancer: mastectomy or lumpectomy.A cross-sectional blinded study.Widespread has been suggested as a sign of central sensitization. No study previously investigated presence cancer surgery.Twenty-one women (age: 52±9 years old) who had received lumpectomy cancer, 21 (mean age: 50±10 and healthy 51±10 participated.Pressure thresholds (PPT) were bilaterally assessed over C5-C6...

Each...

Objective: To determine the effects of a two-month intensive aquatic therapy programme on back pain, disability, quality life, body composition and health-related fitness in sedentary adults with chronic low pain. Design: Controlled clinical trial. Setting: Community. Subjects: Forty-nine patients Interventions: Patients were allocated into active group ( n = 24, two months, five times/week) or waiting list, control 25) according to space programme. Main measures: Outcomes variables pain...

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...

In Brief Study Design. A descriptive study of repeated measures using a crossover design. Objective. To determine the level agreement between assessments obtained via telerehabilitation and those by traditional face-to-face method in population individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) primary care setting. Summary Background Data. Musculoskeletal assessment has shown adequate inter- intrarater concordance clinical different diseases. There have been no published studies on reliability...

Background: Breast cancer patients have to face a high-risk state during chemotherapy, which involves deterioration of their health including extensive physical deterioration. Face-to-face exercise programs presented low adherence rates medical treatment, and telehealth systems could improve these rates.

Mobile learning (m-learning) has becoming very popular in education due to the rapidly advancing technology our society. The potentials of mobile applications should be used enhance process. Few have been designed complement study physical therapy skills for physiotherapy students. aim this was investigate whether a application, as supplement traditional learning, is useful students acquisition palpation and ultrasound shoulder area.Forty-nine participated single-blinded, randomized...

Background Smartphone-based learning, or mobile learning (m-learning), has become a popular learning-and-teaching strategy in educational environments. Blended combines strategies such as m-learning with conventional to offer continuous training, anytime and anywhere, via innovative activities. Objective The main aim of this work was examine the short-term (ie, 2-week) effects blended method using traditional materials plus app—the iPOT app—on knowledge, motivation, mood state, satisfaction...
