Musculoskeletal pain represents an increase in medical expenses due to disability and decreased quality of life among workers. Various biopsychosocial factors contribute the development persistent disabling musculoskeletal pain. The Prevent for Work questionnaire (P4Wq) intended analyze these factors. In this study, original Italian version P4Wq was translated culturally adapted Spanish. Moreover, psychometric properties were evaluated Spanish workers with without recent history spinal first...
Objective To evaluate the effect of integrating a specific balance-training program focused on static balance to conventional rehabilitation dynamic balance, risk falls, and activities daily living (ADLs) in older adults post-stroke. Design A single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting Institutional Intermediate Care Hospital. Subjects Post-stroke subacute phase without cognitive impairment, aged 65 years older, exhibiting trunk control seated position for 30 seconds supporting arms....
Background and Objectives: Malnutrition’s prevalence its relationship with functional ability in patients end-stage spine pathologies, i.e., any disease of the vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, associated joints requiring surgical intervention, are yet to be explored. This retrospective study aimed investigate association between malnutrition, disability, physical health undergoing elective surgery our Italian hospital. Materials Methods: Data 2016 2019, recorded at pre-admission...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objectives To develop and validate a multivariable predictive model for length of hospital stay (LOS) following spine surgery, incorporating sociodemographic characteristics, medical data, self-reported patient outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis 4583 patients from surgery registry was conduct-ed. Predictors included age, sex, BMI, ASA score, surgical complexity, patient-reported Binary logistic regression used to LOS (<3 days vs ≥3 days)....
Background and purpose Stroke survivors present limited levels of physical activity (PA) participation in everyday activities although the specific interaction between PA these individuals is still uncertain. This study aimed to analyse relationship among Spanish mild stroke survivors. Methods A total 130 (61.3 ± 12.4 years, 35% female) with preserved walking ability without cognitive communication impairments participated this cross-sectional involving several rehabilitation centres from...
Abstract Although multisite pain can markedly reduce work ability, the relevance of bodily distribution as a predictor long-term sick leave is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate association between musculoskeletal distributions and in general working population Denmark included 66,177 currently employed wage earners without during prior 52 weeks. Participants reported whether they had lower extremity (hips/knees), upper (neck/shoulders), or low back. The analysis controlled for...
Background Effective rehabilitation of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders requires multimodal assessment to guide clinicians’ decision-making. Furthermore, a comprehensive must include reliable tests. Nevertheless, the interrelationship among various tests remains unclear. This study aimed evaluate reliability easily applicable extremity assessments, including absolute values and asymmetries muscle mechanical properties, pressure pain threshold, active range motion, maximal isometric...
Understanding the stability of quantitative sensory tests (QSTs) over time is important to aid clinicians in selecting a battery for assessing and monitoring patients. This study evaluated short- long-term reliability selected QSTs.Twenty healthy women participated three experimental sessions: Baseline, 2 weeks, 6 months. Measurements included pressure pain thresholds (PPT) neck, upper back, leg; Pressure-cuff tolerance around upper-arm; conditioned modulation during pressure-cuff stimulus;...
Widespread pain partially depends upon sensitization of central mechanisms. However, mechanisms controlling distribution are not completely known. The present study sought to assess skin temperature variations in the area experimentally-induced and potential sex differences. Pressure-pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured on right infraspinatus muscle. At end Day 0, all participants performed an eccentric exercise shoulder external rotators induce muscle soreness 24 hours after. On 1,...
Stroke survivors experience changes in participation level, satisfaction with participation, and balance, making it necessary to have a validated tool for their assessment.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the influence of potential placebo and nocebo effects on pain perception percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) in individuals with patellar tendinopathy. Methods In this secondary analysis a three-arm randomized double-blinded controlled trial, intra inter-session data from 48 sporting participants tendinopathy between 18 45 years were investigated. Participants divided into 3 parallel groups: “no-sham group” [PNE intervention], “single-sham [sham...
Stroke survivors usually present sedentary lifestyles and fail to comply with the World Health Organization physical activity recommendations. Reliable, low-cost, fast tools are needed monitor levels in this population.
Introduction Musculoskeletal pain is a significant public health concern in Europe. With the advent of digital age, online information-seeking behaviour has become increasingly important, influencing outcomes and ability individuals to make well-informed decisions regarding their own well-being or those they are responsible for. This study protocol outlines an investigation into how five European countries (Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain) seek information for musculoskeletal pain....
To compare the effectiveness of dry needling (DN) versus percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) for improving level pain, function and quality life (QoL) patients suffering from plantar heel pain (PHP) provoked by myofascial trigger points.A prospective, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment.A single treatment facility in State Kuwait.118 participants were screened eligibility. Of these, 102 enrolled (30 men (49.5±8.9 years) 72 women (48.1±8.8 years)) 68...
The objective of this study was to investigate the pain-sensory profile patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WADs) prior and post 2 weeks standardized rehabilitation after a 6-month follow-up.Twenty-two WAD participants (grade II; 14 women) 22 sex-matched age-matched healthy pain-free controls were enrolled. Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) assessed at local distal muscles. Conditioned modulation (CPM) PPTs using cuff pressure around upper arm. Referred area following supra-threshold...
Introduction Stroke survivors usually experience long-lasting functional, emotional and social consequences that might contribute to sedentary behaviour participation restrictions, which are important targets address during rehabilitation. However, the trajectory inter-relationship between these factors unknown. Methods analysis Part&Sed is a research project based on an observational study design with 6 12 months of follow-ups in stroke survivors. In addition, qualitative impact...
Both manual therapy techniques and dry needling have shown to be effective treatment options for the of plantar heel pain; however, in recent years, other based on (DN), such as percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE), also emerged. Currently, PNE is being used clinical practice manage myofascial trigger points, despite lack studies comparing effects this technique over needling. Therefore, aim randomized controlled study compare effectiveness DN versus improving level pain experienced by...
Objective This study aims to define appropriate domains and items for the development of a self-administered questionnaire assess risk developing work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) its progression chronicity. Design Literature review survey study. Setting participants A literature two-round interview with 15 experts in pain were performed identify available WMSD assessment. Interventions outcome To ensure quality, only validated questionnaires included Delphi process. three-round...
BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent among office workers and causes high costs to the public health system. Strategies including education exercise are recommended, with major benefits when conducted by physical therapists in occupational environment. However, required investment uncommon companies. This study aimed evaluate efficacy of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention relieve musculoskeletal workers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The employed single group pre-post design...
