Introduction: Sleep disorders are frequent non-motor symptoms affecting patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Insomnia represents the most common sleep disorder. Scale 2 (PDSS-2) is a specific tool to investigate problems in PD. The General Disturbances (GSDS) was general scale validated for Italian population. Our goal assess psychometric characteristics of PDSS-2 and GSDS this population, calculating cut-off score insomnia by using subitems PDSS-2. Methods: Patients admitted at PD Unit...
Pregnancy is a specific condition that modifies the mobility of women. In this population, it seems important to use tools properly assess them. The Mobility Index (PMI) was created in 2006 with aim assessing pregnant goal study translate, adapt, and evaluate statistical properties questionnaire Italian population. PMI underwent translation transcultural adaptation. Reliability concurrent validity, compared Oswestry Disability (ODI), investigated on sample An ANOVA performed detect...
The StimQ questionnaire is used to assess the home environment of children. comprised four subscales, and it was completed by main caregiver. items were different considering band ages children: infants (5-12 months), toddlers (12-36 preschoolers (36-72 months). aim study translate, transculturally adapt, evaluate psychometric characteristics Italian version StimQ.

The goal of the study is to analyze kinematics and provide an EMG analysis support limb during instep kick in adolescent players. We set a video camera, two torque transducers on knee, sensors. A sample 16 soccer players between 10 12 years old performed kicks. shows p = .039 frontal plane (dominant 15.4 ± 1.8, nondominant 18.8 1.7); .04 muscular activation timing for vastus medialis. difference legs emerges. Moreover, huge sagittal pattern adult exists (15° population, 40° population)....
