Mobility difficulties for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) are more pronounced when they perform a simultaneous cognitive task while walking. Although it is known that neurodegeneration results in widespread motor and brain impairments, few studies have comprehensively examined possible physical mental determinants of dual walking PwPD. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate if how muscle strength (sit-to-stand 30-sec test), cognition (mini-mental state examination)...
Background: Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit different combinations of motor symptoms. The most frequent subtypes are akinetic-rigid (AK-R) and hyperkinetic (HYP). Motor symptoms, such as rigidity bradykinesia, can directly affect postural adjustments performance in daily tasks, like gait initiation obstacles negotiation, increasing the risk falls functional dependence. Objective: To compare biomechanical parameters during obstacle negotiation people AK-R HYP PD correlate...
This study aims to investigate the relationship between soft tissue energy dissipation and leg stiffness during running. Eight recreational healthy male runners (age: 22.2 ± 1.0 years; height: 1.84 0.03 m; mass: 73.7 5.7 kg) were asked run at different speeds step frequencies. Their was estimated by difference total mechanical work of body, measured as done move body centre mass relative surroundings plus limbs mass, lower-limb joint work. A mass-spring model with an actuator used analyse...
In healthy adults, Nordic walking (NW) is known to increase the external mechanical energy fluctuations, though work unaltered due an improved pendulum-like recovery in comparison with free (FW). We aimed compare mechanical, pendulum-like, and spatiotemporal parameters of gait at different speeds without NW poles people Parkinson's disease controls. The study included 11 (aged 65.6 ± 7.0 years) idiopathic disease, scoring between 1 1.5 on Hoehn Yahr scale (H&Y), nine controls 70.0 5.6...
Abstract This study aimed to describe the neuromuscular activity of elite athletes who performed various roller figure skating jumps, determine whether muscle activation is greater during jumps with more rotations and in which phase muscles are active. also analyze if there any difference pattern between female male skaters. Four skaters were evaluated, each participated two experimental sessions. During first session, anthropometric data collected, consent forms signed. For second collected...
Abstract The mechanical and metabolic responses of walking by obese children are not yet well understood. objectives this study were (1) to compare the pendular mechanism (recovery, phase shift α β values, ratio between forward vertical work), maximum possible elastic energy usage bilateral coordination during non‐obese children, (2) verify if could contribute understanding in these populations. Nine (six female, 8.7 ± 0.5 years, 1.38 0.04 m, 44.4 6.3 kg 24.1 3.50 kg/m 2 ) eight (four 7.4...
Purpose The study aimed to verify the influence of aerobic training environment on pain, disability, and oxygen uptake in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods randomized involved 14 both sexes, One group performed deepwater walking/running other practised land walking/running, moderate intensity. Pain, peak (VO<sub>2peak</sub>), second ventilatory threshold (VO<SUB>2VT2</SUB>) were assessed before after intervention. Results Decreases pain disability observed...
Abstract Purpose In the natural environment, humans must continuously negotiate irregular and unpredictable terrain. Recently, poles have been extensively used during trial running events. However, we know little about how adjust posture bilateral coordination to use in Here, compared kinematics, perceptual responses between regular (compact dust) terrain (medium-length grass) at preferred speed with without poles. Methods this transversal observational study, thirteen young healthy adults...
<ns3:p>Background Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), particularly those the rigid-akinetic postural instability (RA) subtype, often experience motor symptoms that impair functionality and control. Physiotherapy interventions, including both dry land aquatic therapies, can help manage PD treatment. This study aimed to develop assess effects of two exercise protocols emphasizing extensor musculature vertebral column (dry shallow water) on functional capacity in individuals without...
INTRODUÇÃO: A caminhada humana envolve um complexo e coordenado movimento dos segmentos corporais com demandas motoras de atenção cognitiva. dupla tarefa (DT) é definida pela execução simultânea duas tarefas, como caminhar segurando copo (DT motora-motora), ou enquanto realiza operações matemáticas motora-cognitiva). Caminhada em DT requer mediação das funções do sistema cognitivo afetando o foco atencional, a memória trabalho controle executivo. OBJETIVO: Analisar as mudanças parâmetros...
INTRODUÇÃO: Embora o efeito agudo da estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (ETCC) esteja bem documentado em pacientes, pouco ainda se sabe a ETCC pode alterar controle postural de participantes adultos jovens,ativos e saudáveis. OBJETIVO: avaliar os efeitos agudos anódica cerebelar no jovens. MÉTODOS: foram avaliados dezessete estudantes universitários ativos (9 mulheres, 22±3 anos, 22,7±2,4 Kg/m2; 8 homens, 23±1,2 22,8±4,8 Kg/m2) testados duas ocasiões distintas (intervalo 15...
