Aim: Investigate the experiences, challenges, and difficulties faced by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) when using standard cutlery during meals explore their preferences for features in assistive cutlery.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on muscle strength and architecture, functional capacity, endothelial function in patients with chronic kidney failure (CKF) hemodialysis (HD). Twenty‐one CKF HD were randomized into a control group (CG; n = 10) (NMESG; 11) who received NMES quadriceps for 8 weeks, 3 times/week (20–34 min) during sessions. The lower limbs was evaluated by dynamometry sit‐and‐stand test (SST); architecture through...
: To evaluate and compare proprioception, body balance knee functionality of individuals with or without unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.: Forty were divided in two groups: Experimental group, 20 ACL reconstruction at six months postoperative, control no history lower limb pathologies. In the experimental we assessed limbs reconstructed contralateral limb; group dominant non-dominant assessed. All subjects submitted to joint position sense test postural measure...
Peripheral nerves are often damaged by direct mechanical injury, diseases, and tumors. The peripheral nerve injuries that result from these conditions can lead to a partial or complete loss of motor, sensory, autonomic functions, which in turn related changes skin temperature, the involved segments body. aim this study was evaluate hind paw temperature after sciatic crush rats an attempt determine whether correlate with functional recovery locomotion. Wistar were divided into three groups:...
Abstract Parkinson's disease ( PD ) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter involved in regulating movement. Nuclear medicine imaging methods such as single‐photon emission computed tomography SPECT combined with radiotracers can obtain density this neurotransmitter. This reduced leads to classic symptoms, bradykinesia, tremor and stiffness, consequently affecting walking postural control. The aim study was verify correlation...
Background . Changes in proprioception may contribute to postural instability individuals with neurological disorders. Objectives Evaluate the lower limbs of patients Parkinson’s disease (PD) and association between cognitive ability, motor symptoms, instability, severity. Methods This is a cross-sectional, controlled study that evaluated PD healthy age- sex-matched individuals. Kinetic knee was using an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex® Multi-Joint System 4 Pro). Participants were Montreal...
The bass drum is driven by a pedal that promotes muscle fatigue and can cause injuries. In order to provide engineers with valuable tools, this research aimed at analyzing the use of evaluate qualitatively groups involved their possible relationship any injuries resulting from fatigue. Through analysis, it was found striking provides health risks; therefore, some actions were suggested avoid drummers. All data collected be used as parameters for development products would prevent problems or...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midfoot longitudinal arch height and correlate it with active hip external rotation (ER) in dancers during static postures technical steps classical ballet (i.e., first position, demi-plié, battement fondu à la seconde, pas jeté grand seconde). A 3D motion analysis system used for kinematic analysis. significantly reduced seconde when compared standing (p = 0.000 all comparisons), position 0.000, p 0.001, respectively) demi-plié 0.015, 0.003,...
ABSTRACT Background: Restoring the contractile function to abdominal wall is a major goal in hernia repair. However, core understanding required when choosing method for outcome assessment. Aim: To assess role of anterolateral muscles on patients undergoing repair by analysis correlation between surface electromyography activation signal these and torque produced during validated strength tests. Methods: Activation rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique/transverse abdominis was...
Assessing lower limb strength, balance, and fall risk are crucial components of rehabilitation, especially for the older adult population. With growing interest in telehealth, teleassessment has been investigated as an alternative when in-person assessments not possible. The Five Times Sit-to-Stand test (5TSTS) provides a quick measure balance during chair transfers, muscle power, endurance, hability to change maintain body position, is highly recommended by guidelines. However, literature...
Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o efeito da intervenção de programas exercícios na massa muscular como tratamento indivíduos idosos com sarcopenia. Método: Revisão sistemática ensaios clínicos comparando sarcopenicos em grupo submetido a um programa exercício (grupo intervenção) relação à controle. Os Critérios seleção para esta revisão são: (tipo estudo); idosos, idade igual ou superior 60 anos, sedentários sarcopenia participante); que tivessem, no mínimo, 04 semanas...
RESUMO O modelo de brace desenvolvido consiste em uma joelheira neoprene que apresenta um balonete inflável posicionado sobre a região poplítea do joelho. Ele proporciona estímulos estruturas articulares, bem como melhor alinhamento biomecânico durante fase apoio da marcha. objetivo estudo foi quantificar as alterações e adaptações induzidas pelo treinamento marcha com utilização dispositivo ortótico pacientes hemiparéticos. Realizou-se quase-experimental tipo antes depois doze adultos...
Reduced muscle strength and low-exercise capacity are well documented in adults, but there few studies examining those impairments children adolescents after kidney transplantation. The objective of this study was to evaluate peripheral respiratory the association with submaximal exercise transplant.Forty-seven patients between six 18 years age clinically stable transplantation were included. Peripheral (isokinetic hand-grip dynamometry), (maximal inspiratory expiratory pressure),...
Resumo Introdução: Força muscular reduzida e baixa capacidade de exercício encontram-se bem documentadas em adultos mas há poucos estudos examinando essas alterações crianças adolescentes após transplante renal. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a força periférica respiratória associação com submáxima o Métodos: Foram incluídos 47 pacientes entre 6 18 anos idade clinicamente estáveis transplante. Avaliou-se (dinamometria isocinética preensão manual), (pressão inspiratória expiratória...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system involving motor neurons, which directly affect gait person. The aim this study was to analyze kinematics patients affected by pathology in different stages. A descriptive cross-sectional research designed with three subjects who were classified stages I, II and III proposed Sinaki & Mulder. Regarding spatial-temporal variables, it observed that more stage progresses, further values get from normality....
Introduction: The role of first ray sagittal mobility (FRSM) in the etiology and treatment hallux valgus (HV) remains controversial. manual clinical test FRSM performed during physical examination HV is completely subjective. Our objective was to compare individuals with without using a previously described device validated evaluate assess correlation between severity degree foot flatness. Methods: Thirty-seven feet 35 control were compared Eulji Medical Center (EMC)-like device. grade...
