Filter by:The ankle joint is commonly used and also stricken by high loads and injuries in sports. One technique in emphasis is cryotherapy, a physiotherapeutical intervention characterized by the use of low temperatures for tissue trauma's rehabilitation. Several studies analysed the effects of cryotherapy and brought important results related to pain and strength reduction, also to muscle contraction speed reduction. Although, considering the risk-benefit from de intervention it's pertinent to observe the presence of deleterious effects, especially the ones that impact on motor function. This scenario has been brought by scientists and currently the main gap from this theme resides on the repercussions of the technique application on functional answers

This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the BTL-899 device for toning of buttocks. The study is a prospective multi-center open-label two-arm study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into two study groups. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into two study groups; HIFEM+RF (HR) and HIFEM (H) group. Subjects of both groups will be required to complete four (4) treatment visits and two follow-up visits.
Training prescription is planned considering recovery periods to enhance performance. To assess recovery, a complexity model can be used, in which the main variable would correspond to a fractal of performance. To assess the effectiveness of post-exercise massage and cold-water immersion under a new prism of recovery by means of muscle stiffness and movement variability analysis regarding the sport-specific gesture and an experimental task of shoulder elevation in swimmers.
Forward head posture (FHP) is known to have a large influence on respiratory function by weakening the respiratory muscles. This cross-sectional study is designed to examine the relationship between the tonus, stiffness, and elasticity of head posture muscles and pulmonary capacity. Sixteen FHP individuals and seventeen NFHP individuals were evaluated. The muscle tonus, stiffness and elasticity of upper trapezius (UT), semispinalis capistis (SSC), pectoral muscles (PM) and sternocleidomastoideus muscles (SCM) were measured by using MyotonPro® device. Functional capacity was measured with six-minute walk test. Pulmonary function tests was evaluated with spirometer. The neck disability index (NDT) was applied. The forward head posture was determined by measurements of craniovertebral angle (CVA). Physical activity levels of participants were evaluated by Physical Activity Index (FIT).
The purpose of this study was (1) to investigate changes in gait, balance, fine motor function, and muscle tone, and (2) to find out if there is a correlation between muscle tone/presence of paratonia and motor function (gross and fine) in mild and moderate dementia.Three groups of participants were included in the study: healthy elderly (n=60), participants with mild dementia (n=31) and participants with moderate dementia (n=31). Measurements of fine motor function, balance, gait, presence of paratonia and muscle tone measurements were performed.
