The influence of artificial breast volume induction on postural stability, post...
Guedes, Diana C.; Carneiro, Daniela F.; Alves, Leonel A. T.; Melo, Ana S. C.; Moreira, Juliana; Cunha, Bruno; Santos, Rubim; Noites, Andreia(1) Background: The percentage of breast augmentations has increased in recent years alongside the frequency of implant removals. Musculoskeletal and postural disorders are often overlooked during this removal process. Research indicates that excess anterior load from breast implants can disrupt postural control and potentially lead to short- or long-term musculoskeletal dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate...
Presence of pain shows greater effect than tendon structural alignment during l...
Silvia, Ortega-Cebrián; Silva, Diogo C. F.; Carneiro, Daniela F.; Zárate, Victor; Alves, Leonel A. T.; Guedes, Diana C.; Zárate-Tejero, Carlos A."Eccentric loading during landing is considered a key factor in the development of patellar tendinopathy and is associated with stiff landings and patellar tendinopathy. This study aims to investigate the relationship between tendon structure, presence of pain, and sex differences in landing kinematics and kinetics during countermovement jumps (CMJ) and tuck jump tests (TJT) in professional volleyball players. ...
Principal component analysis of stair negotiation and floor transition kinemati...
Moreira, Juliana; Teles, Ivone da Silva; Cunha, Bruno; Félix, José; Guedes, Diana C.; Alves, Leonel A. T.; Santos, Rubim; Sousa, Andreia S PStair negotiation (ascending and descending) and transitions to level walking are complex motor tasks influenced by aging; yet the impact of functional disability on these changes remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the lower limb joint positions, velocities, and the center of mass (CoM) displacement and velocity during stair negotiation and transitions in older adults with and without functiona...
