Construct validity of markerless three-dimensional gait biomechanics in healthy...

Background and aim: Gait changes due to aging can result in functional limitations and a higher risk of falls, with older adults showing alterations in joint angles and moments. Marker-based gait analysis is not widely used in clinical settings due to its complexity and discomfort, especially in older adults. Recent advances in markerless motion capture, such as Theia3D, offer a promising alternative. This stud...

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: A Decade of Assistential Activity at Centro Hospital...

Introduction: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is the most frequent of human prion diseases, with an estimated incidence of 1 case per million / habitants per year. Clinical manifestations include multidomain cognitive impairment with pyramidal, extrapyramidal and/or cerebellar signs. It is a rapidly progressive and fatal disease. Our aim was to do a sociodemographic, clinical and progression evaluatio...

Prevalence of levator ani muscle injuries in primiparous women after delivery a...

Background: Studies show a significant association between the first vaginal delivery and injuries of the levator ani muscle (LAM), which can cause pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Objectives: This study aims to identify the prevalence of short and long-term LAM injuries after vaginal delivery in primiparous women and its influence on PFDs. Method: A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA methodo...

Markerless three-dimensional gait analysis in healthy older adults: test–retest...

In older adults, gait analysis may detect changes that signal early disease states, yet challenges in biomechanical screening limit widespread use in clinical or community settings. Recently, a markerless method from multi-camera video data has become accessible, making screenings less challenging. This study evaluated the test-retest reliability and measurement error of markerless gait kinematics and kinetics ...

The Effect of Strengthening of the Upper Limb, on Balance and Gait, in Old Peop...

Introduction: The occurrence of stroke is higher in the elderly population, and 30% to 60% have upper limb (UL) limitations. The decrease of range of motion on the upper limb joints and pendular movement can lead to changes in gait pattern, risk of falling, and balance. Studies refer that UL strengthening benefits gait and functional capacity in patients with stroke sequels. Our aim was to determine the effect ...

Efeitos do fortalecimento do membro superior, no equilíbrio e na marcha, em ido...

Introdução: A ocorrência de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) tem uma prevalência elevada na população mais velha, sendo que 30% a 60% destes indivíduos apresentam limitações ao nível do membro superior (MS). A diminuição da amplitude e alteração dos membros superiores podem potenciar alterações ao nível do padrão de marcha, risco de queda e equilíbrio. Estudos referem que fortalecimento dos MS pode melhorar o p...

Nationwide Access to Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Portugal

Introduction: Since the publication of endovascular treatment trials and European Stroke Guidelines, Portugal has re-organized stroke healthcare. The nine centers performing endovascular treatment are not equally distributed within the country, which may lead to differential access to endovascular treatment. Our main aim was to perform a descriptive analysis of the main treatment metrics regarding endovascular ...

Accessible Tourism and Compliance

The concept of Accessible Tourism recognises that tourism is for everyone and, therefore, everyone should be able to enjoy tourism products and services. This concept not only translates into benefits for tourists, as it provides an improvement in the quality of life of the local population, who benefits from the creation of improved accessibility conditions. Promoting accessibility is a fundamental condition f...
