Electromyographic assessment of agonist and antagonist muscles related to the a...

Following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), neuromuscular control alterations may persist, increasing the risk of reinjury. This study aimed to investigate electromyographic (EMG) muscle activation and the co-contraction index (CCI) of ACL-related agonist and antagonist muscles during side- hop tasks in ACLR individuals, offering novel insights into neuromuscular strategies during dynamic tasks....

Changes in co-contraction magnitude during functional tasks following anterior ...

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a common orthopedic surgery procedure whose incidence has increased over the past few decades. Nevertheless, it is believed that neuromuscular control remains altered from the early stages after ACLR to later years. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the magnitude of co-contraction during functional tasks in subjects with unilatera...

Immediate effects of Global Active Stretching on strength and flexibility: Rand...

Global Active Stretching is a relatively recent yet little studied stretching method. It differs from the most popular methods by targeting muscle chains and integrating stretching with muscle contractions, which may eventually avoid the post-stretching reduction of strength that occurs in other methods. To verify the immediate effects of Global Active Stretching on muscle strength and flexibility in individual...

Interlimb coordination during double support phase of gait in people with and w...

This study aims to identify differences between participants with and without stroke regarding the ipsilesional and contralesional lower limbs kinematics, kinetics, muscle activity and their variability during double support phase of gait. Eleven post-stroke and thirteen healthy participants performed 10 gait trials at a self-selected speed while being monitored by an optoelectronic motion capture system, two f...

Repeatability and temporal consistency of lower limb biomechanical variables ex...

Reliable biomechanical methods to assess interlimb coordination during the double-support phase in post-stroke subjects are needed for assessing movement dysfunction and related variability. The data obtained could provide a significant contribution for designing rehabilitation programs and for their monitorisation. The present study aimed to determine the minimum number of gait cycles needed to obtain adequate...

Efeito imediato da técnica de rotação cervical grau II na sensação de posição a...

A mobilização articular passiva em indivíduos com dor cervical possui eficácia reconhecida no alívio da dor e no aumento da amplitude articular, mas há poucos estudos sobre a sua influência na capacidade propriocetiva. Estudar o efeito imediato da técnica de rotação cervical grau II na sensação de posição articular, em jovens adultos com e sem dor cervical unilateral de origem não específica. Estudo quase exper...

Diagnostic ultrasound assessment of deep fascia sliding mobility in vivo: A sco...

Failure of fascial sliding may occur in cases of excessive or inappropriate use, trauma, or surgery, resulting in local inflammation, pain, sensitization, and potential dysfunction. Therefore, the mechanical properties of fascial tissues, including their mobility, have been evaluated in vivo by ultrasound (US) imaging. However, this seems to be a method that is not yet properly standardized nor validated. To id...

Failure of fascial sliding may occur in cases of excessive or inappropriate use, trauma, or surgery, resulting in local inflammation, pain, sensitization, and potential dysfunction. Therefore, the mechanical properties of fascial tissues, including their mobility, have been evaluated in vivo by ultra-sound (US) imaging. However, this seems to be a method that is not yet properly standardized nor validated. To i...
