Acute low back pain can impair motor control, yet its effects on force steadiness and cortical activity remain unclear. Thirty-three healthy adults (25 men, 8 women) performed a sustained spinal extension task at 20% of their maximum voluntary contraction under pre- and during-pain conditions induced by a hypertonic saline injection, as well as pre- and post-isotonic injection. Electromyography was recorded fro...

O objetivo do estudo foi comparar o comportamento do COP e do sentido de posição articular passivo em indivíduos com e sem instabilidade de tornozelo, e correlacionar as variáveis de COP e sentido de posição articular passivo. Participaram 20 indivíduos, divididos em dois grupos: grupo estável (GE) e grupo instável (GI). A avaliação do COP foi feita com o teste de apoio unipodal, com olhos abertos e fechados so...
