Raimundo, A.M.; José Parraca; Batalha, Nuno; Tomas-Carus, P.; Gusi, Narcis; Jaime BrancoThe Portuguese version of SBST questionnaire proved to be equivalent to the original English version and reliable for the Portuguese population with low back pain. Being an instrument of easy access and application it could be use in primary care
Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Therapy in Patients with Fibromyalgia: A System...
Collado-Mateo, Daniel; Adsuar, Jose C; Olivares, Pedro R; Del Pozo Cruz, Borja; Parraca, Jose A; Del Pozo Cruz, Jesus; Gusi, NarcisObjective. To review the literature on the effects of whole-body vibration therapy in patients with fibromyalgia. Design. Systematic literature review. Patients. Patients with fibromyalgia. Methods. An electronic search of the literature in four medical databases was performed to identify studies on whole-body vibration therapy that were published up to the 15th of January 2015. Results. Eight articles satisfie...
Comparative effect of two whole-body vibration exercise programs on the neuromu...
Raimundo, Armando; Batalha, Nuno; Tomás-Carús, Pablo; Leal, Alejo; Gusi, NarcisIntroduction Vibratory exercises are increasingly used in sport training and physical rehabilitation. This study aims to determine the comparative effects of two vibratory frequencies on the neuromuscular leg function in healthy young active females. Methods Twenty-four women (aged 21.9 ± 2.6 years; weight 59.9 ± 7.1 kg) were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 8 subjects: group 25 Hz (G25), group 30Hz (G30), an...
Quality of Life Measures in Fibromyalgia
Gusi, Narcis; Olivares, Pedro; Adsuar, Carmelo; Paice, A; Tomas-Carus, PabloFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, widespread and painful disorder of affecting approximately 2–3% of the general population, with an approximately 90% female preponder- ance. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome assessment is crucial in patients with FM because of their multiple symptoms, which include chronic pain, fatigue, weakness, hyperalgesia, secondary depression and allodynia. These can produce s...
Effects of neuromuscular responses during whole body vibration exercise with di...
Gusi, Narcis; Parraca, J. Alberto; Adsuar, J. Carmelo; Olivares, Pedro; Tomas-Carus, Pablohe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) exercise using different knee angles on three-dimensional acceleration received in the lumbar region and neuromuscular activation of 8 muscles that were selected in order to determine their implications for rehabilitation. Thirty physically active women (mean ± SD; 21.7 ± 1.67 years) were randomized in three groups. The first grou...
Low-frequency vibratory exercise reduces the risk of bone fracture more than wa...
Gusi, Narcis; Raimundo, Armando; Leal, AlejoBackground: Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a new type of exercise that has been increasingly tested for the ability to prevent bone fractures and osteoporosis in frail people. There are two currently marketed vibrating plates: a) the whole plate oscillates up and down; b) reciprocating vertical displacements on the left and right side of a fulcrum, increasing the lateral accelerations. A few studies have shown r...
Effects on strength of vibratory exercise compared to walking in postmenopausal...
Raimundo, Armando; Gusi, Narcis; Tomás-Carús, PabloA major problem associated with advanced adult age is the remarkable decline in functional capacity and the associated loss of independence (1). Muscle strength of the lower extremities is a major neuromuscular determinant of these losses and mobility (2). Vibration exercise is a new method of training with ameliorations on bone (3), balance (4), strength of lower extremities (5, 6) and neuromuscular performanc...
Ejercicio Físico en Personas con Fibromialgia. Documento de apoyo a las activid...
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, NarcisLa fibromialgia (FM) es una patología crónica de etiología desconocida que causa dolor generalizado y fatiga; acompañado a menudo de rigidez, sueño no reparador y ansiedad. Estos síntomas hacen que los pacientes con FM tengan una calidad de vida reducida en actividades cotidianas y laborales. Para paliar los síntomas de la FM, además del tratamiento farmacológico clásico centrado en analgésicos, antidepresivos ...
Effects of 8 months of exercise therapy in warm water for fibromyalgia on physi...
Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Gusi, Narcis; Häkkinen, Arja; Häkkinen, Keijo; Leal, Alejo; Ortega-Alonso, AlfredoIntroduction: The fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic disorder characterised by generalised pain, muscle stiffness, reduced physical condition and fatigue that limit their daily life activities. Little knowledge is available on the feasibility and effects of long-lasting physical training in warm water on major physical abilities related with everyday life in patients with FM. The aim of the present study was to...
