Manual de atividade física adaptada para pessoas com paralisia cerebral
João, Filipa; Vila-Nova, Fábio; Pereira, Leonor Moniz; Mota, Patrícia; Carvalho, Jorge Vilela de; Virella, Daniel; Alvarelhão, JoséPreâmbulo ao manual: O exercício, a prática regular da atividade física, a recreação, o lazer e o desporto têm-se revelado, nos últimos tempos, como excelentes e poderosos instrumentos para a reabilitação, a inclusão social e consciencialização da sociedade para o acesso e a participação cívica e ativa das pessoas com paralisia cerebral. Verifica-se que as pessoas com paralisia cerebral tendem a ter estilos de ...
The gait profile score to assess the effects of ankle-foot orthoses in the gait...
Ricardo, Diogo; Raposo, Maria; Veloso, António; João, FilipaIntroduction: The ankle-foot orthosis is the most common non-invasive therapeutic intervention used to correct gait deviations, especially in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Several studies demonstrated that its use improved spatio-temporal and kinematic outcomes. However, biomechanical reports can be complex and may need experience to correctly interpret the results. Gait deviation indices, such as the Gait...
Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: are plantar pressure insoles a r...
Raposo, Maria Raquel; Ricardo, Diogo; Teles, Júlia; Veloso, António Prieto; João, FilipaCerebral palsy (CP) is a common cause of motor disability, and pedobarography is a useful, non-invasive, portable, and accessible tool; it is easy to use in a clinical setting; and can provide plenty of information about a foot–soil interaction and gait deviations. The reliability of this method in children with CP is lacking. The aim of this study is to investigate test-retest reliability and minimal detectabl...
Evaluation of upper limb joint contribution to racket head speed in elite tenni...
Pedro, Bruno; João, Filipa; Lara, Jerusa P. R.; Cabral, Silvia; Carvalho, João; Veloso, António P.This study aimed to quantify and compare the upper limb angular kinematics and its contributions to the racket head speed between the cross-court (CC) and inside-out (IO) attacking tennis forehand of elite tennis players in a competitive environment. A new approach was used to study the forehand drive with mini-inertial sensors of motion capture to record the kinematic data. Six strokes in each direction per pa...
Combined use of chitosan and olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to...
Alvites, Rui D.; Branquinho, Mariana V.; Sousa, Ana C.; Amorim, Irina; Magalhães, Rui; João, Filipa; Almeida, Diogo; Amado, Sandra; Prada, JustinaPeripheral nerve injury remains a clinical challenge with severe physiological and functional consequences. Despite the existence of multiple possible therapeutic approaches, until now, there is no consensus regarding the advantages of each option or the best methodology in promoting nerve regeneration. Regenerative medicine is a promise to overcome this medical limitation, and in this work, chitosan nerve guid...
Effects of ankle foot orthoses on the gait patterns in children with spastic bi...
Ricardo, Diogo; Raposo, Maria; Cruz, Eduardo; Oliveira, Raul; Carnide, Filomena; Veloso, António; João, FilipaBackground: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor disability in children and can cause severe gait deviations. The sagittal gait patterns classification for children with bilateral CP is an important guideline for the planning of the rehabilitation process. Ankle foot orthoses should improve the biomechanical parameters of pathological gait in the sagittal plane. Methods: A systematic search of ...
Test-retest reliability of a 6DoF marker set for gait analysis in cerebral pals...
Ricardo, Diogo; Teles, Júlia; Raposo, Maria Raquel; Veloso, António Prieto; João, FilipaBackground: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex pathology that describes a group of motor disorders with different presentations and functional levels. Three-dimensional gait analysis is widely used in the assessment of CP children to assist in clinical decision-making. Thus, it is crucial to assess the repeatability of gait measurements to evaluate the progress of the rehabilitation process. The purpose of the st...
Reliability of lower extremity kinematics in three-dimensional gait measurement...
Ricardo, Diogo; Teles, Júlia; Raposo, Maria; Veloso, António; João, FilipaBackground: Cerebral Palsy is a complex pathology that describes a group of motor disorders with different presentations and functional levels. Three-dimensional gait analysis is used in the assessment of CP children to assist in clinical decision-making and assessing outcomes in the rehabilitation process. Due to the CP intra-subject gait variability, it’s crucial to access the repeated gait measurements to ev...

Diastasis recti during pregnancy and postpartum
Mota, Patrícia; Pascoal, Augusto Gil; Vaz, Cristiana; João, Filipa; Veloso, António; Bø, KariDiastasis recti abdominis (DRA) or increased inter-rectus distance (IRD) is characterized by the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles. It has its onset during pregnancy and the first weeks following childbirth. The reliability of the instruments used to assess this condition is unclear. There is scant knowledge on the prevalence and risk factors for development of the condition. There is little evidence o...
