Investigação em Medicina Física e Reabilitação: Aspectos Actuais

aa; Research in rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and support of individuals with disabilities, activity limitations, and participation restrictions, with the aim of improving their functionality and quality of life. Science and research in PRM are relatively young, like the specialty, and have some peculiar challenges and specificities. The methodology of re...

Fear Avoidance Beliefs in Upper-Extremity Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions: Seco...

Background. Fear-avoidance beliefs (FAB) have been associated with poorer prognosis and decreased adherence to exercise-based treatments in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. However, the impact of high FAB on adherence and outcomes in upper extremity MSK (UEMSK) pain is poorly explored, particularly through exercise-based digital care programs (DCP). Objective. Assess the adherence levels, clinical outcomes and satis...

Development of a Biomechanical Device for Parameter Quantification Associated w...

The "sit-to-stand" (STS) movement is essential during activities of daily living (ADL). In individuals with physical-motor diseases, its execution and repetition increases activity levels, which is crucial for a good motor rehabilitation process and daily training. Interestingly, there are no sit-to-stand devices that allow a quantitative assessment of the key variables that happen during STS, and there is a ne...

Effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted asynchronous telerehabilitation in muscul...

Background: Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Telerehabilitation may be a viable option in the management of these conditions, facilitating access and patient adherence. Nevertheless, the impact of biofeedback- assisted asynchronous telerehabilitation remains unknown. Objective: To systematically review and assess the effectiveness of exercise-based asynchronous biofeedba...

Editorial: Pursuing quality education in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Engagement and Utilization of a Complete Remote Digital Care Program for Muscul...

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the number one cause of disability worldwide. Digital care programs (DCPs) for MSK pain management have arisen as alternative care delivery models to circumvent challenges in accessibility of conventional therapy. Despite the potential of DCPs to reduce inequities in accessing care, the outcomes of such interventions in rural and urban populations have yet to be ...

Sleep Disturbance in Musculoskeletal Conditions: Impact of a Digital Care Program

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is highly prevalent worldwide, resulting in significant disability, and comorbid sleep disturbances. Digital therapy for MSK pain can provide significant improvements in care access, alongside pain and disability reductions. However, studies on the effect of such programs on sleep are lacking. Purpose: To evaluate the impact on pain-related sleep impairment after a 12-week...

Telerehabilitation of acute musculoskeletal multi-disorders: prospective, singl...

Background: Acute musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is very common and associated with impaired productivity and high economic burden. Access to timely and personalized, evidence-based care is key to improve outcomes while reducing healthcare expenditure. Digital interventions can facilitate access and ensure care scalability. Objective: Present the feasibility and results of a fully remote digital care program (DCP) ...

Biomechanical Device for Measurement of Adductors Strength and Aid in Self-Cath...

Intermittent vesical self-catheterisation is a legitimate and safe technique that has been reported since the 1970s as a solution for the treatment and prevention of vesical urinary complications resulting from spinal cord injury. This practice, using clean technology, has been asserting itself as one of the best alternatives for people with neurogenic bladder. However, adherence is not complete due to some bar...

Asynchronous and Tailored Digital Rehabilitation of Chronic Shoulder Pain: A Pr...

Background: Chronic shoulder pain (SP) is responsible for significant morbidity, decreased quality of life and impaired work ability, resulting in high socioeconomic burden. Successful SP management is dependent on adherence and compliance with effective evidence-based interventions. Digital solutions may improve accessibility to such treatments, increasing convenience, while reducing healthcare-related costs. ...
