Effect of Kinesio® taping on static and dynamic balance after anterior cruciate...
Sousa, João; Ribeiro, Fernando; Lopes, Mário; Gonçalves, Rui Soles; Torres, RuiAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common knee injuries among athletes (Evans and Nielson, 2022). ACL reconstruction is, in general, the solution for the rupture of ACL; the torn ligament is replaced with a tissue graft from another surrounding functional structure of the knee (Rochmania et al., 2012). The functional changes that occur after ACL reconstruction comprise deficits of muscl...
Exploring muscle fatigue related to repetitive work in an industrial setting - ...
Lopes, Susana; Lopes, Mário; Rodrigues, Mário; Costa, Rui; Coelho, Augusto Sousa; Alvarelhão, JoaquimWork-related musculoskeletal disorders, a major public health problem, are mainly caused by the task nature and the work environment. One of the most important risk factors for the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders is muscle fatigue. Therefore, its assessment can contribute to the application of preventive measures. Many studies have evaluated muscle fatigue associated with work tasks in lab...
Kinesiology tape increases muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity: Effects of t...
Lopes, Mário; Torres, Rui; Romão, Dalila; Dias, Maria; Valerio, Sara; Espejo-Antúnez, Luís; Costa, Rui; Ribeiro, FernandoThe claim that the effects of kinesiology tape are different depending on the direction of tape application needs to be clearly ascertained. This study aimed to determine the immediate effects of two forearm kinesiology tape applications on muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity of young individuals. Thirty-nine participants (15 men and 24 women) were randomized (1:1:1) to: the facilitatory group, receiving kin...
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics modeling of elevated structures impacted by tsu...
Reis, Cláudia; Barbosa, André R.; Figueiredo, Jorge; Clain, Stéphane; Lopes, Mário; Baptista, Maria AnaAccurate characterization of the response of coastal structures when subjected to tsunami-like waves is important for structural engineering assessment and design. The weakly-compressive Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) model can theoretically investigate such phenomena in both horizontal and vertical directions. Yet, the convergence of the solutions is sensitive to physical and numerical parameters used in...

Characterization of plasma SDS-protein aggregation profile of patients with hea...
Gouveia, Marisol; Schmidt, Cristine; Teixeira, Manuel; Lopes, Mário; Aveiro, Susana; Domingues, Pedro; Xia, Ke; Colón, Wilfredo; Vitorino, RuiThis study characterizes the plasma levels and composition of SDS-resistant aggregates (SRAs) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) to infer molecular pathways associated with disease and/or proteostasis disruption. Twenty adults (ten with HFpEF and ten age-matched individuals) were included. Circulating SRAs were resolved by diagonal two-dimensional SDS-PAGE, and their protein...
Experimentally validated numerical models to assess tsunami hydrodynamic force ...
Reis, Cláudia; Clain, Stéphane; Figueiredo, Jorge; Barbosa, André R.; Baptista, Maria Ana; Lopes, MárioRecently, the North American and Japanese authorities began combining the tsunami forces with other loads in their structural design guidelines. Nonetheless, due to the infrequent nature of tsunamis, the provisions may benefit from complementary insights on the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the extreme phenomena and their interaction with coastal structures. The goal of this paper is to explo...

Neuromuscular taping does not change fibularis longus latency time and postural...
Correia, Christophe; Lopes, Susana; Gonçalves, Rafael; Torres, Rui; Gonçalves, Pedro; Rodrigues, Mário; Costa, Rui; Lopes, Mário; Ribeiro, FernandoAnkle sprains are a common injury and fibularis longus plays an important role improving functional stability. Neuromuscular tape seems to improve muscle force, although little is known regarding its effect on latency time.
Seismic resistance of earth construction in Portugal
Gomes, Maria Idália; Lopes, Mário; Brito, Jorge deThis paper presents an assessment of the potential seismic performance of new earth construction in Portugal. Results of a parametric study on a properly designed rammed earth construction, considering several strengthening solutions, are presented and discussed. It is concluded that single storey houses can have acceptable seismic performance even in high seismicity areas, provided that the structure is adequa...
