Impact of post-COVID-19 condition on health status and functional capacity: a c...
Pereira, Andreia; Amaral, Luísa; Dias, Inês; Magalhães, André; Abreu, Verónica; Esteves, Mário; Vilarinho, Rui; Cervaens, Mariana; Vilarinho, RuiTo assess health status and functional capacity in adults with post-COVID-19 condition. Observational, retrospective cross-sectional study. Outpatients from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital Fernando Pessoa, Porto, Portugal, were included. A convenient sample included 54 participants aged over 18 years old (52.4 6 15.5 years, 61% female), with diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection ...
Portuguese translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the ...
Cervaens, Mariana; Vilarinho, Rui; Pereira, Jéssica; Magalhães, André; Esteves, Mário; Vilarinho, Rui; Abreu, Verónica; Amaral, LuísaThe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) scale assesses the severity of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), yet a European Portuguese translation is lacking. To translate, cross-culturally adapt and to examine the psychometric properties (construct validity and reliability) of the TMJ scale. Translation and cultural adaptation were carried out according to international recommendations, including initial translat...
Total forearm support during a typing task may reduce the risk of Trapezius' My...
Santiago, Rui José; Baptista, João Santos; Magalhães, André; Costa, José TorresEvaluate the influence of alternating the position of the upper limbs, between fully supported and unsupported forearms, in the Upper Trapezius (UT) activity during a typing task on a straight-edged desk. Ergonomic barriers, such as reduced desk area, is one of the reasons that force computer users to work without supporting their forearms. Unsupported forearms may lead to increased UT muscle fatigue, increasin...
Impact of a ten-minute typing task in the development of trapezius myalgia
Santiago, Rui José; Baptista, João Santos; Magalhães, André; Costa, José TorresComputer use, as in typing, might contribute to trapezius myalgia (TM) development by increasing upper trapezius (UT) muscle fatigue. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether 10 min of performing a typing task by a population at risk would show significant changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) measurements. Supported and unsupported forearms postures are compare...
Results of a feasibility randomised controlled trial of osteopathy on neck-shou...
Santiago, Rui José; Esteves, Jorge Eduardo; Baptista, João Santos; Magalhães, André; Costa, José TorresComputer use is a well-known source of chronic pain, leading to absenteeism and reduced productivity and well-being. This study evaluated the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomised controlled trial. Several methodological variables defined trial feasibility. Of 77 participants interested, 30 were included and randomised into three groups of ten. All participants concluded the study, and all the data ...
Contrast set mining in temporal databases
Magalhães, André; Azevedo, Paulo J.Understanding the underlying differences between groups or classes in certain contexts can be of the utmost importance. Contrast set mining relies on discovering significant patterns by contrasting two or more groups. A contrast set is a conjunction of attribute–value pairs that differ meaningfully in its distribution across groups. A previously proposed technique is rules for contrast sets, which seeks to expr...
Node staging today
Fougo, José Luís; Osório, Fernando; Costa, Susy; Magalhães, AndréThe need to perform an Axillary Dissection when the Sentinel Node is metastasized, in Breast Cancer patients, is being questioned. Most part of the patients do not have any additional metastasis in the Non Sentinel Nodes and, in many cases, the decision to perform adjuvant treatments is not dependent on the axillary nodes analysis. The recent publication of the randomized trial ACOSOG Z0011 launched the discuss...
