Flora, Sofia; Marques, Alda; Hipólito, Nádia; Morais, Nuno; Silva, Cândida G.; Januário, Filipa; Rodrigues, Fátima; Carreira, Bruno P; Cruz, J.Introduction: This study assessed the test-retest reliability/agreement and construct validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-sf) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It also explored differences in its validity according to age, sex and GOLD airflow obstruction levels. Methods: 62 participants (68 ± 8 years, 53 males, FEV1 51 ± 23%pred) completed...

Construct validity and reliability of the Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment ...
Hipólito, Nádia; Martins, Sara; Ruivo, Adriana; Flora, Sofia; Silva, Cândida G; Marques, Alda; Brooks, Dina; Cruz, JoanaCOPD often leads to loss of independence in daily activities which may increase the dependency on the informal caregiver, resulting in caregiving burden. Several instruments have been used to assess caregiving burden in COPD; however, their measurement properties have been poorly investigated in this population. This study assessed the construct validity and reliability of the Informal Caregiver Burden Assessme...

Silva, Inês; Machado, Pedro; Flora, Sofia; Cruz, JoanaIntrodução: A crescente recomendação da prática de atividade física tem levado à necessidade de monitorização em contexto real. As pulseiras desportivas comerciais (smartbands) são uma possibilidade, uma vez que permitem obter o número de passos realizados e servir como ferramentas motivacionais. No entanto, a maioria destes dispositivos não se encontram validados. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a validade de du...
A Conversational Agent for Promoting Physical Activity Among COPD Patients
Rodrigues, Ricardo; Caceiro, Ruben; Brites, Marcelo; Flora, Sofia; Cruz, Joana; Silva, Fernando; Ribeiro, JoséChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, affecting respiratory performance of many people, limiting the airflow and is not fully reversible. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms, structural pulmonary abnormalities or impairment of lung function.

Flora, Sofia; Cruz, Joana; Tavares, Ana; Ferreira, Joana; Morais, NunoBackground/Aims: Previous research has disregarded the performance of the extensor muscle group of the trunk in balance control. The main purpose of this exploratory study was to assess the association between balance performance and endurance of the trunkextensor muscles in older adults, considering possible co-factors such as age and body mass index. Methods: A correlational and predictive cross-sectional stu...
