The influence of artificial breast volume induction on postural stability, post...
Guedes, Diana C.; Carneiro, Daniela Ferreira; Alves, Leonel Agostinho Teixeira; Melo, Ana S. C.; Moreira, Juliana; Cunha, Bruno; Santos, RubimThe percentage of breast augmentations has increased in recent years alongside the frequency of implant removals. Musculoskeletal and postural disorders are often overlooked during this removal process. Research indicates that excess anterior load from breast implants can disrupt postural control and potentially lead to short- or long-term musculoskeletal dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate the immediate c...

Melo, Ana; Taylor, Janet L.; Ferreira, Ricardo; CUNHA, BRUNO; Ascenção, Manuel; Sousa, Vítor; Cruz, Eduardo B.; Vilas-Boas, J. PauloIn chronic shoulder pain, adaptations in the nervous system such as in motoneuron excitability, could contribute to impairments in scapular muscles, perpetuation and recurrence of pain and reduced improvements during rehabilitation. The present cross-sectional study aims to compare trapezius neural excitability between symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects. In 12 participants with chronic shoulder pain (symptom...
