Functional asymmetries after 6 months of ACL reconstruction: a cross‐sectional ...
Nuno, Sérgio Loureiro; Romero‐Morales, Carlos; López‐López, Daniel; Losa‐Iglesias, Marta Elena; Becerro‐de‐Bengoa‐Vallejo, Ricardo; Gómez‐Salgado, JuanFunctional tests commonly assess athletes' readiness to return to sports after knee surgery. Despite this, there are still more studies on clinical and patient-reported outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine differences and combinations of various functional performances within and between athletes 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) for the first time (ACLR-I gro...
Impact of lymphedema on foot-health-related quality of life: a case-control inv...
Monteiro, Ana Júlia; de Labra, Carmen; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Dias, Adriano; Becerro-de-Bengoa-Vallejo, Ricardo; Silva-Migueis, HelenaObjective: To evaluate the foot-health-related quality of life in individuals with versus without lower-limb lymphedema. Methods: A case-control study was carried out in an academic clinic in Lisbon, Portugal. Eighty participants (40 controls and 40 with lymphedema) were included in the study. The researchers examined sociodemographic and clinical data and foot-health-related quality of life in both groups. In ...
Lower limb dynamic activity significantly reduces foot skin perfusion: explorin...
Florindo, Margarida; Nuno, Sérgio Loureiro; Rodrigues, Luis MonteiroIntroduction: The human lower limb is widely used as a model to study in vivo microcirculatory physiology and pathophysiology. It is a preferential target for critical comorbidities (overweight, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease). Movement and activity are consistently regarded as beneficial, but the related adaptive physiology is still poorly understood. Our goal was to better identify the foot microci...
Perfusion, stance and plantar pressure asymmetries on the human foot in the abs...
Rodrigues, Luis Monteiro; Nuno, Sérgio Loureiro; Granja, Tiago; Florindo, Margarida Esteves; Gregório, João; Atalaia, TiagoPhysiological perfusion asymmetries in the lower limb are known, although poorly understood, as are asymmetries reported in plantar pressure and stance. This preliminary study aims to explore potential relationships between perfusion and pressure variables in humans. A convenience sample of eight healthy individuals (25.25 ± 5.37 years old) of both sexes, was selected. Chosen variables were perfusion, plantar p...
