The effect of proprioceptive training in the prevention of tibiotarsal injuries
Estorninho, Ana; Vinagre, Daniela; Salvador, Ricardo; Nunes, Tiago; Amaral, Vanda; Sá, Nanci; Carolino, ElisabeteObjectives – To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of three different types of proprioceptive training and their relationship in reducing the incidence of ankle sprains in male youth soccer players. Method – Muscle strength in tibiotarsal joint and proprioceptivity were evaluated and compared between three groups, with supervised proprioceptive training (GE), another unsupervised (GC1), and another with tec...
Phase-IIa randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, parallel group trial on an...
Luckhardt, Christina; Schütz, Magdalena; Mühlherr, Andreas; Mössinger, Hannah; Boxhoorn, Sara; Dempfle, Astrid; Salvador, Ricardo; Ruffini, GiulioAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and interaction, and stereotyped, repetitive behaviour and sensory interests. To date, there is no effective medication that can improve social communication and interaction in ASD, and effect sizes of behaviour-based psychotherapy remain in the low to medium range. Consequently, there is a clear need for new treatment options. ASD...

Fernandes, Sofia Rita; Salvador, Ricardo; Wenger, Cornelia; Carvalho, Mamede; Miranda, Pedro CavaleiroObjective: Our aim was to perform a computational study of the electric field (E-field) generated by transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) applied over the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal cord, in order to assess possible neuromodulatory effects on spinal cord circuitry related with lower limb functions. Approach: A realistic volume conductor model of the human body consisting of 14 tissue...

Optimization of multiple coils immersed in a conducting liquid for half-hemisph...
Sousa, Sonia C. P.; Almeida, Jorge; Cavaleiro Miranda, Pedro; Salvador, Ricardo; Silvestre, Joao; Simoes, Hugo; Crespo, PauloTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was proposed in 1985. Nevertheless, its wider use in the treatment of several neurologic diseases has been hindered by its inability to stimulate deep-brain regions. This is mainly due to the physical limiting effect arising from the presence of surface discontinuities, particularly between the scalp and air. Here, we present the optimization of a system of large multiple...
