Gait characterization and analysis of hereditary amyloidosis associated with tr...
Vilas-Boas, Maria do Carmo; Fonseca, Pedro Filipe Pereira; Sousa, Inês Martins; Cardoso, Márcio Neves; Cunha, João Paulo Silva; Coelho, TeresaHereditary amyloidosis associated with transthyretin (ATTRv), is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by length-dependent symmetric polyneuropathy that has gait impairment as one of its consequences. The gait pattern of V30M ATTRv amyloidosis patients has been described as similar to that of diabetic neuropathy, associated with steppage, but has never been quantitatively characterized. In this study ...
Biomechanical Features of Backstroke to Breaststroke Transition Techniques in A...
Chainok, Phornpot; de Jesus, Karla; Mourão, Luis; Fonseca, Pedro Filipe Pereira; Zacca, Rodrigo; Fernandes, Ricardo J.; Vilas-Boas, João PauloThis study aimed to identify the biomechanical features of backstroke to breaststroke transition techniques (open, somersault, bucket, and crossover) in age-group swimmers. Eighteen preadolescent swimmers (12.2 ± 0.4 years old and 3–4 Tanner stages) underwent 4 weeks of systematic contextual interference training, comprising 16 sessions (40 min·session−1). Soon after, experimental testing was conducted where sw...
