A coativação muscular é a ativação simultânea de músculos agonistas e antagonistas. Em pacientes com lesão do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA), o aumento da coativação muscular na extensão ativa do joelho é considerada uma adaptação neuromuscular compensatória à instabilidade anterior, aj...
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of a knee osteoarthritis model through functional, radiological and microscopic changes of the synovial membrane. METHODS: Forty eight rats were divided randomly into two groups. The first received 0.9% saline in the joint and corresponded to the control gro...

ABSTRACT Background These trials are the first randomised controlled trials of telephone-based weight management and healthy lifestyle interventions for low back pain and knee osteoarthritis. This article describes the protocol and statistical analysis plan. Method These trials are parallel randomised ...
BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication (IC) is a debilitating condition that mostly affects elderly people. IC is manifested by a decrease in ambulatory function. Individuals with IC present with motor and sensory nerve dysfunction in the lower extremities, which may lead to deficits in balance. OBJECTI...
Background: During normal aging, a reduction in walking speed and changes in stability are observed. Aim: To characterize and compare gait kinematic parameters of young (YA) and older adults (OA) at a controlled speed. Material and Methods: Gait angular kinematic parameters were analyzed in OA aged over ...
ABSTRACTOur biodynamics laboratory group has conducted large cohort biomechanical-epidemiological studies targeted at identifying the complex interactions among biomechanical, biological, hormonal, and psychosocial factors that lead to increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The find...
Background : Kinesio Taping (KT) is widely used, however the effects of KT on muscle activation and force are contradictory. Objective : To evaluate the effects of KT on knee extension force in soccer players. Method: This is a clinical trial study design. Thirty-four subjects performed two maximal isome...
O envelhecimento provoca uma série de alterações neuropsicomotoras, como a diminuiçãoda força muscular, da propriocepção, do equilíbrio, da cognição, entre outros. Os exercíciosterapêuticos visam diminuir estes déficits e contribuir para uma melhora funcional e da qualidadede vida. Objetivo...
