Intra and Intersession Repeatability and Reliability of Dynamic Parameters in Pressure Platform Assessments on Subjects With Simulated Leg Length Discrepancy. A Cross-Sectional Research
(Associação Paulista de Medicina, 2021-08)
[Abstract] BACKGROUND:
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) may play a key role in exercise biomechanics. Although the Podoprint platform has been used in dynamic pressure studies, there are no data regarding the reliability and ...
The Impact of Depression Symptoms in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Novel Case-Control Investigation
(MDPI, 2021-03)
[Abstract] Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease and it is known to cause motor disturbances associated with musculoskeletal problems of the locomotor apparatus, and non-motor symptoms, that are believed ...

(MDPI, 2021-11)
[Abstract] Based on the high prevalence of asthma in the population, and its relationship with various musculoskeletal and postural disorders, the aim of this study was to evaluate the plantar pressures in asthmatic patients ...
Effect of Foot Orthoses and Shoes in Parkinson’s Disease Patients: A PRISMA Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2021-11)
[Abstract] Reduced plantar foot sensation, postural instability, and gait difficulties are characteristic of Parkinson´s disease patients. A systematic review was carried out to determine the effect of the different types ...
Kinesiophobia Levels in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Case-Control Investigation
(MDPI, 2021-04-30)
[Abstract]
Background: Kinesiophobia can be an obstacle to physical and motor activity in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD affects patients’ independence in carrying out daily activities. It also impacts a ...
