Effects of compressive stockings and standard stockings in skin temperature and pressure pain threshold in runners with functional ankle equinus condition
(MDPI, 2018)
[Abstract] Objective: To assess clinical differences in the Achilles tendons of runners with ankle equinus wearing either compressive or standard stockings. Design: Case–control study. Methods: In this study, we conducted ...
Upper-Limb Kinematic Behavior and Performance Fatigability of Elderly Participants Performing an Isometric Task: A Quasi-Experimental Study
(MDPI, 2023-04)
[Abstract] Upper-limb position-sustained tasks (ULPSIT) are involved in several activities of daily living and are associated with high metabolic and ventilatory demand and fatigue. In older people, this can be critical ...
Influence of Different Hardness Custom Foot Insoles in the Electromyography Activity Patterns of the Thigh and Hip Muscles during Motorcycling Sport: A Crossover Study
(MDPI AG, 2020-03)
[Abstract] Nowadays, the use of insoles in sport practice have been recognized to decrease the foot and lower limb injury patterns. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of four types of hardness insoles (HI) in ...
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 ...
Effectiveness of Custom Foot Insoles to Decrease Plantar Pressure: A Cross-over Randomized Trial Study
(MDPI, 2022-03)
[Abstract] Motorsport requires a high physical demand in the development of different body
positions. To obtain the maximum efficiency in elite and amateur motorcycling depends
on a good biomechanical performance [1,2]. ...
Influence of an Upper Limb Isometric Task in Perceived and Performance Fatigability of Elderly Subjects: A Quasi-Experimental Study
(MDPI, 2022-08)
[Abstract] Isometric activity can be used as a strategy to improve health, fitness, and functional performance in the elderly population, but differences in fatigability may occur. This study aimed to understand fatigability ...
Impact of Asthma on Plantar Pressures in a Sample of Adult Patients: A Case-Control Study
(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 ...
Sex Differences in the Footprint Analysis During the Entire Gait Cycle in a Functional Equinus Condition: Novel Cross Sectional Research
(MDPI, 2019-09)
[Abstract] Some studies suggest that gender is related to gait. Females show significantly higher ankle motion and vertical ground reaction forces. Males have significantly larger plantar contact surface areas in all regions ...
Heel Height as an Etiology of Hallux Abductus Valgus Development: An electromagnetic Static and Dynamic First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Study
(MDPI, 2019)
[Abstract] Background: Hallux abductus valgus (HAV) is a forefoot condition produced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Shoes with a high heel height and a typical narrow tip toe box can induce deviations in both the ...
Eyes-Open Versus Eyes-Closed Somatosensory Motor Balance in Professional Soccer Players With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Case-Control Study
(SAGE, 2021-03)
[Abstract] Background:
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a condition defined by certain structural and functional deficits in the ankle joint complex after acute ankle injury. These deficits include pathological joint ...
