- •
Impaired movements and alignments may be associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
- •
Signs of impaired alignments and movements may be seen before there are symptoms.
- •
Treatment is based on using the findings of making the MSI diagnosis to correct the performance of daily activities.
- •
Resistance exercise (>12 weeks) appears to increase in VO2max in diabetic patients.
- •
Resistance exercise didn’t decrease the glycemic level compared to aerobic exercises.
- •
The lipid profile of DM patients was the same in both types of exercise.
- •
The PEP device at 10cmH2O may be a potential home treatment for stroke group.
- •
The intensities above 10cmH2O may lead to lung hyperinflation in stroke group.
- •
Stroke group reduced shortening velocity index for expiratory muscles during use PEP.
- •
LLLT and PRP can be used to enhance muscle regeneration.
- •
The association of LLLT with PRP produces better treatment than their use in isolation.
- •
LLLT could modulate the production of collagen during muscle injury.
- •
HIV-positive subjects present higher strength indices for the dominant versus the non-dominant leg.
- •
Strength asymmetry between limbs was observed in up to 58% of subjects.
- •
Lower-limb strength asymmetry is associated with impaired balance and gait.
- •
The structure, functionality and reliability of a custom-made vibratory system were fully described.
- •
This custom-made vibratory system (RCVibro System) is highly reliable.
- •
RCVibro System can be useful in clinical and research basis.
- •
Elderly women with knee osteoarthritis are at risk of developing limitations physical.
- •
Hidrotherapy improves pain, function, muscle power and strength in older women with knee osteoarthritis.
- •
Hydrotherapy is likely to be an effective treatment option for these patients.
- •
Muscle strength is a better predictor of functional performance than muscle quality.
- •
Extended gait speed is a functionally relevant measure in healthy 50–70y women.
- •
Healthy adults need functional assessments that allow performance toward maximum.
- •
Subjective suffering mediated the relationship between depression and functional disability regardless of the type of treatment.
- •
Beliefs about chance events mediated the relationship between depression and functional disability only in the physical therapy treatment.
- •
Intervention should target cognitive and psychological factors in LBP patients.
- •
Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HBPR) has been used in several chronic pulmonary obstructive diseases.
- •
HBPR has never been investigated in patients with bronchiectasis.
- •
Short- and long-term effects of HBPR will be investigated in this population.
- •
The study will provide evidence to guide recommendations about HBPR for bronchiectasis.
