Few studies have previously evaluated isokinetic parameters in female soccer players in comparison to those in males. The aim of this study was to describe normative quadriceps (Q) and hamstring (H) muscle strength values in professional female soccer players and to examine differences between dominant leg (DL) and nondominant leg (NDL). A standard...

The aim of this study was to determine blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) responses triggered during an isokinetic testing protocol in professional soccer players and compare cardiovascular parameters at completion of this isokinetic protocol with those during a treadmill test. Using purposive sampling, 63 professional soccer players were recr...

Introduction Isokinetics is a tool commonly used in professional soccer. There is ongoing debate among researchers as to the isokinetic reference values a player should have. Objectives To determine the absolute peak torque (PT) and average work of professional soccer players in relation to their positions on the field, and to establish the refere...

Objective: To assess the functionality of the affected upper limb in children diagnosed with hemiplegia aged between 4 and 8 years after applying low-intensity modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT). Methods: Prospective case series study. A mCIMT protocol was applied for five weeks, with two hours of containment per day. The study...

Purpose: To report on the preliminary aquatic physical therapy core sets for children and youth with neurological disorders using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-children and youth version. Methods: A formal and structured consensus process was developed, integrating the findings of preparatory studies: a s...

The article entitled "Kinesio Taping for chronic low back pain: A systematic review" (Nelson, 2016), is a systematic review that investigates the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT) on subjects with chronic low back pain. Few high quality studies have investigated the effect of KT on low back pain, and this one found 10 studies and selected 5 of those....

Objectives: To explore the experiences regarding aquatic physiotherapy among parents of children with cerebral palsy and to identify a list of relevant intervention categories for aquatic physiotherapy treatments. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups using the components of the International Classification of Functio...

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the possible alterations in postural control during upright standing in subjects with non-specific chronic low back pain and the effect of Kinesio taping on the postural control. Methods Twenty subjects with non-specific chronic low back pain and twenty healthy subjects participated in this study. T...

Objective: To identify intervention categories encountered by physical therapists working in aquatic therapy with disabled children, using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth (ICF-CY). Methods: Aquatic physical therapists were asked to describe concepts related to the functioning of disabled...

Objective To determine the effect of using kinesiotaping in the peroneus longus muscle, the peroneus brevis muscle and the anterior tibiofibular ligament, over a group of subject without functional instability of ankle. Materials and methods A random, controlled, double blind clinic study was developed. The sample group was made up of 30 students o...

Objective To investigate (1) the effect of spray and stretch (SS) versus control on reducing post-needling soreness of one latent myofascial trigger point (MTrP) and (2) if higher levels of psychological distress are associated with increased post-needling pain intensity. Design A 72-hour follow-up, single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setti...

Muscle fatigue of the trunk extensor musculature plays a considerable role in chronic low back pain (LBP). The underlying physiology of fatigue is complex and not fully understood. The Kinesio® Taping (KT) supports damaged structures while allowing mobility and at the same time may influence some of the mechanisms associated with muscle fatigue suc...

To investigate the short-term effect of a mixed-Kinesio Taping (KT) model on range of ankle motion (ROAM), gait, pain, perimeter of lower limb and quality of life in postmenopausal women with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Double-blinded randomized clinical trial. Clinical setting. 130 consecutive postmenopausal females (mean age 65.44 ±14.7 S...

Objetivo: Valorar la evolución de la funcionalidad de la extremidad superior afectada en una niña con hemiplejia tras aplicar un protocolo de Terapia de movimiento inducido por restricción modificada. Material y Métodos: El estudio se realiza en una niña de 5 años de edad, diagnosticada de hemiplejia espástica derecha. La función manual de la extre...

Objective: To assess the efficacy of Kinesio taping (KT) on venous symptoms, quality of life, severity, pain, edema, range of ankle motion (ROAM), and peripheral muscle myoelectrical activity in lower limbs of postmenopausal women with mild chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Design: Double-blinded randomized controlled trial with concealed allo...

El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar el efecto de la TBA (BOTOXâ) en la amplitud articular del tobillo durante la marcha en pacientes afectos de PCI. La muestra estuvo formada por 9 niños con una media de 6 años de edad distribuyéndose en 4 grupos de estudio: control, hemipléjico, dipléjico I y dipléjico II. Las variables cuantificadas fueron...

Introduction: On handball is decisive the throwing on goal and its success depends on the speed and accuracy. Relevance: The Kinesio tape is sometimes used to improve athletic performance. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyse changes in the parameters of speed and accuracy at the in support and no career throwing of handball after ap...
