Background The implementation of Spain’s Dependency Law aimed to enhance care for those with dependency needs. However, its focus on privatized service provision has raised concerns about potential inequalities in working conditions for geriatric nursing assistants working in long-term care, particularly regarding resources, workload, and labour pr...

Introduction Landing is a critical motor skill included in many activities performed in the natural environment by young children. Yet, landing is critically relevance to ensure proper stability and reduce injury. Furthermore, landing is an integral part of many fundamental motor skills which have been linked to greater physical activity, sport par...

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between physical activity and the incidence of dementia in a cohort of people aged 50 years or older without dementia from different countries in Europe between the years 2013 and 2015. Methods: Prospective longitudinal design study (2013-2015) with a sample of 46,141 people withou...

Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been associated with altered trunk muscle responses as well as increased muscle fatigability. CLBP patients and fatigued healthy subjects could experience similar neuromuscular strategies to attempt to protect the spine. The current study examined muscle activation differences between healthy and CLBP sub...

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) affects a large proportion of the population and has been associated with different muscle dysfunctions. However, there is no consensus regarding muscle electromyography and kinematic patterns during fatiguing tasks. Objective: To examine whether trunk and limb muscle fatigability and activation patterns...

Background: Most of the EMG analysis algorithms developed to date don't detect the whole sequence of rhythmic and subtle changes that take place during the process of trunk stabilization. Indeed, the few recent methods that are capable of assessing these important EMG characteristics are highly complex and not accessible in most applied clinic con...

Background: Measuring isometric strength is necessary in many areas of health and sport. However, trunk muscles have some particular characteristics that make them difficult to evaluate with simple, inexpensive instruments. Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of an instrument constructed with a hand-held dynamometer and a metalli...

Objectiu: Valorar la capacitat de detecció de la lumbàlgia crònica inespecífica que tenen els indicadors: proporcionalitat dels temps de resistència entre extensors, flexors i musculatura lateral; temps de resistència dels extensors, Sorensen test i la fatigabilitat mitjançant electromiografia (EMG) per superfície. Igualment, valorar la influència...
