Muscle strength and range of movement deficits 1 year after hip resurfacing surgery using posterior approach.
2009
The aim was to evaluate the effect of the posterior surgical approach on hip muscle strength and range of movement (ROM).Maximal isometric external and internal rotator strength of the hip muscles and bilateral leg extension strength were measured by dynamometers. Active (AROM) and passive (PROM) range of motion of the hip were measured by goniometers in 30 patients before and 3, 6 and 12 months after hip resurfacing. Postoperatively the patients were advised to return to their usual physical activities.Prior to the surgery internal rotation strength was on the same level on both sides, whereas external rotation strength of the operated hip was 26% (p0.001) lower compared with the unoperate…
Impact of an ambulatory physical activity program on balance and motor abilities of retirees: a prospective study
2020
International audience; BACKGROUND:Given the public health problem generated by posture and gait disorders, a preventive approach is essential.OBJECTIVE:We investigated the impact of an ambulatory physical activity program (APAP) on the motor skills of retirees.METHOD:Retirees ≥ 60 years were recruited in this prospective study. The APAP was supported by a French regional health insurance plan. Between inclusion (T0) and 12 weeks (T1), subjects participated in an APAP (1 hour/week) that included strengthening muscular exercises, balance work, joint flexibility exercises, one-leg-balance test (OLB), stimulation of the foot arch, and rise-from-the-floor (RFF). Timed-up-and-go test (TUG) durat…
Home-based inspiratory muscle training for management of older patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: does baseline inspirator…
2019
Background:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a clinical syndrome characterised by reduced exercise capacity. Some evidence has shown that a simple and home-based programme of inspiratory muscle training offers promising results in terms of aerobic capacity improvement in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This study aimed to investigate whether the baseline inspiratory muscle function predicts the changes in aerobic capacity (measured as peak oxygen uptake; peak VO2) after a 12-week home-based programme of inspiratory muscle training in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.Methods:A total of 45 stable symptomatic patients wi…
Effects of inspiratory muscle training in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
2013
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is remarkably common in elderly people with highly prevalent comorbid conditions. Despite its increasing in prevalence, there is no evidence-based effective therapy for HFpEF. We sought to evaluate whether inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves exercise capacity, as well as left ventricular diastolic function, biomarker profile and quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced HFpEF and nonreduced maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP).A total of 26 patients with HFpEF (median (interquartile range) age, peak exercise oxygen uptake (peak VO2) and left ventricular ejection fraction of 73 years (66-76), 10 ml/min/kg (7.6-10.5) and 72% (6…
Sensomotoro vingrinājumu izmantošana sākumskolas skolēnu ar vidēji smagiem garīgās attīstības traucējumiem runas un valodas sekmēšanā
2020
Pēdējos gados izglītības iestādēs pieaug to skolēnu ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem skaits, kuriem ir dažādi runas un valodas traucējumi. atsevišķos gadījumos runas vispār nav. lai sekmētu skolēnu ar GAT runas un valodas attīstību, mācību darbībā nepieciešams iekļaut sensomotoros vingrinājumus. sensomotoro vingrinājumu izmantošana mācību stundu laikā un logopēdijas nodarbībās, sākumskolas skolēniem ar vidēji smagiem garīgās attīstības traucējumiem sekmētu runas un valodas attīstību. Darba mērķis ir pamatojoties uz zinātniskās literatūras atziņām un praktisko darba pieredzi veikt pētījumu, lai noskaidrotu, kā sensomotoro vingrinājumu izmantošana sākumskolas skolēniem ar GAT sekmē runas un…
Theoretical approaches to behavior change in myofunctional therapy
1994
The effectiveness of myofunctional therapy depends not only on the quality of the individual exercises but also considerably on the patient's compliance. In this paper, factors are described which may decisively influence patients motivation to cooperate during treatment. Based on experience in dealing with patients, clinical studies and psychological knowledge, theoretical approaches to patient motivation are discussed, namely aspects of verbal communication, control, reward, behavior agreement as well as verbal self-control and self-reward.
The use of protein supplementation among fitness center attendees. The protein project
2014
Nowadays, in a gym context we may find three people among ten who declare protein supplements consumption. Health, physical fitness, self esteem, performance and muscle hypertrophy are usually the main reasons inducing such kind of consumption. It well documented that particularly active individuals use supplements to build muscle, gain strength or prevent future diseases and illnesses. Furthermore, scientific researchers have shown that in general people have different opinions about the use of supplements and the appropriate food to eat. As reported by Bianco and colleagues in 2011, proteins are the most widely ingested supplements in people attending commercial gyms and supplement users …
Immediate effects of the respiratory stimulation on ventilation parameters in ischemic stroke survivors: A randomized interventional study (CONSORT).
2019
Background: Post-stroke brain damage, which affects the central control of respiration, leads to various respiratory disorders. They can be caused by the weakening of the respiratory muscles and chest movements, which can indirectly contribute to an impairment of the ventilation function. The aim of the study is an objective assessment of the effect of a single-session intervention of respiratory stimulation through Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on chosen respiratory parameters and the following comparison of these changes with a group in which positioning was used (intra- and intergroup comparison). Methods: This was a randomized interventional study evaluating the respir…
The Relation Between Stretching Typology and Stretching Duration: The Effects on Range of Motion.
2018
AbstractDifferent stretching strategies and protocols are widely used to improve flexibility or maintain health, acting on the muscle tendon-unit, in order to improve the range of motion (ROM) of the joints. This review aims to evaluate the current body of literature in order to understand the relation between stretching typology and ROM, and secondly to evaluate if a relation exists between stretching volume (either as a single training session, weekly training and weekly frequency) and ROM, after long-term stretching. Twenty-three articles were considered eligible and included in the quantitative synthesis. All stretching typologies showed ROM improvements over a long-term period, however…
The Effect of Music on Movement Perception: Synchresis in Hits for HIIT
2021
Hits for HIIT consists in a research-creation project aiming to produce both musical pieces and training exercises for, on the one hand, optimizing HIIT practice and, on the other, enriching scholarly research on the relations between music and sports. These questions and their related studies have highlighted music/movement relations and the way they are perceived. In this paper we would like to outline how we attempt to build a two-way dialogue between the production of music adapted to HIIT and the design of workouts based on the music.
