Evaluación de necesidades y expectativas ante la construcción de un espacio interactivo de comunicación, información y aprendizaje histórico-educativo
2015
Conscientes de las posibilidades pedagógicas, participativas y de colaboración científica de la Web 2.0, los autores del presente artículo se plantean la detección de las necesidades y expectativas hacia la creación de una plataforma virtual delimitada por un espacio interactivo o red social para la Historia de la Educación y el Patrimonio Histórico-educativo. Gracias a la evaluación mediante un cuestionario en el que han participado un grupo de expertos docentes e investigadores de Historia de la Educación, se han obtenido una serie de conclusiones a tener en cuenta respecto a determinados aspectos (conocimiento y uso, expectativas, componentes, etc.) que orientarán la construcción ad hoc …
Fatigue effects of marathon running on neuromuscular performance
2007
Nine experienced endurance runners performed individual marathon runs that involved several tests of neuromuscular performance before, during and after the marathon. The tests were performed with special force platform and dynamometer techniques. The results showed an overall decrease in performance from the marathon. The maximal sprint velocity decreased parabolically during the marathon, reaching the final value of 84% of the pre-marathon one. Similarly, the other test results after marathon indicated that maximal isometric knee extension torque was 78%, the performance in a special rebound test (drop jump) 84% and the 5-jump performance 92% of the pre-marathon values. These reductions we…
A step towards a field based agility test in team sports. A perspective on return to play criteria
2017
Introduction: Agility performance tests can be limited by the requirement for force plates, timing gates and expensive camera systems (Correia et al., 2012; Green, Blake, & Caulfield, 2011) making application into rehabilitation programs practically challenging. The aims of this study were to assess the reliability of a field based 1v1 agility test encompassing perceptualaction performance that could be replicated in applied settings. A secondary aim was to assess the relationship between the 1v1 agility test with a range of physical performance tests including the commonly used Y step test (Paul, Gabbett, & Nassis, 2016). Methods: Twenty-eight male rugby union players volunteered (Mean ± S…
Effect of Motor-Cognitive (Dual Task) Rehabilitation Program on Gait Biomechanics in Parkinson’s Disease: Case Study
2016
In some pathologies with impaired control gait, the dual task execution even worse these gait alterations, as in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) occurs. The aim of this paper is to present the effects of a rehabilitation program that integrates dual tasks in gait rehabilitation and prepare patients to move functionally in complex environments in a person with PD. 3D photogrammetry system and two force platform were used for the registering of kinematic and kinetic parameters, respectively. The main variables that have improved after the proposed program are: speed gait (54.87 %), step length (52.01 %), stride length (43.48 %), double support time (37.36 %), flexo-extension hip range of motion (36.…
The Effect of Simulated Leg-Length Discrepancy on the Dynamic Parameters of the Feet during Gait—Cross-Sectional Research
2021
Background: The effect of Leg-Length Discrepancy (LLD) on dynamic gait parameters has been extensively discussed. Podobarography is the study of foot-to-ground pressure distribution. It has been used to test plantar footprint deviations that could reveal pathology. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of simulated LLD on dynamic gait parameters measured with a pressure platform in healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty-seven healthy subjects participated in observational cross-sectional research. A procedure was performed to capture the dynamic parameters of each participant under five different simulated LLD conditions. Support time, mean pressure, and peak pressure measur…
Relationships Between Standing Balance and Symmetry Measurements in Patients Following Recent Strokes (≤3 Weeks) or Older Strokes (≥6 Months)
2004
Abstract Background and Purpose. The Functional Standing Balance (FSB) Scale was designed to obtain measurements of standing balance and to identify the problems typically faced by people with stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of measurements obtained with the FSB Scale for use in the acute and chronic phases of stroke by comparing the measurements obtained with the FSB Scale with those obtained for postural sway and lateral symmetry by use of a force platform. Subjects and Methods. Measurements were obtained for 26 people with recent strokes (ie, strokes within 3 weeks of data collection) and for 28 people with long-standing strokes (ie, strokes of 6 months'…
AB0929 Balance in fibromyalgia is not related with lower limb strength
2017
Background Postural control, that depends on many sensory contributors and motor skills, is altered in people with fibromyalgia (FM) 1–3. Knowing those contributors that could be impaired in this population is important to design an appropriate balance therapy. Objectives Due to the fact that people with FM use to present a strength loss 7, our main goal was to explore the relation between postural control and lower limb strength in this population. Further, the sensory inputs contributors to the postural control were assessed. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 40 FM patients. A force platform was used to assess postural control under five bipedal conditions: i) e…
Impact of selected magnetic fields on the therapeutic effect in patients with lumbar discopathy: A prospective, randomized, single-blinded, and place…
2018
Background. Interdisciplinary physical therapy together with pharmacological treatment constitute conservative treatment strategies related to low back pain (LBP). There is still a lack of high quality studies aimed at an objective evaluation of physiotherapeutic procedures according to their effectiveness in LBP. Objectives. The aim of this study is to carry out a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, and placebocontrolled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of magnetic fields in discopathy-related LBP. Material and methods. A group of 177 patients was assessed for eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the end, 106 patients were randomly assigned into 5 comp…
Zināšanu pārbaudes testi izmantošanai viedierīcēs
2018
Diplomdarbā aprakstītā pētījuma mērķis izpētīt mobilo testu izmantošanas aktualitāti un pielietošanas iespējas, lai veicinātu to izmantošanu pedagoģiskajā procesā. Pētījumam izmantoto datu ieguves kvalitatīvās metodes ir intervijas un platformu analīze, kvantitatīvā - pedagogu aptauja. Interviju respondenti ir sākumskolas, vidusskolas un augstskolas pedagogi, kā arī Uzdevumi.lv direktors Edgars Škutāns.

Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka viedierīcērs izmantojamo zināšanu pārbaudes testu galvenās priekšrocības ir automātiska…
Archaeometric characterization and 3D survey: new perspectives for monitoring and valorization of Morgantina silver Treasure (Sicily)
2015
The Morgantina silver Treasure belonging to the collections of the Archaeological Museum of Aidone (Sicily) were involved in a 3D survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring over time of the finds, in anticipation of their temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, for a period of four years. According to a multidisciplinary approach, it has been developed a scientific and methodological protocol based on non-invasive techniques to achieve a complete and integrated knowledge of the precious items, of their conservation state and increasing their valorisation. All acquired data, i.e. 3D models, UV fluorescence and X-Ray images and chemical information, will be made …
