espanolObjetivo: Identificar, evaluar y sintetizar la mayor evidencia disponible sobre el efecto del masaje en la ictericia en neonatos a termino tratados o no con fototerapia. Metodo: Se desarrollo una revision siguiendo la declaracion PRISMA. Para ello se realizouna exhaustiva busqueda sistematica en las bases de datos PubMed, Cuiden, Scopus, Scielo y Cnki de los articulos publicados entre enero del 2009 y junio del 2018. Los estudios seleccionados fueron sometidos a una evaluacion de la calidad metodologica mediante la escala PEDro. Resultados: Un total de 10 trabajos cumplian los criterios inclusion y fueron incorporados a la revision. Estos presentaban una calidad metodologica moderada…

Effects of deep cervical flexor training on pressure pain thresholds over myofascial trigger points in patients with chronic neck pain.

2012

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a low-load training program for the deep cervical flexors (DCFs) on pain, disability, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) over cervical myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in patients with chronic neck pain.Thirty patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain participated in a 6-week program of specific training for the DCF, which consisted of active craniocervical flexion performed twice per day (10-20 minutes) for the duration of the trial. Perceived pain and disability (Neck Disability Index, 0-50) and PPT over MTrPs of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and splenius capitis muscles were measured at the beginning and end of the training…

Frailty Status Improvement after 5-Month Multicomponent Program PROMUFRA in Community-Dwelling Older People: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2022

A study was made of the effect of the PROMUFRA multicomponent frailty program upon physical frailty, kinanthropometry, pain and muscle function parameters in frail and pre-frail community-dwelling older people. Eighty-one participants were randomly allocated to the intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG performed PROMUFRA for 20 weeks, using six strength exercises with three series of 8–12 repetitions until muscular failure, and seven myofascial exercises, with one set of 10 repetitions. The CG continued their routine. The frailty criteria number (FCN), kinanthropometric parameters and muscle function were measured at baseline and after the program. Between-group differences …

Comparison of the effects of massage with mineral oil or ozonated oil bioperoxoil© on blood lactate, stress percevied and heart rate in cyclists

2010

Muscular fatigue is a factor that influence heavily performance of athletes. There is a lack of data about effect of massage with substances “ad hoc”. The aim of our research was to investigate the effect of application of ozonated oil on some parameters linked to fatigue in cyclists. 30 cyclists male was divided in two groups of 15 (PLO= placebo oil; OZO=ozonated Oil). Subjects was submitted in two different session to work protocol that consist in a rectangular test on cyclergometer followed by 30’ of rest. After the rest athletes performed an incremental test. HR (heart rate), Wmax (Watt maximal), RPE (rate of Perceived Exertion) and Lab(Blood Lactate) was misured at the end and after 5’…

Der Anstieg einiger Serumenzyme (GOT, LDH, CPK, MK) nach Ganzk�rpermuskelmassage und seine Bedeutung bei Dermatomyositis

1972

25 gesunde Normalpersonen wiesen 8 Std nach einer Ganzkorpermuskelmassage einen signifikanten Aktivitatsanstieg der Serumenzyme GOT, LDH, CPK und MK auf, wobei die MK im pathologischen Bereich liegt (Durchschnittswerte vor Massage: GOT: 10,97 mE/ml, LDH: 154,78 mE/ml, CPK: 18,28 mE/ml, MK: 15,79 mE/1000 ml; Durchschnittswerte 8 Std nach Massage: GOT: 16,84 mE/ml, LDH: 179,82 mE/ml, CPK: 27,36 mE/ml, MK: 21,74 mE/1000 ml). Die diskutierten, moglichen Ursachen gebieten Zuruckhaltung mit Massagen und analogen medico-mechanischen Masnahmen bei Dermatomyositis.

The treatment of severe self-injurious behavior through sensory stimulation: A case report

2016

Self-injurious behavior of an institutionalized man with profound intellectual disability was treated with a daily 15-min sensory stimulation program, which consisted of moving the arms and hands of the participant, swinging his body, and massage. The frequency of self-injurious behavior was measured in 10-min sessions. Using a reversal design, it was shown that sensory stimulation decreased the participant’s self-hitting behavior significantly, both in intensity and in frequency. Sensory stimulation is recommended for use in those cases in which functional analysis has shown that self-injury may be reinforced by its sensory consequences.

Effects of Far Infrared Heat on Recovery in Power Athletes

2015

Effects of Far Infrared Heat on Recovery in Power Athletes Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the far infrared (FIR) heat on the recovery of the power athletes during the 5-day intensive training period. Methods: The experimental group acted also as its own control group and it consisted of ten national level male athletes (22.3 ± 4.5 years) from power events. Training consisted of strength-, power-, and technique sessions. Performance tests included isometric strength tests, a countermovement jump (CMJ) and a Wingate 30 s test. Serum concentration of testosterone, cortisol, sex hormone binding globulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and creatinekin…

Effect of chest compressions only during experimental basic life support on alveolar collapse and recruitment

2007

Summary Aim The importance of ventilatory support during cardiac arrest and basic life support is controversial. This experimental study used dynamic computed tomography (CT) to assess the effects of chest compressions only during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCO-CPR) on alveolar recruitment and haemodynamic parameters in porcine model of ventricular fibrillation. Materials and methods Twelve anaesthetized pigs (26±1kg) were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: (1) intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) both during basic life support and advanced cardiac life support, or (2) CCO during basic life support and IPPV during advanced cardiac life support. Measurements w…

To investigate the effects of different recovery strategies on fatigue markers following a prolonged running exercise. 46 recreational male runners completed a half-marathon, followed by active recovery (ACT), cold water immersion (CWI), massage (MAS) or passive recovery (PAS). Countermovement jump height, muscle soreness and perceived recovery and stress were measured 24h before the half-marathon (pre), immediately after the recovery intervention (postrec) and 24h after the race (post24). In addition, muscle contractile properties and blood markers of fatigue were determined at pre and post24. Magnitude-based inferences revealed substantial differences in the changes between the groups. At…
