The association between academic engagement and achievement in health sciences students
(BMC Springer Nature, 2013-02-27)Background: Educational institutions play an important role in encouraging student engagement, being necessary to know how engaged are students at university and if this factor is involved in student success point and ... -
Obesity effect on a multimodal physiotherapy program for low back pain suffers: patient reported outcome.
(BMC, 2013-05-10)Background: Several studies have linked obesity to the increased likelihood of lower back pain, but there are no studies focussing on the effectiveness of a multimodal physiotherapy programme (MPP) in obese subjects who ... -
The Effect of a Physical Activity Program on the Total Number of Primary Care Visits in Inactive Patients: A 15-Month Randomized Controlled Trial.
(PLOS, 2013)Background: Effective promotion of exercise could result in substantial savings in healthcare cost expenses in terms of direct medical costs, such as the number of medical appointments. However, this is hampered by our ... -
Exploration of the validity and reliability of the "backache disability index" (BADIX) in patients with non-specific low back pain.
(SAGE, 2013)Background and objectives: In clinical examinations of a patient with non-specific low back pain (LBP), there is a need to dispose over a valid and quick to perform rating system. The "Backache Disability Index" for LBP ... -
Hydrotherapy as a recovery strategy after exercise: a pragmatic controlled trial
(BMC Springer Nature, 2013-07-18)Background: Our aim was to evaluate the recovery effects of hydrotherapy after aerobic exercise in cardiovascular, performance and perceived fatigue. Methods: A pragmatic controlled repeated measures; single-blind trial ... -
Physiological and biomechanical responses to walking underwater on a non-motorised treadmill: effects of different exercise intensities and depths in middle-aged healthy women.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Non-motorised underwater treadmills are commonly used in fitness activities. However, no studies have examined physiological and biomechanical responses of walking on non-motorised treadmills at different intensities and ... -
Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Upper Limb Functional Index
(BMC Springer Nature, 2013-07-26)Background: The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is an internationally widely used outcome measure with robust, valid psychometric properties. The purpose of study is to develop and validate a ULFI Spanish-version ... -
Sono-myography and sono-myoelastography of the tender points of women with fibromyalgia
(Elsevier, 2013-11)Sono-myography and sono-myoelastography have been found useful in the investigation of myofascial trigger points. The objective of this study was to use the same techniques to investigate the morphology, stiffness and blood ... -
Differences in muscle activation patterns during sit to stand task among subjects with and without intellectual disability.
(Wiley, 2013)The aim of this study is to analyse the differences in muscle activity between subjects who have intellectual disability and healthy subjects when they make the transition from sitting to standing positions. A cross-sectional ... -
