PUBBLICAZIONI SCIENTIFICHE
Maitland mobilisation (grade II). What is the range of forces used a cross MSc physiotherapists? – A pilot study.
To explore the range of forces used across a sample of MSc physiotherapist students applying a central posterior-to-anterior vertebral mobilisation technique to a sensory pad…
The impact of the integration of the perineum and the self-enlargement of Docteur de Gasquet’s method on the pain and strength of the hip adductors in the case of AGP.
Athletic Groin Pain is common in sports. The rehabilitation is focused on strengthening program for the muscles of the lower limb and included core stability exercises. All the structures around the pubic symphysis are…
The effects of dry needling on pain relief and functional balance in patients with sub-chronic low back pain.
Pain relief is important both for the movement of patients suffering from low back pain and the quality of life. Dry needling is effective on myofascial trigger points but its effect on the area of pain and the functional balance is not fully known…
Effects of creative dance on proprioception, rhythm and balance of preschool children (Dimitris Chatzopoulos et al., 2019)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of creative dance on proprioception, rhythm and static balance in preschool children. The treatment group consisted of 32 preschool children which took part in a creative dancela…
Effects of Ballet Training on Proprioception, Balance, and Rhythmic Synchronization of Young Children (Dimitris Chatzopoulos et al., 2019)
Proprioception, balance, and rhythm are crucial factors for children’s motor development and the reduction of fall-related injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ballet training on these abilities in 7-yr old girls…
Classification of Soccer and Basketball Players’ Jumping Performance Characteristics: A Logistic Regression Approach. (Chalitsios et al., 2019)
This study aimed to examine countermovement jump (CMJ) kinetic data using logistic regression, in order to distinguish sports-related mechanical profiles. Eighty-one professional basketball and soccer athletes participated, each …
Dancing Effects on Preschoolers’ Sensorimotor Synchronization, Balance, and Movement Reaction Time (Panagiota Chatzihidiroglou et al., 2018)
In the present study, we compared an experimental group of preschool children (n = 22; mean age = 5 years, 8 months) who followed an 8-week dance program with a control group (n = 20; mean age = 5 years, 5 months) on pre–post measures of…
Classification methods can identify external constrains in swimming (Grigoriou et al., 2018)
The purpose of the present study is to examine whether the use of fins is identifiable based on swimmers’ technique and to find out technique-related features that depict fins’ influence. First, a number of features were extracted from kinematic data given by movement sensors attached to swimmers’ bodies during …
Sensor-enabled Functional-Mobility Assessment: An Exploratory Investigation (Golestan et al., 2019)
The population of adults aged 65 years and older is expected to double by 2050. Healthcare systems must adapt to in order to manage the care of this increasing population. Older adults with complex care needs require a significant amount of additional support from caregivers. To maintain, and possibly improve …
Development, validity and reliability of a new pressure air biofeedback device (PAB) for measuring isometric extension strength of the lumbar spine (Pienaar et al., 2016)
This study describes the development of a new portable muscle testing device, using air pressure as a biofeedback and strength testing tool. For this purpose, a pressure air biofeedback device (PAB®) was developed to measure and record the isometric extension…
Rotational kinematics of pelvis and upper trunk at butterfly stroke: Can fins affect the dynamics of the system? (Averianova et al., 2016)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the rotational kinematics pattern of the upper trunk and the pelvis and the complexity-variability of their movement, during the sprint butterfly stroke between male and female swimmers with long fins (18–26 cm) and without fins. Two pairs of 3D…
Retest-reliability and concurrent validity of the pressure air biofeedback device (pab®) for measuring handgrip strength in young healthy adults (Staüber et al., 2019)
Handgrip strength has clinical and prognostic value and can provide an indi- cation of an individual’s overall strength. It also informs with regard to nutritional status, muscle mass, physical status, and health status. The pressure air biofeedback …
Changes in the limits of stability induced by weight-shifting training in elderly women.
This study examined the impact of visually guided weight-shifting training on elderly women’s limits of stability during static leaning and dynamic swaying in different directions. Sixty-three elderly women were assigned into a group that practiced weight shifting (30-min sessions, 3 sessions/week, 4 weeks)…
Direction-induced effects of visually guided weight-shifting training on standing balance in the elderly
Controversial findings exist in the literature with respect to the efficacy of visually guided weight-shifting (WS) training as a means of improving balance in healthy older adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of two direction-specific, visually guided WS training protocols on standing balance of healthy elderly women…
Visual feedback training improves postural adjustments associated with moving obstacle avoidance in elderly women
The study examined the impact of visually guided weight shifting (WS) practice on the postural adjustments evoked by elderly women when avoiding collision with a moving obstacle while standing. Fifty-six healthy elderly women (70.9+/-5.7 years, 87.5+/-9.6 kg) were randomly assigned into one of three groups…
