A Randomized, Sham‐Controlled Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting M1 and S2 in Central Poststroke Pain: A Pilot Trial

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...

Comparative study on the assessment of the strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles by hand-held dynamometer and isokinetic dynamometer

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2015
IntroductionThe strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles is a relevant clinical indicator of the health status and functional capacities of an individual. For its evaluation, the practitioner must have simple and reliable measuring tools. Currently, the use of hand-held dynamometers is widespread both in the clinical practice and in research ...

Reliability of the handheld dynamometer in the evaluation of the muscle strength of trunk extensors in healthy adults

Motricidade, 2021
The muscular performance of the lumbar spine is frequently assessed in studies that compare populations with and without low back pain. However, the gold standard equipment used to evaluate the strength of these muscles has a high cost. Therefore, rarely used in the clinical practice of health professionals, being the handheld dynamometer is an ...
