TMS-guided physiotherapy reduces pain and induces plasticity in the motor cortex in Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis

Revista Pesquisa em Fisioterapia, 2018
BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with chronic pain, impaired function and loss of quality of life.  Brain maladaptive plasticity may be involved and prevent beneficial effects of exercises and other interventions.

Physiological mechanisms underlying enhanced performance with blood flow restriction training: neuromuscular, vascular and metabolic adaptations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how 6 weeks of dynamic knee‐extensor interval training with blood flow restriction (BFR‐leg) and without (CTRL‐leg) impacts performance and its mechanisms using non‐invasive methods. Specifically, we used gold‐standard methods to assess neuromuscular function, vascular function using Doppler ultrasound, and near ...

Disproportional ventilatory response to incremental exercise in individuals with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1139-1151, August 2026.
Individuals with cerebral palsy demonstrate a disproportionate ventilatory response during incremental exercise. Compared with typically developing peers, respiratory frequency increases earlier and at comparable exercise intensities, contributing to higher perceived exertion and reduced ventilatory efficiency. At task failure, respiratory frequency is

Development of effective 3D digital models for first‐time learners of musculoskeletal anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 19, Issue 7, Page 1060-1071, July 2026.
Abstract Musculoskeletal anatomy is a critical component of allied health curricula. With the ubiquity of technology in the classroom and the recent COVID‐19 pandemic creating accessibility barriers for students, there is a need for viable digital resources to enhance learning by supplementing traditional textbook studying.

Quantitative Muscle MRI of the Lower Extremities Reveals Different Patterns of Involvement in Classic Infantile and Young Late‐Onset Pompe Patients

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increased survival due to enzyme replacement therapy, children with classic infantile Pompe disease tend to develop a clinical phenotype with pronounced distal muscle weakness, while late‐onset patients typically exhibit proximal muscle weakness.

Rapid Torque Production of the Knee Extensors: An Integrative Analysis of Neuromuscular and Muscle–Tendon Determinants

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The physiological determinants of explosive strength are usually investigated separately. We aimed to quantify the relative contributions of muscle excitation, structural, and mechanical determinants of rapid torque production in the knee extensors in a multi‐domain framework.

Immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on myoelectric activity of knee muscles in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a randomised controlled trial

Physiotherapy Quarterly
Introduction There is lack of studies on the effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of knee muscles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of ...
