The knee joint is most affected by this behavior, leading to an increase risk of injury. Our purpose is to describe the knee angular displacement in amateur dancers, during a demi-plié exercise, with emphasis on valgus mechanisms frequency. Methods: 192 demi-pliés collected in six amateur female dancers (mean age = 15.33 ± 1.37 years), were analyzed regarding sagittal and frontal plane angular displacement, with an electrogoniometer connected to a signal acquisition unit at 1000 Hz. Results: all subjects presented valgus peaks along the trials, despite the global varus tendency of the knee frontal plane behavior. A significant positive correlation between the frequency of valgus and practice time was noted. Discussion: A variable angular frontal displacement was observed, with some trials comprehending a high incidence of valgus peaks along the ascending or descending phase of the demi-plié exercise. Conclusion: the frontal knee angle behavior is variable. It may present fast peaks of valgus or an initial trend of varus/valgus that is different from the global varus trend. The analysis of the activity should be considered in the training. The practice time may be related to the observed behavior.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123628325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Main outcome measures: The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and a 340-m-long distance were used to assess gait performance indoors and walking ability outdoors, respectively. The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale was used to assess perceived exertion after the gait performance tests. Results: Significant correlations (p < 0.01) were found between the 6MWT and the outdoor walking with regard to gait speed (r = 0.92) and perceived exertion (rho = 0.68). A majority of the participants walked significantly (p < 0.001) faster outdoors than indoors; the average gait speed was 1.3 ± 0.3 m/s outdoors and 1.2 ± 0.3 m/s indoors. There was no significant difference in perceived exertion; median RPE was 13 (range 11–19) after the outdoor walking and 13 (range 9–17) after the 6MWT. Conclusion: The strong relationship between gait speed indoors and gait speed outdoors indicates that the 6MWT is a useful test for physiotherapists to predict walking ability in everyday life in ambulatory persons with mild to moderate late effects of polio.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129511610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Walking distance (Six Minute Walk Test and treadmill test), patient-reported walking distance and HRQoL [Medical Outcome Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Claudication Scale (CLAU-S)] were assessed. Results: The associations between measures of walking distance and domains of HRQoL were small to medium in strength. The measured walking distance was markedly longer than the patient-reported walking distance and correlated only with medium strength. There was a significant reduction in the SF-36 domains physical function, physical role and bodily pain, and the CLAU-S domain daily life between patients who had a walking distance below 200 m, compared with patients with a walking distance above that. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the usefulness of assessing HRQoL in addition to performance-based measurements of walking distance in PAD patients. Its utilization may increase awareness of patients’ actual condition and will be a better guide for identifying the best treatment relative to risks.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130788006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study uses a history of ideas approach and is based on Gadamer's hermeneutic ontology, which closely links thinking and conceptualization. The material consisted of textbooks used in PT education, articles from scientific and professional journals, chronicles, minutes and reports from government inquiry. A holistic and naturalistic perspective on PT were early arisen and constant distinctive, but through various forms. A pattern of thought over times is movement as a natural and curative health promoting agent in contrast to a medical remedy. The main ideas of physiotherapy can be understood according to three perspectives on movement: the health cure, the medical cure and the exercise cure. The main ideas form a basis for understanding movement as the core concept of physiotherapy. PT has a knowledge base of its own that has preserved over time, distinct from medicine and other health disciplines.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133563274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to develop a standardized protocol for the measurement of upper and lower limb volume using a vertical perometer (400T) and test its reliability. Methodology: Multiple pilot studies were conducted in a laboratory-based setting to investigate specific procedural questions and develop the final standardized protocol. This included elements such as standardization of the proportion of limb being measured, and of limb positioning within the perometer frame. The standardized protocol was tested for inter- and intra-rater reliability in two raters, on two separate test occasions, 24–48 h apart. The study included 30 volunteers with no known clinical conditions (n = 23 women, seven men; mean age 23). Major findings: High intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) values resulted for intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in the upper and lower limbs (0.953–0.989). Limits of agreement analysis demonstrated less positive results, however.

The aim of this study was to evaluate inter-rater reliability regarding the One Repetition Maximum (1 RM) in bench press and squats in young healthy women. Forty-one women, aged 21–30 years, participated in the present study. The subjects performed 1 RM bench press (n = 21) or 1 RM squat (n = 20) on two different occasions with an interval of 5–9 days using an inter-rater test-retest design. High reliability was noted for both the 1 RM bench press test (ICC2,1 = 0.98) and the 1 RM squat test (ICC2,1 = 0.85), with an SEM of 4% and 11%, respectively. The paired analysis revealed statistically significant difference in 1 RM squat performance between the two test sessions (p = 0.005). No statistically significant difference was found in 1 RM bench press performance between the two testing sessions. While the 1RM bench press showed excellent inter-rater reliability and could be strongly suggested as a measurement of muscle strength, the squat using free weights, as in the present study, could be questioned.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129680239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HRQoL was measured with the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and pain intensity was assessed with a visual analogue scale (VAS) before and immediately after treatment, and at 12-month follow-up. Both treatment groups improved on all subscales; however, no differences were observed between the treatment groups either before or after treatment. Those who experienced pain relief (at least 10 mm change on VAS; 53%) also significantly improved from baseline on all SF-36 subscales. Persons with chronic neck pain had significantly lower scores on all SF-36 subscales than normative reference values both before and after treatment. The results of this study indicate no differences between qigong and exercise therapy in HRQoL outcome; however, broad HRQoL improvements seem to be contingent on significant pain reduction.

Methodology: During 2009 there were 706 persons (aged 1–20 years) with cerebral palsy (CP), living in the southernmost part of Sweden, who participated in a secondary prevention follow-up programme for persons with CP. Of the 706 participants, 561 were assessed by physiotherapists using both GMFCS and GMFCS-E&R. The agreement between 665 assessment forms, including both GMFCS and GMFCS-E&R levels, was analysed. Descriptive, unweighted and weighted Kappa statistics were used. Major findings: The absolute agreement, with corresponding levels according to GMFCS and GMFCS-E&R was 96.8% (n = 644). Unweighted Kappa showed K = 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.94–0.98) and weighted Kappa showed K = 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.96–0.99).

Evaluations occurred at two separate intervals: 15 min before and 15 min after interventions were performed with neural mobilization techniques. Mobilizations were carried out at different duration intervals (0, 3, 7 and 15 min), in accordance to the week of treatment over the course of 4 weeks. Within each individual group, no significant differences were noted. In intergroup comparison, a small positive effect for a duration of roughly 3 min on L5 was observed. It was concluded that short-term outcome effects on pain threshold after neural mobilization in individuals with sciatica generate distinct responses in PPT on L5 and between the second and third metatarsal, and 3-min duration intervals of this technique were sufficient to produce moderate benefits in SG. In contrast, treatment durations of 7 min produced worse results between the second and third metatarsal.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121874060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It appears that in various performance tests the influence of non-physiological factors differs. It is unclear which performance tests are best suited for measurement of maximum capacity or pain-related behaviour. The main aim of the present review is to highlight the influence of psychological factors during different types of performance testing in patients with CLBP. The degree in which pain-related and psychological factors influence test outcome differs between performance tests. A minimum influence of pain intensity and psychological factors is found in (sub)maximal exercise testing in patients who are able to complete the test. The influence of pain intensity and psychological factors is most prominent in holding endurance tasks evaluating the duration a patient can hold a certain weight. In order to decide which assessment tool for physical performance can best be used for the evaluation of physical functioning in patients with CLBP, one should specifically consider the question that has to be answered. In case a patients’ physical capacity has to be objectified, another assessment tool seems preferred compared with a situation in which a patient's pain-related behaviour is aimed to be assessed.","PeriodicalId":186472,"journal":{"name":"The European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129810272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
