We tested a concentric exercise protocol comparing a test applied after 10 sessions without and with the use of laser using the Cybex Humac Norm® Test & Rehabilitation System in a patient with left lower limb amputation. First, a test was performed to determine the baseline value of peak torque, average power per repetition and total work performed. Ten exercise sessions and a new test were followed to determine the difference in power gain. Ten more sessions and a new test without laser application were performed to determine whether the torque increment level was reached, followed by ten more sessions with laser application 5 minutes before the exercise and a new test, with laser application, to evaluate the torque increment. An increase in PT was found of 5% for extensors and 7% for knee flexors in the second test in relation to baseline. The increase was 0% for the extensors and 11% for the flexors in the next test. After laser application there was an increase of 8% for the extensors and a deficit of 11% for the flexors. For TTR, the relative values for extenders and flexors were 3% and -3%, -10% and -2% (without laser) and 18% and 17% (with laser). We concluded that, in this protocol, the laser produced a gain in the peak torque of extensor muscles, but not of the flexors as well as a significant increase in the average power per repetition and the total work performed by both the extensors and the knee flexors, which may be of value as an adjuvant in the treatment of prosthetic patients.

Physiological and performance effects of WBC treatment covering anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and autonomic changes as well as muscle damage marker reductions are well documented. However, evidence concerning the implications of manipulating WBC protocol factors are relatively scant and were the subject of this review. We attempted to address the question as to what is considered the optimum WBC protocol for post exercise recovery. Notable factors were identified as pertinent to the potential efficacy of WBC treatment. Firstly, treatment timing appears to influence WBC effectiveness, probably due to the time course of the inflammatory response post exercise. This can have direct applications for sports practice since many athletes lack immediate access to cryogenic chambers. It is probable that applying WBC within 60 minutes is desirable. Secondly, inter-individual factors such as body fat, age and sex affect WBC response, with young and lean males benefiting apparently more from the treatment. Furthermore, adjustments in WBC temperature, duration and frequency are to be factored in, with the latter potentially being particularly significant. The precise prescription of WBC treatment for optimising recovery could be affected accordingly. Understanding how different WBC protocols can ameliorate the effects of muscle damage can aid practitioners in the application of WBC strategies to facilitate recovery needs and athletic performance. Future studies should consider randomised controlled trials addressing the impact of protocol factors in isolation on physiological and performance parameters.","PeriodicalId":75477,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physical medicine","volume":"35 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72425271","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}

Jennifer, W StromanPatrick","doi":"10.36959/942/335","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36959/942/335","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Prior research has demonstrated that emotional state can influence pain perception. If a noxious stimulus is coupled with a negative emotional stimulus, the perception of the noxious stimulus will be heightened by the aversive associations of the negative emotional stimulus. In contrast, pain ratings decrease with positive emotional influence. The aim of the current study was to characterize the emotional modulation of pain processing in the spinal cord and brainstem using functional MRI. Methods: Twenty-one healthy, right-handed females, aged 18-30 (M age = 21.5) underwent an fMRI scan of the spinal cord and brainstem while completing a heat pain-rating task. Participants received noxious thermal stimulus to the thenar eminence of the right hand while viewing images of varying emotional contexts (Positive, Neutral, or Negative), and provided ratings of pain Intensity and Unpleasantness. Results: Pain ratings reflected a significant effect for emotional context, with the Negative emotional condition eliciting significantly greater pain Intensity (M = 48.74, SD = 10.60) and Unpleasantness (M = 36.60, SD = 11.92) ratings than the Positive Intensity (M = 44.22, SD = 10.75) and Unpleasantness (M = 29.05, SD = 10.09) ratings (p < 0.01). In addition to replicating the well-established effect for emotional modulation of pain perception, BOLD responses in regions of the spinal cord and brainstem that are known to function in pain processing also exhibited an effect for descending emotional modulation of pain processing. These regions included the ipsilateral, dorsal horn of the T1 spinal cord segment (caudal to the segment corresponding to the stimulated dermatome), as well as regions in the brainstem approximating the dorsal reticular nucleus of the caudal medulla and the parabrachial nuclei of the pons (p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings provide novel insight into the neural correlates of descending emotional modulation of pain processing. Furthermore, this study highlights key areas of focus for future research to examine potential individual-level differences in emotional modulation of pain neural processing in the spinal cord and brainstem.","PeriodicalId":75477,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physical medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86491790","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}

Simultaneous recordings of the intramuscular and surface EMG signals were made during both types of contractions with the elbow joint angle varying from 30 to 150 degrees in reference to a fully extended position. Results demonstrated that r.m.s. amplitude and mean power frequency of the surface EMG were significantly higher during CC, particularly at shorter muscle length; e.g., 259 vs. 131 microV (p less than 0.01) and 102 vs. 91 Hz (p less than 0.05). The intramuscular spike recordings made at 45, 90 and 135 degrees showed greater motor unit (MU) activities during CC along with the presence of MUs with relatively large spike amplitude. The pooled data on the ISAF histograms revealed significantly greater mean MU spike amplitude and frequency during CC as compared to EC; e.g., 439 vs. 108 microV and 16.1 vs. 13.0 Hz at 135 degrees, respectively. These data suggest that EC is associated with much less pronounced MU recruitment and rate modulation due to economical tension development which might be a result of better utilization of elastic energy, particularly those inherent in the actin-myosin cross bridges and also a favorable length-tension relationship under the present experimental conditions.","PeriodicalId":75477,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physical medicine","volume":"66 6 1","pages":"338-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/00002060-198812000-00003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61801105","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}
