Strengthening the muscles of the trunk and lower limbs causes a number of benefits to patients with knee osteoarthritis (OAJ) but does not reduce the internal load of the knee during gait, being the major responsible for the progression of the disease. Recent studies have shown that strengthening the ankle and foot muscles improved impact absorption during gait in the elderly, function in…
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FS) is one condition that most affects functional performance, especially in women, due to alterations in the entire musculoskeletal system. Given that, Physical Therapy (PT) studies the human movement and its dysfunctions, and that FS, because of its complex chronic characteristic, impairs the affected individual's activities causing movement disorders, a PT profes…
The visiting plan for the visitor researcher, Professor Dr. Lori A Michener (Department of Physical Therapy, Virgina Commonwealth University, USA) will include: 1) Collaboration on Research project: 3D kinematic and eletromyographic evaluation during elevation of the arm in subjects with isolated acromioclavicular osteoarthritis and associated with rotator cuff dysfunction. Abstract of Re…

Background and Purpose: Compression is a tactile stimulus that can reduce pain perception by modulating tactile receptors on the skin and the speed of nerve conduction. It is widely used in combination with cryotherapy and other non-pharmacological physical agents to control musculoskeletal pain. However, there is still a lack of evidence about its possible effects on the modulation of th…
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic progressive disease with the presence of pain, swelling and joint stiffness, negatively affecting the functionality and quality of life of individuals, with important consequences for the country's socioeconomic and health system. Patient education, physical exercise and body weight control constitute the primary approach to treating th…
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a progressive chronic disease with the presence of pain, edema and joint stiffness, negatively affecting the functionality and quality of life of individuals, with important consequences for the socioeconomic system and health system of the country.

Older people are at the highest risk of inactivity, particularly those aged 80 years and older. In the context of a rapidly ageing global population, there is clearly a need for effective strategies to increase physical activity participation in older age. Activity trackers can facilitate physical activity. Physical activity trackers such as pedometers are portable, easy-to-use and afford…
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems worldwide and its key symptom is pain. Current evidence-based treatment approaches only show small to moderate effects on pain. Therefore, clinical guidelines recommend integrating comorbidity-specific interventions as a part of patient-centered care. Insomnia is a common sleep disorder in patients with KOA and a…
The prevalence of KOA among population is rapidly increasing as the expectation of life is ascending and the obesity epidemic worldwide is growing. Thus, accessible treatments are needed to manage knee osteoarthritis (KOA) on clinical settings. A study has found that the main barriers for patients to perform specific prescribed exercises from a physical therapist (PT) are the cost of trea…
