Dr. Oliveira is physiotherapist and received her Ph.D. degree (2002) in Anatomy from Campinas University, São Paulo, Brazil. She is currently Associate Professor of Physical Therapy in the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo USP, Brazil, where she teaches Kinesiology and Biomechanics, and Non-Pharmalogical Conservative Pain Management. She was Visitor Professor in the Division of Physical Therapy of Department of Rehabilitation Medicine da University of Washington, Seattle, USA (2008-2009). Dr. Oliveira is a founder member of the Brazilian Society of Kinesiologic Electromyography, and rater for the McMaster Online Rating of Evidence System. She responsible for the The Shoulder Group PT USP RP since 2003 in which hers research team works on shoulder biomechanics, especially during exercises, and pain related to chronic musculoskeletal disorders as impingment syndrome. She has been financial supported by São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) since 1998, among others.

The study of headache, particularly migraine in the field of physiotherapy, is an innovative theme, even more when associating clinical data typical from neurology and otoneurology clinical settings. Our group has studied musculoskeletal and functional consequences in these patients. There is, however, motor control adaptations and their relationship with clinical and structural aspects s…
The adequate scapular kinematics is very important for normal shoulder function. Healthy subjects show a pattern of progressive upward rotarion, posterior tilt during humeral elevation, and scapular external rotation that happens at the end of the arm range of elevation. Literature shows that subjects with shoulder impingement present decreased upward rotation, posterior tilt and increase…

Subacromial pain syndrome (SDSA) is the most frequent diagnosis amongshoulder pathologies. Currently, there are few studies that seek to know the relationshipbetween fear of movement-related pain and pain present after physical exertion.Understanding this relationship is important to understand the impact of fear of painrelated to movement in the rehabilitation with exercises in patients …
The Shoulder Endurance Test (SET) is a functional test that assesses the resistance to fatigue of the internal and external rotator muscles of the shoulder. The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) is a functional test that tests the strength and power of the upper limb in a closed kinetic chain, assessing its functional ability. These physical performance tests a…
Psychosocial factors such as self-efficacy and self-regulation, as well as lifestyle are associated with the condition of chronic musculoskeletal pain7. The relationship between self-efficacy and shoulder pain is now better established, which is not observed in relation to self-regulation and lifestyle. Thus, the primary objective of the study is to verify whether self-efficacy, self-regu…
Studies have demonstrated the need to consider the use of low-cost and practical instruments to be applied to perform the athlete's assessment. However, unlike physical performance tests for lower limbs, which have been investigated extensively and are widely used by sports physiotherapists, there are few studies that have shown how clinicians use tests for upper limbs. Tests for upper li…
Studies have shown that there is a correlation between fear of pain related to movement (kinesiophobia) and shoulder impairment. Patients with anterior traumatic instability, for example, have a high kinesiophobia score according to the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) questionnaire. Still, the literature indicates that psychological factors such as fear related to pain or painful activ…
The shoulder is a joint that often presents reports of musculoskeletal pain, which can be persistent and incapacitating for the individual to perform their daily activities. Treatment methods, such as primer of home exercises, are being studied because they have several benefits. However, it is still necessary to investigate the factors that determine the patient's adherence to a home pro…

Overhead sports require a complex motion of different body segments together and coordinated to generate energy transfer through the shoulder joint complex. Impairments in one or more kinetic chain segments reduce the effectiveness of energy transfer, which leads to greater susceptibility to injuries in the shoulder. Thus, the assessment and treatment of overhead athletes should not be li…
Background: Research about lower limb exoskeletons has increased a lot over the years. The exoskeleton has been designed to enhance gait abilities in healthy individuals, elders and patients with gait disorders. Among the available exoskeletons, researches at Harvard are pioneering a new class of devices, described as soft lower-extremity robotic exosuits. Considering the encouraging and …
