13. Ultrasound imaging in women's arm flexor muscles: intra-rater reliability of muscle thickness and echo intensity
ABSTRACT Background Different ultrasound parameters have been frequently used to assess changes associated with training, aging, immobilization, and neuromuscular diseases. However, an exploratory reliability analysis of the echo intensity (EI) and muscle thickness (MT) of the forearm flexors is scarce, especially in women. Objective The purpose of the pre

14. ELBOW ULNAR NEUROPATHY: TREATMENT BY ANTERIOR TRANSPOSITION OF THE ULNAR NERVE
ABSTRACT Objectives: Retrospective clinical evaluation of 31 patients who underwent ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow and subcutaneous anterior transposition. Methods: From January 2000 to December 2013, 71 patients underwent subcutaneous anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve. Thirty-one patients returned for evaluation. The mean follow-up perio

15. INTRAMUSCULAR MARTIN-GRUBER ANASTOMOSIS
Objective : This paper reports the incidence, origin, course and anatomical relationships of intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis. Methods : Anatomical dissection of 100 limbs from 50 adults cadavers was performed. The intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis was found in five forearms, three in the right and two in the left side, one was bilateral. All

16. Analysis of isokinetic muscle function and postural control in individuals with intermittent claudication
BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication (IC) is a debilitating condition that mostly affects elderly people. IC is manifested by a decrease in ambulatory function. Individuals with IC present with motor and sensory nerve dysfunction in the lower extremities, which may lead to deficits in balance. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to measure postural control and

17. Analysis of dimensions, activation and median frequency of cervical flexor muscles in young women with migraine or tension-type headache
Background: Central and peripheral mechanisms may be involved in migraine and tension-type headache pathogenesis, however the role of muscle disorders in their pathophysiological mechanisms remains unclear. Objectives: To assess the association between the presence of migraine or tension-type headache and changes in longus colli muscle dimensions and sterno

18. Analysis of postural control and muscular performance in young and elderly women in different age groups
BACKGROUND: muscle strength and power are two factors affecting balance. The impact of muscle strength and power on postural control has not been fully explored among different age strata over sixty. OBJECTIVES: the aim of the present study was to assess the muscle strength and power of elderly women in different age groups and determine their correlation w

19. Differences in muscle strength after ACL reconstruction do not influence cardiorespiratory responses to isometabolic exercise
Objectives: To investigate whether the muscle strength decrease that follows anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction would lead to different cardiorespiratory adjustments during dynamic exercise. Method: Eighteen active male subjects were submitted to isokinetic evaluation of knee flexor and extensor muscles four months after ACL surgery. Thigh c

20. Strength deficit of knee flexors is dependent on hip position in adults with chronic hemiparesis
BACKGROUND: The extent to which muscle length affects force production in paretic lower limb muscles after stroke in comparison to controls has not been established. OBJECTIVES: To investigate knee flexor strength deficits dependent on hip joint position in adults with hemiparesis and compare with healthy controls. METHOD: a cross-sectional study with ten su

21. Efeito da aplicação de vibração mecânica localizada durante o treinamento de força sobre a hipertrofia muscular
Several studies indicate that the addition of vibrations to the strength training (ST) may contribute to the development of muscle strength and athletic performance. The aim of this study was to verify the chronic effect of application of mechanical vibration during ST on muscle hypertrophy. The sample consisted of 20 male volunteers, mean age 21,3 ± 3,02 y

22. Distúrbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho de operadores da colheita florestal mecanizada / Work-related musculoskeletal disorders of operators of mechanized harvesting
The Repetitive Strain Injury / Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (LER / DORT) can arise in any field of activity; just there is a causal factor, ie, functions and jobs that expose workers to risk factors. These risk factors are present in the operator of the harvesting machinery activities. Throughout the workday upper limbs are highly required, necessi

23. Bases anatômicas e histomorfométricas para a compreensão das neuropatias dos nervos mediano e ulnar em crianças / Anatomical and histomorphometrical basis for the understanding of median and ulnar nerves neuropathies in children
The anterior carpal region has two tunnels limited by fibrous tissue: the carpal tunnel and the ulnar tunnel. The clinical and surgical importance of this region is related to the carpal and ulnar tunnel syndromes, both able to impair motor and sensitive functions. The diagnosis and clinical approach to treat these syndromes are mainly based on anatomical fe

24. The effects of stretching on the flexibility, muscle performance and functionality of institutionalized older women
Stretching has been widely used to increase the range of motion. We assessed the effects of a stretching program on muscle-tendon length, flexibility, torque, and activities of daily living of institutionalized older women. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were according to Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (>13), Barthel Index (>13) and Lysholm Scoring Scale
