13. Prevalence of neurocognitive disorders and depression in a Brazilian HIV population
AbstractINTRODUCTION:Combined antiretroviral therapy has enabled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers to live longer. This increased life expectancy is associated with the occurrence of degenerative diseases, including HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), which are diagnosed via a complex neuropsychological assessment. The International HIV

15. Effect of a single session of transcranial direct-current stimulation on balance and spatiotemporal gait variables in children with cerebral palsy: A randomized sham-controlled study
Background: Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) has been widely studied with the aim of enhancing local synaptic efficacy and modulating the electrical activity of the cortex in patients with neurological disorders. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a single session of tDCS regarding immediate changes in s

16. Gait profile score and movement analysis profile in patients with Parkinson's disease during concurrent cognitive load
Background: Gait disorders are common in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and the concurrent performance of motor and cognitive tasks can have marked effects on gait. The Gait Profile Score (GPS) and the Movement Analysis Profile (MAP) were developed in order to summarize the data of kinematics and facilitate understanding of the results of gait a

17. Evaluation of properties of the Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale (Brazilian version) in an elderly population
Background: The Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale (VADL) is considered an important subjective assessment to evaluate patients suffering from dizziness and imbalance. Although frequently used, its metric characteristics still require further investigation. Objective: This paper aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Braz

18. Association between functional alterations of senescence and senility and disorders of gait and balance
OBJECTIVES: Declines in cognition and mobility are frequently observed in the elderly, and it has been suggested that the appearance of gait disorders in older individuals may constitute a marker of cognitive decline that precedes significant findings in functional performance screening tests. This study sought to evaluate the relationship between functional

19. Influence of patellofemoral pain syndrome on plantar pressure in the foot rollover process during gait
BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is one of the most common knee disorders among physically active young women. Despite its high incidence, the multifactorial etiology of this disorder is not fully understood. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome on plantar pressure distribution during the foot rollover process (i.e

20. Effects of home exercises in patients with Parkinson s disease / Efeitos dos exercicios domiciliares em pacientes portadores de doença de Parkinson
The purpose of this study was to develop a program of home exercises, to assess its acceptance by patients with Parkinson s disease (PD) and to investigate the economic situation of these patients, and the possible effect of home exercises on signs and symptoms of PD, balance, functional daily activities, quality of life and depression. 57 patients were recr

21. Evaluation of the broiler locomotors problems using different methodologies of the gait score / Avaliação de problemas locomotores em frangos de corte utilizando diferentes metodologias de gait score
Brazil is today one of the largest poultry meat producer and exporter of the world; however, in order to continue in this production level and quality it is needed to apply animal welfare principles maintaining the same production costs. Locomotors problems keep away the bird from moving freely and to access the needed equipments for its survival: feeder and

22. Gait analysis in myotonic dystrophy type 1 : spatiotemporal and kinematics parameters / Estudo da marcha da distrofia miotonica tipo 1 : parametros espaciais, temporais e cinematica
Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 is a multisystemic disease that frequently affects the striated muscle with repercussion on gait. Gait function may be very abnormal or exhibit subtle alterations of difficult characterization by the human eyes. With objective to analyse the spatiotemporal and kinematics variables parameters of gait in patients affected by the disea

23. Efeitos de um treinamento em condições de dupla-tarefa sobre o desempenho motor e habilidade de dividir a atenção em pacientes com doença de Parkinson. / Effects of training in dual-task situations on the motor performance and the abillity to divide attention in subjects with Parkinsons Disease
The Parkinsons Disease (PD) is one of the degenerative disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that has been greatly discussed both in clinical and experimental researches. Its major motor symptoms are tremors, rigidity or muscle stiffness, bradykinesia and postural instability. Not less important, subjects with PD may suffer from emotional changes and

24. Clinical-epidemiological profile of children with schistosomal myeloradiculopathy attended at the Instituto Materno-Infantil de Pernambuco
The most critical phase of exposure to schistosomal infection is the infancy, because of the more frequent contact with contaminated water and the immaturity of the immune system. One of the most severe presentations of this parasitosis is the involvement of the spinal cord, which prognosis is largely dependent on early diagnosis and treatment. Reports on th
