Objectives: To describe the design process of a medical care program for adolescents with pediatric onset rheumatic diseases (PRD) during the transition from pediatric to adult care in a resource-constrained hospital. Methods: The model of attention was developed in three steps: 1) the selection of a multidisciplinary team, 2) the evaluation of...

Study design Single arm, quasi-experimental study design. Background To describe the effects of whole-body cryotherapy on pain, disability, and serum inflammatory markers in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods A quasi-experimental trial was performed on adult patients between 18 and 65 years with chronic low back pain. After obtaining in...

Objective To determine the analgesic effect of whole body cryotherapy (WBC) in patients with trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. Methods Twenty patients from an outpatient rehabilitation clinic were recruited. Patients were required to have clinical data for their diagnosis of myofascial pain syndrome in the trapezius. Twenty WBC sessions (−160 °C...

Objective To determine the association between flexibility of the ischiotibial muscles, function and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods A total of 33 patients of both genders with an age greater than or equal to 40 years, clinically diagnosed with osteoarthritis in one or both knees with radiographic evidence of the disease, w...

Sport climbing has become a very popular and competitive sport. Despite growing interest in the research of climbing, there is still scant evidence regarding the adaptations it produces in the anthropometric characteristics of climbers. The objective of this study was to provide descriptive data about the anthropometric and somatotype characteristi...

... Of the published studies examining health outcomes before and after transition in rheumatology, all were based in Europe or North America [1]. García-Rodríguez et al. describe the first transitional care model for adolescents with rheumatic disease in Mexico, providing a framework for developing transition services in resource-constrained settings [4]. The authors outline the development of their model, which ultimately involves a three-stage transition process. ...
... Surprisingly, PNRS began to noticeably diminish after just four WBC treatments. A decrease in the pro-inflammatory marker IL-2 and an increase in the anti-inflammatory marker IL-10 were also seen in the study's findings, along with changes in other serum inflammatory markers [22]. WBC showed a significant analgesic benefit in individuals with trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. ...
... Notably, during the length of the trial, no notable changes in the concentrations of inflammatory or anti-inflammatory substances were seen. WBC is a useful analgesic strategy for treating myofascial pain conditions in the trapezius muscle [23]. ...
... These factors may contribute to better muscle performance after flexibility training; however, the connection between muscle performance and flexibility remains uncertain (14). There is a clear association between disability and decreased knee joint range of motion (ROM), secondary to muscle spasms, muscle weakness, a sedentary lifestyle, and reduced flexibility (13,15). Enhanced range of motion has been associated with reduced pain and increased muscle function (15). ...
... Also, several studies on the sport of rock climbing have been carried out to improve climbing performance, for example, analyzed study related to anthropometry [9]- [11]. In addition, several studies related to biomechanics [12]- [17], physiological [6], [18]- [21], and psychological [18], [22]- [25], Indonesia is one of the countries which has the potential for performing rock climbing sports shaded by the Indonesian Climbing Federation (FPTI) and has never been absent from organizing or participating in competitions at regional, national, and international levels. ...
