Evaluation of deep oscillation therapy for the treatment of lumbar pain syndrome using motion capture systems: A systematic review.

Low back pain is a painful disorder that prevents normal mobilization, increases muscle tension and whose first-line treatment is usually non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, together with non-invasive manual therapies, such as deep oscillation therapy. This systematic review aims to investigate and examine the scientific evidence of the effectiveness of deep oscillation therapy in reducing pain and clinical symptomatology in patients with low back pain, through the use of motion capture technology. To carry out this systematic review, the guidelines of the PRISMA guide were followed.

Comparison of dry needling and self-stretching in muscle extensibility, pain, stiffness, and physical function in hip osteoarthritis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Purpose: Patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) present myofascial trigger points in the hip muscles that may reduce muscle extensibility, provoke pain and stiffness, and decrease physical function. The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of dry needling (DN) intervention with a self-stretching protocol on muscle extensibility, pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with hip OA.

Materials And Methods: A single-blinded randomised controlled trial was designed.

Wearable sensors in the diagnosis and study of Parkinson's disease symptoms: a systematic review.

Nowadays, there are several diseases which affect different systems of the body, producing changes in the correct functioning of the organism and the people lifestyles. One of them is Parkinson's disease (PD), which is defined as a neurodegenerative disorder provoked by the destruction of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, resulting in a set of motor and non-motor symptoms. As this disease affects principally to ancient people, several researchers have studied different treatments and therapies for stopping neurodegeneration and diminishing symptoms, to improve the quality patients' lives.

Effectiveness of Dry Needling Therapy on Pain, Hip Muscle Strength, and Physical Function in Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To investigate the short-term effects of dry needling (DN) on physical function, pain, and hip muscle strength in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Design: A double-blind, placebo-control, randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Private practice physiotherapy clinic.

Effects of dry needling on pain, pressure pain threshold and psychological distress in patients with mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To determine the changes produced by dry needling in active myofascial trigger points in hip muscles compared to a sham needling on pain intensity, main pain area, pressure pain threshold and psychological distress in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Design: Secondary analysis of a single-centre, randomized, double-blinded, clinical trial.

Intervention: 30 participants with mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to DN group (n = 15) or sham DN group (n = 15).

Effects of dry needling in HIP muscles in patients with HIP osteoarthritis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Dry needling (DN) in active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) is effective to reduce pain, increase range of motion (ROM) and improve physical function in different musculoskeletal disorders. However, there is a lack of studies evaluating the effects of DN in active MTrPs in hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Objective: To determine the short-term effects of DN on pain, hip ROM and physical function in patients with hip OA.
