Introduction: Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (LALR) is fundamental to avoid instability and the risk of osteoarthritis. After surgery, deficits in muscular strength and the proprioceptive system lead to functional changes. This study aimed to investigate if proprioceptive and isokinetic training can be incorporated to manage a professional soccer player after LALR.

Background: Surface electromyography (sEMG) can provide information on muscle activation patterns during gait.

Objectives: To characterize electromyographic activity during gait in shallow water and during deep-water running compare to on land and to review and analyse underwater surface-electromyographic (sEMG) procedures.

Search Methods: Eight databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE, SPORT Discus, CINAHL, SCOPUS, SCIELO, and LILACS) were searched from their inception to the December of 2019.

The Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (LoBACS) assesses the self-efficacy to perform activities in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). As self-efficacy appears to directly influence the patient's functional capacity and prognosis, it is important to develop a scale that evaluates this attribute to guide treatment strategy and monitor the clinical course of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness of the Brazilian version of the LoBACS.

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of joint angle position and angular velocity on concentric and eccentric knee muscles activity of elderly with osteoarthritis (OA) in a deterministic and probabilistic approach compared to matched controls. Concentric and eccentric muscle activation of vastus medialis (VM) and semitendinous (ST) muscles were recorded of eleven elderly women with knee OA (median (Md (25-75%)) age of 62 years (60-72) and Md of body mass index (BMI) of 26 kg/m (24.5-27.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease that commonly affects the knee joints. Individuals older than 65 years of age with knee OA have a greater risk of falls. However, there has been limited examination of the parameters of postural sway (increased time, speed, and postural sway area [center of pressure{CoP}]), and OA of the knee.
