Immediate Effect of Manual Therapy on Tibiotarsal Joint Mobility and Static Balance in Individuals With Diabetes.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of manual therapy on ankle joint mobility and static balance in patients with diabetes.

Methods: Forty patients, at a mean age of 59.35 ± 7.

Influence of age and lymphedema on the postural balance of women undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Introduction: Breast cancer affects women of different ages, and comorbidities resulting from treatment can affect postural stability. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of age and lymphedema on the postural balance of women undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Methods: The study included 77 women undergoing breast cancer treatment, divided into different groups: 37 young adult women divided into 17 with lymphedema (GYL) and 20 young adults without lymphedema (GY); 40 elderly women, 20 elderly women with lymphedema (GEL) and 20 elderly women without lymphedema (GE).

Body postural realignment in the first 2 months after orthognathic surgery.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the static posture in patients with Angle Class II and III malocclusions in the first 2 months after orthognathic surgery.

Methods: This was a longitudinal observational study. Eligible participants were adult patients who had an indication of orthognathic surgery (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the maxilla and/or mandible, can be associated or not with genioplasty).

Alteration of Blood Circulation in the Upper Limb Before and After Surgery for Breast Cancer Associated with Axillary Lymph Node Dissection or Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy.

Background: This aim of this study was to assess and compare arterial and venous circulation in women with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) before and after breast cancer surgery.

Methods And Results: Fifty-two women took part in the study, divided into three groups: those undergoing ALND at levels I, II, and III (ALNDG), with mean age of 56.29 ± 10.

Reduction in handgrip strength and electromyographic activity in women with breast cancer.

Background: Breast cancer survivors have side effects from surgical treatment and adjuvant that may acutely or chronically compromise the musculoskeletal system, resulting in loss of muscle strength.

Objective: Handgrip strength and electromyography of the upper limbs and its relationship with dominance in women submitted to surgery for breast cancer.

Methods: Were evaluated 28 women.
