The effect of kinesiotaping on edema: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Treatment for edema involves multiple approaches, with Kinesiotaping having recently emerged as an option for edema reduction.

Objective: To systematically summarize current evidence on the effects of Kinesiotaping on edema reduction on any type of edema.

Methods: A systematic review was performed including randomized clinical trials that compared the effects of Kinesiotaping to any other intervention or no intervention on edema.

Accuracy of infrared thermography evaluation in burn wound healing: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Accurate assessment of burn depth and burn wound healing potential is essential to determine early treatments. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive and objective tool to do this. This systematic review evaluated the accuracy of IRT to determine burn wound healing potential.

Skin temperature of women: A prospective longitudinal study.

Introduction: The different phases of a woman's life, such as the reproductive phase and menopause, are points of great hormonal oscillation, especially estrogen and progesterone, which can interfere with skin temperature.

Objective: To describe and compare skin temperatures of women during their physiological menstrual cycle, the use of exogenous hormones and menopause over a period of 28 days.

Method: This is a prospective observational study using a quantitative approach.

Accuracy of infrared thermography in detecting tendinopathy: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Objective: To systematically review the literature on diagnosis of tendinopathy using infrared thermography (IT).

Methods: This is a systematic review that followed the recommendations of PRISMA. The databases Medline, PEDro, SciELO, Embase, CENTRAL, and CINAHL were searched from inception up to December 2021.

Electrolipolysis associated with aerobic activity does not reduce subcutaneous adipose tissue of the abdominal region of young women: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To analyze the effects of electrolysis, through a medium frequency current, associated to aerobic physical activity in the body composition of young women.

Methods: The study was composed of 34 sedentary women (24.35 ± 4.

Can Skin Temperature Be Altered After Different Magnitudes of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage?

: This study aimed to assess skin temperature (Tsk) changes after different magnitudes of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) of the elbow flexor muscles and investigate whether Tsk is related to indirect markers of EIMD. : Thirty healthy active men were randomly allocated to the mild (MiDG) ( = 15) or moderate (MoDG) ( = 15) muscle damage group. Muscle damage in elbow flexor muscles was induced by 10 (for MiDG) or 30 (for MoDG) maximal eccentric isokinetic contractions at 60 degrees/s.

The immediate effect of whole-body vibration on rectus abdominis muscle activity and cutaneous temperature: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To compare acute effects of isometric abdominal exercises performed with or without vibration on the electromyographic activity and cutaneous temperature in the abdominal region of physically active individuals.

Methods: A randomized controlled crossover clinical trial was undertaken in thirty volunteers who completed one unique session of two different protocols of interventions apart from a week from each other, in a two-week study protocol. The subjects were randomly divided in to two groups of 15 volunteers; both were assigned to perform board exercise (30 s on the front, right and left lateral boards, with a rest interval of 2 min).

Lactate Concentration Is Related to Skin Temperature Variation After a Specific Incremental Judo Test.

Gomes Moreira, D, José Brito, C, de Almeida Ferreira, JJ, Bouzas Marins, JC, López Díaz de Durana, A, Couceiro Canalejo, J, Butragueño Revenga, J, and Sillero-Quintana, M. Lactate concentration is related to skin temperature variation after a specific incremental judo test. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2213-2221, 2021-This study aimed to analyze the skin temperature (tsk) response in judokas after a specific incremental test and to determine whether anthropometric and physiological measures can be explained by the variation in mean tsk.

Skin temperature changes during muscular static stretching exercise.

This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of stretching exercise on skin temperature, flexibility, passive muscle stiffness, and pain during hamstring stretching in healthy young subjects. Thirty-one participants (n=31) were randomly divided into 2 groups: an experimental group (EG, n=15), which was submitted to hamstring stretching exercise for 180 sec, and the control group (n=16), which was not exercised. Skin temperature (TsK) was collected in subjects' posterior thigh using a thermographic camera at 7 time points with intervals of 30 sec each: T0 (rest), T30, T60, T90, T120, T150, and T180.

Effects of different montages of transcranial direct current stimulation on the risk of falls and lower limb function after stroke.

Background: Stroke is associated with high rates of falling and severe impairment of lower limb in patients who survive.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of different montages of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reducing falls and on lower limb function after acute stroke.

Methods: Sixty participants with acute stroke were randomly allocated into four groups with different electrode's setups: anodal, cathodal, bilateral and sham tDCS.

Active stretching improves flexibility, joint torque, and functional mobility in older women.

Objective: To investigate the effect of an active stretching program on the knee flexors with regards to flexibility, torque, and functional mobility of older women. The hypothesis of this study was that a program of active knee-flexor stretching increases flexibility and muscle torque and improves functional mobility.

Design: Twelve active older women aged 68.
