'It's very complicated': Perspectives and beliefs of newly graduated physiotherapists about the biopsychosocial model for treating people experiencing non-specific low back pain in Brazil.

Non-specific low back pain is a common complaint frequently presented by patients and this complex clinical condition has challenged the biomedical model. The Biopsychosocial (BPS) model is recognized as an option for better guidance and patient management. However, physiotherapy training is based on the biomedical perspective, added to which, in clinical practice the applicability of the BPS model is a challenge for many professionals.

Influence of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the conduction velocity measured using EMG signals provided by linear arrays of electrodes.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can alter the functioning of muscles and even assist muscle rehabilitation. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of NMES on the conduction velocity (CV) of the brachial biceps' motor units. We used a linear array of electrodes to acquire electromyographic signals, as different subjects perform isometric voluntary contractions (IVCs), with and without prior NMES.

On the behavior of surface electromyographic variables during the menstrual cycle.

The goal of this work is to study the behavior of electromyographic variables during the menstrual cycle. Ten female volunteers (24.0 ± 2.
