Effects of global postural re-education on stress and sleep quality in health sciences female students: a randomized controlled trial pilot study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine, for the first time, whether the application of a self-management program with global postural re-education (GPR) influences stress and sleep quality in female health science students.

Methods: In this randomized controlled trial pilot study, forty-one female health science students were randomized into a control group (n=21) and an intervention group (n=20). Participants underwent 8 weeks of self-management with and without GPR, after familiarization and therapy training.

A systematic review of the application of deep learning techniques in the physiotherapeutic therapy of musculoskeletal pathologies.

Physiotherapy is a critical area of healthcare that involves the assessment and treatment of physical disabilities and injuries. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physiotherapy has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes. Nevertheless, it is still a rather innovative field of application of these techniques and there is a need to find what aspects are highly developed and what possible job niches can be exploited.

The effects of global postural re-education on sleep quality and stress in university women lecturers: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of global postural re-education (GPR) on sleep quality and stress in female health science lecturers.

Methods: A total of 24 female university lecturers were allocated in this randomized controlled trial into intervention ( = 12) and control ( = 12) groups. The intervention group underwent familiarization and training on the therapy to execute an 8-week treatment with GPR.

Impact of time-of-day and chronotype on neuromuscular performance in semi-professional female volleyball players.

This study aimed to determine if time-of-day could influence physical volleyball performance in females and to explore the relationship between chronotype and volleyball-specific performance. Fifteen young female athletes participated in a randomized counterbalanced trial, performing a neuromuscular test battery in the morning (9:00 h) and the evening (19:00 h) that consisted of volleyball standing spike, straight leg raise, dynamic balance, vertical jump, modified agility T-test and isometric handgrip tests. Chronotype was determined by the morningness-eveningness questionnaire.

Acute Effects of Global Postural Re-Education on Non-Specific Low Back Pain. Does Time-of-Day Play a Role?

Low back pain is one the most common forms of musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, several physiotherapeutic strategies (e.g.
