The Spanish adaptation of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart: psychometric evidence in cardiac rehabilitation patients.

Background: The factor structure of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart version has rarely been adequately analyzed. We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of this scale through a variety of exploratory and confirmatory factorial approaches.

Aim: To perform a translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of the Spanish version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart in patients attending Cardiac Rehabilitation (TSK-SPA).

Design, Development, and Functional Validation of a 3D-Printed Passive Upper Limb Exoskeleton.

Motor disability in children is evident in diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, or spinal muscular atrophy, among others, due to altered movement and postural patterns. This becomes more evident as the child grows and can be treated with physical therapy. The effectiveness of early interventions in facilitating an improvement in daily life activities varies depending on the child's condition.

Temporal Dynamics of Adverse Effects across Five Sessions of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.

(1) Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe intervention, only producing mild and transient adverse effects (AEs). However, there is no detailed analysis of the pattern of adverse effects in an application transferable to the clinic. Therefore, our objective is to describe the AEs produced by tDCS and its temporal evolution.

Motor imagery ability in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and evidence map.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of permanent movement and posture disorders. Motor imagery (MI) therapy is known to provide potential benefits, but data on MI ability in children and adolescents with CP is lacking.

Objective: A systematic review was performed to explore MI abilities in children and adolescents with CP compared to typically developed (TD) subjects.

Combination of different noninvasive brain stimulation treatments for upper limb recovery in stroke patients: A systematic review.

We report a review of Pubmed (Medline), CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Scopus to test the effectiveness of the combined application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation in the improvement of different functional variables of the upper limb in people with stroke. Two independent reviewers assessed eligibility and evaluated the quality of the studies. Five articles were included in the final review according to the inclusion criteria: Most show statistically significant differences in motor function improvement in favor of the experimental group, but not in activity.
