Prevalence of positive modified scapular assistance test in patients with shoulder pain with and without scapular dyskinesis: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Scapular dyskinesis (SD) is defined as an altered position of the scapula or altered motion patterns and their relationship with shoulder pain (SP) is still under debate. The modified scapular assistance test (mSAT) modifies scapular kinematics and is used to determine the impact of scapular dyskinesis in shoulder pain. However, data about the relationship between SD and the result of mSAT is scarce.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Argentine version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic low back pain.

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Higher levels of catastrophizing were found in patients with LBP and this variable is associated with self-reported disability. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses catastrophizing in the presence of pain.

Validated argentine version of the visual vertigo analogue scale.

Background: Visual vertigo (VV), triggered by environmental or dynamic visual stimuli and repetitive visual patterns, can affect daily life activities. The Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (VVAS) is a valid and reliable self-administered questionnaire to assess VV, which has been culturally adapted to the Argentine population but has not been validated.

Objective: To validate the Argentine version of VVAS (VVAS-A) by confirming its psychometric properties in patients with vestibular disorders.

Disability is associated with catastrophizing and not with pain intensity in patients with low back pain: A retrospective study.

Objective: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability at a global scale. The development and chronicity of LBP are influenced by multiple factors, and among them is catastrophizing. We are unaware of the impact that catastrophizing may have on pain and disability in our population.

Minimal detectable change and reliability of the star excursion balance test in patients with lateral ankle sprain.

Objective: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries in the general population and athletes. Dynamic postural control deficits and somatosensory alterations are common signs after an episode of LAS. It is important to detect these deficits to prevent a recurrent sprain and the development of chronic ankle instability.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale for use in Argentina.

Background And Objective: Visual dizziness occurs when high visual dependence interferes with compensation for a vestibular lesion and leads to intolerance in situations of visual conflict. The Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (VVAS) is a self-administered, valid and reliable questionnaire that serves to assess visual dizziness. The use of questionnaires in different cultures and languages requires that they be translated and adapted to the local culture.

Efficacy of core exercises in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Trial Design: Randomized, evaluator blinded, controlled, parallel group.

Methods: This trial was conducted between July 2011 and January 2015 at a public hospital in Argentina. Patients older than 40 years with a medical diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) were randomly assigned to the experimental group (EG) or control group (CG).

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Argentine "American Shoulder and elbow surgeons, patient self-report section" questionnaire.

Background: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons questionnaire (ASES-p) has been translated into Spanish, but it has not been adapted to the Argentine population yet. Although Spain and Argentina speak the same language, linguistic differences between Spanish-speaking countries may affect the interpretation of the different items included in the questionnaire.

Objective: To conduct the translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the self-report section of the ASES-p into Argentine Spanish for patients with musculoskeletal shoulder disorders, and to assess its psychometric properties.

Postoperative rehabilitation of simultaneous rupture of anterior cruciate ligament and patellar ligament: A case report.

Introduction: The simultaneous rupture of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and patellar ligament (PL) is an infrequent condition. Each isolated injury has surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols that differ widely among each other. Nonetheless, there is no established physical rehabilitation approach when both injuries are associated.

[Cross-cultural adaptation and Argentine validation of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale Questionnaire].

The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a self-report questionnaire created to evaluate a patient's functional status in a wide spectrum of lower extremity musculoskeletal conditions. Thus far, there is no valid version in Argentina. The aims of this study were to translate the LEFS, cross-culturally adapt it for use in the Argentine population, and validate it in our country by determining its psychometric properties in patients over the age of 18 with lower extremity musculoskeletal conditions, comparing it with the SF-36 and the following functional tests: step test and timed up and go.
