Neck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal dysfunction. Studies point that individuals with chronic pain have metabolic, vascular and electromyographic changes in trapezius muscle. Moreover, a common clinical sign in this muscle in subjects with neck pain is the presence of myofascial trigger points. These are related to the sensory, motor and autonomic changes, being defined as palpable no…
Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli are among the most frequent in hospitals, which are bacteria that most commonly colonize pressure ulcers. The use of physical agents such as low level laser therapy (LLLT), Diphasic Current and High Voltage has been described as adjuvant therapeutic methods to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, howe…
Due to the multifactorial cause of chronic low back pain, the treatment resources used in the rehabilitation of these individuals are varied. Many of these treatments are exercise-based as it is a low-cost and effective treatment. Walking is an activity that is easy to perform, low risk of injury, accessible and is related to a basic human activity. However, one of the barriers that hinde…
In the last few years, photobiomodulation has been studied as a means to increase muscle performance in athletes and healthy individuals. This is possible due to the physiological changes that photobiomodulation therapy can promote. Moreover, given a large number of existing studies on the subject, some directions for future research have been established, such as the relationship between…
Introduction: Intense physical activities generate physiological changes. These modifications are capable of producing tissue damage, metabolic changes and consequently imply a decrease in sports performance. Not all health professionals who work in athlete follow-up have access to the great mechanisms of laboratory analysis because of the high cost. In this sense, tools that can reproduc…
Photobiomodulation therapy is increasingly used in sports, since studies discuss its improvement for better sport performance and can be used by means of low intensity laser (LLL) devices and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Biochemical changes induced by the absorption of light by cytochrome C oxidase (Cox), are able to produce beneficial physiologic, which result in muscular performance in…
Background: Phototherapy is a therapeutic resource of increasing use in the last decade. The photobiomodulatory effects are produced by sources of low-level lasers or light- emitting diode (LEDT), and their tissue effects are equivalent. The use of LED as a light source is promising because of its low cost, but there are no enough studies that support this use in athletes, with a focus on…
