Postural Control Pre- and Post-Group Supervised Clinic Based Exercise or Home Based Exercise in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

SUMMARY Background. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, multifactorial and progressive disease that decreases range of motion and flexibility and alters proprioception and postural control. Postural control provides stability and conditions to assume and maintain the desired body position. In OA patients, this postural control is diminished along with overall functional capacity, and physical exercise … Continued

Effects of Resistance Training with Blood Flow Restriction on Muscle Strength and Biomarkers in Older People: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials

SUMMARY Background. Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a technique that utilizes inflatable cuffs to partially restrict arterial inflow and modulate venous flow in the active musculature through gradual mechanical compression. Objective. This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of resistance training (RT) with BFR on muscle strength and biomarkers in older individuals. Methods. This … Continued
