Abstract

To evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of fleximetry in the measurement of range of motion (ROM) in individuals with chronic shoulder pain. Reliability study. Physiotherapy clinic. Thirty individuals of both genders, ages between 18 and 45 years, with chronic shoulder pain. Fleximetry was used to measurement shoulder ROM (flexion, hyperextension, abduction, medial and lateral rotation, and horizontal abduction and adduction). Two examiners performed the evaluations of the shoulder ROM at two time points (interval of one week between them). In the intra-rater reliability, substantial to excellent reliability was found, with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values ranging from 0.79 to 0.92, standard error of the measurement (SEM) values ranging from 5.70 to 8.72°, and minimum detectable change (MDC) values varying between 15.80 and 25.18°. Regarding the inter-rater reliability, moderate to excellent reliability was observed, with ICC values ranging from 0.68 to 0.96, SEM values ranging from 4.98 to 11.53°, and MDC values ranging from 13.82 to 31.97°. The use of the fleximeter to measure shoulder ROM presents acceptable reliability values in individuals with chronic shoulder pain, which supports the use of this...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
