          Abstract

          RESUMEN. Objetivos: REFILAB es un proyecto novedoso aplicado en la medicina laboral para la prevención y readaptación física funcional de los trabajadores de una empresa, que sigue el modelo de intervención de la lesión deportiva. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar los efectos del proyecto REFILAB sobre la aptitud física relacionada con la salud en un trabajador con diagnóstico de hemiplejia derecha secundaria a glioblastoma temporal izquierdo intervenido. El caso clínico fue un hombre de 46 años, operario de limpieza viaria y recogida de residuos de una empresa de servicios urbanos. El trabajador fue intervenido durante 4 meses con REFILAB para combatir las secuelas de su enfermedad. Después de 4 meses de intervención, el trabajador mejoró consideradamente los valores de fuerza, flexibilidad, neuromotor y resistencia. El trabajador con diagnóstico de hemiplejia derecha secundaria a glioblastoma temporal izquierdo intervenido incrementó su autonomía en las actividades de la vida diaria e instrumentales básicas.

          ABSTRACT Objectives: REFILAB is a novel occupational health project for the prevention and functional physical readaptation of workers in a company, following the model of intervention in sports injuries. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of the REFILAB project on health-related physical fitness in a subject diagnosed with brain cancer and right hemiplegia. The clinical case involved a 46-year-old man who worked for a municipal service company in street cleaning and refuse collection. The patient was treated with the REFILAB programme for 4 months to combat the sequelae of his disease. After the 4-month intervention, the worker significantly improved his strength, flexibility, neuromotor and endurance values. The worker, who was diagnosed with right hemiplegia as a result of a glioblastoma in the left temporal area, was able to increase his independence in activities of daily living and basic instrumental activities.

          Hip, knee, and ankle kinematics of high range of motion activities of daily living.

          Treatment of joint disease that results in limited flexion is often rejected by patients in non-Western cultures whose activities of daily living require a higher range of motion at the hip, knee, or ankle. However, limited information is available about the joint kinematics required for high range of motion activities, such as squatting, kneeling, and sitting cross-legged, making it difficult to design prosthetic implants that will meet the needs of these populations. Therefore, the objective of this work was to generate three-dimensional kinematics at the hip, knee, and ankle joints of Indian subjects while performing activities of daily living. Thirty healthy Indian subjects (average age: 48.2 +/- 7.6 years) were asked to perform six trials of the following activities: squatting, kneeling, and sitting cross-legged. Floating axis angles were calculated at the joints using the kinematic data collected by an electromagnetic motion tracking device with receivers located on the subject's foot, shank, thigh, and sacrum. A mean maximum flexion of 157 degrees +/- 6 degrees at the knee joint was required for squatting with heels up. Mean maximum hip flexion angles reached up to 95 degrees +/- 27 degrees for squatting with heels flat. The high standard deviation associated with this activity underscored the large range in maximum hip flexion angles required by different subjects. Mean ankle range of flexion reached 58 degrees +/- 14 degrees for the sitting cross-legged activity. The ranges of motion required to perform the activities studied are greater than that provided by most currently available joint prostheses, demonstrating the need for high range of motion implant design.

            Dynamic Stretching Has Sustained Effects on Range of Motion and Passive Stiffness of the Hamstring Muscles.

            Dynamic stretching (DS) is often performed during warm-up to help avoid hamstring muscle injuries, increase joint flexibility, and optimize performance. We examined the effects of DS of the hamstring muscles on passive knee extension range of motion (ROM), passive torque (PT) at the onset of pain (as a measure of stretch tolerance), and passive stiffness of the muscle-tendon unit over an extended period after stretching. Twenty-four healthy subjects participated, with 12 each in the experimental and control groups. Stretching was performed, and measurements were recorded using an isokinetic dynamometer pre-intervention, and at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 min post-intervention. DS consisted of ten 30-s sets of 15 repetitions of extension and relaxation of the hamstrings. ROM increased significantly (range, 7%-10%) immediately after DS, and the increase was sustained over 90 min. PT at the onset of pain also increased immediately by 10% but returned to baseline by 30 min. Passive stiffness decreased significantly (range, 7.9%-16.7%) immediately after DS, and the decrease was sustained over 90 min. Post-DS values were normalized to pre-DS values for the respective outcomes in both groups. ROM was significantly higher (range, 7.4%-10%) and passive stiffness was significantly lower (range, 5.4%-14.9%) in the experimental group relative to the control group at all time points. Normalized PT values at the onset of pain were significantly higher in the experimental group at 0-15 min than in the controls, but the differences were smaller at 30-45 min and not significant thereafter. We conclude that DS increases ROM and decreases passive stiffness in a sustained manner, and increases PT at the onset of pain for a shorter period. Overall, our results indicate that when performed prior to exercise, DS is beneficial for the hamstring muscles in terms of increasing flexibility and reducing stiffness.

              Description of ROM-SPORT I Battery: Keys to Assess Lower Limb Flexibility.

              Limited range of motion (ROM) is considered one of the most important intrinsic and modifiable risk factors for the most common sports-related injuries. In addition, controlling and monitoring an athlete's ROM is a strategy to achieve optimal ROM and improve athletic performance in sports, especially those that require high ROM in the major joints. Therefore, assessing ROM (pre-participation, during a rehabilitation process, on return to play, etc.) is important not only as a method to prevent sports injuries, but also as a quantitative determinant of the potential of athletic performance. However, despite the variety of different ROM assessment methods described in the literature, there is no consensus on which methods are best suited for this goal. Recently, the ROM-SPORT I battery has been shown to have advantages over other ROM assessment methods. This tool has not yet been fully described in detail for researchers, sports professionals, and clinicians to learn. The main objective of this study is to describe the ROM-SPORT I battery tests in detail using the following criteria: test description, simplicity of the test procedure, low need for human and material resources, predictive validity, and reliability.
