- Measures of neuropsychological assessment as indicators of success in neuropsychological rehabilitation: an exploratory correlational studyPublication . Mendes, Liliana; Barbosa, F.; Reis, L.P.Neuropsychological assessment not only allows diagnosing possible neurocognitive impairments in domains such as attention, working memory, and executive functions, but can also provide useful information for the neuropsychological rehabilitation. By applying a set of valid neuropsychological tests to individuals with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), and subsequently studying how patients’ performance in rehabilitation programs relates with measures that are commonly provided by these tests, we may obtain valuable predictors of individual success that can be considered in neuropsychological rehabilitation.
- Neuromuscular taping does not change fibularis longus latency time and postural swayPublication . Correia, Christophe; Lopes, Susana; Gonçalves, Rafael; Torres, Rui; Gonçalves, Pedro; Rodrigues, Mário; Costa, Rui; Lopes, Mário; Ribeiro, FernandoAnkle sprains are a common injury and fibularis longus plays an important role improving functional stability. Neuromuscular tape seems to improve muscle force, although little is known regarding its effect on latency time.
- Kinematic and electromyographic features of upper-limb movement performed by healthy and post-stroke patientsPublication . Silva, Rosa Mariana; Fonseca, Pedro; Pinheiro, Ana Rita; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Silva, Cláudia; Correia, Miguel Velhote; Mouta, SandraIt is extremely difficult to simplify the relation between several body parts, which perform human motion, into one set of features. Mainly, the upper-limb is capable of a wider range of actions, going from fine manipulation to prehension and grasping. Aiming to describe its complexity, several studies have been conducted in order to better understand the upper-limb specificities. However, most of studies restrain the task to pointing, reaching, or grasping, which seems not enough to explain the wide range of tasks possible to be performed in a daily scenario.
- Psychometric Properties of the Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS) among Portuguese undergraduate students in Allied Health SciencesPublication . Carvalho, Irene; Dores, Artemisa Rocha; Grilo, Ana; Martins, Helena; Magalhães, Andreia; Salgado, AnaCommunication in health has attracted increasing interest in recent decades, revealing the need for appropriate research tools. The study of the psychometric properties of instruments and the confirmation of their structure is crucial for the reliability and validity of the overall results of scientific work. Repeated analyses of these dimensions over time are important because it allows us to identify changes that result from social and cultural changes. This study aims to assess the reliability, factor structure, and construct validity of the Communication Skills Attitudes Scale.
- Needs assessment of families of people with mental illnessPublication . Santos, Teresa; Marques, António; Queirós, CristinaIn Portugal, the majority of people with mental illness live with their families, which play an important role in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with these conditions. Supporting families of people with mental illness is considered a key component in the psychosocial rehabilitation process (O’Doherty, Doherty, & Walsh, 2006). Given the central role of families and informal caregivers, it is critical to acknowledge their difficulties and needs to increase the effectiveness and scope of family interventions approaches (Vermeulen et al., 2015). Research indicates that effective support to informal caregivers enhance systemically the recovery of people with mental illness.
- The use of mobile technologies to support psychosocial rehabilitation of people with mental health problemsPublication . Simões De Almeida, Raquel; Marques, António; Queirós, CristinaAn efficient psychosocial rehabilitation program is essential in order to achieve symptoms’ remission and promote a functional and satisfying life for people with mental ilness. The use of mobile technologies not only has become a prominent term within the practice of medicine, but also have great potential to improve the quality of services (Ben-Zeev, Drake & Brian, 2014; Tomlinson et al., 2013). There is some evidence concerning this topic and it is important to summarize it.
- Implementation of a peer support program in mental illnessPublication . Campos, Filipa; Marques, António; Queirós, CristinaPeer support is a mutual aid system based on the belief that someone who faced/overcome adversity can provide support, encouragement and guidance to those who experience similar situations. Literature reveals that participation in peer support programs has benefits for people with mental illness, including increased self-esteem, self-confidence, empowerment and hope in their recovery.
- Avaliação das propriedades psicométricas e validação do NEO-FFI para estudantes portugueses de tecnologias da saúdePublication . Martins, Helena; Reis, Ana; Salgado, Ana Isabel; Magalhães, Andreia Carla Fonseca; Sousa, Zita; Dores, Artemisa RochaO modelo de 5 fatores (Big Five) organiza a personalidade humana em cinco fatores: neuroticismo, extroversão, abertura à experiência, amabilidade e conscienciosidade. O Neo-Five Factor Inventory (Neo-FFI) avalia a personalidade no modelo teórico referido. Neste trabalho apresentamos os esforços de validação da escala para estudantes portugueses de tecnologias da saúde, incluindo fiabilidade, análise fatorial exploratória e análise fatorial confirmatória.
- Características psicométricas da Escala de Empatia de Jefferson em estudantes de Tecnologias da SaúdePublication . Reis, Ana; Martins, Helena; Salgado, Ana Isabel; Magalhães, Andreia; Sousa, Zita; Dores, Artemisa RochaO impacto positivo da Empatia no contexto das profissões de saúde é consensualmente aceite pela comunidade científica. Diversos estudos têm sido desenvolvidos na área da Medicina, mas os resultados têm-se revelado controversos. No entanto, são escassos os estudos que se debruçam sobre a Empatia entre os estudantes das Tecnologias da Saúde, pelo que é objetivo deste trabalho a validação da Escala de Empatia de Jefferson – versão para estudantes para o contexto das tecnologias da saúde.
- Immediate effects of myofascial induction of quadratus lumborum in postural orientation of standing asymptomatic subjectsPublication . Pinheiro, Ana Rita; Cunha, Christine; Fernandes, Ana Rita; Pastilha, Tiago; Nuno, Vanessa Catarino; Crasto, Carlos; Silva, Cláudia; Santos, Rubim; Carvalho, PauloStanding represents a challenging posture that requires upright orientation of body segments (Winter 1995). The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), a complex network of fascial layers that establishes a direct relationship with several trunk muscles (Willard et al 2012), might be a privileged structure to influence standing posture, either by the direct transmission of forces to the muscle fibers (Turrina et al 2013; Willard et al 2012), influencing its tension, or by the inputs to the central nervous system, ultimately influencing body schema and motor control. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the immediate effects of a myofascial induction technique over TLF on the postural orientation of asymptomatic standing subjects.
