- Electrodermal activity wrist-based systems: A review of validity, reliability, and responsive measuresPublication . Félix, José; Moreira, Juliana; Santos, Rubim; Sousa, AndreiaElectrodermal activity (EDA) can be defined as an electrical property of the skin, measured in the palm and sole, related to the level of conductivity, influenced by the sweat level that may depend on various stimuli. Different equipments have been used to capture EDA with high levels of reliability, validity, and responsiveness, however these values vary according to the site of measurement. The increased use of EDA wrist-based systems highlights the need of characterizing the psychometric properties of these kind of systems. The aim of this chapter is to review the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of EDA measurement in the wrist. Previous studies have demonstrated that wrist measurement present low to moderate correlations, against the gold standard systems, with moderate levels of responsiveness, while no study addressed reliability. Wrist EDA measurement could be therefore an acceptable option, however, more studies are demanded not only to assess related values of reliability, as well to best characterize validity and responsiveness measures.
- Usage of auxiliary technological systems and artificial intelligence in home-based rehabilitation settings: A reviewPublication . Ferreira, Ricardo; Santos, Rubim; Sousa, AndreiaUnderstanding the main factors that can compromise or improve the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation on the perspective of technology requires the review of the features of the equipment used in this area, both in terms of hardware and software. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the most recent technologies implemented into home-based rehabilitation scenario, namely wearable devices, robotic end-effectors, exoskeletons, and the role of artificial intelligence amongst these fields. Evidence is presented to better understand the present state of art of home-based rehabilitation systems, facilitating the exploration of hypothetical healthcare uses for these systems or their possible future upgrades.
- Fisioterapia na prevenção de quedas do adulto mais velho: Proposta de Modelo de Intervenção nos Cuidados de Saúde PrimáriosPublication .

- Obesidade na gravidez: fundamentos básicos para prescrição de exercícioPublication . Bernardo, Diana Filipa Salvador; Carvalho, Carlos Manuel Baptista; Mota, Jorge; Santos, Paula ClaraAs diretrizes internacionais para a atividade física durante a gravidez recomendam unanimemente a prática de pelo menos 150 minutos por semana de atividade física de intensidade moderada para mulheres grávidas sem contraindicações. No entanto, como a obesidade se está a tornar cada vez mais prevalente em mulheres em idade reprodutiva e mulheres grávidas, é importante compreender as alterações anatomofisiológicas e as consequências da obesidade na prescrição de exercício físico durante a gravidez. Este capítulo tem como objetivo descrever e resumir as alterações fisiológicas em grávidas com obesidade, comparar as diretrizes internacionais de exercício físico durante a gravidez em mulheres com obesidade e estabelecer indicações específicas para a prática de exercício físico.
- Ligaduras funcionais na FisioterapiaPublication . Magalhães, Bárbara; Carvalho, PauloO texto de apoio aqui proposto têm por objetivo a criação de um auxiliar de estudo, contribuindo para uma melhor compreensão da realização de ligaduras funcionais em lesões do sistema músculo-esqueléticas. Consideramos este documento uma peça fundamental para a aquisição das competências básicas dos futuros fisioterapeutas.
- Health promotion conceptual evolution and program development: a literature ReviewPublication . Félix, José; Santos, Paula Clara; Baylina, PilarThe World Health Organization defends prevention and health promotion among communities as a driver of economic and social development, where the individual level of health literacy determines health choices such as adopting healthy lifestyles, managing individual healthcare and preventing chronic diseases. Currently, health promotion is guided by a set of values, being these principles essential for identifying needs and priorities, planning, implementing, evaluating and determining the health promotion programs, that can be defined as a set of programmed, integrated and interrelated strategies and actions that aim to promote health, prevent risks, reduce years of life lost due to disability and increase quality of life. There are several models for planning health promotion programs, such as the Precede-Proceed Model, the Multivariate Approach to community Health (MATCH) Model, the Mapped Intervention Model and the Social Marketing Model. A good planning of a health promotion program can effectively reduce the health costs.

- Petrha+: A serious game to enhance physiotherapy students' clinical reasoningPublication . Macedo, Rui; Silva, Cláudia; Albouy, Bruno; F. San Juan, Alejandro; Pystynen, TiinaRole play and simulated patients are tools frequently used in undergraduate physiotherapy courses to help students gain familiarity with what they will find in future real-life encounters. However, these approaches have limitations when it comes to delivering diversity and repetition to a large number of students and are mostly bounded to the school’s premises. Web-based virtual patient software can help to overcome these shortcomings as they equally require students to go through most of the steps of the physiotherapy process, and simultaneously offer unlimited diversity of cases and repetition opportunities and can be delocalized from physical schools. PETRHA + is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership of European high education institutions aiming at the improvement of a web-based serious game prototype designed to enhance physiotherapy students’ clinical reasoning using virtual patients. The objective of this chapter is the presentation of the background context that led to the development of the serious game, its design features, functions, and ongoing and future developments.
- Kinematic analysis of the upper limb in reaching – a study in preterm and term young adults.Publication . Pereira, Soraia; Almeida, Bruna; Santos, Rubim; Silva, CláudiaEven in the absence of apparent neurological injury, preterm children, defined by the World Health Organization as babies born before the 37th week of pregnancy, may present movement disorders that are related to atypical neuromotor and behavioral development, noting that these initial deficits have a ripple effect on neurodevelopment. However, despite the evidence that changes in postural control (CP) remain throughout the child’s life, no evidence was founded regarding the maintenance of these changes until adulthood, specifically between 18 and 25 years of age, and whether these have implications for the function of the upper limb. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the kinematics of the upper limb and trunk and the behavior of the center of pressure (CoP) during the performance of the reach movement in standing, comparing the dominant upper limb (DL) with the non-dominant upper limb (NDL), in preterm and term young adults.
- International handbook for the advancement of public health policiesPublication . Missias-Moreira, Ramon; Sequeira, Carlos Alberto; Carvalho, José CarlosO conceito de qualidade de vida surge nos anos 60, com o Presidente Eisenhower, no relatório da “Commission on National Goals”, neste relatório a Qualidade de Vida é definida como um construto multidimensional e abrangente, incluindo as variações sociais e todos os seus fatores envolventes, tais como: a educação; interesses individuais; desenvolvimento económico; saúde e bem- -estar; defesa e liberdade. No domínio da saúde, este conceito começa por aplicado nos anos 70 com preocupação não só relacionada com os indivíduos doentes e com os cuidados que lhe são prestados, mas também é uma preocupação na forma como são utilizados e rentabilizados os recursos, no sentido de proporcionar a melhor Qualidade de Vida possível aos doentes.
