Item Development and Validation of the Overall Foot Pain Questionnaire in Motorcycle Riders(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020) Casado Hernández, Israel; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Soriano Medrano, Alfredo; Morales-Ponce, Ángel; Martiniano, João; López-López, Daniel; Calvo Lobo, CésarObjectives: Our primary aim was to develop a transcultural adaptation of a cycling questionnaire using the Borg CR-10 scale as a tool to describe the discomfort among motorcyclists during the riding process in two trial sessions. Design: A transcultural adaptation and descriptive cross-sectional study. Settings: Jarama motorcycling circuit (Madrid, Spain). Participants: The participants were riders recorded across in a final motorcycling race. Interventions: The study design is based in two tools, the adapted Motorcyclist Questionnaire (MQ-21) with 21 items and Borg CR10 Scale® was used to determine discomfort level during motorcycling performance. The translation procedure, reliability, and reproducibility were performed. Results: All items showed an almost perfect intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (ICC = 0.909–1.00), except for item 9 (ICC = 0.881). Almost perfect internal consistency was shown for the total score (Cronbach α = 0.899). No systematic differences existed among test and retest in all items (p > 0.05) according to Bland–Altman plots. Respondents experienced slight discomfort on their body parts during the test-retest 1 h riding process. Foot discomfort was scored as 1.20, being the eighth of the 12 studied body parts. Conclusions: Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the MQ-21 questionnaire were excellent and this questionnaire may be recommended to be used in motorcycling sports and clinical settings to evaluate the discomfort.Item Acute Effects of Intermittent Versus Continuous Bilateral Ankle Plantar Flexor Static Stretching on Postural Sway and Plantar Pressures: A Randomized Clinical Trial(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019) Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Díaz-Velázquez, Jose Ignacio; Palomo-López, Patricia; López-López, Daniel; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Calvo Lobo, César; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, RicardoBackground: Postural balance and fall efficacy (self-perceived confidence in performing daily physical activities) have been found to be risk factors associated with falls in older adults. Stretching is one intervention that has been investigated to improve balance and therefore reduce fall risk. Various forms of stretching have been evaluated with different outcomes, but there is a lack of knowledge about the effect of stretching (continuous and intermittent) on plantar pressures and balance. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of stretching (continuous and intermittent) of the bilateral ankle plantar flexors on plantar pressures and static balance. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was carried out. Forty-eight healthy subjects (42 females and 6 males) were recruited in an outpatient clinic. Subjects were randomly assigned to an intermittent stretching group (five sets of 1 min; 15 s of rest) or a continuous stretching group (2 min of continuous stretching) of the plantar flexors. Plantar pressures and balance using stabilometry were measured before and after stretching. Results: There were significant differences between intermittent and continuous stretching in rearfoot maximum pressure, forefoot surface area, and center of pressure surface area with eyes open. Conclusions: Bilateral intermittent stretching of the ankle plantar flexors was found to be more effective than continuous stretching for the reduction of rearfoot maximum pressure and improved balance- Project number: PIMCD73/23-24
Item Utilización de la metodología de Simulación clínica en la entrevista clínica para estudiantes de estudiantes de ciencias de la salud.(2024) Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Zaragoza García, Ignacio; Posada Moreno, María Paloma; Alcolea Palafox, Mauricio; Calvo Lobo, César; Pedraza Velasco, María Lourdes De; Pérez Boal, Eduardo; Casado Hernández, Israel; Soriano Medrano, Alfredo; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Muñoz Sánchez, José Luis; Rodríguez Sancho María José; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María Item Effectiveness between Dry Needling and Ischemic Compression in the Triceps Surae Latent Myofascial Trigger Points of Triathletes on Pressure Pain Threshold and Thermography: A Single Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019) Benito de Pedro, María; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Rodríguez Sanz, David; López-López, Daniel; Cosín Matamoros, Julia María; Calvo Lobo, César; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, RicardoBackground: Deep dry needling (DDN) and ischemic compression technic (ICT) may be considered as interventions used for the treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) in latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). The immediate effectiveness of both DDN and ICT on pressure pain threshold (PPT) and skin temperature of the latent MTrPs of the triceps surae has not yet been determined, especially in athletes due to their treatment requirements during training and competition. Objective: To compare the immediate efficacy between DDN and ICT in the latent MTrPs of triathletes considering PPT and thermography measurements. Method: A total sample of 34 triathletes was divided into two groups: DDN and ICT. The triathletes only received a treatment session of DDN (n = 17) or ICT (n = 17). PPT and skin temperature of the selected latent MTrPs were assessed before and after treatment. Results: Statistically significant differences between both groups were shown after treatment, showing a PPT reduction (p < 0.05) in the DDN group, while PPT values were maintained in the ICT group. There were not statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) for thermographic values before and treatment for both interventions. Conclusions: Findings of this study suggested that ICT could be more advisable than DDN regarding latent MTrPs local mechanosensitivity immediately after treatment due to the requirements of training and competition in athletes’ population. Nevertheless, further studies comparing both interventions in the long term should be carried out in this specific population due to the possible influence of delayed onset muscle soreness and muscle damage on PPT and thermography values secondary to the high level of training and competition.Item Effect of the cushioning running shoes in ground contact time of phases of gait(Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials., 2018) Roca Dols, Andrea; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; Sánchez Gómez, Rubén; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; López López, Daniel; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Calvo Lobo, CésarThe main objective of this research was to know how five different cushioning shoes may interfere in ground contact times of each gait phase of walking and running in contrast with barefoot condition. Thirty healthy sport recreational male runners participated in this study. They played over a treadmill wearing minimalist, Boost®, Ethyl-vinyl-acetate (EVA), Air® chamber and pronation-control cushioning shoes technologies and under barefoot condition, recording the last 30 s of walking and running at 5.17 km/h and 9 km/h respectively, while ground contact time duration of each phase of gait was recorded with circular standard pressure sensors located on plantar feet. During walking, the heel contact phase was the station that increased significantly ground contact times wearing all sole cushioning shoes (p < 0.001), excepting no sole shoes (minimalist), versus barefoot condition, being Air® chamber the model that showed the highest times of contact floor versus barefoot (0.28 ± 0.08 ms and 0.23 ± 0.12 ms vs 0.12 ± 0.07 ms and 0.18 ± 0.07 ms in heel contact during midstance phases, respectively). During running, propulsion phase was the station that showed the highest spent times on ground contact with the floor under all shoe conditions, even with minimalist, being again Air® chamber the model with higher significant times in two of three phases versus barefoot (0.11 ± 0.04 ms and 0.16 ± 0.11 ms vs 0.09 ± 0.03 ms and 0.10 ± 0.02 ms in midstance and propulsion phases respectively). Air chamber® was the model too with the most switch ratio to forefoot strike pattern (0.07 ± 0.10 ms to 0.16 ± 0.11 from heel contact to propulsion phase, respectively). In conclusion, a ground contact times increase using all cushioning running shoes compared with barefoot condition was shown in both walking and running test.Item An Automated Blood Pressure Display for Self-Measurement in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (iHealth Track): Device Validation Study(JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2020) Mazoteras Pardo, Victoria; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; López López, Daniel; Calvo Lobo, César; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Palomo López PatriciaBackground: Hypertension is a global public health issue and is closely related to chronic kidney disorder (CKD). In people with CKD, strict monitoring of blood pressure is an important part of therapy. Objective: The aim of this research was to validate the iHealth Track blood pressure monitoring device for patients with CKD according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol 2010 (ESH-IP2). Methods: In total, 33 patients who received hemodialysis in Plasencia participated in the study. There were 9 successive measurements made, which conformed to the ESH-IP2. We calculated the differences between the standard reference device (Omron M3 Intellisense) and the test device (iHealth Track) for blood pressure and heart rate values. For 99 total comparisons of paired measurements, we classified differences into various categories (≤5 mmHg, ≤10 mmHg, and ≤15 mmHg for blood pressure; ≤3, ≤5, and ≤8 beats per minute for heart rate). Results: In 90 of 99 systolic blood pressure and 89 of 99 diastolic blood pressure comparisons between the devices, measurement differences were within 5 mmHg. In 81 of 99 heart rate comparisons between the devices, measurement differences were within 3 beats per minute. The mean differences between the test and reference standard measurements were 3.27 (SD 2.99) mmHg for systolic blood pressure, 3.59 (SD 4.55) mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, and 2.18 (SD 2.75) beats per minute for heart rate. We also observed that for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, 31 of 33 participants had at least two of three comparisons between the devices with measurement differences less than 5 mmHg. For heart rate, 28 of 33 patients had at least two of three comparisons between the devices with measurement differences less than 3 beats per minute. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that iHealth Track meets the requirements of the ESH-IP2 in patients with CKD. Therefore, the iHealth Track is suitable for use in renal patients.Item Sex Differences in the Footprint Analysis During the Entire Gait Cycle in a Functional Equinus Condition: Novel Cross Sectional Research(Applied Sciences, 2019) Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Díaz-Velázquez, José Ignacio; Casado Hernández, Israel; Calvo Lobo, César; López-López, Daniel; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, RicardoSome studies suggest that gender is related to gait. Females show significantly higher ankle motion and vertical ground reaction forces. Males have significantly larger plantar contact surface areas in all regions of the foot than females in most, but not all, prior studies. However, there is no research on sex differences in a functional equinus condition. In this study, 119 individuals, including 59 females (29.7 ± 5.15 years, 58.74 ± 6.66 kg, 163.65 ± 5.58 cm) and 60 males (31.22 ± 6.06 years, 75.67 ± 9.81 kg, 177.10 ± 6.16 cm), with a functional equinus condition walked onto a pressure platform. In two separate testing sessions, five trials of each foot were conducted for the first, second, and third steps. We measured the contact surface areas for each of the three phases of the stance phase. We computed the intraclass correlation coefficient and standard error of the mean to assess the reliability. We found significantly greater contact surface areas in males than females in the first, second, and third steps in all phases of the stance phase: heel strike, mid-stance, and take-off. This is important information for the design of footwear and orthotics and gender knowledge. In a functional equinus condition, males have registered greater contact surface areas than females in all phases of the dynamic footprint of the stance phase.Item Influence of Different Hardness Custom Foot Insoles in the Electromyography Activity Patterns of the Thigh and Hip Muscles during Motorcycling Sport: A Crossover Study(Sensors, 2020) Casado Hernández, Israel; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena; Martínez-Jiménez, Eva María; López-López, Daniel; Mazoteras Pardo, Victoria; Romero-Morales, Carlos; Calvo Lobo, CésarNowadays, the use of insoles in sport practice have been recognized to decrease the foot and lower limb injury patterns. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of four types of hardness insoles (HI) in the activity patterns of the hip and thigh muscles (HTM) in motoriders during motorcycling sport. The study was a crossover trial. Subjects were elite motoriders. The mean age was 33 ± 5.14 years. Electromyography (EMG) of hip and thigh muscles (HTM) data was registered via surface while subjects were riding on an elite motorcycle simulator. Subjects had to complete different tests with randomly hardest insoles (HI): 1: only polypropylene (58◦ D Shore); 2: Polypropylene (58◦ D Shore) with selective aluminium in hallux and metatarsal heads (60 HB Brinell hardness); 3: Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (52◦ A Shore); and finally, 4: Ordinary EVA (25◦ A Shore) as the control. EMG patterns of the HTM, riding on an elite motorcycle simulator, showed the lowest peak amplitude with the insoles with polypropylene and selective aluminium. Using the hardest insoles in our study (selective aluminium) the EMG amplitude peaks decreased in all HTM.Item QardioArm(R) Blood pressure monitoring in a population with Type 2 diabetes: Validation Study.(Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2020) Mazoteras Pardo, Victoria; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Losa Iglesias, Marta Elena; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Calvo Lobo, César; Romero Morales, Carlos; López López, Daniel; Palomo Lopez, PatriciaBackground: Home blood pressure monitoring has many benefits, even more so, in populations prone to high blood pressure, such as persons with diabetes. Objective: The purpose of this research was to validate the QardioArm mobile device in a sample of individuals with noninsulin-dependent type 2 diabetes in accordance with the guidelines of the second International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. Methods: The sample consisted of 33 patients with type 2 diabetes. To evaluate the validity of QardioArm by comparing its data with that obtained with a digital sphygmomanometer (Omron M3 Intellisense), two nurses collected diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate with both devices. Results: The analysis indicated that the test device QardioArm met all the validation requirements using a sample population with type 2 diabetes. Conclusions: This paper reports the first validation of QardioArm in a population of individuals with noninsulin-dependent type 2 diabetes. QardioArm for home monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate met the requirements of the second International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension.Item Pressure and Traction technique improve Postural Control more than tactile stimulation in foot plantar fascia. A randomized single-blind trial.(Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2020) Losa Iglesias ,Marta Elena; Díaz Velázquez, José Ignacio; Palomo López, Patricia; López López, Daniel; Martínez Jiménez, Eva María; Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo; Rodríguez Sanz, David; Calvo Lobo, CésarObjective To check the acute effects of manual pressure and traction technique on balance and plantar footprint variables. Design A single-blind clinical study with 2 groups. Setting Private practice. Participants Healthy participants (N=40; 28 female and 12 male) were recruited to carry out a single-blind study. Interventions Experimental group performed a bilateral plantar fascia manual pressure and traction technique. Control group performed a tactile stimulation. The position of the participant, the therapist, and the time of application of the techniques (5min) were the same for both interventions. Main Outcome Measures We measured stabilometry variables and static footprint. The footprint variables were divided in rear, middle, and front foot areas. Results Significant differences were found in stabilometry variables. There was an improvement in experimental group at X displacement with eyes open (P=.014) and surface eyes closed (P=.046) variables. Conclusions After technique the experimental group improved the stabilometry variables, specifically surface with eyes closed and X displacement with eyes open. The static footprint variables have not shown differences after the technique compared with the control group. Section snippets Participant characteristics Forty healthy participants (28 female and 12 male) were recruited to carry out a single-blind clinical study. The Ethics Committee of the University approved the study, number authorization 2111201814518, and all participants had to sign an informed consent.
