General Goals: To create a broad protocol covering the different pathologies included in the diagnosis of shoulder pain, that may be applied by the majority of physiotherapists...

The lack of stability or "instability" of the lumbar spine must be differentiated from hypermobility. In both the range of motion is greater than normal. However, instability is present when excessive movement is accompanied by a lack of "protective" muscle control (Maitly 1986). The two situations are often the cause of many lumbar pains.

Epicondylitis, also know as “tennis elbow”, is an inflammation of the insertion of the tendons of the wrist extensor muscles with insertion on the lateral epicondyle (I and II radial, posterior ulnar, finger extensors and long and short supinators).

A literature review was carried out on various aspects of obstetric brachial palsy (OBP). Expressed in this paper are criteria for diagnosis, surgical treatment options, performance of the entire interdisciplinary team and the development of kinesic treatment.

In Spain, there are more and more physiotherapists that dare to embark on a journey to find new knowledge about osteopathy.

This study involved conducting a kineanthropometric study on tennis and volleyball players aged between 13 and 16 who had at least two years of training. Afterwards the averages of players of the sport were taken.

Kinematic gait analysis is the description of the details of human movement regardless of the internal or external forces that cause it. This parameter is an important tool for obtaining normal and pathological patterns of locomotion, and in addition, it has been shown to be useful in treatment prescription and also in evaluation therapeutic results.

Today, the injury of the moment in Spanish football is the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. [1]. Finding out the main reason why this ligament gets injured is of great relevance and interest, as is studying the increasing prevalence of this injury at the beginning of last season.

Footballer’s groin has many names [1] such as pubalgia, pubic enthesitis, dynamic osteopathy of the pubis, or osteoperiosteal adductor enthesitis, among others, though these are the most common and used. There is currently not much concordance as to what causes the appearance of pubalgia.

It has been shown that a hernia does not occur unless the disc is previously degenerated. [1, 2] Disciplines like ergonomy and postural hygene have aimed to minimize external risk factors like heavy lifting, sitting and sleeping posture, etc. However, it does not seem sufficient to reduce the prevalence of lumbar disc herniation, either because they are not sufficiently effective or because the patient doesn’t practice them unless he or she has symptoms.

This research paper was conducted in order to compare the effects of including the technique of iontophoresis in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients with symptoms in the hands vs. the effects of applying only conventional treatment. To this end, we conducted a field study with a sample of 6 patients, divided into a control group (A) and an experimental (B) with 3 patients each.

In the life of every individual the act of acquiring a home involves a continual time commitment to developing certain activities within it. This can generate both physical and psychological health problems due to a lack of knowledge about bad postures when doing housework, as a result of erroneous learning of gestualization of these postures.

The temporomandibular joint enables the functional movements of the mouth necessary for feeding and speech. When a dysfunction in this joint occurs, the mobility of the mouth is limited and therefore the functionality of the affected person. The most common alterations are temporomandibular joint syndrome, fractures, luxations / subluxations, bruxism and arthritis, which typically produce pain, swelling, limitation of joint mobility and muscle imbalance.

To carry out this article, I compared the human body with a puzzle. A person suffering an amputation loses part of his body, which would in some way be equivalent to a piece of the puzzle. Although the amputee patient believes he is complete and is not aware of his deficit, since he still feels as if the limb were present, this is the phantom limb sensation.

The goal of this research paper is to demonstrate that the completion of stretching programs of the muscle chains that are most programmed in the posture adopted to insert the banderillas, specifically the “inside” style, can improve the performance of this technique and prevent possible injuries, especially to the lower back.
