Contribution of muscular strength in cardiorespiratory fitness tests
(2006)Aim. Reports from laboratory-based studies have revealed a relationship between resistance training and endurance performance in both trained and untrained individuals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate ... -
Cross-cultural adaptation of the VISA-P questionnaire for Greek-speaking patients with patellar tendinopathy
(2014)Objectives To cross-culturally adapt the VISA-P questionnaire for Greek-speaking patients and evaluate its psychometric properties. Background The VISA-P was developed in the English language to evaluate patients with ... -
Deep sequencing of GDF5 reveals the absence of rare variants at this important osteoarthritis susceptibility locus
(2011)Objective: The common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs143383 in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) is strongly associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and influences GDF5 ... -
The effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs
(2007)Impaired position sense and impaired joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after muscle-damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increased risk of injury, particularly in older populations. ... -
Field Synopsis and Synthesis of Genetic Association Studies in Osteoarthritis: The CUMAGAS-OSTEO Information System
(2010)A comprehensive and systematic assessment of the current status of genetic association studies (GAS) for osteoarthntis was conducted. Data from 327 GAS involving 187 distinct genetic variants were analyzed and cataloged ... -
Osteoid Osteoma of the Femoral Neck: Use of the Half-Moon Sign in MRI Diagnosis
(2015)OBJECTIVE. Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that is commonly located in the proximal femur. Although CT is helpful in the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma, patients in whom the clinical presentation of the tumor is ... -
Patellar tendon length after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a comparative magnetic resonance imaging study between patellar and hamstring tendon autografts
(2007)Patellar tendon shortening after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be associated with anterior knee pain or patellofemoral arthritis. The present study was designed to compare postoperative changes in patellar ... -
The prevalence of rheumatic diseases in central Greece: a population survey
(2010)Background: Rheumatic diseases are a major health and financial burden for societies. The prevalence of rheumatic diseases may change over time, and therefore, we sought to estimate the prevalence of rheumatic diseases in ... -
Validation of the position of the femoral tunnels in anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction with 3-D CT scan
(2009)This study compares the positioning of femoral AM and PL tunnels obtained with specific ancillary instruments during anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction with the native ACL footprint using three-dimensional computed ... -
Walking kinematics and kinetics following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
(2013)The goal of this investigation was to investigate how walking patterns are affected following muscle-damaging exercise by quantifying both lower limb kinematics and kinetics. Fifteen young women conducted a maximal isokinetic ...
