The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of a 6-week balance training program on patients with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) in relation to the results obtained in Dynamic Balance, subjective feeling of instability and pain using a single-blind randomized controlled trial. 70 athletes were randomly assigned to control or intervention group. The control group perfo...

This paper provides an overview of how Computer Assisted Interpreter Training (CAIT) has evolved within the field conference interpreting and its contribution to modernising both teaching learning this profession. After summarising what other authors have studied in depth, it goes on critically analyse extent technological pedagogical innovations shared a common evolution challenges that interp...

Abstract Purpose Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries, with highest recurrence rates. One in five people develops chronic instability (CAI) after a lateral sprain. CAI is mainly described as subjective phenomenon, but associated recurrent symptoms, reduced dynamic stability, and physical activity quality life. Understanding relationship between perception...

BACKGROUND Ankle joint sprain and the subsequent development of chronic ankle instability (CAI) are commonly encountered by clinicians involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. It has recently been advocated that ankle joint post-sprain rehabilitation protocols should incorporate dynamic neuromuscular training to enhance ankle joint sensorimotor capabilities. To ...

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disorder. AITD development occurs due to loss of immune tolerance and reactivity to thyroid autoantigens: thyroid peroxidase (TPO), thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). This leads to infiltration of the gland by T cells and B cells that produce antibodies specific for clinical manifesta...
