Introduction: Mind-body therapies encompass a series of practices that make use of meditation exercises, relaxation, mindfulness, controlled breathing, postures and smooth movements, in order to lead its practitioners to healthy psychophysical conditions. In times of quarantine and social distancing, online strategies are necessary to enable the access to healthcare. This work aims to present mind-body therapies, through telemedicine, as a resource for the decrease of number of injuries, and the promotion of health in times of quarantine and social distancing.
Methods:The ideas that are shown in this paper are based on contents of articles that had been published in scientific journals, and that had been complemented by the theoretical and practical knowledge of the authors in this area of knowledge.Results: Studies show that online mind-body therapies can provide positive effects on physical, mental and emotional components that are related to health in different contexts.
Conclusion:In times of pandemic, mind-body therapies through telemedicine appear as important complementary resource of the strategies that aim the decrease of diseases and promotion of health, in situations of quarantine and social distancing.
This systematic review protocol with meta-analysis aims to verify the effects of the total volume of resistance training on pain outcomes and functional capacity in individuals with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome. This review will be developed following the steps of formulation of the research question, search for randomized clinical trials, selection of studies considering the eligibility criteria, data extraction, analysis and synthesis of evidence. The question will be based on PICOS strategy: “What total volumes of resistance training reduce pain and improve function in individuals with shoulder impingement syndrome?” Searches will be carried out in 12 databases and gray literature sources. The results will be exported to the Rayyan application so that two independent and blind reviewers can perform the exclusion of duplicates and selection of studies by reading titles and abstracts. Randomized clinical trials that analyzed the effects of resistance training in the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome will be selected for full-text reading, of which, studies that meet the eligibility criteria will have their data extracted and submitted to narrative synthesis and, if possible, to the meta-analysis. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) tools will be used to analyze the methodological quality and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) for the quality of the evidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
