“…In order to choose a physical exercise having complete efficacy against breast cancer treatment effects on the side of treatment, particular attention should be paid to Nordic Walking. Nordic Walking has been reported to achieve balanced postural changes in breast cancer-related treatment postural disorders10 ) , increases in upper extremity strength8 ) , improvements in cardio-metabolic and respiratory measures and has been used in the prevention and treatment of upper limb lymphedema. However, in order to elicit beneficial effects, it is necessary to perform the proper technique and achieve consistency in training.…”

“…To furnish a wide-ranging healthy intervention, the recently introduced physical fitness discipline of Nordic Walking appears to be useful for breast cancer survivors. Nordic Walking is a form of brisk walking, utilizing a walking pole, which actively engages the trunk and upper limbs during walking, increasing their range of motion and increasing total body muscle endurance7,8,9,10 ) , and it has positive effects on cardio-metabolic, postural and balance measures in both healthy and pathological conditions11,12,13 ) . In addition, due to its principal characteristics, it is conceivable to consider Nordic Walking as an effective discipline against lymphedema14, 15 ) .…”

[Purpose] The aims of this study were to verify the effects on upper limb circumferences and total body extracellular water of 10 weeks of Nordic Walking (NW) and Walking (W), both alone and combined with a series of exercises created for breast cancer survivors, the ISA method. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty breast cancer survivors were randomly assigned to 4 different training groups and evaluated for upper limb circumferences, total body and extracellular water. [Results] The breast cancer survivors who performed NW, alone and combined with the ISA method, and Walking combined with the ISA method (but not alone) showed significantly reduced arm and forearm circumferences homolateral to the surgical intervention. [Conclusion] For breast cancer survivors, NW, alone and combined with the ISA method, and Walking combined with the ISA method should be prescribed to prevent the onset and to treat light forms of upper limb lymphedema because Walking training practiced alone had no significant effect on upper limb circumference reduction.

“…The initial search resulted in the finding of 76 investigations. After reading the titles and the abstracts, 36 potential studies were identified, 9 of which were included in the final analysis (Figure ; Di Blasio, Morano, Bucci, et al, ; Di Blasio, Morano, Napolitano, et al, ; Fields, Richardson, Hopkinson, & Fenlon, ; Fischer et al, ; Hanuszkiewicz, Malicka, Barczyk‐Pawelec, & Woźniewski, ; Hanuszkiewicz, Malicka, & Woźniewski, ; Jönsson & Johansson, , ; Malicka et al, ).…”

Nordic walking for women with breast cancer: A systematic review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nordic walking (NW) seems to be an interesting rehabilitation strategy for women with breast cancer (BC). No review article that has synthesised and summarised the existing scientific evidence about the effect of NW on BC survivors has been published so far. A systematic review was conducted aimed at identifying the characteristics and methodological quality of the studies that have analysed the effects of NW on women with BC. The critical appraisal of the randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was retrieved from the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). The methodological quality of the uncontrolled studies was evaluated by means of the Quality Assessment Tool for Before–After Studies with No Control Group. Nine investigations (four RCTs and five quasi‐experimental studies) were included in the final analysis. The RCTs showed a fair methodological quality, while the quasi‐experimental studies obtained a score ranging from “fair” to “poor”. Judging from the findings of the analysed studies, NW had a significant and positive impact on a number of BC symptoms, including lymphedema, physical fitness, disability and morbid perceptions. No adverse effects were reported. However, due to the methodological limitations observed, further research is needed to confirm such findings.

“…It is common to find studies that do not denote the position of evaluated inferior members clearly, such as the study of Batistão et al (2014), which requires the individuals to align their feet according to the width of their hip and the study of Hanuskiewicz et al (2015), that requires the individuals to stand freely with their feet in parallel and heels aligned. Both studies do not determine angles or distances between feet, which might be considered a lack of rigor in the protocol's methodology and produce misleading results in the evaluation.…”

Feet positioning in the semi-static postural evaluation through photogrammetry: a systematic review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Photogrammetry is a relatively simple and objective instrument of evaluation that provides accurate and reproducible quantitative results, if applied rigorously, existing nowadays several protocols. The main purpose was to systematically review the utilized feet positioning to conduct a semi-static postural evaluation through photogrammetry. It was performed a systematic review of observational studies and clinic trials using the keywords "photogrammetry" and "spinal postural evaluation" to conduct searches on scientific databases. The eligibility criteria adopted were: utilize the photogrammetry to evaluate children, teenagers, adults or elders with or without pathologies; explicit the utilized feet positioning to conduct the evaluation; and be written in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The methodological quality was assessed by Downs and Black scale and the strength of evidence by the best evidence synthesis. It was found 1.786 articles and 40 were included in this review. The main feet positioning found were: self-referred, separated and in parallel, united and in parallel and standard self-referred. The review exhibited strong strength of evidence in the methodological quality assessment. Considering the main feet positioning found, it is considered primordial that the selection of evaluation methodology respects the specific instructions of each analysis protocol or software.
