“…It was evidenced in this study the existence of numerous postures with knees flexed at more than 60°, in sustained positions and with force movements constantly exerted in hyperflexion. These positions and movements are predisposing factors for the worsening of PFPS [9,16,23,24,[26][27][28][29].…”

“…In the economic sector of Transport and Stock, it was verified by Pereira et al (2022) that 30% of workers of the Selective Garbage Collection had PFPS. This syndrome is mainly related to the risk factor of going up and down the truck's vertical stairs, as well as knee flexion above 60 degrees [9].…”

“…Thus, there may be biases regarding these results. It also happens that the WRMSD of the lower limbs include several joints, from the feet to the hip, and there are no specific tools to analyze the risk of contracting injuries in this area of the body in the work context [9].…”

“…Encontram-se já descritos mais de 20 patógenos passíveis de transmissão parentérica em contexto ocupacional, da qual poderá resultar a infeção dos profissionais de saúde (5,6). Incluídos neste grupo de agentes patogénicos, encontram-se o vírus da hepatite B (VHB), o vírus da hepatite C (VHC) e o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH), apontados como os três principais vírus transmitidos pelos pacientes aos profissionais de saúde (7,8,9). Uma exposição que coloque o profissional de saúde em risco é definida como uma lesão percutânea por objeto corto-perfurante ou por contacto de fluidos com mucosas ou pele não intacta.…”

“…ex., aperto de mão); o período de contagiosidade mantém-se até efetuar o primeiro tratamento ou, então, pelo uso de cama recentemente ocupada por doente infetado. A transmissão através dos ovos é incomum, mas pode acontecer, especialmente no caso da sarna crostosa, devido ao grande número de ovos presentes (1,3,7,8,9). A transmissão institucional é influenciada por fatores como a carga parasitária, a duração da exposição e a identificação precoce, ou não, dos casos (10).…”

Running, stair climbing, jumping and squatting represent a few of the activities that can cause patellofemoral pain syndrome. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most typical causes of anterior knee discomfort in teenagers and persons below Sixty. Objective: To contrast the results of conservative physical treatment plus core neuromuscular training and conservative physical therapy alone. Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study in which patients suffering from patellofemoral pain syndrome were selected on the basis of convenience sampling from Government hospitals of Faisalabad after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twenty patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome were divided into Group A and Group B at random. Participants of Group A performed neuromuscular core training plus conservative physical therapy exercise program for 4 weeks while participants of group B performed conservative physical therapy exercise alone for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 27.0. Results: Following therapy, the pain level was substantially reduced in both of the groups (P < 0.05) with Intervention group showing better results. Similarly, there was improvement in scores of Kujala questionnaire in both groups after treatment (P< 0.05) but the results of Intervention group were comparatively better. Conclusions: There is significant effect of core neuromuscular training plus conservative physical therapy as compared to conservative physical therapy alone.
