    Effects of neuropilates on functional outcomes in chronic stroke: a randomized clinical trial
    (MDPI, 2024-04-17) García Bravo, Cristina; Delgado Lobete, Laura; Montes Montes, Rebeca; Rodríguez Pérez, María Pilar; Trugeda Pedrajo, Nuria; Fernández Gómez, Gemma; García Bravo, Sara; Atención Sociosanitaria; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Ciencias Sociosanitarias (Lorca)
    Neuropilates is an intervention approach that was developed as a modified version of the Pilates Method to be used for neurological rehabilitation. The main objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy rehabilitation in comparison to a combination of traditional rehabilitation with Neuropilates in adults with post-stroke motor disabilities. This was a rater- and analyst-blinded randomized clinical trial with a three-month intervention and a one-month follow up. Participants were randomly allocated to either the experimental group (EG, receiving a combination of conventional therapy and Neuropilates; n = 15) or the control group (CG, receiving solely conventional therapy; n = 15). Once adjusted for baseline FIM scores, the results showed significant differences favoring the EG in daily functioning (FIM), static balance (FRT), right-hand manual dexterity (NHPT) and right-upper limb coordination (BBT). Satisfaction with the received treatment as measured with the CSQ-8 was significantly higher for the EG. In conclusion, the incorporation of Neuropilates, facilitated by a single experienced therapist, can be a valuable complement to conventional physical and occupational therapy. However, Neuropilates-based interventions should be supervised and tailored to each individual by a professional specifically trained in the method.

    Research on the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance Approach: a bibliometric review
    (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2024-10-25) Valera Gran, Desirée; Delgado Lobete, Laura; Montes Montes, Rebeca; Navarrete Muñoz, Eva María; Atención Sociosanitaria; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Ciencias Sociosanitarias (Lorca)
    Importance: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is an evidence-based intervention approach that has significantly increased in popularity over the past two decades. However, how the research literature on this topic is patterned is still unknown, so it is difficult to identify potential areas for research and clinical interest. Aims: To analyze the literature published on the CO-OP approach to provide a detailed and structured analysis of the publication patterns. Data Sources: All literature related to CO-OP included in the Web of Science database through June 15, 2024. Study Selection and Data Collection: All published studies related to CO-OP were included in the bibliometric analysis, which was conducted on the raw data retrieved from the Web of Science database using the Bibliometrix R package. Findings: The annual growth rate in CO-OP research has been 0.8%, significantly increasing from 2015 onward. Most of the research has been published in occupational therapy and rehabilitation journals by English-speaking research teams, and its scope has expanded from developmental coordination disorder to a wide range of health conditions. In addition, two main lines of research have emerged: one focusing on understanding the underlying cognitive processes involved in CO-OP and the other focusing on its clinical effectiveness. Conclusions and Relevance: Research on CO-OP has significantly increased over the past decade, and it currently encompasses a wide range of areas. This analysis may facilitate the advancement of research on and the clinical practical application of CO-OP. Plain-Language Summary: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is an evidence-based intervention approach that has significantly increased in popularity over the past two decades. Occupational therapists use it to improve the occupational performance of both children and adults with movement difficulties. However, it is unknown how the research literature on this topic is patterned, so it is difficult to identify potential areas for research and clinical interest. This study found that scientific literature on CO-OP has significantly increased in the past decade and that its scope has expanded from developmental coordination disorder to a wider range of health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. Moreover, research is now focused on two main questions: What are the underlying cognitive processes involved during intervention, and how effective is the CO-OP approach? These findings can be used to further improve occupational performance and participation among occupational therapy clients who struggle with motor performance and planning.

    Assessment of barriers to physical activity practice: Spanish cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the barriers to being active quiz
    (SAGE Publications, 2025-11-13) Blanco Martínez, Nerea; Montes Montes, Rebeca; Ayán Pérez, Carlos; Berlier Cea, Alicia Beatriz; Delgado Lobete, Laura; Atención Sociosanitaria; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Ciencias Sociosanitarias (Lorca)
    The general population struggles to meet physical activity recommendations, risking mental and physical health. Validated, culturally adapted tools are essential for identifying barriers and implementing effective, context-specific strategies to promote exercise participation. Despite its wide use, the cross-cultural equivalence, and psychometric properties of the Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) have not been confirmed. The purpose of this study was to validate the BBAQ cross-culturally into European Spanish (BBAQ-ES). Following international guidelines, the BBAQ underwent a systematic four-step process involving a multidisciplinary translation, synthesis, reconciliation, review, and a population-based comprehensibility test. Measurement properties—including structural and construct validity, and internal consistency, measurement error and test-retest reliability—were assessed following COSMIN guidelines on a sample of 589 Spanish University students. The IPAQ-SF was used as comparator instrument during hypothesis testing for construct validity (i.e. convergent, and discriminative validity). The BBAQ-ES demonstrates strong cross-cultural equivalence and good measurement properties (RMSEA = 0.0485, CFI = 0.946; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.875; ICC = 0.724 –0.878; confirmed hypotheses testing >75%). The BBAQ-ES is a cross-culturally adapted, reliable and valid measure to assess multidimensional obstacles to physical activity. This study provides valuable new insights for international research and clinical practice.
