Chaves G, Ghisi G, Britto R, Grace S
J Am Heart Assoc . 2019 Feb; 8(4):e011228. PMID: 30764702
Background Despite the epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in middle-income countries, few trials are testing the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation ( CR ). This trial assessed (1) maintenance of functional capacity,...

da Silva Chaves G, Ghisi G, Grace S, Oh P, Ribeiro A, Britto R
Heart . 2018 Oct; 105(5):406-413. PMID: 30282639
Objective: Despite the growing epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in middle-income countries, there is insufficient evidence about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in these countries. Thus, the effects of comprehensive CR on functional...

Mendes L, Moraes K, Hoffman M, Vieira D, Ribeiro-Samora G, Lage S, et al.
Respir Care . 2018 Aug; 64(2):136-144. PMID: 30154127
Background: Breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lips breathing, play a role in some individuals with COPD and might be considered for those patients who are unable to exercise....

Fernandes-Andrade A, Britto R, Soares D, Velloso M, Pereira D
Braz J Phys Ther . 2017 Jul; 21(5):321-328. PMID: 28711380
Background: The assessment of functional capacity in individuals with cardiovascular disease is closely related to lower limb function. The Glittre-ADL test is a global test to evaluate this patients. Objective:...

Diniz L, Neves V, Starke A, Barbosa M, Britto R, Ribeiro A
Braz J Phys Ther . 2017 May; 21(3):167-174. PMID: 28473280
Background: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple, low cost, reliable, and valid method for evaluating the functional capacity of cardiac patients. However, its early use and safety following...

Ribeiro-Samora G, Montemezzo D, Pereira D, Tagliaferri T, Vieira O, Britto R
Braz J Phys Ther . 2017 May; 21(2):100-106. PMID: 28460707
Objectives: To evaluate the agreement between the measured peak oxygen uptake (VOpeak) and the VOpeak estimated by four prediction equations based on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in chronic heart...

Chaves G, Ghisi G, Grace S, Oh P, Ribeiro A, Britto R
Braz J Phys Ther . 2016 Nov; 20(6):592-600. PMID: 27849287
Background: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading burden of disease worldwide. Moreover, CVD-related death rates are considered an epidemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Research shows that cardiac rehabilitation...

Polese J, Servio T, Chaves G, Britto R, Teixeira-Salmela L
J Phys Ther Sci . 2016 May; 28(4):1208-12. PMID: 27190454
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between self-reported and valid performance-based measures of functional capacity in individuals with chronic stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Self-reported measures...

Vieira D, Mendes L, Elmiro N, Velloso M, Britto R, Parreira V
Braz J Phys Ther . 2015 Jan; 18(6):544-52. PMID: 25590447
Background: The mechanisms underlying breathing exercises have not been fully elucidated. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of four on breathing exercises (diaphragmatic breathing, inspiratory sighs, sustained maximal inspiration and intercostal...
