Profile

Antonio graduated from the University of Malaga in 1994, having completed the BSc (Physio) Honours in Science Degree. In 1996 he gained a MSc in Sports Physiotherapy, in 1999 a MSc in Osteopathic Manual Therapy and was awarded a PhD in Human Exercise Physiology in Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaga in 2007.

Antonio was recruitment to the lecturing staff of postgraduate course the Chartered of Physiotherapist of Andalusia (Spain) in 2000 and as Head of the Department in the Public Health and Sport Centre of Torremolinos from 1998, before transferring to the newly established Department of Health Sciences of University of Jaen as Senior Lecturer in 2005. Areas of particular interest are physiology and biomechanics of clinical exercise and aquatic therapy. During 2009-10 was a postdoctoral research fellowship in Roehampton-London University with a competitive grant of Spain Government about integrations of biomechanics with physiology in human movement.

At the present day is a Principal Research of Physiotherapy and Associate Dean, International & Engagement of the Faculty of Health Sciences  at the Univeristy of Malaga, Spain. Professor Antonio Cuesta-Vargas holds a Chair in Physiotherapy and Disability at the University of Málaga. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Health at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Also, is a Section Editor of the Exercise and Health section into BMC Sport Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation Journal.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF CLINICAL RESEARCH  

 

alt

1) The CODI index is a reliable and valid tool that provides to the clinician a quick assessment of symptom severity in Fibromyalgia.

2) The Neck Disability Index reference values (NDI_REVA) can offer a standard frame of reference and the possibility of assessing the evolution of neck disability patients in a more objective way than simply interviewing them. Furthermore, in order to assist clinicians and researchers obtain immediate results based on crude patient data.

3) Fitness Index in adults with Intellectual Disabilities. (FID)

4) QUICKPIPER :A shortened version of the PIPER fatigue scale and development of severity index of cancer related fatigue. The QuickPIPER Index (QPI) represents the overall score for the 15 items and can assess the severity of cancer related fatigue (CRF). QPI values can be classified into 5 categories (very low, low, average, high and very high) which correspond with the severity of CRF.

5) The MIL index has potential utility in patient assessment and treatment evaluation and provides the clinician with a quick assessment of the mechanical or inflammatory component of non-specific low back pain. Fill this form for to known your MIL Index.
