Filter by:This study compares two modes of the NETTI wheelchair (dynamic or sitting) for patients with hyperkinetic syndromes, to discover which mode is the most comfortable and best suited to these patients. It is a prospective, single-center pilot study comparing two medical devices evaluated using SCED (Single Case Experimental Design) ABAB methodology: NETTI DYNAMIC chair in dynamic mode (intervention group; phase B) versus the same chair in static mode (control group; phase A). The subject will be his/her own control
The aim of this study is to investigate body awareness and functional movement in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to healthy controls.
this study will be conducted to compare virtual reality and scapular stabilizing exercise among basketball player with scapular dyskinesia on scapular muscle performance, rounded shoulder, pain intensity , disability and hand grip strength
The statistical analysis of the collected data aims to reveal the many factors that influence patient involvement in clinical trials. Findings will be disseminated through conferences and scholarly papers to benefit all parties participating in clinical trials. These findings will help to shape the design of future clinical trials for people with tardive dyskinesia, as well as enhance recruiting techniques and retention rates.
The goal of this open-label clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of valbenazine treatment in patients with Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) who have a diagnosis of Tardive dyskinesia (TD). The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does valbenazine treatment of TD in the previously untreated patient population of adults with IDD produce comparable amelioration of signs of movement disorder as what has historically been reported in adults without IDD? - Is valbenazine treatment of TD in persons with IDD as safe as what has historically been reported in adults without IDD? - Does valbenazine treatment improve Quality of Life (QOL) in persons with IDD and TD treated with valbenazine? - Does valbenazine treatment produce positive change in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in persons with IDD and TD? - Does valbenazine treatment of TD in persons with IDD reduce caregiver burden? In this study, 25 participants with IDD and TD will undergo valbenazine treatment for 24 weeks. The participants will be seen for a total of 5 visits: at baseline, and at follow up visits at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. This study does not include a comparison group. Therefore, researchers will compare the response of the study participants to valbenazine treatment with those from a previous reported work that resulted in the FDA approval of this medication.
In spite of a growing interest in the evaluation of health-related quality of life in movement's disorders management, there is no tool specifically dedicated to dystonia and related syndromes that measures both the objective severity of the handicap and the patient's feelings about the surgical treatment in terms of subjective improvement. We have been working for several years at the bedside of patients operated on in the " pathologies cérébrales résistantes " Unit on the development of a related questionnaire to assess both the motor severity and the patients' feelings about the evolution of their disease under Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The self-questionnaire designed would allow to a certain extent to get away from the two gold standards currently used in the field, i.e. the Burke, Fahn & Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) and the SF-36, thus facilitating the evaluation and allowing a homogenization of the practices for the different implanting centers on the french territory.
Shoulder protraction is the forward tilt of the head with hyperextension of the cervical spine and is associated with lengthening of the sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscles. With the lengthening of the flexor muscles, the weakened and shortened trapezius, levator scapula, and serratus anterior muscles lead to extra flexor torque and sustained contraction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine effects of training involving rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on upper-limb movements and functions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the RAS group and the no-RAS group. Patients will receive training with or without the aid of RAS based on their groups. The training task is to use the right hand to take beads from one bowl to another bowl. The box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test will be used before and after training (i.e., pretest and posttest respectively) to assess patients' upper-limb speed and function. Researchers will compare scores of the box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test between the two groups at pretest and posttest to determine effects of RAS.
This current open-label extension (OLE) study (JM-010CS-OL) will explore the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of JM-010 of patients who completed 12-week treatment of Phase 2 (JM-010CS03) study.
The investigators will clarify rate of electromyography (EMG) rise and rate of force development in overhead athletes on scapular muscles, including upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior. The correlation between rate of EMG rise and rate of force development will also be examined.
