Filter by:We aimed to investigate the effect of kinesiotaping on pain, functionality and ultrasound parameters in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS).
Lactate is a compound produced as a by-product of glycolysis. The increase in lactate concentration can result from a variety of causes, such as during anaerobic metabolism in exercise or haemodynamic shock in conditions such as sepsis. The study will aim to validate a novel microneedle-based minimally invasive device for the continuous measurement of lactate during exercise.
The main aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on Plantar Pressure Distribution and Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-four patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group will teach basic elements. Patients' maintenance of posture during both static and dynamic conditions (Biodex Balance System SD), distribution of foot pressure (Baropedometric Platform), foot posture (Foot Posture Index), frontal-sagittal plan posture (PostureScreen Mobile Application), body symmetry (Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index and Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index), deformity perception (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22), spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
The main aim of the investigator's study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on spine joint reposition sense and also to investigate the effect of PSSE on vertebral rotation, pain, posture, body image and quality of life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-six patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group wiil teach basic elements. Patients' spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale), posture parameters (PostureScreen Mobile, Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) and Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (ATSI)), cosmetic perception (Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale (WRVAS)), joint reposition sensations (dual-inclinometer), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
The present project aims to investigate the effects of high-quality protein (whey protein) vs. low-quality protein (collagen) on muscle mass and function (e.g., strength and power) during a 10-wk resistance training program in young adults. It will be tested the hypothesis that leucine-matched collagen should promote similar gains on muscle function and mass compared to whey protein supplementation.
The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of multisensory balance training on the levels of visual dependence and sensory organization capacity in community-dwelling older adults. Participants in the experimental group received multisensory balance training while those in the control group received conventional balance training without sensory manipulation.
Exercise is a key component of obesity management. Obese subjects cannot attend or sustain exercise program because of increased general fatigue, dyspnea and muscle fatigue. And they feel more exertion when comparing with normal weight subjects. Reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training (REHIT) is a alternative method to continuous exercise programs. The investigators aimed comparing metabolic effects of REHIT and continuous exercise in young adults, in this study.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that creatine will accelerate adaptations associated with exercise in breast cancer survivors recently completing chemotherapy.
The scope of the STRONG_2 project is to investigate the effect of supervised exercise as add-on to standard of care (SOC), for patients with eating disorders (EDs). The effect of supervised strength training will be measured on health parameters such as muscle strength. The study includes patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and in treatment at the Mental Health Center Ballerup (PCB) in the Capital Region of Denmark.
Scientific Background: Despite the known health benefits of exercising during old age, older people remain highly sedentary. Official exercise guidelines aimed specifically at older people focus primarily on aerobic activity, and tend to be over generalized.There is need for personalized exercise programs, which account for the increasing variability in measures of fitness and mobility with advancing age, and offer exercises aimed at improving balance, strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness, and which can be performed at home. Advancing smartphone technology provides tools which might help address this important area of public health. Study Aims: To develop a novel digital smartphone app, which enables assessment of fitness components, and provides personalized comprehensive exercise programs which update at regular intervals according to changes in fitness levels. Methodology: A prospective interventional randomized control study involving 360 people aged ≥65 living at home/ sheltered living. Stage 1 will include selecting exercise and fitness tests, developing a smartphone app for self-assessment of these tests, and designing exercise programs to meet specific capabilities. A pilot study (n=60) will validate results from the app compared to standard laboratory tests, before finalizing the study platform, and will create a platform for matching exercise programs to levels of fitness. At Stage 2 - the main study - participants (n=300) will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (personalized updating exercise program via the app), an active control group (receiving World Health Organization (WHO) exercise guidelines), or control group (no intervention). Using the app for assessment, all participants will be tested during stage 2 at T0 (baseline), T1 (6 week) T2 (12 weeks), and during Stage 3 follow-up at T3 (18 weeks) and T4 (24 weeks). Novelty and Applicability: This innovative technology will enable older people to test their fitness level, and receive a personalized exercise program based on their current ability and preferences, which changes over time according to their progress. The program will be presented as photos and short videos, available on their smartphones, or easily transferable to computer or television (TV) screens.
