Filter by:Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) has been identified as a useful tool to increase peripheral blood flow. The present study aimed at how dynamic exercises with WBVT immediate effect on hemodynamic response and fatigue parameters in patients with obesity.
This study is expected to demonstrate that during experimental days of seated computer work sustained and focalized low-level muscle activity contributes to the development of long-lasting fatigue effects (and thus possible disorder). On days with and without frequent interruptions, signs of fatigue and the activity pattern of the trapeze muscle are registered and compared using electromyographic registrations of the trapezius muscle.
The Overall Aim of the present proposal is to evaluate the feasibility of an integrated mind-body intervention, Activate for Life, to improve overall physical activity and mental health and reduce pain and fatigue, resulting in increased likelihood of Aging in Place. Both subjective self-report (i.e., Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PROMIS measures of pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety) and objective accelerometer data will be collected, along with standardized measures of balance, strength, and stability. In addition, the measures will be complemented with biomarker-based measures of stress, including cortisol based and 1,5-AG anhydroglucitol assays before, during, and after treatment that are correlated with stress, and fatigue symptoms.
The purpose of the study is to learn about the impact of exercise on fatigue, anxiety, and depression in Parkinson's disease. It is well established that exercise improves the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, it is not clear which types of exercise are most beneficial for specific non-motor symptoms.
Fatigue is a common and problematic symptom of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The investigators have developed a new program, called the Personal Energy Planning (PEP) program, that teaches people with ESRD to manage fatigue by using energy conservation strategies during everyday life (eg. organization, prioritization, using good body postures and assistive tools). A large study is needed to test whether the program is helpful for people with ESRD. First, the investigators need to do a smaller-scale pilot study to help plan the large study. The main purposes of this pilot study are to see how many people with ESRD are willing and able to complete the PEP program, and to explore whether the program helps people feel less fatigued. The investigators plan to invite 40 people with ESRD from 4 dialysis units in Calgary, Alberta to participate. People with ESRD who report feeling unusually tired a lot of the time (using a symptom assessment tool completed every 2 months) will be asked to take part. Study participants will either do the PEP program, or another program (the control) that gives them general information about kidney disease. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires about fatigue before and after the study. The investigators will compare fatigue scores between the PEP program group and the control group, and record how many agree to take part in the study and complete all study activities. This pilot study will help the investigators plan next steps for research into the PEP program.
This study compares the effectiveness of a 6-week Energy Conservation + Problem Solving Therapy Intervention to Health Education Intervention for reducing the fatigue impact and fatigue level and improving the level of participation in instrumental, leisure, and social activities in people with heart failure associated fatigue. Half of the participants received Energy Conservation + Problem Solving Therapy Intervention, and the other half received Health Education Intervention.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has recently been used to alleviate postexercise muscle fatigue and enhance muscle recovery, demonstrating positive results. A previous study by the investigator's research group demonstrated the optimal dose and the optimal output power (100 mW) for an infrared wavelength (810 nm). However, the effects of optimized PBMT on performance and post-exercise recovery in high-level soccer players, to date have not been evaluated. The present research project aims to evaluate the effects of PBMT (using low-level laser therapy) applied before a progressive running test on functional, muscle damage, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in high-level soccer players.
The purpose of this protocol is to investigate the role of expired non-metabolic carbon dioxide in the relationship between fatigability and recovery and the response to aerobic exercise training in healthy individuals. Both fatigability and recovery are profoundly influenced by mitochondrial energetics which can be inhibited by ionic by-product accumulation during exercise. Buffering mechanisms of these fatigue-inducing ions releases non-metabolic carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be measured as expired CO2 (VCO2) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), however the role of non-metabolic VCO2 in the relationship between fatigability and recovery has yet to be investigated. Furthermore, this study aims to identify the how the patterns of proteins in healthy individuals respond to aerobic exercise training (e.g. stationary cycling) over approximately one month. The underlying mechanisms of recovery after physical activity, including mechanisms or biological pathways that could be highlighted by analysis of proteins in urine, could add to scientific knowledge regarding physical activity tolerance and potential exercise interventions. This knowledge could eventually assist with designing precise and personalized exercise interventions to improve physical activity performance. The investigators hypothesize that 1) non-metabolic CO2 will be at least moderately associated with the inverse relationship between fatigability and recovery; and 2) highly active adults, compared to sedentary individuals, will exhibit differential proteomic patterns in response to an initial acute bout and subsequent repeated bouts of aerobic exercise.
Body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) is an important rehabilitative choice for neurologically impaired subjects such as Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different percentages BWSTT on gait, balance, quality of life and fatigue in moderate to advanced PD.
The objective of this post-market, clinical follow up (PMCF) study, is to confirm the long-term safety of the Tendril STS and Isoflex leads, implanted with the Assurity MRI™ or Endurity MRI™ pacemakers, in patients undergoing a clinically indicated 3T MRI (3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan.
