Filter by:Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.
The aim is to describe the severity of pain in postpartum female and management of sacroiliac joint pain and disability and define the effects of manual therapy on sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are common problems in the society and involve the masticator muscles, jaw joint and related structures. Since TMJ disorders affect functions such as eating and speaking, they can cause important problems in the daily life of the patient. Therefore, its diagnosis and treatment are of great importance. In the treatment of these patients, methods such as analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, splint, exercise, physical therapy modalities can be applied.
Interventions including glenohumeral mobilization, sleeper stretches, and thoracic manipulation have been proposed for individuals with loss of shoulder range of motion (ROM). However, the effect of these interventions on shoulder ROM, joint translation, and muscular activity have not been studied in combination.
Pharmacists may also logistically serve as ideal health-care destinations to implement and deliver prevention, early intervention, and referral of oral health services to reduce the incidence of potentially preventable oral conditions including tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Interprofessional teamwork between pharmacist and dentistry may help to encourage pharmacists to take a more active role in promoting oral health. By providing information and assistance for self-care and the use of over the counter (OTC) products for minor problems on oral health, it can provide better patient care in the Malaysian health-care system
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective surgical procedure for reducing knee joint pain and improving the quality of life of patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. Although advanced surgical techniques and prosthesis design are achieved, postoperative pain is a significant factor that affects those patients who have undergone TKA with a satisfactory outcome. The reasons for postoperative pain after TKA are somewhat unclear Although there are studies evaluating the preoperative and postoperative conditions of the patients using pain scores, these values differ greatly in patients who are suitable for the same procedure. Previous studies have demonstrated that variability exists between individuals in basal pain sensitivity, which is assessed using quantitative sensory testing To our knowledge, only one study has investigated the pain condition using an algometer and postoperative pain and the analgesic requirement on the day of surgery and during the postoperative period.Unlike the above-cited study, in this study, we evaluated the effect of using a tourniquet on early-stage pain and 1-year postoperative functional outcomes when patients were divided into two groups according to the pain threshold.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of physiotherapy program and review the associations between neck movements, pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements and quality of life in individuals with migraine.
Examine the effect of strain-counter strain (SCS) versus muscle energy technique (MET) on pain pressure threshold (PPT), functional disability, and the innominate angle tilt with SIJ dysfunction.
Total hip replacement surgery is one of the most common orthopedic interventions. Proper anaesthesia and adequate analgesia is one of the key interests of attending anaesthetist. Recent studies show that ultrasound guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block may play a significant role in proper management of pain after these procedures. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical usefulness and compare different methods of anaesthesia for total hip replacement surgery via posterolateral approach.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 'The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for Temporomandibular Disorders (TSK-TMD)' questionnaire used to assess kinesiophobia in temporomandibular joint disorders. Method: The "Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale in Temporomandibular Disorders" (TSK-TMD), which consists of 12 item, was adapted to Turkish with the translation and back-translation method. 111 patients (75 females, 36 males) who had been diagnosed with temporomandibular joint for at least 6 months and diagnosed as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder were participated to fill out the questionnaire. In the present study, participants were assessed with the Temporomandibular joint disorders evaluation form, Turkish TSK-TMD-12 item, Visuel Analogue Scale (VAS) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). The internal consistency and test-retest reliability with a 3-5 days time were used to evaluate the reliability of the TSK-TMD. The reliability of the corelatıon was checked with PCS. Construct validity was assessed based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
