Filter by:In the postoperative period of a total knee arthroplasty, subjects present limitations of articular amplitudes, swelling, pain and functional limitations. Functional rehabilitation is unanimously recommended, including the use of cryotherapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the methods of application of cryotherapy. Thus the objective of the study is to compare 2 cryotherapy techniques associated with a classic rehabilitation on the improvement of mobility, swelling, pain and functional parameters. The 2 cryotherapies were a compressive cryotherapy and a so-called classic cryotherapy by cold pack.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.
To examine the effects of temporomandibular joint mobilization and exercises added to the conventional physiotherapy program on posture, functionality and muscular endurance in individuals with chronic neck pain.
The study's objective is to evaluate the efficacy of implemented Virtual Reality therapy for patients who have undergone lower limb arthroplasty and are in inpatient rehabilitation. The study aim to examine its influence on reducing anxiety levels, mitigating depressive symptoms, enhancing motivation for elderly patients to participate in physiotherapy, and improving their overall functional state and fall risk.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with arthropathy. Arthropathy may require periarticular corticosteroid injection therapy. This observational study examines efficacy, and safety of steroid injections in SCD patients. Data collection includes patient's gender, age, race, smoking history, alcohol intake, analgesic use, pain score, sleep quality, limb joint injections, post-injection analgesia, and post-injection complication. Pain is measured using numeric pain scale. Sleep quality is measured using Likert scale.
The goal of this Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial is to investigate the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on postural stability, muscle strength, muscular endurance, mandibular functions and proprioception in sedentary individuals aged 18-45 years with head forward posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Malalignment). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment? Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.
This is a randomized controlled, multicenter study. According to the inclusion criteria, volunteers were recruited from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. After signing the informed consent, the subjects were assigned to the experimental group and the control group through the central randomization system. The researchers will complete the total hip arthroplasty for patients in the experimental group with the assistance of surgical robotic system. The patients in the control group do not use the surgical robotic system. The proportion of acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle in the lewinnek safe area is the primary outcome measurement. The operation time, WOMAC score, Harris score, SF-36 and dislocation rate are the secondary outcome measurements. The incidence of complications, devices and other adverse events were recorded.
This study was designed to assess the effect of an 8-week plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy (Plyo-HKT) on pain, muscle strength, postural control, and functional performance in a convenience sample of children with hemophilic knee arthropathy (HKA). Forty-eight patients with HKA were randomly allocated to the Plyo-HKT group (n = 24, received the plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy program, twice/week, over 8 weeks) or the control group (n = 24, received standard exercise program). Both groups were assessed for pain, muscle strength, postural control, and functional performance pre and post-treatment.
The purpose of this study was to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
Background: Optimal pain control with limited muscle weakness is paramount for a swift initiation of physical therapy and ambulation. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been recommended since it offers the best pain control with low risk of motor block. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block has been proposed as an effective alternative to FICB that offers similar pain control with a considerably lower risk of motor block. This study aimed to compare the afore mentioned blocks and determine which one yielded the lowest NRS score.
