Filter by:The aim of the following study was to investigate the existence of a statistically significant correlation between the incisal features (incisal guidance angle, interincisal angle, overbite, overjet), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology and its function. The hypothesis was: I. The protrusive movement of the mandible does correlate with the TMJ anatomy. II. The protrusive movement of the mandible does not correlate with the incisal features. III. The position and relationship of upper and lower permanent incisors do not have a direct and significant effect on the TMJ morphology in young adults.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect and tolerance of standardized exclusive dry extracts of Curcuma longa (CURTIL03) and of Boswellia serrata (BOSTIL01) among people with hand joint discomfort and dysfunction. The study is prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled with 2 parallel-groups in 200 participants. The study is multicentric and will be done by 11 investigators located in Belgium including rheumatologists, sports and rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, or any hand articular disease specialists.
Introduction: Hemophilic ankle arthropathy is manifested by degenerative functional alterations (deficit of muscle strength, mobility and proprioception), intra-articular alterations and chronic pain. Manual therapy techniques are used to treat soft tissue adhesions, relieve pain and reduce tissue sensitivity. Design. randomized pilot trial. Aimed: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a protocol by manual therapy techniques in patients with hemophilic ankle arthropathy. Patients: 24 patients with ankle arthropathy will be recruited for inclusion in the study. Patients will be recruited in seven centers, from different regions of Spain. Intervention: Each session will last approximately 50-60 minutes, with 1 physiotherapy session per week for a period of 3 weeks. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, after the intervention, and after a follow-up period of 3 weeks. The treatment program includes 10 exercises that must be administered bilaterally. Measuring instruments and study variables: Visual Analog Scale and pressure algometer (joint pain); Leg motion (ankle range of motion); and Haemophilia Joint Health Score (joint health). At the same time, the study will allow to determine joint bleeding caused by applied physiotherapy treatment. Expected results: To demonstrate the safety of this Physiotherapy technique in patients with hemophilia. Likewise, an improvement in ankle pain, joint motion, joint health and pressure pain threshold.
There is growing evidence on the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain and disability secondary to various disorders. However, very few studies have explored their effects in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a broad clinical picture involving the TMJ and its disc, masticatory musculature, ligament tissue, and autonomic nervous system (ANS). TMD symptoms include decrease or excessive increase in joint range of motion (ROM), clicking sound or crepitation in the joint, pain around the joint or muscle group, chewing and swallowing problems. Pain caused by MPS, trigger point, fatigue, limitation of ROM, and ANS dysfunction cause TMD. With the inclusion of habits such as clenching and bruxism, pain, spasm and disability develop in the chewing muscles. Exposure to repeated trauma and excessive use of chewing muscles may cause the formation of tight bands and trigger points, which are characterized by MPS. When the relationship between TMD and ANS was examined, it was observed that increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic activity were effective in the severity of TMD symptoms. Auricular vagus nerve stimulation is a peripheral, non-pharmacological and non-invasive neuromodulation technique that modifies signal processing in the CNS, activates reflex circuits, exploits brain plasticity for different therapeutic purposes, thereby affecting very different areas of the brain. Non-invasive or transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation delivery systems provide stimulation in the auricular branch of the vagus nerve in the outer ear, thus eliminating the need for surgical implantation. The aim of our study is to reveal the extent to which Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation, applied in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program, affects the results of the treatment by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system in patients with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction caused by Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of Muscle Energy Techniques and Myofascial Release on Lumbar Range of motion, pain and disability in patients of low back pain due to Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Randomized controlled trials were done at a private clinic, The Health Professionals Bahria Town Phase 6, Islamabad. The Sample Size was 30. The subjects were divided into two groups, 15 subjects in Interventional group A receiving conventional physical therapy treatment alongside METs for hamstrings, iliopsoas and piriformis muscle while the other 15 subjects in Interventional group B receiving conventional physical therapy treatment with direct myofascial release of hamstrings, iliopsoas and piriformis muscle. study duration was of 6 months. Samling technique applied was non.probability sampling. Only females of age group 40-55 yrs having sacroiliac joint pain with limited lumbar range of motion were reduced. Tools used in the study were Numeric Pain Rating Scale(NPRS), Modified Oswestry Disability Index(MODI), Pelvic and bubble Inclinometer. Data was analyzed through SPSS 21.
The incidence of indications for hip and knee arthroplasty is constantly increasing due to an increase in arthrogenic risk factors and life expectancy. In younger patients, with a higher functional demand, resumption of physical activity and sport is a major objective after resumption of walking and pain management. The repercussions of returning to sports after arthroplasty have been widely studied in the literature. Few studies have looked specifically at high-impact activities, the possibility of resuming sport and its consequences. The recommendations are essentially based on expert opinion.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether custom-made foot orthoses generate a significant decrease in the perception of pain among individuals with foot pain and/or ankle pain.
Introduction: Hemophilic ankle arthropathy is manifested by functional degenerative alterations (muscle strength deficit, mobility and proprioception), intra-articular and chronic pain. Design: Case-control study. Objective: To observe the differences between patients with hemophilic ankle arthropathy and their healthy peers, regarding dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion strength, biomechanical analysis of gait and balance, and functionality. Patients: 10 patients with hemophilic ankle arthropathy and 12 healthy subjects without ankle joint damage. Measurement instruments and study variables: dorsiflexion (range of motion), dorsiflexion strength (dynamometry), biomechanical analysis of gait and balance (RS SCAN® model platform), and functionality (2 Minute Walk Test). Expected results: Analyze the main differences and their relationship based on the clinical and independent variables of patients with hemophilia, compared to their healthy peers.
Oral surgeries include various types such as impacted wisdom tooth surgery, oral cyst enucleation (cystectomy), surgical incision and drainage of odontogenic abcess, oral tumor excision and open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fracture (ORIF). Oral surgeries are usually associated with pain, swelling and inability to open the mouth. Those symptoms reach the maximum intensity between the third to fifth days postoperatively for the swelling and 24 to 48 hours postoperatively for the pain and then, they gradually diminished until the 7th day postoperatively
