Filter by:The sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) which has a widely heterogeneous etiology, may cause impairment of stability, mobility, posture and flexibility as well as pain due to adaptive or pathological biomechanical changes. In 2020, the number of patients with low back pain (LBP) worldwide was more than half a billion and is expected to exceed 800 million by 2050. Although SIJD has been shown to be related with LBP in more than 30% of patients with LBP, SIJD is still often overlooked as a cause of LBP. Once the diagnosis of SIJD is confirmed by physical examination, the first treatment option consists of the use of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or physiotherapy approaches. The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a neurophysiological model-based multifaceted exercise method which is widely used in rehabilitation practice. However, despite the major role of SIJD among the causes of LBP, there are limited studies investigating the efficacy of PNF in SIJD and its effectiveness remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic PNF techniques on pain, mobility, flexibility, lumbar range of motion, posture, and trunk muscle endurance in patients with SIJD.
This randomised controlled study was conducted to investigate the comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises on individuals with hemophilic arthropathy in the lower extremity. There are two groups in the study: home exercises and comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises. Is physiotherapy combined with home exercises superior to home exercises on joint health, bleeding frequency, reaction time, dynamic balance, muscle strength? The aim of this study is to increase the compliance of hemophilic individuals to physiotherapy and adapt home exercises to their lives with weekly sessions.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 72 participants who had moderate knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence grade 2-3). The patients were randomly assigned to either the robotic-assisted or gyroscopic-assisted group. Baseline characteristics, including age, body mass index, length of stay, and estimated blood loss, were recorded. The primary outcome measure was the accuracy of the hip knee angle, measured by scannogram film preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included functional outcomes (KOOS, Oxford knee score, EQ-5D-5L, range of motion) assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months, as well as at 6 months postoperatively.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 18-month Baduanjin exercise on shoulder joint function in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 60 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of Gold Fish exercises and cervico-thoracic postural correction training in patients with temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction to improve pain, ROM and maximum mouth opening of jaw.
Evaluation of sacroiliac joint dysfunction in young women with primary dysmenorrhoea using joint provocation and mobility tests and spinal mobility using Spinal Mouse and investigation of the relationship between primary dysmenorrhoea, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and spinal mobility.
Objective: To investigate the effects of core stability exercises (CSE) added to the standard exercises (SE) on patient-reported (PR) and performance-based (PB) outcomes in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) followed with telerehabilitation (TR). Methods: The 42 patients who participated in the study were randomly divided into 2 groups [group 1: SE (n= 21), group 2: SE + CSE (n= 21)]. The first 8 weeks of the post-discharge follow-up were performed by videoconference-based TR under the supervision of a physiotherapist and the last 4 weeks by telephone-based TR. Functional level was assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), pain intensity by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), affected knee range of motion (ROM) by Copenhagen Knee Range of Motion Scale (CKRS), quality of life by Short Form-12 (SF-12) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), lower extremity muscle strength by 30-seconds Chair-Stand Test and locomotor performance by Stair Climb Test. Assessments were performed with TR preoperatively and at the first, second and third post-op months.
Cervical spine problems are associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related muscles.The aim of the present study was to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and pain in individuals with cervical disc herniation (CDH) according to the level of neck disability.
the investigators study aimed to evaluate temporomandibular joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy individuals 142 participants were recruited in two groups: 72 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and 70 healthy controls. All participants were tested for seropositivity of rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies. TMD diagnosis was determined according to the standardized and validated diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD): myalgia, arthralgia, articular disc, displacement, degenerative joint disease, and headache attributed to TMD. Bruxism, a probable sleep and/or awake bruxism diagnosis was determined based on self-report and several clinical findings.
The study aims to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effectiveness of arthrocentesis and injection of I-PRF with wearing ARS in comparison to arthrocentesis and ARS only.
