Filter by:The prevalence of walking disorders in the elderly is high. These can lead to falls which represent a major public health issue in terms of hospitalization, morbidity and cost. Numerous studies analyzing the link between spatio-temporal parameters of gait and fall have already been carried out, but most have been carried out in a population of elderly patients living at home and having no or few comorbidities. Very few studies have been carried out in a population of frail elderly people, with multiple comorbidities or multiple medication, which is the case with most patients hospitalized in acute geriatrics. The objective of the study is to evaluate the spatio-temporal parameters of walking using the GAITRite® mat in patients hospitalized in acute geriatrics and to compare them between a population of falling patients and a population of patients. no faller.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of On the Move (OTM) in terms of improving mobility among 502 older adults in 44 senior community centers and to evaluate intervention fidelity, including adherence and competence, and the impact of organizational, instructor, and participant level factors on intervention fidelity.
An experimental study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of dry needling on the M. Obliquus capitis inferior on rotational mobility and headache realted outcome measures in patients with cervicogenic headache.
Physical mobility and social participation are needed to maintain independence and quality of life for adults over 55 years of age. Despite the known benefits of physical activity and dietary change programs for older adults, the best ways to deliver these interventions are not well understood. The goal of the EMBOLDEN study is to promote physical and community mobility in older adults who experience difficulties taking up community programs and reside in areas of high health inequity. Building on existing best practices, the investigators will implement and evaluate an innovative co-designed community-based program to promote physical activity, healthy eating, social participation, and system navigation. The potential for spreading this program throughout Hamilton and adapted to other Canadian communities will also be explored
The purpose of this study is to examine the reflex excitability of the rectus femoris in individuals with and without post-stroke Stiff-Knee gait. We use electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve innervating the rectus femoris for a well-controlled reflex stimulus. We are investigating whether reflex excitability of the rectus femoris correlates with gait kinematics.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for recovery of dorsiflexion after stroke. It will be led from the University Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Danderyd Hospital (RMDS) in collaboration with the MoveAbility Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Patients referred to RMDS for inpatient rehabilitation early after hemiparetic stroke will be included. The overall aim is to explore how 4 weeks of training incorporating the FES-system (L300 Go System ® Bioness, Ottobock) effect function of the lower extremity, gait function and mobility when compared to conventional training only, in the subacute stage after stroke.
Difficulty walking is common after a stroke. Although physical rehabilitation helps a little with the improvement of walking ability, recovery is usually incomplete. The purpose of this study is to explore how two different treadmill training approaches influence walking speed, symmetry, and balance in people with chronic severe stroke-related walking impairment. The two approaches involve either forward or backwards treadmill training. This study will look at changes in walking performance and balance, before and after training. This study may lead to more efficient methods for improving walking performance and balance after stroke.
The participants are asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study. The participants are SJLIFE study participants and may have a hard time exercising (exercise intolerance) due to side effects of cancer treatment received as a child.This study is being done to determine if a personalized exercise plan will help childhood cancer survivors who have exercise intolerance become more active. Primary Objectives: To achieve the goal of this study, we propose the following three Objectives: Primary Objective 1: To determine the efficacy of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention to improve exercise capacity in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance (peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) <85% of age and sex predicted). Primary Objective 2: To determine the effects of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention on measures of cardiac, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurosensory function in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance. Primary Objective 3: To determine the effects of an individually tailored, home-delivered aerobic and strengthening intervention on emotional health, participation in family and community activities, quality of life, and cognitive function in survivors of childhood cancer with exercise intolerance.
This is a multi-site, randomized, single-blind (researchers), active treatment concurrent control trial with individuals aged 50-80 living with HIV who experience fatigue and live a sedentary lifestyle. The overall goals of this proposal are to determine whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can overcome physical function impairments and increased fatigue (Aim 1) and impairments in mitochondrial bioenergetics of older people with HIV (PWH) to a greater extent than continuous moderate-intensity exercise (CME) (Aim 2). The investigators further seek to determine whether a biobehavioral coaching intervention following either HIIT or CME can promote long-term adherence to physical activity (Aim 3), a crucial component of the sustainability of the intervention. This study will enroll 100 participants in Aurora, Colorado and Seattle, Washington. Data collection will occur at each visit, with baseline data collected at the initial visit. A 3-month follow-up will be conducted over the phone from the date of the final visit. The initial enrollment goal of 100 was increased to 120 in 2023 to facilitate a larger number of participants with key secondary outcomes.
Physical activity has beneficial effects on the quality of walking for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, regular physical activity is still limited in most patients' daily lives. The rhythm of music makes you want to move whether you are sick or not. In addition, it has been found that in people with PD, it can also improve walking by helping the participant to regain the regularity of alternating steps and a better walking dynamic (i.e. better position, better arm swinging, etc.). Studies have shown that music allows persons with PD to walk faster, with bigger steps. However, if the tempo of the music does not correspond to the participant's walking pace, instead of helping him, it can disturb him. So it seems necessary for music to help people with PD to walk better if the tempo of the music is set to match their steps. BeatPark is a smartphone application which makes it possible to synchronize the tempo of the music with the participant's walking rhythm detected thanks to feet insoles. Once synchronized to the participant's walking pace, BeatPark imperceptibly accelerates the tempo of the music to help the participant's acceleration. This clinical trial proposes to study the effects of walking rehabilitation depending on the use of music synchronized to the participant's step with BeatPark, music with random tempo or without music.
