Filter by:This study aims to shed light on the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, which play a significant role in rotator sheath tendinopathy and tears. It includes isometric measurements of muscle thickness, fiber length, and pennation angles, as well as muscle strength, using ultrasound to evaluate the muscle architecture of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles in tennis players.
The muscular response on the main muscles of the propulsive phase of the upper limb in crawl has been evaluated by tensiomyography (TMG), which was carried out through three parameters: activation time (Td), contraction time (Tc) and maximum deformation (Dm). The objective of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis of changes produced between lactic resistance training with passive rest and lactic resistance training with active rest. For this, thirty swimmers participated, with an average age of 20 years.
A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
The goal of the RESTART RCT is to examine whether a complex lifestyle intervention, coordinated with municipal and non-government organizations (NGO), can establish and preserve improvements in risk factors and functional capacity among older adults at high risk of cardiometabolic disease. The main objectives to investigate are whether a complex lifestyle intervention, compared to an active control group, will at 24 months have: 1. Produced a clinically relevant increase in cardiorespiratory fitness (primary endpoint) 2. Increased muscle strength, physical activity and reduced adiposity 3. Improved body composition, health-related quality of life and cognitive function All participants (Control and Intervention Groups) are provided with wrist-worn activity trackers at baseline and access to national recommendations on physical activity. The intervention group additionally advances through a comprehensive lifestyle program including high-intensity aerobic and strength exercise, dietary and behavioral counselling. Intervention participants are gradually transitioned into exercise activities organized by Tromsø Municipaity and local NGO:s. Testing of outcomes are performed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Primary endpoint (VO2max) is assessed at 24 months.
To establish a relationship between malnutrion and respiratory muscle dysfunction in patients with bronchectasis
Scapular dyskinesis (SD) is common in overhead athletes and negatively influence the athletes' performance, increasing the risk of shoulder injury. The kinetic chain (KC) exercises for SD rehabilitation that emphasize importance of core strength and scapula stability during skillful performance. Ai Chi, the aquatic exercises performed in functional positions, which are adequate for power transfer of KC. This study will investigate the effect of KC-based water exercises, Ai Chi, on scapular muscles in overhead athletes with SD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of study participants with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) to successfully self-administer rozanolixizumab after training in the self-administration technique using the syringe driver and manual push methods.
It is essential to provide the community with evidenced-based care to optimize healthcare outcomes; more specifically, women in underserved communities undergoing health disparities in rehabilitation. To address this issue, a movement-based pelvic health education course was developed to assess women's knowledge and adherence of the exercises in an underserved region in Western Arkansas.The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a single movement-based pelvic health education session on general pelvic health knowledge, underactive pelvic floor, and overactive pelvic floor knowledge and adherence to performing pelvic exercises in women.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of switching from intravenous (IV) complement component 5 (C5) inhibitors to subcutaneous (SC) Zilucoplan in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)
The purpose of this open-label study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a continuous regimen of efgartigimod compared with a cyclic regimen in participants with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). Study details include: The study duration will be up to 138 weeks (including screening and a safety follow-up of up to 9 weeks) - Part A (regimen comparison period) - 21 weeks - Part B (extension period) - up to 105 weeks The visit frequency, including virtual visits, will be weekly through Week 21 and every 5 weeks for the remainder of the study.
