Filter by:Background: musculoskeletal disorders related to instrumental practice (TMRPI) affect many pianists. Objectives: to know the prevalence of TMRPI in the population of Spanish pianists and its relationship with gender, age, physical activity, number of years playing the piano and the number of hours per week. Design: transversal study based on a survey that included 30 volunteers of both genders, aged between 17 and 65, who played the piano for at least 2 years. Method. due to the absence of specific questionnaires for pianist populations on MMRPI, a questionnaire was conducted combining a validated questionnaire on MMR, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) with an "ad hoc" questionnaire created specifically for this study
This cross-sectional study investigates the physical capacity of patients, who have undergone a periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia within the last 1-5 years.
This study aimed to translate the Affordance in the Home Environment for Motor Development -Toddler (AHEMD-T) into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties.
Environment which children live and grown is very important for the all development stages. In Turkey there is no measurement for home environment evaluation so our aim is to investigate the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish version of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) in a sample of Turkısh children.
This project was intended to observe the handover of trauma and orthopaedic patients at a district general hospital in the UK. Following the implementation of a standard operating protocol, the handover of patient information improved including neck of femur fracture patients significantly. The study can therefore be utilised by other similarly structured departments to improve the handover process, thereby improving patient safety.
This study aims to assess the effect of twin subparaneural injection into individual paraneural sheaths of Common Peroneal Nerve (CPN) and Tibial Nerve (TN) below their point of divergence from the sciatic nerve on the sensory motor blockade after Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block (PSNB) at the popliteal fossa (back of the thigh) for patients requiring lower limb surgeries.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been recognized as an effective, non-pharmacologic treatment for a variety of CP conditions. However, little is known about the neurologic mechanisms underlying ACT. The investigators conducted an ACT intervention in women (n=9) with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected pre- and post-ACT, and changes in functional connectivity (FC) were measured using Network-Based Statistics (NBS). Behavioral outcomes were measured using validated assessments such as the Acceptance & Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the NIH Toolbox Neuro-QoLTM (Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders) scales. Results suggest that, following the four-week ACT intervention, participants exhibited reductions in brain activation within and between key networks including self-reflection (default mode, DMN), emotion (salience, SN), and cognitive control (frontal parietal, FPN). These changes in connectivity strength were correlated with changes in behavioral outcomes including decreased depression and pain interference, and increased participation in social roles. This study is one of the first to demonstrate that improved function across the DMN, SN, and FPN may drive the positive outcomes associated with ACT. This study contributes to the emerging evidence supporting the use of neurophysiological indices to characterize treatment effects of alternative and complementary mind-body therapies.
Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease that causes pain and loss of function. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently used surgical method in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TKA on IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β cytokine levels, pain intensity at rest and walking, knee joint valgity angle,malaligment, functional status and knee joint position sense.
Survey will enquire the physical and psychological conditions in primary school teachers in Upper Austria. All primary teachers of the 553 Upper Austrian elementary schools (approximately 5105 persons) will be interviewed between November 2018 and April 2019. The main outcomes will be Musculoskeletal pains in nine body regions, the physical activity and the psychological stress with the "Work-related Behaviour and Experience Patterns" and big five personality traits.
Musculoskeletal disorders can be a large burden on individuals, health care and social care systems. The aim was to assess the feasibility of performing a prospective study investigating whether self-efficacy, fear of movement, empowerment or enablement has any relation to the number of visits to physiotherapists among patients with a musculoskeletal disorder in primary health care. Design was apProspective study with consecutively selection including patients seeking physiotherapist for the first time for a musculoskeletal disorder. Primary outcome measure included operational and practical feasibility regarding recruitment of participants, use of questionnaires and key variables to be collected as part of the study.
