Filter by:Work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (WRUEMSDs) have shown to be related to many occupational situations and specific industries. However, there is conflicting information about monotonous and repetitive activities. In this context, the profession of surgical device mechanics has not been analyzed so far. The objective of this study is to examine surgical device mechanics at different workplaces with varying work contents and to compare them with a control group without the repetitive workload exposition as described above. The headquarters and main production site of Aesculap are located in Tuttlingen/Germany. Aesculap is the world leading manufacturer of surgical devices. After statistical power analysis, the investigators plan to randomize and include a total of 90 voluntary test persons in 3 groups (30 persons each). The study will include standardized questionnaires and a physical examination as well as an industry test (Purdue Pegboard Test). Primary and secondary endpoints were defined to show if significant difference between surgical device mechanics and a control group is present.
The purpose of the Registry study is to observe the improvement in subject-reported clinical outcomes for percutaneous orthopedic procedures for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a rehabilitation program including a physician specialized in social medicine parallel to treatment for suspected spinal disc herniation.
Pilot study to assess the feasibility and initial efficacy of therapist-as-consultant, game-based CI therapy. Pre/post study design. Participant received a target of 30 hours game-based motor intervention, 100 hours constraint of the less affected upper extremity, and 5 hours therapist consultation (including completion of a behavioral contract at the first study visit). Duration of intervention was 10 consecutive weekdays, with pre-treatment and post-treatment testing performed within 1 week prior to and 1 week post-intervention by an independent tester.
To explore the experiences of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) who have participated in return-to-work group programmes (RTW-GPs) and see how the programmes could strengthen their work ability.
Pain pressure measurements, fine wire EMG and real time imaging ultrasound will be used to determine the relationships between motion, pain perception, and mobility in the glenohumeral joint. Muscle activity, joint motion, and pain will be measured pre-post randomized interventions to determine the response to various physical therapy techniques.
The current study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the device in the common areas of the body affected by different causes of musculoskeletal pain in Vietnamese population in real life situation.
The orthotics are auxiliary therapeutic resources indicated for the relief of pain, improves functional standard or correction of deformities. There is a lack of studies that analyze the biomechanical changes promoted by the Orthotics in functional pattern of the upper limb. The objective of this proposal is to analyse biomechanical changes in the functional upper limb pattern with the use of orthoses for patients with dysfunctions arising from musculoskeletal system trauma or burns, aiming to contribute with scientific evidence to clinical practice. The project will analyze the changes in the pattern of the upper limb functional through the use of dynamic and static Orthotics by means of kinematic and electromyographic analysis while conducting a functional task. These comparisons will be carried out with and without the use of functional Orthotics, and the controls are the patients themselves. Methods: 25 patients will be included over 18 years with malfunctions resulting from orthopaedic trauma and Burns of the upper limb with indication and Orthotics for improving functional pattern. For characterization of the sample will be performed: esthesiometric , hand and the (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) DASH Questionnaire. Biomechanical assessment will be used for the analysis and electromyographic kinematics. For statistical analysis will be applied the method of analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures, and when necessary, the post hoc Bonferroni test. Will be adopted as significance level p ≤ 0.05.
[Purpose] To investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among healthy students of Ahlia University and to determine the relationship between the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and academic stressors and body mass index. [Subjects and Methods]: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 94 students aged 18-26 years who were enrolled at various Ahlia University colleges and met other inclusion criteria. The students responded to the standardized Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and the modified College Student Stress Inventory regarding musculoskeletal symptoms and academic stressors. Height and weight measurements were also obtained to determine body mass index. Keywords: Body mass index, Academic stress, Musculoskeletal disorders
The study schedule consists of a Screening Period (up to 14 days), a blinded 4- week Titration-to-Effect Period with weekly visits, a blinded 4-week Maintenance Treatment Period at the optimal dose level determined for each patient, and a 1-week Follow-up Period. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either CR845 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. Every patient will be started on a 1-mg dose of CR845 or matching placebo. During the post-randomization Titration-to-Effect period, the dose of study drug may be increased to 2.5 mg or 5 mg in a double-blind fashion. Patients may know their dose is being changed but will not know whether they were randomization to active study drug or placebo. Approximately 330 patients will be enrolled in this study.
