Filter by:Chronic neck pain is a common problem among the general population. Patients with chronic neck pain used health care services twice as much as the population on average, mainly due to intense pain intensity. It is well-known that pain intensity depends on the association of pain processing in several levels of central pain processing. Identifying the association between conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation, and somatosensory representation, all represent separate central pain processing, will provide an opportunity to develop treatment strategies.
Introduction: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is based on the emission of light ranging from red to near-infrared spectra by different devices based on diode lasers or light-emitting diodes. These devices emitting different wavelengths can increase mitochondrial activity and energy synthesis (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) that in turn can help to prevent muscle damage, decrease muscle fatigue and enhance muscle performance. Thus, PBMT can be a promising therapeutic resource in the sports field. Objectives: The aim of this study is to verify the effect of PBMT on the muscle performance and prevention of muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in professional soccer players submitted to a muscle damage protocol. Methodology: The present study is a randomized sham-controlled clinical trial following the SPIRIT guidelines.
This study will focus on the relationship between pillow and mattress factors, musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality in office workers. Sleep is vital to physical and mental health, and poor sleep can negatively affect cognitive function and workplace performance. Office workers, who often work in sedentary jobs, are particularly prone to sleep disorders. Recognizing the factors that contribute to poor sleep in this population is crucial for developing interventions to improve sleep quality. The study used a cross-sectional design and will collect data from an appropriate sample of office workers (Approximately 600 participants). Various variables will be assessed, including sociodemographic characteristics, sleep-related factors (to be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pillow characteristics, mattress-related factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, and physical activity levels (to be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis will be performed to analyze the data and identify factors affecting sleep quality. Fixed fixes for potential confounders and modifiers. The study aims to identify specific components of the sleep environment related to sleep disorders. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of how pillow and mattress factors, along with other variables, affect sleep quality in office workers. The results may provide information for interventions aimed at improving sleep habits, optimizing the sleep environment, and improving overall well-being in this population. As a result, promoting good sleep health among office workers can have positive effects on productivity, safety and overall quality of life.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of two different telerehabilitation assessment methods in patients with chronic low back pain. The control group will receive a video exercise-based rehabilitation protocol with telerehabilitation. The intervention group will be followed up with the same protocol plus symptom monitoring software called PhysioAnalyst which provides visual feedback. The evaluation of outcome measures will be performed on the control group through the PhysioAnalist programme without visual feedback and on the intervention group through the PhysioAnalist programme with visual feedback.
The overall aim of this study is to investigate how work with physical demands affects the physical capacity, work ability, labor market affiliation, pain and self-reported health in the oldest group of workers. Following research questions are to be answered: 1. How high physical work demands affects muscle strength in 55-70-year-old workers and how obesity in combination with high physical work exposure influences muscle strength, work ability, cardiac function, and self-reported health? 2. Which parameters are important for work ability and how does the exposure of high physical workload affect the work ability over time in 55-70-year-old workers? 3. By exploring the underlying mechanism of pain among 55+ year old workers, how is pain associated with work ability, BMI and physical capacity?
Purpose of the study:To investigate effect of whole-body stretching (WBS) exercise during lunch-break for reducing musculoskeletal pain and physical exertion among healthcare professionals
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular exercising on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals. Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.
An e-survey study will be carried out based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES)". The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and behaviour of Greek physiotherapists regarding the pain neuroscience education program (PNE) as an intervention in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.K. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
The purpose of current research study is to assess physiotherapists's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes about empathy, motivational interviewing and shared decision making in chronic musculoskeletal patients. An e-survey study will be conducted based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES)
