Filter by:In this study, it will be assessed if there are changes in ankle dorsiflexion and pressure pain after performing the myofascial induction technique in the calf.
The goal of this study is to explore the intervention effect of home-based neurodynamic slider program on hamstring flexibility. Fifty physically active male subjects will be randomly assigned to either performing a neurodynamic sliding technique (3x20 reps) or a static stretching protocol (3x30") on a daily basis for a 6-week period. Hamstring flexibility will be assessed by means of the Straight Leg Raise at baseline, immediately after the intervention and after 4 weeks follow up.
Introduction: To compare the acute effects of different stretching methods on ankle joint range of motion (ROM) in older adults. Methods: A total of 78 subjects aged 65 years and older were randomly divided into three groups. After the 5-minute walk, the randomly assigned method was applied. Static Stretching Group; static stretching in 3x30sec, PNF Stretching Group; PNF contract-relax in 3x30sec and Roller Massage Group; roller massage in 3x30sec was performed. Immediately after the application, 10 minutes and 20 minutes after application, the range of motion of the ankle joint was measured in the weight-bearing lunge position.
Aims:The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Yoga-based exercise program on pain, range of motion(ROM), sleep quality, depression and quality of life in female patients with myofascial pain dysfunction(MPD) of temporomandibular disorders . Methods: MPD will be included in the study. Yoga based exercise program will be performed to the first group as 3 times in a week for 6 weeks. The second group will be the control group. Outcome measurements; pain ,sleep quality, depression and quality of life will be evaluated. Evaluations will be repeated before and 6 weeks after exercise.
The objective of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic soft tissue mobilization in comparison with the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (hold-relax) technique in reducing hamstring muscle tightness, pain and improving physical functions in patients with knee osteoarthritis by using Visual Analog Scale-10 cm, Active Knee Extension Angle Test in degree and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. This study will be carried out at Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi on the basis of non-probability purposive sample technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant physician (blinded) . After taking informed consent all participants will be randomly allocated into 2 groups i.e. 24 in interventional group 'A' and 24 in interventional group 'B' through second researcher who is not involved in screening, baseline assessment and providing intervention.The interventional group 'A' will received dynamic soft tissue mobilization on hamstring muscle along with cryotherapy on knee joint and isometric strengthening exercises for knee osteoarthritis while the interventional group 'B' will received proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (hold relax) technique on hamstring muscle along with cryotherapy on knee joint and isometric strengthening exercises for knee osteoarthritis. Twelve sessions will be given each of 30 minutes.Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at last session.
Interventions including glenohumeral mobilization, sleeper stretches, and thoracic manipulation have been proposed for individuals with loss of shoulder range of motion (ROM). However, the effect of these interventions on shoulder ROM, joint translation, and muscular activity have not been studied in combination.
The prevalence of shoulder joint disease is high in breast cancer patients. The cause of adhesive capsulitis is not clearly identified. However, the following are known as relevant factors that are the restriction of the use of the arm after surgery, inflammation due to autoimmune action, radiation therapy, and adhesion of the surgical site. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effect of intrathecal steroid injection in breast cancer survivors with adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to directly compare the effects of four distinct interventions commonly used in the treatment of shoulder pathology on shoulder range of motion (ROM) and strength in asymptomatic shoulders: - grade III oscillatory anterior-posterior glenohumeral joint mobilizations - an internal rotation (IR) "sleeper" stretch - supine upper-thoracic manipulation - cervical spine manipulation
Neck pain (NP) is a major public health problem with high prevalence, high cost of health expenditure and loss of productivity.The incidence of NP is increasing among adults and it has been reported to occur in 12-34% of the total population. Exercise programs applied to individuals with NP include craniocervical flexion exercises that focus on the increase in activation of deep cervical flexor muscles and a decrease in the activation of superficial cervical flexors. Falla et al. noted that people with NP also have reduced ability to relax sternocleidomastoideus (SCM) muscle. Although there are many studies indicating that the activation of the SCM muscle should be reduced by activating deep cervical flexors when the literature on NP is examined, there are no studies examining the effect of the inhibition of the SCM muscle.
The purpose of this research study is to study the method of acupuncture called one needle hand acupuncture, where a needle is placed just in your hand, in order to treat pain in various locations. Benefits of acupuncture will be studied over time to determine short and long term effects of acupuncture, and see how acupuncture may alter or modify a patient's disease process.
