Filter by:The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to assess the feasibility of using the Playstation Xbox 360 and Rutgers V-step via a Kinect Sensor with active video game software as a part of a physical therapy intervention to improve obstacle negotiation, gait speed, and stair negotiation in ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) hemiparesis or spastic diplegia, or non-progressive brain injury (BI). Children will be assessed using perceptual, balance, functional and gait assessments.
The purpose of this study is verify the efficacy and safety of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) therapy for patients with Healing Poor after Uterus Injury, and exploring the possible mechanisms of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell therapy in Healing Poor After Uterus Injury disease
Aim 1: Determine the neurophysiologic impact of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) within a single session. The investigators hypothesize that subjects will demonstrate increased volitional muscle activity and strength with TSCS. This will be assessed by surface EMG and hand-held dynamometry of the dominant-side quadriceps muscle during maximum volitional contraction (MVC) and measurement of gait speed. Subjects will be tested in both TSCS and sham conditions. Aim 2: Determine the impact of TSCS and gait training on walking function. The investigators hypothesize that concurrent TSCS and gait training will augment walking function in subjects with iSCI, as compared to gait training alone. Subjects will participate in an eight-week program of gait training with TSCS and be assessed with clinically relevant outcome measures, to include the Timed Up and Go, 10-Meter Walk Test, Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II, and 6-Minute Walk Test.
Tramadol is widely used as analgesic in trauma patients. However, it causes side effects, most notably nausea and vomiting. This study aim to determine the role of prophylactic metoclopramide in preventing tramadol induced nausea and vomiting.
Using the Blink Reflexometer, athletes are scanned if they are potentially thought to have a concussion during a game or practice.
To evaluate the surgical repercussions in patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury in the respiratory and motor systems, trunk biomechanics, functional capacity and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is: 1. To conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of Working on Womanhood (WOW), a school-based, trauma-informed counseling and clinical mentoring program for young women in Chicago, on PTSD, anxiety, depression. In addition, this study will examine the effect of WOW on other, secondary outcomes such as school discipline, GPA, high school graduation, and criminal justice involvement, risky behaviors, and other social-emotional learning outcomes. 2. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the WOW program.
This study is a prospective national survey of body mass index, and includes all patients with a new spinal cord injury hospitalized at Clinic for Spinal Cord Injuries, Rigshospitalet and Spinal Cord Injury Center of Western Denmark during a period of 9 months. Informed consent is retrieved from all participants.
This study is of a clinical decision support tool for clinicians taking care of patients with severe acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. Nephrologists will be given a standardized clinical assessment and management plan (SCAMP), which is a tool to assist clinicians in decision making on the need for renal replacement therapy (Mendu et al., CJASN 2017). In alternating months, nephrologists will be given the SCAMP vs. another simplified form. The goal is to test whether patients whose clinicians are asked to fill out the SCAMP have improved outcomes compared to the control group. The investigators are also collecting information about provider adherence to the SCAMP and deviations from the SCAMP recommendations to understand clinical decision making related to renal replacement.
Gingival fissures (GF) have been suggested as risk indicators for clinical attachment loss (CAL) and gingival recession, especially in free surfaces and in patients with low plaque scores. The major factors related to the GF occurrence are high daily brushing frequencies, excessive force to brush, malpositioned teeth, use of abrasive dentifrices, and stiffness of the toothbrushes bristles. Thus, in order to better understand the pathogenesis and progression of GF, this study aim to evaluate the incidence and behavior of GF in young adults using soft and medium brushes, in a cross-over randomized clinical trial along 6 months.
