Filter by:To better depict the full range of spasticity after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) there is a need to take into account the patients perspective and their experiences during daily life. In 2007 the Spinal Cord Injury-Spasticity Evaluation Tool (SCI-SET) was created and validated. This specific questionnaire addresses the influence of spasticity on the daily life of SCI patients and takes into account negative as well as positive effects of spasticity to fulfill certain tasks. Until now this questionnaire is only available in english, turkish and persian language. Therefore, the investigators translated and culturally adapted this questionnaire and within this study this questionnaire shall be validated in a small cohort of SCI patients. The patients will fill in several different questionnaires at a first meeting and one week later the SCI-SETde questionnaire again to evaluate test-retest properties. Recruiting will happen completely at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre Nottwil, Switzerland.
The randomized control trial will be conducted in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Dr. Ruth K.M. Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi.General population admitted in Civil Hospital Karachi, for wound coverage with skin grafting meetimg inclusion criteria will be included.
The purpose of this study is to report the feasibility and determine the initial effects of 18 sessions of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on retention and transfer of normalized gait biomechanics and improvements in indicators of early post-traumatic osteoarthritis development in those with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at 6 and 8-week posttests.
Roller Hockey is a sport played on a 40*20 metres rink characterized by combined periods of high intensity and short breaks, there´s a lack of epidemiological studies in this field. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Through an online survey filled by semiprofessional athletes, it is posible to obtain all this important information. This way, it will be possible to fulfill a gap in the literature and take action in the near future in order to reduce the prevalence of injuries in this sport.
This study investigates the burden of intermittent catheterization in adult individuals with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) following spinal cord injury (SCI). Individuals will be recruited to compare two types of catheters. Each participant will use a non-hydrophilic catheter at one time point and a hydrophilic catheter at a different time point to perform intermittent catheterization. The order that participants use either a non-hydrophilic or a hydrophilic catheter will be determined randomly. The purpose of the study is to provide evidence for time spent on bladder management (performing intermittent catheterization) as well as consumer satisfaction on using both catheters.
Retrospective observational study design auditing the outcomes of cardiac injuries in a single centre
The study is a prospective, non-randomized feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of providing support with the Aortix System to patients at heightened risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing cardiovascular surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate and outcomes of COVID-19 associated acute kidney injury (AKI) and use of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in critically ill COVID-19 patients in ICUs in several large hospitals in Flanders, the northern region of Belgium. We will also explore the associations between several baseline risk factors for AKI, therapeutic strategies and COVID-19 related clinical signs and the occurrence of AKI and use of KRT.
Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) was proposed and performed in hand operations. Aim of this study is to present the use of WALANT in operations performed on the upper and lower limbs, evaluate its efficacy in terms of feasibility, total operation time, total operating room time, bleeding, patient discomfort and satisfaction and control for potential drawbacks. The hypothesis is that WALANT is a viable option in common operations performed by plastic surgeons on the upper and lower limbs.
This study aimed to (1) develop an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention, based on Swanson's theory of caring, and (2) examine its effects on functional health, resilience, social support, post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety. This study was a randomized clinical trial(RCT) study with repeated measures to identify the effectiveness of an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention. Participants were evaluated at the following time points: pre-test (pre), post-test (post-test 1, immediately after intervention), and follow-up (post-test 2, one month after the intervention) to assess the sustainability of the internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention. Of the 112 women who enrolled in the study, 10 dropped out before post-test 1, resulting in 102 participants who completed all interventions and surveys.
