Filter by:Aim: To compare the effect of different type of shoes (unstable or stable) combined with a whole body vibration training on balance. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Laboratory of biomechanics. Population: Healthy young people.
The researchers' implement and measure the effects of a singing group intervention program for older adults, with an RCT design, in a natural context, on the health, well-being and cognitive function of older adults.
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which occurs when insulin is inadequate or the body's produced insulin cannot be used effectively, but according to the World Health Organization 2016 Global Report on Diabetes, it is an important public health problem that is one of the four priority non-infectious diseases. In addition to high mortality rates caused by diabetes-related complications, it is known that it can cause low quality of life and many additional problems in individuals. These complications and damage, which may be caused by diabetes, may result in reduced blood flow combined with neuropathy; As a result, foot ulcers, infections and consequently the need for amputation may increase. In addition to the additional complications caused by diabetic neuropathy, protective plantar sensory loss and decreased joint position have been reported in the literature. In particular, investigators did not find any comprehensive studies examining the relationship between these sensory changes and the dual task performance in diabetic subjects. In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between joint position sense, plantar sensation, balance and dual task performance in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to contribute to the literature with evidence-based, objective results.
There is many subjective balance tests to evaluate static and dynamic balance. But, there is no sufficient information about which balance test is the most sensitive test to evaluate balance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare of sensitivity of the subjective balance tests with an objective system.
The aim of this study is to determine the fall and balance conditions of Parkinson's patients according to their urinary complaints.
The kinesiophobia; defined as irrational fear of movement, which may occur after painful injury and reduce physical activity. It develops the idea that movement in individuals will cause re-injury and cause additional pain to existing pain. Studies have shown that this situation leads to a decrease in physical fitness, avoidance of activity, decrease in quality of life and even depression in the long term. It is known that functional problems such as balance problems and decrease in physical activity level occur in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, in the literature, there is no study investigating the presence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the aims of our study were to 1) determine the presence / absence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease 2) determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and falling, balance, physical activity level in the presence of kinesiophobia.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy syndrome (CIPN) causes significant pain in hands and feet and is an adverse effect of treatment. Few non-pharmacological interventions have been tested and individuals experience CIPN symptoms years after treatment. This is the first study to explore a somatic yoga and meditation (SYM) intervention on functional outcomes and quality of life in cancer survivors.
In order to tailor interventions, objective assessments of physical function is needed. A limitation of several of today's clinical assessments is that they require too much time and/or space. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) is a commonly used clinical test of physical function in older populations. The TUG is particularly useful due to its short administration time and the little space that is required. The TUG is however of limited value when used in higher-functioning older adults due to ceiling effects. Instrumented versions of TUG (iTUG) computes several outcome measures in addition to the traditional outcome measure which is the total duration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct- and discriminative validity of outcomes derived from sensor signals recorded with a smartphone during a five times repeated iTUG (5iTUG).
This study aims to investigate trunk position sense, postural stability and spine posture in fibromyalgia patients and healthy women.
The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB-T) scale in individuals with osteoarthritis. The secondary aim of this study is to evaluate the responsiveness of the FAB-T scale to change in patients with osteoarthritis.
