Filter by:Physiotherapy intervention programs in the post-stroke patient should develop strategies to assess functional deficit, prevent poorly adaptive plasticity and maximize functional gain. For relearning and functional training, the required activities require motor control and must comply with the following principles: movements close to normal, muscular activation, movement conduction, focused attention, repetition of desired movements, specificity of training, intensity and transfer. These principles underlie the most widely used conventional physiotherapy intervention programs in the hospital setting. Advances in technology have made it possible to start using immersive VR in the therapeutic approach to various pathologies that affect motor function.
Foot and body postures of patients with DMD will be evaluated. Foot structure characteristics such as foot length, metatarsal width, calcaneal valgus angle will be calculated for the foot posture. Also, the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) scale will be used. The body posture will be evaluated with the New York Posture Scale. Many gait characteristics such as step length, cadence, support surface of the patients will be determined with GaitRite instrumented walkway. Patients' balance assessment will be evaluated with Bertec Balance Advantage. The statistical analysis method will determine the relationship between foot and body posture and gait and balance.
Lower limb amputation is a factor that changes the individual's weight transfer, gait pattern, and trunk balance. This change plantar pressure distribution of both side and cause a series of problems to be exposed over time according to level of amputation. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between amputation level-postural balance and amputation level-plantar pressure distribution.
This study is a case control pilot study to investigate the impact of a short-term intervention on training anticipatory postural adjustments in a population of people with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
The main aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on Plantar Pressure Distribution and Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-four patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group will teach basic elements. Patients' maintenance of posture during both static and dynamic conditions (Biodex Balance System SD), distribution of foot pressure (Baropedometric Platform), foot posture (Foot Posture Index), frontal-sagittal plan posture (PostureScreen Mobile Application), body symmetry (Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index and Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index), deformity perception (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22), spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of multisensory balance training on the levels of visual dependence and sensory organization capacity in community-dwelling older adults. Participants in the experimental group received multisensory balance training while those in the control group received conventional balance training without sensory manipulation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate postural control in children with idiopathic toe walking using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System), which is reported to be a reliable and valid instrument for detecting changes in balance and postural control in the literature.
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of Clinical Pilates Exercise Training and Combined Exercise Training on balance and functional status in individuals with knee Osteoarthritis (OA).
The relationship between increased femoral anteversion and postural control in healthy children has not been studied in the current literature. To our knowledge there is no study to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion by computerized posturography. We aimed to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System).
This study aimed to explore the effects of Kinesio tape applied to plantar soles on balance in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Two groups including children with DS and a group with their typically developing peers evaluated. Half of the children with DS took Kinesio tape application to the plantar soles and the other half took sham taping application. All children evaluated with dynamic and static balance measurements and DS children evaluated immediately after taping and 45 minutes after taping again with the same measurements.
