Filter by:Obesity is associated with functional decline , altered spatiotemporal gait parameters (e.g. lower gait speed, shorter strides, and increased step width), and a significantly higher metabolic cost of walking compared to people with normal body weight. Obesity also negatively affects balance control.This study will investigate foot progression angle in adolescents related to their weight and category classification based on the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) growth charts.
To investigate the health effects of a new mobile application (app) for prevention and personalized treatment in people with chronic cardiovascular pathologies associated with body composition.
This research aims to compare the effect of weighted and elastic resistance training of gluteus maximus in subjects with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Randomized clinical trials were done. The sample size was 54. The subjects were divided into two groups, 27 subjects in the weighted resistance training group and 27 in the elastic resisted training group. The study duration was of 1 year. The sampling technique applied was the non-probability connivance sampling technique. Only 20-40 years of symptomatic subjects with pain in the SI region for at least 12 weeks (chronic) and had no previous physical therapy treatment were included. Tools used in the study are numeric pain scale, dynamometer, and Oswestry disability index. Data was be analyzed through SPSS 21.
Umbilical vein catheters (UVC) are commonly inserted in newborns especially neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).These catheters are used since 1959. It is a suitable method for parenteral nutrition access and medications administration. Despite the benefits of the UVC, its potential complications must be considered. Thus, it is vital to determine the appropriate penetration length of the UVC.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the effects of online app weight loss programs on liver health in obese adults.
Apparently healthy and well-functioning community dwelling 70-80 year-olds will be recruited to the study. All subjects undergo pre-screening for suitability and a physicians examination, as well as 7-day habitual daily steps are measured to ascertain baseline physical activity. Half of the recruited subjects (n=40) will be randomized into the intervention group and half (n=40) randomized into the control group. The intervention group is then required to reduce their daily steps to <2000 for a 2-week period. Thereafter, the intervention group participates to a 4-week strength+endurance training rehabilitation program and no longer has restricted daily step count. The control group continues their normal habitual physical activity level throughout the 6-week study period.
The ClockWork Postpartum Weight Management Pilot Study is an intervention study that will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of the ClockWork intervention among women with prepregnancy overweight/obesity during the first 4 months postpartum.
Investigation about the effect on weight gain in extremely low birth weight preterm with individualized fortification, according to human milk analysis versus fortification adjusted according to urea serum concentration.
To evaluate a nutritional intervention for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer on a weight control and physical activity program.
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can reflect the microstructure and pathological changes of tissue, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can quantitatively evaluate the fine structure of white matter in brain. In this study, conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI, DTI) sequences were used to analyze the brain of monochorionic twin pregnancies with demise of one fetus.
