Filter by:the purpose of this study is to compare the gain in length after postburn contracture release using two different techniques, the more commonly practised z - plasty and relatively newer technique, square flap
The aim of this study is to find whether functional dry needle is helpful to increase the length of shortened hamstring muscle or not
The aim of this research is to study the role of hip flexor strength in the act of particular movement tasks generally required in cricket. In young cricket players, hip flexor training protocol may be productive in improving the acceleration time of sprint and shuttle run. It was a Randomized Controlled Trial conducted in National Cricket Academy Lahore, Lahore zonal Cricket Academy, Multan High Performance Cricket Centre during 6 months. 30 participants were selected through Non Probability Convenience Sampling Technique with inclusion criteria Female cricket players involved in their training programs aged 17-25 years and Participants should be bodily active before the start of trial for minimum 30 minutes a day for 5 days of week. The participants were excluded if Systematic strength training Performed by the athletes for the hip flexors more than a week before the start of trial and if Athlete suffered an injury or having pain in low back area, hips or lower limbs in last 6 months or if they have any diagnosed Neuro-musculoskeletal, musculo-skeletal pathology. The Data Collection Tools were 40-yd Dash Test, Shuttle Run and Dynamometer.
A Pilot Study on Ultrasound B mode Imaging and Elastography during administration of Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) for Dupuytren's contracture.
Clinical effect of intermittent multiple IPICK blocking on TKA for knee osteoarthritis with flexion contracture between 5 ° and 10 °
The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare and analyze the incidence of complications in patients undergoing postmastectomy radiation therapy after breast reconstruction with subpectoral and prepectoral placement of implant. Investigators hypothesized that immediate acellular dermal matrix-assisted implant-based breast reconstruction with prepectoral implant placement would result in lower risk of capsular contracture after postmastectomy radiation therapy(PMRT) compared with acellular dermal matrix(ADM)-assisted implant-based breast reconstruction with subpectoral implant placement.
This study evaluates the capacity of the NovaGray RILA Breast® test to predict the toxicity linked to radiotherapy and the impact of implant breast reconstruction.
Electrical stimulation has a wide range of clinical applications in rehabilitation, being used for activities such as strengthening, pain control, management of edema, or control of inflammation after injury or surgery. One of the most classic forms of electrotherapy is direct current (DC), which stands out for its particular effects and which are not achieved with other forms of electrical stimulation. A new therapeutic alternative through DC is Percutaneous Microelectrolysis (MEP), which began to have a significant boom in Latin America a couple of years ago. MEP is a minimally invasive procedure in which a low intensity DC is used. MEP has been proposed as a therapeutic resource to reduce muscle contractions and shortenings, thus favoring flexibility, although research to support this effect is lacking. Muscle flexibility is an important component in rehabilitation and training programs. In lower limbs, tightness hamstring muscles is a common condition that limits flexibility and affects sedentary and athletic people. Loss of flexibility of hamstrings has been reported for different sports disciplines, showing a decrease in a high percentage with the exception of sports such as rhythmic gymnastics and dance where flexibility is essential for good performance. Loss of hamstring extensibility has been associated with a higher incidence of muscle tears, patellar tendinopathy, low back pain and alterations in lumbopelvic rhythm associated with compensatory biomechanical changes such as limb shortening, pelvic retroversion, and increased thoracic kyphosis, among others. It is interesting to investigate the effectiveness of MEP in hamstring tightness. A increase in hamstring flexibility can contribute to increased joint range, muscle strength, and lower limb agility.
A total of at least 15 and up to 17 healthy subjects at a single site, aged 25-45 years old, who wish to receive a lifting effect and improved muscle definition, will be included in the study. The procedure will include treatments with the Legend Pro™ DMA™ technology. Photos will be obtained at pre-defined time points throughout the study.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of myofascial release technique on rib cage mobility, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance in patients with hamstring muscle shortness.
