Filter by:Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures when looking at upper extremity fractures. The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing day by day, and when looking at the databases of various countries, its annual prevalence reaches 70,000 in the UK and 640,000 in the USA. Most of these fractures are related to osteoporosis and require appropriate treatment. If not, it causes loss of work force, permanent disability, and limitation in daily activities. Fluidotherapy has also proven to be effective in reducing hand edema in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and stroke, examining its effect on nerve conduction velocities, and warming hypothermic patients. Compared to these treatment methods, fluid therapy reduces both joint capsule and muscle temperature by 9°C and 5.7°C, respectively. has been reported to increase.
The goal of this randomised comparison study is to compare different bandage interface pressures in individuals with breast cancer related lymphedema The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is high or low bandage pressure effective in reducing edema and soft tissue thickness? - do bandages applied with high or low bandage pressure comprimise sleep, comfort or subjective benefit from treatment? Participants will recieve complex decongestive physiotherapy. Bandage will apply high or low pressure. Effects of high and low bandage interface pressures will compare
This a prospective, longitudinal study designed to track edema and Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) onset in breast cancer patients taking targeted therapy treatments for early and metastatic breast cancer. A Perometer and Sozo devise will be used to measure volume changes
Wrist fractures are a very common event affecting patients of all ages and are estimated to account for approximately 10% -25% of all fractures. 70-90% of fractures are treated with closed reduction and forearm cast. In 2019, 17.4% of wrist fractured patients treated with a plaster cast at the Orthopedic Emergency Department (OED) of the Local Health Unit ("Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale", AUSL) of Piacenza had a second access to the OED for edema, pain or "intolerance to the plaster cast ". In literature, there are several studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of adhesive elastic tape for edema control, mostly lymphedema secondary to breast cancer or post-operative edema after knee arthroplasty, although a definitive evidence is still needed. With this trial, the investigators aim to evaluate the tape effectiveness in counteracting hand edema formation in wrist fractured adult patients treated with forearm cast.
This study determined the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Figure-of-Eight method on healthy hands, and compared the figure-of-eight measurements to the gold standard volumetric measurements. Part B of the study conducted in a clinic, assessed the intra-rater reliability and inter-rater reliability on both hands of patients with hand injuries.
