Filter by:In this study, the investigators plan to have Parkinson's patients perform exercises according to the task-oriented training method. Since recent studies have suggested that task-oriented training should be organized as a series of workstations that allow for more intensive practice, each of them has a program content implemented in the form of a station. The program will be implemented in 11 different stations with 3 minutes and a 1-minute break at each station, 3 days a week for 8 weeks under the supervision and guidance of a physiotherapist. The task-oriented training program will be carried out by applying the above-mentioned exercises in the form of stations sequentially within a certain period of time. For all exercises, the intensity perceived by the individuals will be ensured to be 12-15 points of perceived exertion according to the Borg Perceived Exertion Scale. In this way, the exercise program can be easily individualized according to the participant's pain, complaints, and functional status. In the study, after the task-oriented approach, foam roller application and myofascial release will be applied at the end of each session. Foam roller application; C7-T1 and posterior neck region, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and right and left sides of the thoracolumbar spine will be applied with a foam roller, which is a myofascial release device, in each session. Each application area will be applied in 3 sets of 60 seconds of application and 30 seconds of rest. The intensity of the pressure for the intensity of the application will be subjectively controlled with a target numeric rating scale rating of 7/10 (0 represents no discomfort and 10 represents maximum discomfort). In the sham group, similar to the literature, the intensity of the application will be applied in accordance with the 0/10 numeric rating scale, at the same application sites, for the same duration and the same rest intervals. Within the scope of this study, participants gait, balance, rotation time, range of motion, level of achievement of the treatment goal, quality of life and trunk impairment will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and at the end of 8 weeks.
In order to cope with pain, improve quality of life and prevent kinesiophobia in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, most of the physiotherapy approaches used so far are standard. However, nowadays, it has been observed that participation in treatment has increased with game-based exercises instead of standard physiotherapy. In addition, remote monitoring applications made it possible to perform physiotherapy programs, which are an integral part of the treatment in children with JIA, who is difficult to reach the clinic due to reasons such school schedule and living area, through remote monitoring. This project aimed to investigate the effects of telemonitoring-supported game-based home exercise programs on pain, kinesiophobia and quality of life. The original aspect of our project is to include telemonitoring-supported game-based home exercise programs as an alternative physiotherapy program in children with JIA. Its contribution to clinical practice is to change the perspective of physiotherapists and children on standard physiotherapy practices, to increase their motivation, and to ensure children's participation in treatment.
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of aquatic therapy versus standard care on paraspinal and gluteal morphology and function in individuals with chronic low back pain.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the effects of aquatic therapy versus standard care on a) paraspinal and gluteal muscle size, composition (e.g., fatty infiltration) and b) lumbar and gluteal muscle strength in individuals with chronic LBP? 2. Is aquatic therapy more effective than standard care to improve pain, function and psychological factors (e.g., kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression)? 3. Is using a digital application "play the pain" feasible to monitor pain levels and the activities that participants used to cope with pain? Participants will be assigned to either the aquatic therapy group or standard care group where they will undergo a 10-week intervention including two 60-minute session per week.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) based rehabilitation protocol for improvement of blood glucose control and exercise compliance of patients. Subjects aged 55-85 diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes will be recruited. A written consent will be obtained from subjects. Subjects recruited will be randomly divided into one of the two groups. The VR group will receive an exercise program conducted in elderly centre or a control group will receive home exercise program. The 12-week exercise program will be conducted three times per week and each session will last for one hour. Assessment that takes about one hour to complete will be carried out at baseline, mid-way (6th week) and after the 12-week exercise training. Assessment items include physical, psychosocial and cognitive function. Also, blood test on HbA1c will be carried out at baseline and at the end of the 12-week training. During this course of research, subjects are strongly advised to stay with their present lifestyle and medication.
To determine the effect of the eccentric exercise training on injury prevention and hamstring strength in football players.
The primary objectives of the APAREXIM'Pilot study are to evaluate the short- and medium-term effects of a live supervised Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program via videoconferencing on: - Feasibility and acceptability of APA via videoconferencing by the patients. - The primary symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa (AN). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of this program on : - Mental health - Physical condition - Sleep-wake cycle (sleep disturbance and physical hyperactivity) The patients will first undergo an inclusion visit (T0) at the University Hospital of Caen, then a first evaluation session (T1) at the COMETE laboratory in Caen (physical tests, questionnaires, sleep diary, actimetry). They will then be randomly divided into 2 groups: 15 patients who will follow an APA program supervised by videoconference for 8 weeks (AM-APA) at their home, in addition to the usual outpatient treatment, and 15 patients who will benefit only from the classic outpatient treatment (AM-T). All patients will undergo two additional evaluation sessions at one week post-program (T2) and at 3 months post-program (T3).
A Randomised Controlled Trial was conducted to assess increases in hamstring flexibility using two different methods, one group of participants who were stretched with PNF techniques and the other group who performed Hypopressive Abdominal Techniques (HAT). Flexibility scores of both groups were obtained and compared using pre and post measurements of a single intervention.
As part of a Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF project (On-site multi-component intervention to improve productivity and reduce the economic and personal burden of neck pain in Swiss Office-Workers, NEXpro = Neck EXercises for productivity, SNSF no. 32003B_182389, BASEC no. 2019-01678), the investigators first developed a physiotherapeutic exercise intervention to improve the strength and mobility of the neck muscles. In the SNSF project NEXpro, the intervention took place on-site in the office. However, in view of the digital transformation, it is important to adapt the intervention delivery method to the new virtual work setting. The aims of the present project are therefore to implement, further develop and contextually adapt the exercise intervention in order to reduce musculoskeletal complaints and to reduce health-related presenteeism. The final product is a user-friendly virtual 6-week short exercise intervention that employees of the University of Bern can use independently, regardless of time and place. The effectiveness of the newly developed short exercise intervention (pain reduction, reduction of presenteeism) will be assessed during a short pilot phase.
The most common complications following mastectomy are pain, lymphedema of the upper limb ipsilateral to surgery, decreased range of motion (ROM), limited to 90° of flexion, abduction, and external rotation to 40° of the shoulder, and postural changes. It was reported that 60% of breast cancer patients show a reduction in shoulder flexion and abduction at 1-month post-surgery and 10% of survivors show a persistent ROM reduction at 12 months. So, The purpose of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic impact of scapular mobilization and strengthening exercises on shoulder function post-mastectomy.
The whole experiment included one-month APBCRE therapy and two assessments. The one-month APBCRE consisted of twelve exercise sessions, evenly three times per week. At baseline and after rehabilitation, participants underwent one assessment, including car-diopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), resting metabolic rate (RMR) detection, and quality of life questionnaire (QoL). The primary outcomes were exercise capacity measured by function parameters at anaerobic threshold (AT) and other CPET physiological indexes. The secondary endpoints were the RMR level and QoL score.
