Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effect of therapeutic exercise on the gut microbiome in chronic widespread pain patients. Our investigation purpose is to improve the quality of life of participants, reduce their disability and optimize their functionality. The intervention will last 6 weeks, with 2 face-to-face therapeutic exercise sessions guided by a professional and a 6-week post-intervention follow-up. The participation will require: 1. Attend the 12 therapeutic exercise sessions 2. Attend the 3 evaluations: at the beginning (A0), post intervention (A1) and +6 weeks after finishing the exercise program (A3). The items to be evaluated will be the following: 1. The Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) 2. Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)) 3. Depression: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) 4. Quality of Life: SF-12 5. Pain: numerical scale (0-100) and The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) 6. Sensory tests: heat pain threshold (HPT), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pain modulation (CPM) 7. Perform a pre blood test on interleukins IL-18 and IL-1β This study involves the processing of personal data, so the researchers will guarantee confidentiality in their treatment at all times, complying with the personal data protection regulations, in particular, European Regulation 679/2016. , of April 27, general data protection, as well as Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights. In order to maintain your privacy and anonymity during the research, only one person on the research team will know how names were assigned to a participation number.
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.
To determine the effect of the eccentric exercise training on injury prevention and hamstring strength in football players.
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.
The study consists of an intervention of 16 therapeutic exercise sessions during 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week. All sessions had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) with the help of elastic bands. In addition, they had an initial session and another at the end of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables (cervical pain, cervical flexor strength, cervical extensor strength and strength of the scapular stabilising musculature) were taken on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months. Nonspecific neck pain has a higher incidence in women than in men. Female sex is a risk factor for this pathology. Clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of preventing neck pain through exercise. There are previous studies on the effects of strength programmes on patients with non-specific neck pain, but none have used elastic bands as an implement, despite the fact that it is one of the most commonly used implements in physiotherapy clinics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an elastic band therapeutic exercise intervention in women with non-specific neck pain. It was previously hypothesised that this intervention would have positive effects on pain and strength in the cervical and scapular region.
To investigate the effect of yoga-based exercises therapy on functional capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality in healthcare professionals following COVID-19.
The study consists of a theoretical and practical intervention based on the Back School. This intervention will be carried out over 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week, for a total of 16 sessions of 45 minutes duration. Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education). The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region.Therefore, the main aim of this innovative study is to to investigate the effects of a Back School based intervention on the prevention of neck pain and as secondary objectives to investigate the effects on neck flexor and extensor strength as well as scapular stability. The hypothesis is that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on neck pain prevention, neck strength and scapular stability.

There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a BS-based intervention on neck pain and functionality as well as kinesiophobia and quality of life in adults. The hypothesis previously hypothesised that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on pain, functionality, kinesiophobia and quality of life.
