Filter by:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide, and is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Physical activity and lifestyle interventions are among the most recommended treatments for individuals with MASLD. In this RCT, we will evaluate the effect of combined exercise training "strength and aerobic training" versus "strength and high intensity training (HIIT)". The main outcome parameter is the severity of liver steatosis. Patients will be recruited at the fatty liver clinic of the UZ Gent.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular and aquatic Exercise programs on fall risk and physical function in geriatrics. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (NE Group) and Group 2 (AE Group) (Randomizer.org). NE (Neuromuscular Exercise) group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training, postural stability and control, global and local joint stabilization, balance training, muscle strength, breathing, and functional movement patterns.AE (Aqıuatic Exercise) Group will participate in an aquatic exercise program, which includes warm-up, mobility and strength, stretching, and cooling exercises in a 140 cm deep pool with a water temperature of 32 °. Data will be collected using the International Physical Activity Survey Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Geriatric Pain Measure, Optojump-next (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy), 6-minute Walk Test, 30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test, Four Step Square Test, Berg Balance Scale, Fear of Falling Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire. Practice Implications: This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises affect falls and physical function in geriatrics.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Aerobic Dance During Chemotherapy Improve Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Patients？ - Does the efficacy of aerobic dance differ from fast walking of equal intensity？ Recruited patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) aerobic dance group, (2) fast walking group, and (3) usual care group. The aerobic dance and fast-walking groups participated in supervised exercise lasting 50 minutes thrice a week for 12 weeks. The goal of this study's findings is to develop practical strategies for managing breast cancer-related cognitive impairment.
type of study: clinical trial the goal of this study is to learn about action observation therapy for cerebral palsy population. The main question it aim to answer is: Is action observation therapy effective on balance in children with cerebral palsy? Twenty-four children who met the inclusion criteria in the study will be randomly divided into two groups as the training group(action observation group) and the control group.
The lateral ankle complex sprain is the most prevalent musculoskeletal injury among the general population and athletes and is associated with long-term pain, disability, and high healthcare costs. One of the complications of a lateral ankle sprain is the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI). Conservative treatment is the initial therapeutic option for patients with CAI, however, the best strategies are not yet clear. Clinically, a new invasive technique has appeared, known as echoguided Percutaneous Neuromodulation (EPNM). To date there are no studies showing the efficacy of the technique in patients with CAI together with the combination of a neuromuscular exercise program. Participants: Volunteers and adults, from the group of students of the Gimbernat University School with a history of ankle sprain and physically active who meet the inclusion criteria. Study variables: Self-administered ankle function scales (Cumberland ankle instability tool: CAIT and foot and ankle ability:FAAM measure Scale), objective measurement of function in the lower limb (Test countermovement jump: CMJ and Side hop Test:SHT), measurement of isometric strength of the ankle musculature, measurement of dynamic balance (Test star excursion balance), range of motion measurement (Ankle Dorsiflexion) and pain measurement (Numeric pain rating scale: NPRS Scale). Procedures: After carrying out the assessment, the participants will be randomized to participate in a neuromuscular exercise intervention (control group) or in a neuromuscular exercise intervention together with an application of EPNM in the common peroneal nerve (control group). experimental). The duration of the intervention in both cases will be 4 weeks, where in the control group there will be 2 sessions per week of exercise and in the experimental group 2 sessions per week of exercise plus an application of EPNM. Objective and hypothesis: The main objective of the study will be to compare the short- and medium-term effects of both interventions in relation to the study variables to be measured. The investigators hypothesize that those patients who receive neuromodulation combined with the neuromuscular exercise program will have greater improvements.
The present clinical trial aims to identify if skills acquired during aquatic exercise are more effectively transferred to a reactive balance task than land exercise. This study is designed as a double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial. Forty-four older adults aged 60 years or above who meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited and randomized into an aquatic exercise group or land exercise group. Each group will participate in the same balance training exercise during a single session that includes a ball throwing and catching task. A modified lean-and-release test will be implemented on land immediately before, after, and one week after the training session. The outcomes will include reaction time, rapid response accuracy, and mini-BESTest scores obtained from stepping and grasping reactions.
This study evaluates if a multi-component intervention, respecting the characteristics of frail older person and increasing intensity and challenge of exercises according to frail older person capacity/evolution will induce better functional results than a multi-component intervention specific to lower body. the volunteers will be randomized into experimental group and control group.
Background: The individual's ability to sustain itself in the upright position, effectively adjusting the body's movements and reacting to external stimuli, postural control strategies represent essential activities of daily living. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2) is considered a more problem of Public Health as having complications deficit in functional performance of the lower limbs and falls, which can interfere with the maintenance of balance, and is a strong predictor of functional limitations self referred. Aim: To assess quality of life and the answers neuromuscular balance and baropodometric after sensory-motor training in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: To be recruited 50 volunteers aged between 45 to 64 years with DM-2, of both sexes, divided into two groups: 1) Guidelines and 2) Guidelines + sensory-motor training. Biomechanical data will be collected (balance, baropodometry, electromyography strength and joint position sense), as well as questionnaires ADDQoL and BESTest. The intervention will be twice a week for 45 minutes for 12 weeks, divided into three phases: heating, sensory-motor training and cool-down, with monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose. There will be a follow up after 3 months of intervention. Statistical analysis will be used normality test to verify the data distribution and consistent statistical test for the appropriate comparisons within and between groups, and adopted a significance level of 5%. Expected Results: Considering previous studies that demonstrate improvement in postural balance static and dynamic responses under the forward training protocol sensorimotor disease Diabetes mellitus type 2, is expected to improve neuromuscular, balance, distribution plant, the joint position sense and the quality of life of voluntary DM-2.
