Filter by:This is a prospective randomized trial wherein participants will be assigned to NutraHeal™, NutraHeal Plus™, or standard of care for 1 week prior to foot surgery and 3 weeks after surgery. The central hypothesis is that among patients undergoing surgery, nutritional supplements that maintain energy production, muscle structure, immune function, and response to pain will support recovery from surgery.
The aim of the study is to assess the health habits and changes in body composition and exercise capacity as well as blood biochemical parameters of people participating in 14-21-day walking pilgrimages. This type of physical activity can be classified as long-term and multi-stage hiking tours. Among the people participating in the pilgrimage, a significant part of the population are people aged> 50 years. Moderate physical activity is an important pro-health element, however, it has not been determined yet how long and accumulated activity may affect the health of pilgrims. Suddenly taking up activity and the challenge of walking several hundred kilometres may be a heavy burden for the body, and its effects may have a negative impact on the body. The evaluation of the processes taking place in the body under the influence of this type of physical activity, motivated by religious goals, will expand the scope of knowledge about safety as well as health indications and contraindications for this type of activity. It will also allow identifying adaptive changes and their effects
The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of towel curl exercises and short foot exercises on pedobarographic parameters and balance. 91 healthy students (63 females, 28 males) with mean age of 20,65±2,41 years who attend to Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Faculty of Health Sciences and met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate included in this randomized controlled study. Participants were randomly divided into, Short Foot Exercise(n=28), Towel Curl Exercise (n=31) and Control Groups (n=32). Participant's demographic information were recorded, foot number measurement, navicular drop test, metatarsal width measurement, static and dynamic pedobarographic evaluations, and the balance evaluation were performed. Following the initial assessment, participants who included in Short Foot and Towel Curl Exercise Group performed the exercises that they were assigned to under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 4 weeks and no exercise was given to the control group. After the completion of 4 weeks all the initial assessments were repeated in all groups.
The proposed effort is designed to support evidence-based practice and optimal care by evaluating how the form, fit and function of two commercially available carbon fiber custom fit braces (Orthoses) influences outcomes following extremity injury. Early data suggests that custom fit carbon fiber braces can significantly improve function following severe lower leg injuries. The proposed study will provide evidence that can be used by clinicians to guide their practice, including care for service members, veterans and civilians who have experienced a high-energy traumatic injury to their lower leg.
There have previously been no validated a specific foot and ankle patient-reported outcome measures in Turkish. The Visual Analogue Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS-FA) will translated and adapted into Turkish language. Thereafter, 200 patients who had foot and ankle disorders or surgery will complete VAS-FA questionnaire set on two separate occasions. Analyses included testing of floor-ceiling effect, internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity.
