Lymphedema is an inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of excess water, plasma proteins, as well as extravascular blood and parenchymal cells in the affected upper and lower arms, chest and/or trunk due to inadequate lymphatic carrying capacity, associated with high-severity, recurrent soft tissue infections that can lead to sepsis and even death. It is a disease. Although there is no definitive treatment for lymphedema disease, a Complex Decongestive Treatment approach, including manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression and self-care, has been defined to slow the progression of the disease and prevent secondary complications. In addition, similar to vagus nerve activation with manual lymphatic drainage, parasympathetic nerve activation has been defined. system activation can be increased. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on quality of life, grip strength and dexterity in unilateral upper extremity lymphedema patients. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study will be lymphedema patients in Gaziosmanpaşa Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, and the sample will be 27 volunteer patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was planned as a single center (Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital). Participants will be randomly divided into three groups. Subjects will be instructed to draw an envelope from a secret box. Each envelope will contain a yellow, red and blue card and they will be assigned to one of the 3 groups of the study accordingly. Only the Complex Decongestive Treatment (manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression) approach will be applied to the first group, Complex Decongestive Treatment and sham transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation to the second group, and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in addition to Complex Decongestive Treatment to the third group. The third party who has access to the box containing the envelopes will not be involved in the study. The data collected from the patients will be entered into the SPSS 21.0 package program, a data set will be created and statistical analyzes will be performed.
The main objective is to evaluate and quantify the manual gripping force caused by mental practice
Stroke often results in impairments of upper extremity, including coordination deficits, reducing of force, weakness and changes in the kinetic and kinematic workspace of fingers with 75% of stroke survivors facing difficulties performing activities of daily living. The ability to oppose the fingertip of the thumb to each fingertip of the same hand is the basis of grasping objects of various sizes and operating tools and assessing and improving distal upper extremity function is of primary goal in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Moreover, repetitive movement practice seems to be crucial for maximizing therapeutic benefits. Recent studies, proposed an engineered glove to assess motor performance during finger-to-thumb opposition movements and to provide objective and reproducible measures. The same tool can be integrated with Virtual Reality and serious games to provide repetitive practice of activities improving motivation and adherence with therapy. the investigators developed a new integrated glove and virtual reality to facilitate the recovery of hand functionality. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the engineered glove in the assessment and treatment of hand dysfunction in people with Stroke.
