Filter by:this project seeks to understand and quantify the effects of powered transtibial prostheses on socket loading and direct measures of residual limb health so as to inform the optimization of prosthesis fit.
in this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the modular carrying system on the outcomes of care in the mobilization of patients with a chest tube. The population of the study consisted of patients followed in Yedikule Chest Diseases, and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital between October 2019 and January 2021, and the sample consisted of 83 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The study was performed with the intervention group (n=37) mobilized with the Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle and the control group (n=46) mobilized with the routine application.
Apparently healthy and well-functioning community dwelling 70-80 year-olds will be recruited to the study. All subjects undergo pre-screening for suitability and a physicians examination, as well as 7-day habitual daily steps are measured to ascertain baseline physical activity. Half of the recruited subjects (n=40) will be randomized into the intervention group and half (n=40) randomized into the control group. The intervention group is then required to reduce their daily steps to <2000 for a 2-week period. Thereafter, the intervention group participates to a 4-week strength+endurance training rehabilitation program and no longer has restricted daily step count. The control group continues their normal habitual physical activity level throughout the 6-week study period.
This study was planned as a prospective quasi-experimental study with the control group to determine the effect of structured pressure injury patient education (program on the knowledge, participation, wound healing progress, and quality of life among patients with limited mobility. We hypothesized that there would be a significant effect of structured pressure injury patient education on patient's knowledge, participation, wound healing rate, and quality of life between the control and intervention group over time.
This project explores if various nature based activities can lead to acute improvements in emotional, physical and cognitive health outcomes and encouraging senior center (JABA) service users to return to a safe environment. The activities the investigators will use include walking in nature, engaging in physical planting and cerebral, citizen science based activities.
Walking difficulties, mobility decline and falls are prevalent among older adults. The incidence of each of these increases with age and the presence of each can negatively affect the quality of life in older adults. The purpose of this prospective clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Power Centering for Seniors multimodal, twice weekly, 12-week group intervention program to improve the mobility and quality of life in older, community-dwelling adults.
The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the impact of coronavirus (2019-nCoV), hereafter COVID -19, on patients' loss of functional capacity after completion of hospital treatment. Specifically, the research will focus on examining changes in musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory function, as well as motor control. In addition, we aim to evaluate rehabilitation treatments after recovery from COVID -19 and consider additional preventive measures based on previous experience.
The purpose of this study is to determine what amount of physical therapy is beneficial in the hospital setting after suffering a stroke. This study involves research. The investigators propose to enroll 150 individuals with acute stroke admitted to MUSC over the next 12 months and randomize them into increased frequency and usual care PT treatment groups. This study will be designed as a randomized control trial. If a patient agrees to participate, they will be assigned (at random) to either a treatment group which will receive more frequent therapy services or to the control group which will receive the "standard" amount of therapy services currently provided in the hospital setting (~3-5 times per week). By studying the balance, walking and success of patients in the treatment group compared with the control group- the researchers hope to better understand the effect of more frequent physical therapy services on your independence post stroke.
Immobilization in general internal medicine inpatients is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Goal-directed mobilization (GDM) may improve mobility. The aim of this study is to assess, if GDM increases physical activity (DEMMI score) during hospitalization and improves quality of care until 3 months after hospitalization.
Investigate development of an Innovative Instrument on Robot-Aided and Virtual Reality Rehabilitation for Intelligent Physical Training (i.e. gait and stepping) of Individuals post-stroke.
