Filter by:The myotonometric assessment is becoming popular and important in athletic population. It is mentioned an alternate method than expensive methods, and it is easy and reliable assessment. Still there is not enough information of mechanical characteristics in athletic population and ankle mobility. Most clinicians or trainers can use this results and technique for enhancing performance, rehabilitation or prevention
The study aims to investigate the 1) differences between stroke patients and healthy controls in time, steps, angular velocity, stepping patterns, electromyographic responses during turning, and the association of turning to trunk control and motor function after stroke; 2) the effectiveness of trunk training on turning performance, trunk control and motor function in stroke patients.
Increased muscle tone, decreased normal range of motion, and functional impairments may result in decreased load on the affected limb, deviations in gait patterns, balance and coordination disorders in individuals with stroke. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in stroke. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of stroke. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in stroke patients.
Evaluate the results of the implementation of a multicomponent exercise program (16 weeks) for elder community dwelling population on their functionality (via cognitive, balance and mobility status).
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise on body weight-supported treadmill in stroke patients on gait parameters, activity, body functions and quality of life, and to determine whether it has an effect on balance when applied in addition to conventional therapy.
The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of squat-based exercise approach in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study is to compare effect to three groups (flywheel exercise group, electrotherapy modality group and home exercise group) and also decrease the pain, increase muscle strength, activation values and increase the functional level of individuals. Osteoarthritis is the most common rheumatological disease in the world that primarily results in progressive cartilage destruction. Changes occurring as a result of osteoarthritis are the main cause of disability and are most common in the knee joint. Osteoarthritis; problems such as pain, tenderness, joint stiffness, joint swelling, movement restriction, joint deformities, loss of muscle strength, decreased functional capacity and impaired quality of life are observed. The daily life activities of individuals with knee osteoarthritis are restricted by the problems of walking up and down stairs, getting out of the chair, standing, squatting, walking. Improving the symptoms of the disease is an important goal of the rehabilitation process of patients with knee osteoarthritis. In individuals with knee osteoarthritis, joint structure and deformation in cartilage also show loss of strength with muscles. Strengthening exercises have been used in patients with knee osteoarthritis for a long time. Squat exercise is a type of exercise that is widely used as a strengthening exercise.
Despite current walking rehabilitation strategies, the majority of stroke survivors are unable to walking independently in the community and remain at increased risk of falls. Backward treadmill training is a novel training approach used by elite athletes to enhance speed, agility, and balance; however, it is currently unknown how this exercise interacts with the central nervous system or if it could benefit stroke survivors with residual walking impairment. Knowledge gained from this study will likely lead to more effective walking rehabilitation strategies in stroke and related disorders.
Evaluation of the equivalence of 6-minute walking test performed on a non-motorized treadmill to the reference test : a 6-minute walking test on a corridor.
Exercise in general and resistance training (RT) in particular have demonstrated positive effects on physical functioning and frailty. However, frail older people with functional impairments are among the least physically active and may have problems reaching high intensity levels. The use of special vests with integrated electrodes allows the simultaneous innervation of all large muscle groups by external electrical stimulation, inducing a high-intensity RT at low subjective effort level. This whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) may be a feasible option inducing training stimuli for functionally impaired frail older people. This study aims at investigating the feasibility and safety of WB-EMS in frail older people with functional limitations. To explore the effects of age and functional status, young and robust old reference groups will serve as comparators.
With the aging population, the prevalence of chronic conditions continues to rise, affecting 1/3 of Canadians. The promotion of physical literacy, defined as "the motivation, confidence, physical competence and knowledge, to take responsibility for engagement in physical activity for life", has emerged as a promising strategy to increase movement for children. However, little is known about how physical literacy can impact aging adults. A working definition of physical literacy for adults focusing on mobility, function and self-monitoring provides opportunity to guide public health programs in addressing the rehabilitation needs of persons living with multiple chronic conditions.
