Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the MWM technique on pain, normal joint movement, proprioception and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
The aim is to investigate the effect of early initiated and supervised mobilization continued after discharge as management of postoperative pain and recovery following obesity surgery, including patient experiences, pain coping, physical functionality and quality of life.
Objectives: Research on the effect of mobilization training given to women before the hysterectomy operation on post-operational bottom functions and pain is a new and promising feld of research. However, high-level evidence on whether mobilization and mobilization training has an effect on bowel function and pain is insufficient. The present study addresses this research question. Design: A two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 82 women patients.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of acupressure application on cesareans' pain and the number of steps in the first mobilization. This study hypothesizes that acupressure reduces pain and improves number of steps.
Background: In the work with early mobilization (EM), in intensive care, several types of EM are used A sitting in bed in semi- Fowler's position, sitting on the edge of the bed, and sitting in a chair. Nowadays, it is often possible to achieve a comfortable sitting in the beds in ICU. However, in a recent study by the same author group one of the findings was the importance to get out of bed. Getting out of bed was associated with decreasing feelings of hopelessness and being less ill. It also encouraged the will to fight for recovery. There are few studies in intensive care that have examined what happens to circulation and oxygenation in various forms of sitting. Studies that examined the patient's own experience of sitting in bed compared to sitting in a chair are missing. The aim is therefore to investigate physiological response and experience in patients in intensive care when sitting in bed or in a chair Method: Repeated measures randomized cross-over study Selection: Patients with respiratory and / or circulatory insufficiency requiring intensive care, Inclusion criteria: Approximately 30 respiratory and circulatory stable patients with emergency admission to intensive care. Aged over 18 years, who understands Swedish. The patient and / or relative are asked after the physician in charge has given medical approval. Recruitment is planned to be done by nurses in charge at the unit. Exclusion criteria: Patients who have undergone planned surgery without complications. Intervention: The participants in the study will be measured in two different positions; sitting in bed and sitting in chair. They are randomized to start either sitting in bed or in a chair and will sit for 20 minutes in each position, at 4 - hour intervals. Data collection, physiological variables: The following physiological variables will be measured: Blood pressure and oxygenation by arterial needle and pulse by ECG. They will be measured before the intervention, at the beginning of the intervention, after ten minutes, at the end of the intervention and ten minutes afterwards Data collection, qualitative variables: Rating of the experience of exertion, pain and satisfaction. Data analysis: Statistical analysis of differences between the two positions. For quantitative variables that are normally distributed, paired t-tests will be used. For qualitative variables and non-normally distributed quantitative variables, Wilcoxon character rank test or Mc Nemar test will be used
Within the MobiStaR project the adaptation of procedures in an intensive care unit combined with the use of this robotic system will create the conditions to increase the mobilization rate of critically ill intensive care patients significantly, possibly thereby increasing the rehabilitation outcomes for these patients and developing a new standard of care for robot-assisted early mobilization. The intervention study will assess the organizational feasibility of robot-assisted early mobilization (starting in the first 72 hours after admission to the ICU), the behavior and experience of the mobilizing professionals and the effects on patient outcomes in terms of ventilation time, muscle mass (sonographic examination) and physical activity (measured by established scores such as Functional Status Score for ICU (FSS-ICU) and Medical Research Council (MRC) classification).
This is a prospective cohort study, planned to study the effects of pedometers (digital step counters) on patient mobility following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries. The investigators plan to study the effect of personalized repeated feedback approach based on pedometer results in patients following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries.
Permanent pacemaker implantation is one of the most common arrhythmological procedure. This procedure is usually accompanied by a minimum of 2-3 days hospitalization, with immobilization of patients (supine) for 16-24 hours. The optimal duration of patient´s immobilization is not determined. There is also no recommendation from individual manufacturers of pacemakers for the duration of immobilization after pacemaker implantation. The length of immobilization is based rather on the tradition established at the time of using electrodes with passive fixation. The aim of our prospective, randomized study (EMAPI) is to compare the safety of short-term (4-hours) immobilization with long-term (16-24 hours) immobilization after primary pacemaker implantation. Septal position will be used for right ventricular electrode.
