Filter by:This randomized trial is set out to compare the postoperative strength preservation capacity of local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block after performing a primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The hypothesis is that LIA represents a superior alternative to PENG block in terms of strength preservation but providing effective analgesia during the first 24 postoperative hours after THA. Hence, the trial was designed as a superiority study hypothesizing a fivefold reduction in quadriceps paresis/paralysis at 3 hours.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a modality for probing and altering brain function in humans non-invasively. The technology relies on the principles of electromagnetic induction, whereby magnetic fields have an associated electrical field. By intersecting two magnetic fields safely generated outside the head, one can induce a focal electrical current where the magnetic fields intersect in the brain, and this can depolarize cell membranes and impact brain activity. A well investigated phenomenon in neuroscience is the principle of long term potentiation (LTP), and its converse long term depression (LTD), referring to the ability of neurons to increase or decrease their connection strength in an activity dependent manner. They do this through modifications to their electrochemical junctions, the synapses. We have previously used the motor system as a model system to study the impact D-Cycloserine, an NMDA receptor partial agonist, on synaptic plasticity after TMS. Conventional therapeutic TMS is delivered once daily, however it is increasingly being delivered multiple times per day in an effort to speed treatment effects. It is unclear how adjunctive agents would impact these repeated stimulation designs. Research Question: Does the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor partial agonist D-Cycloserine stabilize motor plasticity across multiple daily sessions of TMS?
The objective of this quasi-experimental study design was to examine effects of the coordinated-bilateral ball skills (CBBS) intervention on cognitive functions and aerobic fitness in elementary school students. The hypotheses of the study were: students in the intervention group will show a significant higher level of cognitive functions and aerobic fitness compared to the control students.
The main aim of the project is to establish inter-rater reliability, internal variability and variability of results got in two different ways of the Nine Hole Peg Test administered according to the new Czech extended version manual in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Various gait deviations are observed in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim was to determine the effect of cognitive task (CT) and motor task (MT) on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 15 children with CP, between 9-15 years old, with Communication Function Classification System (CFSS) level I, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-II were included in the study. The gait with four different conditions (single gait, CT, MT and CT&MT) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course. Results:
This is a randomized clinical trial to study the effect of tDCS in participants with subacute ischemic stroke, the study participants will be randomly assigned into three groups; bihemispheric, unihemispheric and sham group.
