Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the digital stabilizing splint in management of masticatory muscle disorder. The main question it aims to answer are: • is the digital stabilizing splint effective in treatment of masticatory muscle disorder signs and symptoms after 3 months follow up ? Participants will be asked to ware the splint and progressively increasing the duration of splint wear, starting from 8 hours per day for 3 months .
To compare the effects of stretching exercises versus thermotherapy on RLS symptoms and sleep quality among pregnant women. Research hypotheses: - Pregnant women who perform leg stretching exercises exhibit lower RLS symptoms severity and pain level than those who applied thermotherapy. - Pregnant women who perform leg stretching exercises exhibit higher sleep quality than those who applied thermotherapy.
Hemophilia A and B are inherited disorders characterized by deficient or missing coagulation factors VIII or IX, respectively, of which the main long-term clinical manifestation is joint damage. Patients with haemophilia (PwH) are susceptible to clinical joint bleeding that may cause irreversible joint damage. Some degree of damage may already occur after the first haemarthrosis or even in children who never experienced clinically evident joint bleeds. Joints are mechanical systems with a structure strictly related to functioning. Therefore, any alteration in structure may have an impact on function (starting from the primary level of posture and anti-gravity muscles), which might in turn stress the joints and increase the risk of bleeding.The primary aim of this study is to investigate the changes in posture and the mechanical properties of anti-gravity muscles of adolescent PwH. The secondary aim is to determine the effect of joint dysfunction on posture in adolescent PwH.
Research Problem: To know the immediate effects of high speed and low amplitude cervical manipulation on the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of physiotherapy students at the University of the Americas Course objective: To compare the immediate effects of high-speed, low-amplitude cervical manipulation on the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles versus a placebo intervention in kinesiology students at the University of the Americas. Specific objectives: To describe the changes in the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of the high-speed cervical manipulation group in students of the physiotherapy school of the University of the Americas of the Santiago Centro campus. To describe the changes in the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of the placebo group in students of the physiotherapy school of the University of the Americas of the Santiago Centro campus. Methodology: Single-blind, randomized clinical trial. Expected results: Significant differences are expected between the intervention group and the control group. This is reflected in a decrease in electromyographic activity in the masseter muscles after high-speed cervical manipulation.
Cheeks appearance is a screening tool developed based on cheeks observation to identify volume, flaccidity or both to predict people with probable obstructive sleep apnea.
This study is an observational cross-sectional study. Post-operative patients need an immobilization period for a certain period of time after surgery. Kinetic chain changes due to immobilization can affect the symmetry of the core muscle. Therefore, in this study, core muscle asymmetry (CMA) is measured using a whole body tilt device for inpatients who have undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We would like to make a clinical suggestion for post-operative rehabilitation by identifying the characteristics of CMA according to the left or right site.
In addition to muscle thickness and average echo intensity, this study aimed to use quantitative ultrasonic technology to increase the number of related parameters of power Doppler ultrasonography measured to describe the number, quality, and recruitment level of muscles. In addition, this method was compared with the existing muscle strength testing methods. Image recognition was performed using the traditional multivariate linear regression statistical method and the AI convolutional neural network algorithm to investigate the application of quantitative ultrasonic technology for direct evaluation of muscle strength in clinical practice.
