Filter by:Urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy surgery is a common condition that negatively affects daily life. Patients often experience discomfort due to urine leakage and the resulting need to use pads daily. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology used therapeutically in patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.
The goal of this evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises on sexual function in women of reproductive age. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a sample of women of reproductive age, 77 women were randomly assigned to control (n=39) and training (n=38) groups. A form including questions regarding socio-demographic characteristics and the Female Sexual Function Index was applied to all women included in the study. Pelvic floor exercise training was given to the women in the training group and the Female Sexual Function Index was applied to both groups in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months. The differences between those who received and those who did not receive training and the effects of regular pelvic exercise on sexual function were evaluated by month. Research Hypotheses H1: Sexual function scores of women of reproductive age who regularly perform pelvic floor muscle exercises are higher than those who do not exercise. H2: Sexual function scores are higher for those who regularly exercise their pelvic floor muscles for at least two months
MEDLINK IS A POCKET-SIZED MEDLINK is a pocket-sized, verbally interactive, programmable medical device that allows physicians to select which medical measurements they would like to take for a specific patient. The Physiological Parameters that can be measured by MEDLINK include, but is not limited to: Electrocardiography (ECG), Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Blood Glucose, Pulse Rate, Blood Oxygen Saturation (SPO2), Electromyography (EMG) body temperature, and Respiratory Data. MEDLINK is a pocket-sized, verbally interactive, programmable medical device that allows physicians to select which medical measurements they would like to take for a specific patient. When the patient takes MEDLINK home and switches it on, the device verbally guides the patient to acquire the measurements requested by the his or her physician. This information is transmitted to the physican's email for medical analysis, check up and/or follow up. This Study was executed by TWO (2) MEDICAL CONSULTANTS: Dr. Michael Olawuyi (mgolawuyi@gmail.com) and Dr, Matthew Olawuyi (olawuyiracettnigerialtd@outlook.com)
the specific effect of IMT on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness during weaning remains unclear. To address this significant research gap, the primary objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of IMT after extubation on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal muscle thickness in respiratory ICU patients. On the other hand the investigators established reference values for ultrasonographic measurements in healthy control subjects as a comparative arm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value.
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether there is a decrease in muscle mass and the relationship between lower extremity skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength and disease activity in Ankylosing spondylitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a relationship between the muscle thickness and pennation angle of the quadriceps, Gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis, Vastus medialis and lateralis and tibialis anterior muscles with disease activity and muscle strength? - Are there any differences in the results of morphological parameters of lower extremity muscles between Ankylosing spondylitis and voluntary participants? Researchers will compare voluntary participants to see if any difference in lower muscle morphological parameters.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the physiological and molecular effects of exercise training in transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can exercise training improve physical fitness and muscle strength in transplant recipients? 2. Can exercise training modulate inflammatory profile, hormones, lipid profile, and exercise-induced molecules in transplant recipients? 3. Can exercise training improve blood pressure and endothelial health in transplant patients? Participants will be invited to an exercise training program 6-month after their transplant surgery. Body composition, physical assessment, and blood draw will be assessed at baseline and 12-weeks after exercise or control regimen. Researchers will compare exercise group vs. routine care group to see if exercise training impact the health-related outcomes of this population.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the impact of a smartphone-based application on patient-reported outcomes for patients with pelvic floor muscle weakness, and the relationship of patient adherence to outcomes in pelvic floor physical therapy compared to the paper-based standard of care. An additional aim is the exploration and development of two patient-reported questionnaires to enhance understanding of exercise adherence in outpatient pelvic floor physical therapy and smartphone application self-efficacy. These goals will serve to improve practice recommendations for home exercise prescriptions in this patient population. Participants will be asked to complete 6 patient-reported outcome measures after they complete four, 60-minute long physical therapy treatment sessions conducted one time per week according to the current standard of care for pelvic floor physical therapy. The experimental group will be given a free pelvic floor muscle exercise application while the control group will be provided with the paper-based standard of care for their home exercise program.
The aim of this study is to investigate muscular activations during various quadriceps exercises commonly used in clinical settings.
Parallel-group, single-blinded controlled clinical trial. The study involved stroke patients (no more than 3 points on a scale Rankin) dived of the control group and experimental group. Control group received daily sessions of conventional physical therapy. In addition to the same conventional physical therapy treatment, the participants of the experimental group underwent repetitive upper limb Functional Proprioceptive Stimulations (FPS) sessions.
The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate and correlate muscle activation in the gluteal musculature and ankle stability in a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a significant positive correlation between gluteal muscle activation and ankle stability? Participants will complete questionnaires on the functionality of foot and ankle pathologies related to their daily life and sports activities, and perform specific physical tests to assess muscle strength, ankle stability, and activation of the lower extremity musculature.
