Filter by:The investigator aims to conduct an open pilot study (N=12; 10 completers) to test the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of an asynchronous web-based mind-body intervention (Toolkit for Resilient Life beyond Pain and Substance Use; Web-TIRELESS) for adult patients with a comorbidity of non-traumatic painful upper-extremity condition(s) (NPUC) and risky substance use. Deliverables: 1) Adapt and refine open pilot protocol, patient recruitment, and other study materials. 2) Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of Web- TIRELESS in preparation for a future feasibility RCT. Participants will complete 4 on-demand video sessions at their own pace (approximate pace of 1 session per week) and complete baseline and post-test assessments. participants may also partake in an exit interview to provide feedback on Web-TIRELESS to further refine the program and study protocol for future iterations.
Musculoskeletal problems related to instrument playing or performance are frequently seen in musicians. Different interventions such as strength training, endurance training and yoga have been used in the management of these problems. The first specific exercise program for professional orchestra musicians was developed by Chan et al. However, it has been stated that it is difficult to encourage musicians' participation in exercise due to their constantly changing work schedules, and at this point, the use of digital media such as DVDs, USBs, and educational exercise videos may have a potential role. On the other hand, it has been stated that smart wearable devices with mobile applications (such as smart watches, smart band) as digital health interventions are an interesting, interactive and efficient psychological strategy to promote physical activity and can be used as an intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle. Based on the literature, in our study, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be done online via "Google Meet" and symptoms can be evaluated with objective evaluation methods. Unlike other studies using digital media, exercises will be performed synchronously and feedback will be given to the musicians simultaneously, as in face-to-face exercises. In addition, all participants will be given a smart band, they will be encouraged to use it until the end of the study, and the change in their physical activity levels will be evaluated.
To conduct a pilot feasibility study to determine the effect of a student-led prehabilitation service in people awaiting total hip or knee replacement surgery.
This prospective observational study evaluates the relationship between the objective oral health status and the patient reported diet in 64 adult patients undergoing elective major orthopaedic surgery (hip, knee, or spine surgery).
Study of the osteoconductive potential of the injectable bone substitute In'Oss™ (MBCP® Putty) in the filling of orthopaedic bone defects to collect Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) data for the CE-marked In'Oss™ (MBCP® Putty) device in the orthopaedic trauma surgery
The aim of this observational study is to validate the content of a tailored ICF core set for the management of musculoskeletal conditions in primary care physiotherapy services. The main question it aims to answer is: - Are the ICF entities included in the ICF Core Set under evaluation useful from a clinical point of view? Participants will evaluate the relevance of each ICF entity included in the ICF core set according to their musculoskeletal condition.
The goal of this retrospective longitudinal observational study is to compare the effects of physical and mental performance as well as quality of life in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: Do very old patients benefit in a similar way from inpatient rehabilitation like younger patients? Data from about 2000 patients will be retrospectively analyzed. Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) were recorded on admission and discharge. Researchers will compare the age group 75 to 84 and 85 to 99 to see if physical and mental performance as well as quality of life will improve.
This study is designed to examine the effect of telerehabilitation application on the musculoskeletal system of drivers.The study will include 40 voluntary participants who work as drivers on inter-district routes in Sakarya. The participants' sociodemographic information, musculoskeletal problems, and postures will be assessed. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive tele-rehabilitation with posture and stabilization exercises, while the other group will serve as the control group. The exercises will be implemented for 10 weeks, followed by an 8-week tapering period, after which the groups will be crossed over. A re-evaluation will be conducted after 10 weeks, with follow-up assessments scheduled for 3 months later.
Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of disability worldwide. These conditions are often associated with chronicity, which is a challenge for healthcare systems to address. Health care must be person-centred and take into account the individual perspective from which the disease is experienced. The lived experience of health conditions depends to a large extent on contextual factors. Comparison between different contexts helps to identify which aspects are most relevant in the experience of the disease. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a unified language that allows such comparisons to be made. The aim of this study is to identify differences in musculoskeletal health between the Polish and Spanish populations using the ICF as a frame of reference.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant occupational health problem for dentists and have been linked to a decline in quality of life, often leading to stress-related illnesses and early retirement. Poor posture, poor movement or imbalances in the neck or shoulders can lead to the three most common pain syndromes in dentistry. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the working position adopted during an endodontic procedure and to determine the perception of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in first and second year students of the Master in Advanced Endodontics at the European University of Madrid (UEM), using the standardised Nordic Kuorinka questionnaire supplemented by a form with socio-demographic variables. This study has a descriptive cross-sectional observational design and included 10 students selected by convenience sampling. A video camera was used to record the procedures from three different angles for a maximum of 5 minutes. The information was processed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, and the video recordings were assessed using Rodgers' Muscular Fatigue Analysis (RMFA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA).
