Filter by:When choosing outcomes to assess rehabilitation's effect or progress, it is essential to consider the constructs being measured and their value to the patient and the psychometric properties. Choosing an outcome that reflects all aspects of International Classification levels of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is challenging, especially in heterogeneous groups. However, it is important to know the psychometric properties as this gives important knowledge on how to interpret results and, consequently, how this can inform the patient's care. The Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) questionnaire can reflect differences in patients' functional status with a broad range of disorders, like for elderly citizens undergoing municipality-based rehabilitation. Nevertheless, since there is no golden standard to measure rehabilitation outcomes, construct validity needs to be established to investigate how scores of SMFA can be related to measures on all levels of ICF. Therefore, this study has three main objectives: 1. To investigate how scores of the SMFA questionnaire are related to measures on different ICF levels 2. To describe the characteristics of older citizens starting municipality-based rehabilitation on all ICF levels 3. To investigate predictor variables of upper- and lower extremity strength
Acute Pain is one of the most frequent chief complaints and the main reason for visiting the Emergency Department (ED). The acute pain in the ED is largely prevalent across the country with recent literature demonstrating that 61-91% of patients are admitted to the ED due to a variety of acute painful syndromes. There is a lack of good options for pain control in such settings.
The current study examines the effects of exercise, ergonomic modifications, and rest breaks on fatigue and musculoskeletal discomfort during computer tasks. For the purpose of this project, musculoskeletal discomfort is defined as a constellation of signs and symptoms that include muscle tension, paresthesia, pain, and/or physical strain in soft tissues and bones.
Since TMJ and cervical pain incidence are rising and both structures are highly interrelated anatomically and functionally. And yet no standard protocol for TMD therapy The objective of this study is to state if there is a correlation between TMD and cervical dysfunction. To help reach a better diagnosis and a more holistic treatment. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 were recruited. Cervical ROM was measured in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and sidebending) by CROM device, and a 10 cm plastic ruler marked in both centimeters and millimeters was used to measure TMJ vertical opening.
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is the most common musculoskeletal injury in sports and the rate of CAI accounts for 85% of ankle injuries. It has been estimated that 23,000 ankle sprains occur each day in the United States, representing approximately 1 sprain per 10,000 people per day and nearly one in five ankle injuries result in chronic symptoms. Numerous researchers applied mindfulness for improving the performance of various sports such as table tennis, shooting, cricket, archery, golf, swimming, and cycling. Since many of the players do not possess effective pain coping skills, they are at risk for lifelong impairment of their emotional, social, and physical functioning. Mindfulness-centered interventions may well serve to mitigate pain-related disability. Training in mindfulness meditation improves anxiety, depression, stress, and cognition. Mindfulness-related health benefits are associated with enhancements in cognitive control, emotion regulation, positive mood, and acceptance, each of which have been associated with pain modulation. Since mindfulness has been proven effective in managing various health disorders and in enhancing sports performance, our study aims to apply the mindfulness approach in rehabilitating the most common sports injury, CAI. The improvement in CAI due to the mindfulness approach will be assessed by the improvement in pain response through the Cumberland ankle instability tool, Functional ankle disability index (FADI), Visual analog scale (VAS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Y-balance test, Mindfulness attention awareness score (MAAS), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) quantitative electroencephalography (Q-EEG). This study finding will be useful in assessing the effectiveness of mindfulness in rehabilitating CAI and identify the correlation of CAI pain response with VAS & BPI, quantitative electroencephalography - Q-EEG. In this clinical trial, the investigators wish to use noninvasive methods such as quantitative EEG (electroencephalogram) to find the brainwave patterns during the different stages of mindfulness intervention (pre and post). The outcome of this study will eventually lead to the identification of a better assessment method to indicate the pain response for the appropriate physiotherapy management. The application of mindfulness technique in CAI management and the usage of Q- EEG to assess the pain response in chronic ankle injury athletes are the novel approaches of this research study.
Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and its impact of quality of life and functional exercise capacity will be evaluated in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a single 15 mg intramuscular (IM) dose of ketorolac for analgesic non-inferiority versus a single 60 mg IM dose for the treatment of acute MSK pain in a military emergency department (ED) that services Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), and foreign military beneficiaries
Analyze the effectiveness of a multimodal circuit exercise program on chronic musculoskeletal pain and disability in older adults.
It is clear that low back pain (LBP) is a major challenge in our society, which can lead to severe disability in many individuals. Although there are several different treatments and approaches to help individuals with LBP, the number affected by this condition has been steadily increasing. OMT has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of LBP. In fact, the use of OMT has been shown to increase mobility of the lumbar myofascial tissues, visceral motion and decrease pain in patients with LBP. Bio Electro-Magnetic Regulation (BEMER) Therapy is a therapeutic modality that deploys a biorhythmically defined stimulus through a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), which leads to an increase in blood flow. The positive effects of BEMER on the circulation has been shown to result in significant increases in arteriovenous oxygen difference, number of open capillaries, arteriolar and venular flow volume, and flow rate of red blood cells in the microvasculature. Therefore, BEMER can potentially be used in the treatment of LBP by improving microcirculation in muscular tissue. In fact, BEMER with physiotherapy showed reductions in pain and fatigue acutely in patients with chronic low back pain. A systemic review of randomized controlled trials that investigated whether PEMF was effective in low back pain showed there was decrease in pain intensity and improved functionality in individuals with different low back pain conditions. Therefore, it is plausible that the combination of OMT and BEMER therapy may help increase circulation to myofascial structures that influence low back restriction and pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the individual and combined effects of OMT and BEMER therapy on low back pain.
Medical functional imagery seems to demonstrate that patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have cortical modifications that alter their motor (or mental) imagery capacities. Nowadays, the use of motor imagery exercises are used in conventional rehabilitation treatments. But, in clinical practice, no study has verified if patients with CRPS desmonstrate problems in their motor imagery capacities. The MIQ-RS (Motor Imagery Questionnaire - Revised Second) is a valid, reliable and translated into French questionnaire to measure patients' capacities to do mental imagery. In this study, we compare 3 groups of 50 patients : healthy patients, patients with CRPS and patients with musculoskeletal disorder without CRPS. Every patient will take the MIQ-RS for the right and left body side. We hypothesis that patients with CRPS have more deficit than the 2 others to realise motor imagery.
