Filter by:The aim of the study is to compare the effects of supervised exercises, video based exercises and control group on muscle strength, muscle endurance, pain and upper extremity function in dentists with musculoskeletal pain. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups: Supervised exercise group (SEG), video based exercise group (VEG) and control group (CG). Both SEG and VEG were given same exercises but SEG did the exercises with a experienced physiotherapist while VEG did it through videos 3 days a week for 12 weeks. CG was only given postural education.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Pompage associated or not with PBM, using a cluster of LEDs, on pain and neck disability. This controlled, randomized, and blinded clinical study includes participants of both genders, aged 18 to 55, with non-specific chronic neck pain will be included. Participants will be randomized into two groups: (1) Pompage (n=28) focusing only on manual therapy through Pompage technique and (2) Pompage + PBM Group (n=28) involving the same procedures as the first group, followed by PBM with a LED cluster applied for 10 minutes to the neck region for 10 sessions. Pain and functional disability will be assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Neck Pain Disability Index before and after the intervention. The resulting data will be submitted to statistical analysis considering α=0.05.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of muscle preliminary contraction in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. HYPOTHESIS: Muscle preliminary contraction has a significant short-term and long-term effect in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. RESEARCH METHODS: At least 216 patients with degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty, will be studied. They will be randomized into pairwise sub-groups. All will receive standard advice. The maneuver sub¬groups will receive additional advice - preliminary contraction of the muscles in the corresponding kinesiology segment. This advice will be embedded in all motor activities of daily living involving the relevant area. The following follow-up parameters will be used: visual analogue pain scale, manual muscle testing, goniometry, centimeter, and preliminary contraction success rate. Their follow-up will be threefold - at the beginning, after 1, and after 6 months. For statistical processing, multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA), with post hoc Bonferroni multiple tests, and Pearson correlation analysis, with post hoc regression analysis, will be used. CONCLUSION: The positive results will allow the preliminary muscle contraction to be used as a universal tool in the rehabilitation, prevention, and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty (international contribution). This maneuver is very short (seconds), easy (everybody can perform it), does not require the allocation of time, space, and resources (including financial ones), and is instantly incorporated into everyday life.
It was aimed to compare the eccentric exercise training given to the neck muscles of people with non-specific neck pain and the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique on pain, endurance and functionality.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of exercise against work-related musculoskeletal disorders in tea workers.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of a 12-session telerehabilitation program based on Specific Neck Exercises (SNE) with Spinertial to a control group on range of motion, cervical proprioception, and posture in subjects with forward head posture, post-intervention, after one month of follow-up, and after two months of follow-up.
The investigators are conducting a trial that evaluates the feasibility of telehealth group pain reprocessing therapy (PRT), with no comparison group, for the treatment of chronic back pain in a population of veterans. PRT is a psychotherapy for chronic pain that aims to help patients reconceptualize their pain as a non-dangerous signal. It has been shown to be effective in a previous RCT (n=151).
Spinal pain is frequently accompanied by other chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and the predicted rise in multimorbidity prevalence emphasizes the need for studies to understand its impact on patients with chronic pain conditions. Therefore the aims of the two studies are to: Work package 1 - Determine prevalence of multimorbidity among patients with spinal pain referred to hospital outpatient clinics. Examine associations with relevant health-related factors and cover the significance of multimorbidity in the diagnostic process, referral patterns and healthcare utilization. Work package 2: Examine the association between treatment burden arising from multimorbidity and patient prognosis in structured rehabilitation. Across both work packages data will be derived from individuals initially referred to the Department of Rheumatology at Aalborg University Hospital (AaUH) or the Medical Spine Clinic in Silkeborg (MSCS).
Non-specific neck pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptom which can cause limited cervical mobility, impaired functional status and stress at work. Virtual reality and motor imagery are unique technologies which have beneficial effects on the treatment of non-specific neck pain. Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a virtual surrounding while motor imagery (MI) is a dynamic mental process of an action, without its actual motor execution. This study aims to investigate the combined effects of Virtual Reality (VR) and Motor Imagery Techniques (MI) with Routine Physical Therapy (RPT) in patients with Non-specific neck pain. This randomized clinical trial will be carried at Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi on 93 participants meeting the inclusion criteria included in the study through probability convenience sampling technique. 3 groups of participants assigned ramdomly will receive interventions for three days a week for 6 weeks. Group A will receive virtual reality (VR) and motor imagery (MI) along with routine physical therapy for . Group B participants will receive VR along with routine physical therapy while Group C will receive MI along with routine physical therapy. Total treatment time will be 40 minutes. Outcome measure tools will be Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain, the Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) for the measurement of kinesiophobia and Neck disability index for disability and functional status.
Mobilisation with movement (Mulligan Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAG)). method has been shown to have significant effects on pain, joint range of motion, and functionality in patients with neck pain. However, there is a lack of studies examining the effects of this technique on muscle stiffness associated with neck pain. Considering the immediate effects of a single session of lumbar SNAG application on lumbar muscle stiffness in patients with low back pain, it raises curiosity about the effects it would have on cervical spinal segments and surrounding muscles. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of Mulligan SNAG application on muscle stiffness, pain, and joint range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.
