Filter by:All stroke patients were assessed via isokinetic dynamometer, Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA) and Fugl Myer Upper extremity (FMUE) before and after the treatment program.
In patients with heart failure, diaphragm dysfunction contributes to decreased quality of life while simultaneously increasing morbidity and mortality. Inspiratory muscle weakness is observed in 30-50% of patients, with the severity of weakness increasing as the disease progresses. Patients exhibit reduced exercise capacity, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, decreased respiratory function, increased dyspnea, fatigue, and worsened quality of life. However, it is unclear how these parameters will change in patients with inspiratory muscle weakness. Therefore, the study aimed to compare functional exercise capacity, pulmonary function, peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea, fatigue, quality of life and physical activity level in heart failure patients with and without inspiratory muscle weakness and healthy controls
Aims: To investigate the effects of upper extremity robotic rehabilitation on upper extremity skills and functional independence level in patients with hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (hCP). Methods: 34 hCP patients attended the study. 17 children in the training group recived conventional physiotherapy and Robotic Rehabilitation. 17 children in the control group recived only conventional physiotherapy. Convantional physiotherapy program lasted 45 minutes, Robotic Rehabilitation program lasted 30 minutes. All participants were enrolled in sessions 3 times a week for 5 weeks. Measurements were made before and after the therapy. Outcome measures were Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for muscle tone, Abilhand-Kids Test for manual skills, The Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) for upper extremity motor function and The WeeFIM for functional independence level.
Pelvic floor muscle weakness is one of the most important causes of incontinence. There are many studies supporting that pelvic floor muscle training prevents incontinence and reduces symptom severity, and with A level of evidence, it is among the first in the conservative treatment of incontinence. Functional status and balance problems are common in elderly people with incontinence, and it is known that functional type incontinence is common. Elderly people with incontinence most often fall while trying to get to the toilet. Balance exercises are recommended for falls and balance problems. The aim of this study is to examine whether pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) combined with Otago exercises is effective on symptoms, balance and functional status in elderly people with UI living in nursing homes, compared to PFMT alone.
Patients with upper limb hemiplegia after stroke, who were admitted in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, were enrolled. The study lasted 30 days for each participant. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, all under routine rehabilitation therapy. Additionally, the patients in the experimental group were given modified mirror therapy. On day 1 and day 30, patients' Upper Limb function were compared.
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.
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.
To Compare effects of action observation and motor imagery training on upper limb function in chronic stroke patients.
In chronic hemiparesis, abnormal antagonist muscle activation in the paretic lower limb contributes to impair ambulation capacities. A biased estimate of antagonist muscle activation when using surface bipolar EMG compared with high-density (HD) EMG has been previously reported in healthy subjects. The present study compares muscles cocontraction at the paretic ankle estimated with a pair of and multi-channel surface EMG.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to learn about the effect of therapeutic climbing in hemiplegic children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does climbing affect muscle strength and tone? What is its connection between normative data drawn from healthy children? How can it affect balance? Participants (children) will be asked to complete an series of movements used in sports climbing, such as inside-flag, back-flag and horizontal traverse, while hanging on an in-door climbing wall.
