Filter by:Purpose: To determine unmet functional needs in patients referred to the Palliative Care Unit at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital will be asked to fill out self reported questionnaires regarding problem intensity, problem burden and felt needs, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, sleep, distress. Furthermore patients physical function will be evaluated.
SUMMARY: (Objective, design, scope of the study, subjects of study, instrumentation, results, conclusions) Objectives: To evaluate if the physiotherapy treatment in pelvic floor dysfunctions, identified by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D, in postpartum improve the tone and functionality of pelvic floor. Design: Post-authorization, prospective, longitudinal randomized intervention study Scope: Full-term deliveries at the University Hospital. Subjects of study: Full-term primiparous and full-term pregnancies with pelvic floor lesion, identified by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D, which are randomized between the physiotherapy treatment of pelvic floor and the non-work. Variables: Primary variable: Assess the improvement in contractility / tone, evaluation by manometry and assess the anatomical improvement of the area of ?? the genital hiatus, stay by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D. Secondary variables: Identify the levator ani muscle injury rate, estimate the sonographic changes in the levator ani muscle through rehabilitation. Analyze the improvement of the symptoms associated with the public organic prolapse and evaluate the improvement of the quality of life. Data analysis: To detect a difference of 10% in the reduction of the size of the index between the study groups (not intervened / intervened) after 6 months of intervention, standard deviation 10%, Error-alpha 5%, Error- beta 10% (P90%) we need 23 women in each group. Assuming a loss of 10% in the follow-up, the final size would be 52 women, 26 per group.

India's poor tribal communities have far worse health and social indicators than the general population. Most tribal people live in remote forested or desert areas where illiteracy, trying physical environments, malnutrition, inadequate access to potable water, and lack of personal hygiene and sanitation make them more vulnerable to disease.The aim of Chhatralaya initiatives taken by Arsha Vidya, Jaipur was to address the exclusion of the socially and economically disadvantaged children of the tribes and to provide a fair opportunity to all.
The decline in physical function and strength was seen by the nature of aging. The older adults often complain of fatigue. For these reasons, proper rehabilitation approaches should be used to ensure healthy life and to keep the quality of life at the highest possible level by minimizing the decline seen with aging process. Exercise programs and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) are applied in rehabilitation to restore muscular strength and improve physical performance. NMES is used to prevent the atrophy of nonuse, to increase joint range of motion, to re-educate muscle, to regulate spasticity, to replace orthosis, to improve motor involvement of muscle fibers. Despite the use of NMES for strengthening in the clinics, the application parameters and methods should be discussed. The frequency, the pulse duration, the on / off time, the amplitude, the waveform of the current and the application time vary between the studies. For geriatric populations, it is recommended that the highest intensity, biphasic symmetrical currents with a frequency in the range of 50-100 Hz, for 100-400 μs, can be pulsed for ideal amplification. NMES is usually practiced by physiotherapists continuously for 20 minutes in to strengthen. However, in recent studies, it has been shown that continuous application of a single-session 100 Hz current for 20 minutes leads to intense fatigue and after a while the effect of the strengthening of the current has been removed. Therefore, intermittent applications have been proposed instead of continuous applications for 20 minutes. Considering the fragility and the presence of sarcopenia in the geriatric population, NMES applications should be preferred in which rest periods are given instead of continuous application for 20 minutes. In the literature, there is no study showing the effect of NMES on Quadriceps strength, fatigue and physical function by using quadriceps stimulation for 20 minutes using different stimulation periods.Therefore, in this study, will be investigated the possible effects of two different methods of NMES on Quadriceps strength, fatigue and physical function.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and prevalent joint disorder with great impact on quality of life and high economic burden. Although a number of conservative therapies have proven to be effective for the management of hand OA, only modest treatment effects were reported for most individual interventions. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the effect of laser therapy on pain, function and force in patients with carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA).
