Filter by:The goal of this study [type of study: clinical trial] is to was planned to investigate the effect of motor imagery training given to geriatric individuals with action observation on their balance performance and to compare these two methods. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving static balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 2. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving dynamic balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 3. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in increasing balance confidence than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 46 geriatric individuals will be randomized into 2 groups. Along with action observation, motor imagery training and virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the study group. On the other hand, only virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the control group. All assessments will be repeated before and after the trainings. The trainings will be applied 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Each training session; 25 minutes for the control group and 45 minutes for the study group.
Postural control methods are impaired in people with chronic low back pain. While the person maintains balance with pain relief, fear of movement and pain increase with loss of balance. It was found that externally focused exercises are more effective than internal focus exercises in terms of motor control and motor learning. To investigate the place of externally focused balance exercises in conservative treatment of target low back pain. For this purpose, approval was obtained from the clinical research ethics committee of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Medicine, with the decision numbered 2022-18/163.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a lokomat training on gait performance in Saudi females with stroke. Design: A-Single blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: 28 females patients with stroke will be enrolled in this thesis (6-12 months after stroke); the patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups of 14. Robotic-assisted gait training group (RG) will receive Lokomat gait training and conventional physiotherapy, while the other group is a control group (CG) will receive conventional physiotherapy. Duration of treatment will be 3 months. The lower limb joint range of motion, Balance, activities of daily living, walk speed, muscle tone of the lower limbs will be recorded before and after treatment and will compared between both groups.
This study evaluates if a multi-component intervention, respecting the characteristics of frail older person and increasing intensity and challenge of exercises according to frail older person capacity/evolution will induce better functional results than a multi-component intervention specific to lower body. the volunteers will be randomized into experimental group and control group.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects generated by the application of three different packs on the flexibility of the lower back of sedentary students. Method: Three sessions of 15 minutes of superficial heat through a hot pack (moist heat pack-MHP, seed pack-SP or gel pack-GP) were applied on the lower back. Pack and lower back temperatures and erythema were registered every 5 minutes. Schober test was performed before first session and after the third session.
