NCT ID: NCT06275048 Recruiting - Rehabilitation Clinical Trials

The Influence of Oral Contraceptives During Disuse

Start date: January 26, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Studies across various sports and physical activities have consistently shown that females incur more injuries compared to their male counterparts, but the underlying reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood. While differences in hormone levels between males and females have been speculated to play a role, very little rigorous research has been conducted to directly examine potential connections between sex hormones and injury risk. Specifically, females have been shown to be at greater risk for hand and wrist injuries. The higher injury incidence begins at puberty and persists across the lifespan, suggesting a link to hormonal factors. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the relationships between the menstrual cycle, exogenous hormones from birth control, and risk factors for sports-related injury in females. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle strength and neuromuscular activation among females using monophasic oral contraceptives, females not using oral contraceptives, and males during one week of wrist/hand immobilization.

NCT ID: NCT06262087 Recruiting - Rehabilitation Clinical Trials

The Combined FIFA 11+ and Change of Direction Training

Start date: February 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study has investigated the effects of adding change of direction (COD) training to the FIFA 11+ on lower extremity performance in soccer players. The investigators are interested in knee valgus angle during cutting which is typically suggested as a critical risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Peak knee valgus angle during cutting is expected to reduce immediately after adding COD training to the FIFA 11+.

NCT ID: NCT06170385 Not yet recruiting - Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Pediatric Early Rehabilitation in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

PEACE
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid in-person and virtual individualized physiotherapy program using the Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL-ME) online platform for children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We would like to know if this type of hybrid program delivery model is feasible, and if children and their parents are willing and able to participate in the program. We will do this by recording how many, and what type of physiotherapy sessions (in-person or virtual) are completed, what resources offered on the platform are accessed, and how many children complete the assessments.

NCT ID: NCT06089213 Completed - Elderly Clinical Trials

Strategies for Preventing Falls in the Elderly

Telehealth
Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fall incidents are the third cause of chronic disability in the elderly, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Recent reviews demonstrate that multifactorial and multicomponent intervention programs are effective in preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. However, the application of these programs may not be accessible to a large part of the elderly population. The lack of continuity in the treatment of the consequences of falls, as well as the dissemination of prevention measures for this patient profile, could be minimized through the use of information and communication technologies. Method: This will be a randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the effects of two fall prevention strategies via telerehabilitation for elderly fallers after admission to an emergency room. It will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team with interventions for eight weeks and monitoring of outcomes over a period of four months. Patients will be evaluated regarding aspects of functionality in the second and month after the interventions and regarding the recurrence of falls during the four-month period. Discussion: The hypothesis is that the programs are viable in terms of accessibility to home training. However, to date, there is no evidence about the differences between these forms of interventions to prevent falls via telecare.

NCT ID: NCT06080763 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Osteoarthritis, Knee

Biomechanics and Clinical Outcomes in Responders and Non-Responders

Start date: September 5, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects many older adults. However, not all patients see improvements as a result of physical therapy management; therefore, a better understanding of biomechanics and assessment of clinical outcomes between responders and non-responders is required. The included participants will be provided with informed consent and an explanation of the study procedure before enrolling in data collection. The data collection will be arranged in the same order. Practice trials will be provided before the start of data collection. The data collection will consist of standardized questionnaires, assessments, and tests commonly used in clinics.

NCT ID: NCT06056180 Recruiting - Healthy Aging Clinical Trials

The Effect of Motor Image Training on Balance Performance in Geriatric Individuals

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05915156 Completed - Rehabilitation Clinical Trials

Transition in Care From Post-acute Services for the Elderly in Quebec

PAHP
Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

An early discharge of frail elderly individuals from post-acute care services may lead to a decline in their ability to perform daily activities and cause social, emotional, and psychological distress. Montreal West Island Integrated University Health and Social Services Center in Quebec implemented a pilot program called Post-Acute Home Physiotherapy (PAHP) to address this concern. This program aimed to provide a timely and intense out-patient physiotherapy service to ensure maintenance and optimization of the physical capacities acquired in post-acute care and also to contribute acceleration of the turnover of rehabilitation beds. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the PAHP program on the functional independence, physical and mental health of elderly individuals, as well as their safety. Additionally, it aimed to identify the healthcare needs, both physical and psychological, of elderly individuals after their discharge from post-acute care services.
