Filter by:Conventionally, physical therapy (PT) clearance is sought before total joint arthroplasty (TJA) discharge. However, PT staffing limitations may preclude same-day discharge in patients having surgery late in the day. Failed same-day discharge in eligible TJA patients results in unnecessary hospital bed occupancy, which increases costs, limits operating room throughput for patients requiring inpatient admission, and introduces risks associated with longer length-of-stay. In collaboration with an institutional PT department, the investigators developed a protocol for discharging same-day TJA patients without postoperative PT clearance. Immediately preoperatively, PT administers gait training. Patients are then discharged home after ambulating with post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurses trained by PT on postoperative mobilization. This allows for the maximum number of patients discharged home, including the last patient of the day, PT staffing limitations notwithstanding. Single-institution pilot data demonstrates no increased risk of falls, emergency room (ER) visits, or readmissions with this process. The investigators propose a prospective, controlled, multicenter study to expand on pilot data. The study aim is to assess safety of day-of-surgery preoperative PT and postoperative ambulation with PACU nursing before TJA discharge. The primary endpoint is postoperative falls, while secondary endpoints include 90-day ER visits, 90-day hospital readmissions, patient-reported outcome measures, and patient satisfaction scores.
This is a trial comparing self-directed rehabilitation using the Zimmer Biomet mymobility digital platform versus standard office-based physical therapy after reverse shoulder replacement. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in the postoperative outcomes between the mymobility cohort and the standard office-based physical therapy cohort.
In this study, it was aimed to determine whether dry needling treatment applied to the trigger points in the trapezius muscle in patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical spondylosis makes an additional contribution to the treatment results of the physical therapy and rehabilitation program.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test automated text messaging as an effective behavior change intervention in physical therapy patients. The main purpose of this study was to trial sleep hygiene education for improving physical therapy patients' sleep through the use of daily automated text messaging. Researchers will compare two groups to see if the intervention group which consisted of participants getting daily automated text messages for sleep hygiene tips would be effective in improving sleep, health, pain, and function compared to a group that is receiving traditional physical therapy alone.
Motorized traction and non-surgical spinal decompression treatments are relatively new treatments for which there is insufficient evidence in the literature. In this study investigators aimed to retrospectively compare the effectiveness of these treatments, which are in the field of their routine practice in their clinic.
The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between trunk control and balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and to compare trunk control, balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy older adults. Balance, an essential motor skill necessary to perform both static and dynamic everyday activities with stability and security, is impaired in people with Alzheimer's disease when compared to cognitively preserved elderlies. Gait and functional mobility disorders are also observed in people with Alzheimer's disease from the early period of the disease. People with Alzheimer's disease tend to fall more often and are more seriously injured from falls than cognitively intact older adults. The annual incidence rate for falling is 60% to 80% for older adults with Alzheimer's disease, over twice the incidence of age-matched cognitively intact older adults. Trunk control is shown among the most important factors that ensure the balance and walking of the individual in different environments and conditions during functional activities. Optimal trunk control relies on adequate somatosensory, motor, and musculoskeletal systems, which are frequently compromised in people with Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, the investigators think that trunk control may be affected in people with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy older adults and may be related to balance, gait, functional mobility and fear of falling.
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of STABL rehabilitation vs in-person rehabilitation following meniscectomy or synovectomy. STABL is a digital health platform that uses computer-vision technology to facilitate at-home post-op recovery for patients while enabling remote monitoring by their surgeon.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is considered a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child's brain is under development. CP primarily affects body movement and muscle coordination. Robot assisted gait training (RAGT) is considered to be a promising approach for improving gait related gross motor function of children and youth with CP. There is weak and inconsistent evidence regarding the use of RAGT for children with gait disorders. Further research is required with increased numbers and with relevant outcome measures to both confirm the effectiveness and clarify training schedules. The aim of this research project is to investigate the effectiveness of robot assisted gait training on improvements of functional gait parameters in children with cerebral palsy.
WHO has reported the heavy disease burden of psychiatric disorders. Due to the unsatisfactory effect of pharmacotherapy, physical therapy has attracted extensive attention as a complementary therapy. However, few large sample real-world studies are exploring its efficacy. This study intends to explore the efficacy of physical therapy in different types of mental disorders, which is meaningful for the formulation of personalized treatment plans.
The home confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has aroused the need to use telematic communication systems to provide remote treatments. More and more research is being done on preoperative respiratory physiotherapy in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with lung cancer. It is a treatment that has great relevance in the prevention of postoperative complications and in the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, this study is proposed to highlight the applicability of a telematic system of preoperative physiotherapy treatment with the FISSIOS application at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP).
