Filter by:This prospective, observational cohort pilot study compared pain phenotyping and functional measures in 30 participants with non-acute neck and/or shoulder girdle pain consistent with primary myofascial pain at 3-months following a physical therapy referral to study the impact of their baseline degree of pain amplification.
The 6-minute walk test is a test of physical performance in physiotherapy with lungs and heart patients (Pollentier 2010). However, only 8 and 11% of patients in everyday test situations report a score of 7 or higher on a scale of 0-10 for effort (Jehn 2009). This study is intended to explore, based on grounded theory, why the majority of patients do not assess themselves according to the almost maximum performance.
Knee arthroscopy results in significant improvements in functional outcomes, pain relief and quality of life for patients suffering from mechanical symptoms associated with meniscal tears. Patients are able to return to their activities of daily living, occupation, or sport without significant limitations. Traditionally, patients have undergone formal physical therapy (PT) after knee arthroscopy to regain function. There is a significant cost and time commitment associated with traditional outpatient physical therapy. An internet based therapy program allows patients to perform therapy at home on their own time schedule. A recent study demonstrated that patients who undergo internet based PT after total knee arthroplasty performed as well patients receiving traditional physical therapy. These findings have not been studied in the knee arthroscopy patient population. The goal of this study is to compare traditional outpatient physical therapy rehabilitation to Internet-based rehabilitation in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for partial meniscectomy. The purpose of this study is to compare functional outcome, and patient satisfaction, internet-based rehabilitation program vs. standard outpatient physical therapy after unilateral knee arthroscopy for meniscal tear.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the process experienced by physiotherapists while providing rehabilitation services during the epidemic and to investigate the procedures adopted by physiotherapists who are currently working. In addition, by analyzing the effects of both the pandemic and the clinical and educational organizations in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinics where physiotherapists were working during the COVID-19 epidemic, the needs arising after the pandemic can be reported. Assessments will be carried out by researcher physiotherapists through a questionnaire based on research and examples in the literature, and scales measuring anxiety, depression and stress levels. The measurement tool will be the online survey application.
The aim of the study was to examine the effect of GRAVITY system therapy on chronic disc-related pain in lumbar spine. Investigators made a hypothesis that patients who regularly perform core strengthening exercises based on gravity system will decrease pain and disability, and increase muscle strength in higher extent comparing to control group, that receive passive physical therapy.
This study compares between neurodynamic mobilization and stretching exercises in treatment of chronic dicogenic sciatica
Loss of vestibular function occurs normally with healthy aging but can produce symptoms that reduce motor skills and cause falls. vestibular physical therapy (VPH) exercises are a specific approach to reducing imbalances. The multicomponent therapeutic physical exercise (ME) is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for the improvement of physical condition. Objective: to determine the efficacy of ME versus VPH for gait improvement. Material and method: a randomized clinical trial was carried out with two intervention groups , applying it to one VPH group and the other ME. The participants were residents of Geriatric Centers in the province of Seville, Spain with a score between 4 and 9 points according to the "Short Physical Performance Battery" scale (SPPB).
Children with CP encounter swallow and feeding impairments, especially in infancy and childhood with long meal times with late development of oral motor skills resulting in poor growth.
The effect of combination of hydrodilatation, corticosteroid injection, and joint mobilization for treatment of frozen shoulder, compared with general physical therapy.
Problems such as breathlessness, exercise intolerance and loss of peripheral muscle strength can be observed in individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID19 and have been discharged. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation physical therapy intervention to these cases by using videoconferencing method on the physical condition of the cases.
