Filter by:60 healthy participants with right / left upper trapezoidal shortness based on volunteering will be included in the study. Participants were randomly divided into 4 groups; Traction and stretching exercises to group 1 (n = 15), laser therapy and stretching exercise to group 2 (n = 15), hot pack and stretching exercises to group 3 (n = 15), and group 4 (control group) only stretching exercises will be applied.
Web-based physiotherapy might improve care following knee arthroscopy. For this study half of the participants will receive usual care (printed leaflet) and half will receive 6 weeks of web-based physiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of pilates exercise by training the muscles responsible for core stabilization in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLPB); considering pain, functional level, depression, quality of life, and muscle thickness measured by Ultrasound Imaging and to compare it with home based exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, randomized-single blinded study included 60 female patients with CNLBP aged 18-60 years. Patients were randomized into 2 groups. The first group (n=30) performed pilates 3 days/week for 8 weeks. Sessions lasted about one hour and supervised by a pilates trainer. The second group (n=30) was given home exercise program 3 times/week for 8 weeks, each session lasting one hour. The evaluations were made both at the beginning and end of the treatment. Evaluation parameters included VAS (visual analogue scale), Oswestry Disability Index, Qubec Disability Scale, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Beck Depression Questionnaire, sit and reach test, Modified Schöber test, sit up test. Multifidus and abdominal muscle thickness were measured by Ultrasonographic Imaging.
Introduction: Core stability exercises and treadmill training play a crucial role in physical therapy interventions and have an effect on balance in children with Down syndromes (DS), whether core stability exercises or treadmill training has more effect on improve balance has not been investigated yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of core stability training versus treadmill exercises on balance in children with Down syndrome. Methods: Forty-five children with Down syndrome included in the study. The children aged 4-6 years, and they were equally divided randomly into three groups (A), (B) and (C). Group A received traditional physical therapy intervention strategies to facilitate the balance of participated children. Group (B) received same as the group (A), with additional core stability exercises training. Group (C) received same intervention strategies as group (A) in conjunction with a treadmill exercise program. The children's balance was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale and the Biodex Balance System. Treatment sessions were for 60 min, thrice a week, for eight consecutive weeks.
The aim of the present study was to examine balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients with incontinence. Clinical symptoms of the MS patients are heterogenous, and they vary according to the lesion levels and the duration and the type of the disease. In the neurologic group,especially in MS patients, incontinence is observed even at early stages. Pelvic floor muscles contribute to continence by stabilizing the bladder neck and increasing the intraurethral pressure. Furthermore, they mechanically support the spine and the pelvis.This mechanical support is attained through an increase in sacroiliac joint stiffness and intra-abdominal pressure changes, which are important for spinal control. Along with incontinence, this mechanical support deteriorates resulting in some problems. By this way, postural function of pelvic floor muscles may alter in individuals with incontinence, and thus, lumbopelvic stabilization may be negatively affected. In addition, the activity of trunk muscles changes in individuals with incontinence, which may result in spinal movement and affect the posture. Therefore, balance disorders may develop. Postural sways caused by balance disorders and the decrease in postural corrections have been listed among risk the factors associated with falling. When literature is examined, there exists no study examining the effects of incontinence on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients. For all these reasons, investigators think that incontinence in MS patients has an effect on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of fall.
This Study evaluates the effectiveness of a Vojta locomotion reflex program as short-term automatic postural control in patients with Multiple sclerosis
This study is to investigate whether combination of ultrasound-guided subdeltoidcorticosteroid injection and physiotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone in treatment of patients with chronic subacromial (or subdeltoid) bursitis (SAB).
The purposes of this study is to investigate the relationship between upper extremity muscle function and shoulder position sense in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and which best projects the disability status. Upper extremity dysfunction is considered to be the main cause of the loss performance of activities of daily living and this problem was include all motor and somatosensory components of function. Any failure in each of these components will likely create an impairment in the normal function. One of the most important components of the somatosensory system is joint position sense, a sub-modality of proprioception. Position sense disorders are seen from the early stages of the disease and upper extremity function problems is experienced depending on position sense disorders in patients with MS. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is one of the most commonly outcome measures in evaluating the level of disability in MS population. Because EDSS scale emphasis on ambulation, so it is insensitive to upper extremity function. But the ability to use walking aids (e.g., canes, walkers, wheelchairs, etc.) may be affected by the UE impairment so shoulder position sense. When literature is examined, there is no study which examines the relationship between upper extremity muscle function and shoulder position sense in patients with Multiple Sclerosis and which best projects the disability status. For all these reasons, we think that shoulder position sense is changed both dominant and non-dominant side during flexion and abduction movements in mild-moderate MS patients and that these deficits are correlated with upper extremity function and disability level.
Respiratory functions and body control are affected in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Because of this effect, the dependency of individuals increases in daily living activities and their quality of life decreases. We think that respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and trunk control affect vital mobility as well as vital importance for individuals with MS. As a result of the investigations, it is concluded that the literature is insufficient in this area. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and trunk control on functional mobility in individuals with MS and compare with healthy individuals.
Erosive arthritis (EA) is an unusual pathology. There is no definitive treatment and the conventional one has little efficacy. Despite using magnetotherapy (MGT) as a treatment, there is no evidence supporting its use.
