Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a biofeedback device (Loadsol) in training healthy subjects to comply with partial weightbearing, and to compare its outcomes with the standard of care training. Partial weightbearing is an essential component of rehabilitation and recovery for many orthopedic patients, yet it remains challenging for individuals to accurately gauge their weightbearing restrictions without proper guidance and feedback. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the use of the biofeedback device (Loadsol) can reduce the time it takes for healthy subjects to learn and comply with partial weightbearing, compared to traditional training methods. The Loadsol device provides real-time auditory feedback on the individual's weightbearing status, potentially enhancing the learning process and adherence to weightbearing restrictions. Secondary objectives of the study include: Assessing the compliance of subjects with weightbearing restrictions in both the biofeedback and standard of care training groups, and comparing the results to identify any significant differences in adherence to the prescribed weightbearing limitations. Evaluating subject satisfaction with the training methods, as measured through questionnaires and the use of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) tools. This evaluation will help determine if the biofeedback device (Loadsol) leads to higher levels of satisfaction among subjects compared to the standard of care training. By examining these objectives, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of using a biofeedback device in partial weightbearing training, and to establish whether its implementation can lead to improved outcomes in learning, compliance, and overall patient satisfaction.
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 aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy on pain and lower extremity function in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the Mulligan mobilization technique on pain intensity and range of motion individuals with neck pain. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 is the Mulligan Mobilization group and the second group is the control group.
Physiotherapy intervention programs in the post-stroke patient should develop strategies to assess functional deficit, prevent poorly adaptive plasticity and maximize functional gain. For relearning and functional training, the required activities require motor control and must comply with the following principles: movements close to normal, muscular activation, movement conduction, focused attention, repetition of desired movements, specificity of training, intensity and transfer. These principles underlie the most widely used conventional physiotherapy intervention programs in the hospital setting. Advances in technology have made it possible to start using immersive VR in the therapeutic approach to various pathologies that affect motor function.
Tears of the acetabular labrum appear to be common with the prevalence of asymptomatic tears in the general population approaching 66% and 70% based on cadaveric dissection and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. Despite this prevalence, there is no currently accepted justification for performing labral repair in an asymptomatic patient despite the many postulated biomechanical benefits that an intact labrum imparts to the hip joint. Representing a smaller proportion of all tears, symptomatic tears of the acetabular labrum present a therapeutic challenge. Current treatment modalities range from conservative measures to open surgical intervention. Conservative measures have typically included: activity modification, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy (PT), core strengthening and improvement of sensory motor control. In the past two decades, technological advances in the form of surgical instrumentation and traction devices have facilitated less invasive arthroscopic techniques to diagnose and treat hip problems and as such is now the preferred treatment modality for many orthopedic surgeons treating patients with hip pathology. Determining which patients, using age and arthritic burden as predictors, can benefit from labral repair is paramount for several reasons. Showing arthroscopic repair is of little or no benefit to a specific cohort can reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries performed, increase the use of conservative therapy (if validated) and reduce the interval between diagnosis and total hip replacement.
