Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the effects of home-based exercise on pain-related factors, postural control and early functional parameters in individuals undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Forty-four individuals with hip osteoarthritis were included in current study. Individuals were randomized as study group (n=23) and control group (n=21) by drawing lots. Individuals in the study group were followed up with a personalized home-based exercise program for 6 weeks. Individuals in the control group were followed up with an exercise training brochure. The exercise program of the individuals in the study group was checked at two-week intervals and adjustments were made in the exercise program. All individuals were evaluated before the operation, 2 weeks after the operation, and 12 weeks after the operation, and their data were recorded. Range of motion was measured with an inclinometer, muscle strength was measured with a hand dynamometer, joint position sense was measured with a target angle test, pain was measured with a visual pain scale, leg length was measured with a tape measure, and finally, the Q angle was measured with a goniometer. In addition to these,Tampa kinesiophobia scale, Oxford hip score and international physical activity scale were used. Timed up-and-go test was used to evaluate functional performance. Foursquare step test was used to evaluate balance, and finally, tetrax posturography device was used to evaluate postural control.
Introduction: Cerebrovascular damage (stroke) can generate motor or cognitive sequelae, making rehabilitation (such as the Pilates method) necessary to improve autonomy and quality of life. However, there are no studies on the efficacy of the method in the recovery of the upper limb and the improvement of autonomy after stroke. Methods: Randomized double-blind clinical trial with patients with stroke in semi-acute period, randomized into experimental group (EG) (conventional rehabilitation and Pilates) or control group (CG) (conventional rehabilitation). After randomization and initial evaluation, the intervention will begin (2 sessions per week, 3 months). After completion, there will be post-intervention assessment, and another one at 1 month. Intervention: The CG will receive 30 minutes of physical therapy and 30 minutes of occupational therapy. The SG will receive 20 minutes of physiotherapy, 20 minutes of occupational therapy and 20 minutes of Pilates. Assessment instruments: Mean Functional Independence; Functional Range Test; Timed 'Up and Go'; Nine Hole Peg Test; Box and Block Test; Arm, Shoulder and Hand Disabilities Questionnaire; Client Satisfaction Questionnaire.
The main aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on Plantar Pressure Distribution and Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-four patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group will teach basic elements. Patients' maintenance of posture during both static and dynamic conditions (Biodex Balance System SD), distribution of foot pressure (Baropedometric Platform), foot posture (Foot Posture Index), frontal-sagittal plan posture (PostureScreen Mobile Application), body symmetry (Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index and Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index), deformity perception (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22), spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
