Filter by:Accidental falls in older adults are one of the world's major pubic health problem, because of their strong association with injuries and mortality rates. In Quebec, falls are responsible for a high rate of hospitalization (more than 1800 emergency department visits every day) and deaths (more than 10,000 in recent years). Preventing falls is therefore a key mission for health professionals. This research program aims to develop a new clinical approach to the rehabilitation management of the older with a neuro-musculoskeletal disorder and a risk of falling. This program is part of a new partnership project between UQAC and specialized geriatric services at the CIUSSS Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean (La Baie site). These geriatric services admit more than 400 new patients per year, representing a large pool of participants for the new program's development. Specifically, this program has 4 phases: 1) Create a clinical profile of patients in rehabilitation care from specialized geriatric services (ex: reasons for consultation, neuro-musculoskeletal disorders, rates and causes of falls, etc.); 2) to diagnose functional deficits of these patients on different dimensions of functional and physical evaluations, using standardized tests and high-tech instruments (ex: platform of force); 3) determine the effectiveness of a new exercise intervention program (OTAGO) for falls prevention; and 4) Measure client and professional team satisfaction as well as long-term impact of this new approach used to prevent falls. The most significant impact of this new program will be to reduce public health expenditure for care of older adults with balance disorder and risk for falls; and therefore, be implanted in other CIUSSS institutions from Quebec.
Summary: Low back pain is the leading cause of deficiency and loss of productivity worldwide. No evidence of any particular exercise was more effective than another for treating nonspecific low back pain. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of two resistance training protocols, with different techniques for performing lower limbs exercises, in improving vertebral posture and reducing symptoms of low back pain. Methods: Randomized parallel clinical trial with two arms: Restricted Group (GR) performed all squat and Stiff exercises with neutral vertebral posture and the Complete Group (CG) performed the same exercises prioritizing the complete range of motion. Both groups had a 12-week intervention with 36 resistance training sessions. This study was conducted between November 2020 and April 2021 in Goiás (Brazil). Thirty-two participants aged 18 to 69 years with nonspecific low back pain were recruited in the extension project of the Faculty of Physical Education and Dance of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), at the Hospital das Clínicas - UFG and at the Campos Samambaia Health Center. To ensure blindness, participants did not know why the technique of movement between them was different. The movement technique was monitored by one teacher per participant throughout the training and cannot be altered by participants at risk of compromising the results. Spinal posture was evaluated by three-dimensional reconstruction and posture quantification using dynamic posture software and pain symptoms were evaluated by the Brief Pain Inventory and Rolland Morris Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed in the Software SPSS and MATLAB. The Shapiro-Wilk and Bartlett tests were used to confirm the normal distribution and similar variances in the distribution of the data. The other quantitative and qualitative variables were analyzed by nonparametric statistical methods. Quantitative data with normal distribution were reported by means of means and standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, and the other data by median, interquartile range, minimum and maximum values. The pre-intervention conditions of the groups were compared by independent t-test. Two-way ANOVAs (groups X time) were used for group intervention effect comparisons for quantitative data variables with normal distribution. Significance level of 5%. The size of the effect of the results will be calculated using cohen's test.
Background: Attention and awareness towards MSDs in the dental profession has increased considerably in recent years. From recent literature reviews, it is learned that prevalence of MSDs in dentists is 64-93%. It has been seen that the use of magnification systems not only improves the operator's visual capabilities, but also allows for a more correct posture, and to prevent the onset of back and neck disorders. Purpose and methods: Evaluate dentist posture during extraction of third lower molars depending on whether the operator uses the naked eye, surgical loupes or surgical microscope systems. Data will be evaluated through the index RULA (rapid upper limb assesment) to define whether there is a change in exposure to the risk of MSDs (Muskoloskeletal disease) and using fiducial markers for the movement analysis of the operator during the procedure.
Introduction: An inappropriate posture in children for a while kept playing some instrument of the group of the rubbed string, can cause pain and alterations of the spine, as it continues to consolidate. Objective: To study the benefits acquired during the application of the Pilates Method combined with therapeutic exercise against the Therapeutic Exercise to reduce alterations of the vertebral rachis in children from 10 to 14 years old who play instruments of rubbed strings.
This is a randomized controlled study to determine if patients between the ages of 18-50 years, with posture related low back pain, who use the Upright device demonstrate improved pain control and self perception of posture compared to those given standard ergonomic instruction.
Pretending with the use of accelerometers and pressure platform, determine indicators that are useful to therapists to assess postural control and balance, to subsequently allow to evaluate the effect of therapeutic interventions through therapeutic exercise of motor control in patients with chronic low back pain .
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the fixed combination of orphenadrine, acetaminophen, caffeine and diclofenac sodium is more effective in the treatment of an acute episode of mechanical postural low back pain than Voltaren®. Will be randomized 110 participants of both sexes, aged 18 years or older and less than 65 years of age with an acute episode of mechanical postural low back pain and they will be allocated to one of two treatment groups: Group 1: Fixed combination of orphenadrine, acetaminophen, caffeine and diclofenac sodium; or Group 2: Voltaren®
