Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about and monitor the cross-sectoral rehabilitation process in older high-risk patients treated for at fragility fracture of the hip. The main questions aim to answer: - how patients are doing up to one year after hip fracture surgery on different outcomes across the continuum of rehabilitation being offered - what expectations, experiences and satisfaction patients have for the overall rehabilitation process after a hip fracture Participants age 65 and above with home address in Frederiksberg municipality, living in own home, admitted and treated for at hip fracture at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Bispebjerg Hospital, will be asked for participation.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms behind gait disturbances during the early recovery phase after hemiparetic stroke to identify targets for new treatment strategies. Using an explorative, observational study design, pathophysiological mechanisms at play during the early recovery phase will be monitored, by repeated clinical assessments during inpatient rehabilitation as well as examinations of muscle activation patterns, kinematics of walking, corticospinal and reticulospinal function < 1 month, 3 and 6 months after hemiparetic stroke. Inclusion: Eligible patients will have suffered a stroke, verified by CT or MRI examination and are admitted to inpatient care at the University Department of Rehabilitation Medicine Danderyd Hospital (RUDS). Thirty patients will be included consecutively. With an anticipated loss of 4-10 patients, at least 20 are expected to complete the study. The clinical assessment protocols include standardized measures for the assessment of clinical and self-perceived aspects of functioning and disability. These assessments will be performed and repeated < 1 month, at 3 months and 6 months post-stroke by a therapist not responsible for rehabilitation interventions. At each of these assessment instances, laboratory movement analysis including electromyography (EMG) and ultrasound of the lower extremity muscle will be performed. In addition, a short assessment of body function and activity will be performed weekly during inpatient rehabilitation.
This study is a parallel group multicentre investigator-initiated clinical randomised controlled superiority trial that will include a total of 214 survivors of OHCA. Participants will to be randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio to either a intervention consisting of a comprehensive initiated tailored rehabilitation intervention focusing on supporting RTW plus usual care compared to usual care alone.
Sleep is critical for health and quality of life; however, little is known about the prevalence or impact of non obstructive sleep apnea (non-OSA) sleep disorders in people with stroke. The proposed study aims to characterize the proportion of people with stroke that have non-OSA sleep disorders and their impact on recovery of activities of daily living, functional mobility, and participation along the continuum of recovery in people with stroke.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the experience of Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation (PPFR) according to the information given by the health care providers. There is to improve medical practice and to give the right information in at the right time to the patient.
To investigate the effect of whole body vibration on upper limb motor function in hemiplegic patients with subacute stroke
The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effects of supervised exercise therapy and education on the immediate response to using a soft knee brace in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Basis: Evaluating Sirtuin Supplements To Benefit Elderly Trauma Patients (BES2T BET) A phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single institutional pilot trial investigating the impact of nicotinamide riboside/pterstilbene (BasisTM) on functional recovery after traumatic fall in elderly patients .
Upper limb recovery is not predicted by the initial severity of paralysis and the parameters reflecting the integrity of the corticospinal tract (e.g. motor evoked potential, fractional anisotropy in diffusion tensor imaging). Although the inhibition of the contralesional hemisphere is known to be beneficial for the upper limb recovery after stroke in previous studies, this is not proven in the severely paralyzed upper limb. And the studies using the noninvasive stimulation in subacute stroke is lack. In addition, the role of contralesional (unaffected) hemisphere is known to be playing the important role in severe stroke. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled studies, the patients with subacute stroke (<3 months after stroke onset), severe paralysis of the upper limb with poor prognosis (poor motor score and no response of motor evoked potential recorded in the extensor carpi radialis muscle) will be recruited. Interventional group will receive the 25 mins of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the contralesional premotor area plus 25 mins of robotic arm training per session for 10 sessions in 2 weeks. Control group will receive the same treatment except for sham tDCS instead of anodal tDCS over the contralesional premotor area. Functional outcome will be measured before and after the intervention (baseline, immediately after the intervention and 1 month after the intervention). Cortical activation pattern will be measured by the electroencephalography (EEG) at baseline and immediately after the intervention.
After a surgery, the recovery of the previous health status of patients, such as walk, body care, sleep, diet, feeling of comfort, is one of the priorities of the perioperative medicine. The QoR-15 was designed to measure quality of recovery after surgery. It provided a valid, extensive and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery. The primary objectives of this study is to translate the original QoR-15 questionnaire into French, and do a full psychometric evaluation of the French version. We will test its validity, reliability, responsiveness, and clinical acceptability and feasibility, with patients undergoing abdominal, orthopedic, […], gynecological surgery, in the University Hospital of Strasbourg. The secondary objectives will be to evaluate the quality of recovery of the patients who undergone surgery at Strasbourg University Hospital, and to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications occurring within three months postoperatively and a possible association with the QoR-15F.
