Esophageal cancer imposes a significant burden in China, accounting for over 60% of the global disease burden. While surgery remains a common and highly effective treatment for esophageal cancer, patients often experience multiple physical and psychological symptoms postoperatively, severely affecting their recovery outcomes and quality of life. Although existing exercise or psychological intervention programs have shown some effectiveness, issues such as relatively singular intervention content, imprecise intervention timing, and vague intervention details persist. This project, based on previous research foundations (including the development of symptom measurement tools and the identification of key recovery periods), is guided by symptom management theory and knowledge translation models. Taking a perspective of the synergistic impact of physical and psychological symptoms, the study focuses on patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. Initially, evidence-based literature review, focus group interviews, and expert consultations were conducted to develop a combined exercise and psychological intervention program, integrating subjective (CSCA_EC) and objective (6MWT) measurement indicators, named "Recovery For EC." Subsequently, the program was preliminarily applied in clinical settings using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative quasi-experimental design (108 cases) and qualitative interviews to assess its acceptability. The final clinical trial version of the Recovery For EC program was developed to provide patients with a tool for self-monitoring recovery outcomes and offer clinical healthcare professionals guidance for implementing precise and personalized rehabilitation management.
There is a lack of effective therapies for hand and finger function recovery in people with chronic stroke. This study assessed the effects of combining vibration stimulation with task-oriented training on functional recovery, and treatment persistence. Participants with chronic stroke underwent 24 sessions of vibration stimulation combined with task-oriented training over 12 weeks, in addition to regular therapy. Functional recovery was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment for motor function (FMA-wrist and hand), the Box and Blocks Test (BBT) for hand dexterity, and the Motor Activity Log (MAL) for daily functional activities. Minimal detectable change (MDC) and minimal important difference (MID) criteria were applied to interpret changes in assessment scores.
This study concerns elderly person aged more than 65 years with autonomous mobility. It is a multicentric randomized trial in two arms : Arm one : remote consultation then physical consultation Arm two : physical consultation then remote consultation Consultations consist to take a Five Times Sit To Stand test, in physical consultation with physiotherapist in the same room and in remote consultation with a physiotherapist in the next room to the patient.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 12-month Baduanjin exercise on physical fitness and bone density in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 50 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.
Evidence shows that people with atrial fibrillation (AF) can benefit from prevention and rehabilitation interventions related to quality of life, lowered anxiety, etc. In this study, a complex prevention and rehabilitation intervention for people with AF was carried out in a Health Center at a Danish municipality in cooperation with the cardiology department at Svendborg Hospital. The study was designed as a feasibility study, with data gathered systematically including focus group interviews and quantitative patient reported outcomes. People with AF were included at the hospital. Eligible participants were offered intervention in the Health Center. Interventions, in accordance with present international guidelines, consisted of physical exercise, patient education, psychosocial support and consultations with health professionals as well as risk factor management. Also, medicinal yoga (MediYoga) were chosen to be part of the intervention due to promising research results within AF. All interventions were optional and based on needs assessment and preferences. The primary objective was to investigate the feasibility of delivering a complex prevention and rehabilitation intervention for people with AF in a municipal Health Center. There were the following four secondary objectives: 1. To explore the participant's experiences of participating in the municipality-based complex prevention and rehabilitation intervention. 2. To explore the participant's needs and preferences of the interventions. 3. To explore changes in HRQoL, anxiety and depression. 4. To explore the feasibility of collecting patient reported outcome measures as part of the intervention. The hypothesis was that the complex prevention and rehabilitation intervention was feasible in a municipality-based set-up, and was well received by people with AF and may contribute to better outcomes in terms of HRQoL, anxiety and depression.
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 objective of this observational study is to assess the outcomes of a hospital-based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) program focused on exercise in cancer patients undergoing cardiotoxic treatment. This evaluation will be conducted by analyzing disease-related health indicators, functional capacity, and quality of life. Patients at risk of cardiotoxicity attending the Cardio-Onco-Hematology Unit will be offered the exercise program, which includes two modalities: in-person (center-based) and remote (home-based) options. The assignment to either modality is non randomized, based on the functional assessment conducted in the Rehabilitation Unit and the agreement between healthcare professional and patient. All participants will perform a 3-month supervised exercise intervention. There are 3 time points for assessment: at baseline (T0), 3-month after the exercise program (T1) and follow-up at 9 months from baseline (T2).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery compared to standard exercise on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? - Does the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? Patients will start their first exercise session on the day they will be discharged from the hospital. Patients in both exercise groups will be provided with cervical normal joint movement (ROM), posture and patient education on the day of discharge. They will be asked to do posture exercises and neck exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Patients in the stabilization exercise group (experiment) will undergo stabilization exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist, in addition to the practices in the standard exercise group. Both groups will do a warm-up program before exercise and a cool-down program afterwards. Patients will be asked to do the exercises face to face with a physiotherapist 3 days a week. The first evaluations will be made on the day they come to the outpatient clinic for examination before surgery. Post-surgical evaluations will be made routinely after the exercise program is completed, when they are called by the physician for a check-up (6th week). Researchers will compare the standard exercise group with the stabilization exercise group to see if pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscular endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level) are different.
Postural instability has a major impact on the mobility and daily life activities of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients as it often leads to reduced mobility, insecure stance and falls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of focal vibration on the static and dynamic balance of a group of Parkinson's disease patients with Hoehn and Yahr (HeY) stage II-III. They underwent three weeks of focal muscle vibration applied to the quadriceps, soles of the feet and trapezius muscles bilaterally in addition to conventional physiotherapy . The static and dynamic balance was assessed at baseline (T0), after 3 weeks of treatment (T1) and after 1 month from the last treatment (T2) with the Tinetti scale and stabilometry evaluations.
