Background & Purpose: Shoulder injuries are commonly seen in overhead athletes due to the mechanism of the repetitive and high velocity movement. While the injury usually cost the lost of time in playing, making the decision of the time to return to play (RTP) is a critical issue that should be standardized and objective. However, current studies showed that the decision making of RTP is so complicated that there's lack of objective measurements especially for upper extremity injuries. So, investigating the usage of convenient and valid tools, functional performance assessments for assessing the ability to RTP is the main objective of this study. Objective: There are 2 objectives for this study: (1) to investigate the difference between RTP group and non-RTP in overhead athletes with shoulder injury; (2) to investigate the responsiveness of the functional performance assessment in return to play for overhead athletes with shoulder injury. Methods: Overhead athletes with shoulder injury or surgery which leads to temporary leaving to the sport within will be recruited in this study. The shoulder joint range of motion (flexion, extension, external/internal rotation, and abduction), shoulder muscle strength (flexors, abductors and external/internal rotators), patient-reported outcome (KJOC and DASH questionnaire) and functional performance assessments (FMS, YBT-UQ, CKCUEST, USSP and TPUT) will be assessed at 6 months after the athlete was injured or received surgery, and at the time point if the athletes successfully complete at least one formal game or practice game (RTP group). If the athlete doesn't return within 12 months after injury or surgery, the assess will be done at the 12th month after injury or surgery. Significance and Contribution: This study is going to provide an objective measurement value of functional performance assessment in injured overhead athletes, determining whether the strength, endurance or power of the upper extremity is good enough to return to the sport that the athlete played before this injury. The result is also expected to have significant contribution in the area of sports medicine in return to play especially in overhead athletes, which has limited evidence providing specific criteria and objective measurement value previously.
In the randomized controlled study with patients who appropriate the inclusion criteria are divided into two groups by simple drawing method. In the control group, the classical physiotherapy program is being applied when the post-operative immobilization period ended, MT is applied to the mirror group in addition to this treatment for 20 minutes and a total of 10 sessions in the immobilization period. Patients who are scheduled for operation due to CTS evaluated that pain (VAS), sense (monofilament test), function (BCTQ, 9-hole peg test) before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery.
The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT)-based upper limb rehabilitation and video-game based therapy (VGBT) with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games on upper extremity functions in patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
The study compares effects of 4-week walking training program on a walking track with difference surface [WTDS] and a firm ground on functional ability of ambulatory individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury [iSCI], using within- and between-group comparisons.
Tendinopathy of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL), colloquially referred to as "dancer's tendinitis," is a common condition in dancers and attributed to high demand on this muscle in positions of extreme ankle plantarflexion and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) flexion and extension. Tradicional conservative treatment includes rest from pain-inducing activities including pointe work and jumping, physical therapy a focusing on movilization of the joints of the first ray and subtalar joint, and antiinflamatory medications. Unfortunately, dancer frecuently do not follow recommendations to rest due to the competitive nature of the field. Those who do not respond to conservative treatment undergo more serious interventions including steroid injections or surgery, each with additional risks and recovery time. To develop experimental protocols aimed at prevention and nonsurgical interventions are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was To investigate the effects of one shot of low-frequency percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) vs. one shot of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in performance of the Flexor Hallucis Longus muscle in young dancers.
In clinics, many scales have been developed to examine daily living activities and function in children with idiopatic toe walking. "The Idiopatic Toe Walking (ITW)" was developed in 2010 by Cylie M.Williams, contains 21 items which measure medical, birth & developmental history and assessment. The aim of the investigator's study was to investigate translating the ITW scale and using it in clinics reliably and valiably with a Turkish version of ITW in children with idiopatic toe walking.
Postural instability is associated with falls and a decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Evidence supports physical activity rather than levodopa for postural instability management. Considering the proven effects of the Stand-up Paddle (SUP) activity on postural instability in sedentary people, the investigators wanted to develop this aquatic activity in a swimming pool on static conditions (Aqua SUP) for PD patients. The objective is to assess the postural instability change by measuring the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (miniBESTest) after 8 weeks of Aqua SUP compared to physiotherapy in PD patients with baseline postural instability.
To assess recruitment rate, attrition, compliance with weekly exercise, smoking cessation, and quality of life with a multimodal prehabilitation protocol for women with breast cancer undergoing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
The upper limb (UL) plays an important role in the daily functioning of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and negatively influences their quality of life. Effective arm-hand training programs are needed. Various robotic systems have been developed for UL rehabilitation, mainly used in patients with stroke. Preliminary work in MS has focused on proximal sections of the arm. No study has evaluated the use of robotics for improving manual dexterity and their effects on cortical activity. The results of this research project could be relevant for the advancement of knowledge about UL functional recovery in individuals with MS and to determine the pattern of muscle activation underlying functional recovery.
