Filter by:Fear of falling is associated with numerous negative health outcomes in older adults and can limit rehabilitation. Few treatments are effective in fear of falling. Hypnosis is now recognized as an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, especially anxiety and pain, which can be integrated safely with conventional medicine. Therefore, the objective was to assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to examine whether hypnosis reduces fear of falling in an inpatient geriatric population. In this randomized pilot trial, patients hospitalized in geriatric rehabilitation wards were randomly allocated to either an intervention group (hypnosis plus usual rehabilitation program) or a control group (usual rehabilitation program only). Primary feasibility outcomes were recruitment rate, retention rate, and adherence to the intervention. Secondary outcomes concerned the impact of hypnosis in rehabilitation in fear of falling scores, functional scores, length of stay, and drugs.
Using the data obtained in a study carried out at the Hospital of Alcañiz (Teruel, Spain) between February and July 2019, with a stabilometric platform and with movement sensors, the investigators want to demonstrate that the rehabilitation works in those patients with vertigo or dizziness of cervical origin. For this, the data obtained from that sample, which was of 67 patients, will be analyzed in a pre-post rehabilitation treatment study, objectifying whether the patients improved or not, both in terms of imbalance and cervical pain, if any.
Gait is specifically impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). External auditory cue based on a binary rhythm tested in PD patients disappear when the stimulus is removed. Golden Ratio (GR)is intrinsic in the human gait, but in PD patients this GR has been found impaired. Aim of the study is the administration of an auditory external cue based on a personalized Golden Ratio-rhythm which could potentially assist people with PD to cope with the difficulties that they experience while walking, thus increasing their mobility and autonomy.
Many people who have suffered from the effects of this disease might now be at risk of long-term impairment and disability. The extent of this impairment and disability is yet unknown, but it is clear from early research that these patients will be in need of rehabilitation in all phases of the disease - acute, post-acute and long-term. Rehabilitation is defined as "a set of interventions designed to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment." Rehabilitation might very well be a key strategy to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and function of people. A team work is needed to implement this programs which are essential in all phases to facilitate early discharge, but even more to support and empower patients.
Stroke is the most common neurological disease leaving one third dead and one third with permanent impairment despite best medical treatment. The aim of the present study is to investigate why patients differ in how they benefit from neurorehabilitation by collecting clinical, electrophysiological, imaging and laboratory data in the acute phase of stroke as well as later on during rehabilitation and after 90 days. Following a closed-loop approach the data is analyzed by a machine learning algorithm to create a personalized neurorehabilitation strategy.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of training performed on a rotating, motorised platform (the Huber/SpineForce device from LPG Systems, Valence, France) intended to reduce the risk of falls. Subjects: any patient 1) benefiting from a physiotherapy rehabilitation program at the CHU Liège, CNRF, Belgium; 2) presenting a pathological situation justifying functional rehabilitation with HUBER 360®; 3) presenting any pathology not constituting an exclusion criterion; 4) giving informed consent to research will be include in this 8-week interventional trial. Design: randomized open-label trial. Patients will be randomized into the intervention group (HUBER trainig, 45 minutes of training, twice a week during 8 weeks) or in the control group (standard care). Outcomes: the effect of the training will be measured on the Time-Up-and-Go test, on the Short-Physical performance battery test and on quality of life.
Lumbopelvic pain represents one of the leading causes of disability and pain in the world population. It is estimated that 84% of the world's population will suffer from lumbar pelvic pain in their lifetime. This high prevalence causes it to be classified as a public health problem. Traditional primary care measures have failed to reduce the prevalence, recurrences and costs of this pathology. In the search for treatments focused on reducing public spending, the concept of tele-rehabilitation appears. It is a tool, via telematics, that provides knowledge on rehabilitation and education in neurobiology of pain, demonstrated in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. It has been suggested that the use of this instrument could help improve the patient's quality of life at the biopsychosocial level.
Telerehabilitation Approach on Individuals with Hand-Affected Scleroderma
A complex intervention study on a palliative rehabilitation blended learning program to support relatives and health care providers of people with ALS and cognitive impairments in coping with challenges.
Stroke is a worldwide major cause of disability with great social and economic burdens. The recovery of motor function is crucial for the patient to regain independence and quality of life. Identifying early predictors of motor recovery and outcomes is useful for planning personalized rehabilitation programs and increasing their efficiency. However, making predictions using a single clinical assessment is often difficult and a combination of multiple tools is required. In the last decades, were validated two predictive algorithms for upper limb function and independent walking that can be easily implemented into clinical practice with the aim of increasing knowledge on expected outcome after stroke in patients, families and rehabilitation teams. This will be the first single-site randomized control trial that will test the implementation of such tools in a rehabilitation setting in Italy.
