Filter by: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.
Studies across various sports and physical activities have consistently shown that females incur more injuries compared to their male counterparts, but the underlying reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood. While differences in hormone levels between males and females have been speculated to play a role, very little rigorous research has been conducted to directly examine potential connections between sex hormones and injury risk. Specifically, females have been shown to be at greater risk for hand and wrist injuries. The higher injury incidence begins at puberty and persists across the lifespan, suggesting a link to hormonal factors. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the relationships between the menstrual cycle, exogenous hormones from birth control, and risk factors for sports-related injury in females. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle strength and neuromuscular activation among females using monophasic oral contraceptives, females not using oral contraceptives, and males during one week of wrist/hand immobilization.
Asthma, a prevalent chronic condition among children and adolescents, substantially impairs their quality of life. In addressing this significant health concern, this study focuses on the potential of a customized exercise rehabilitation program tailored for this young demographic. By employing a randomized controlled trial design, the research aims to divide participants into two distinct groups: one undergoing a personalized exercise regimen and the other receiving standard medical care. The 12-week intervention for the exercise group includes a combination of aerobic activities, strength training, and targeted breathing exercises. The study's primary aim is to rigorously evaluate the impact of this specialized exercise protocol on critical health aspects such as lung function, physical endurance, frequency of asthma attacks, and overall quality of life. The anticipated findings from this research are expected to shed new light on effective asthma management strategies and offer invaluable guidance for clinical practices dedicated to improving health outcomes in young asthma patients.
The aim of this study is to verify the influence that participation in a Psychological Support Group has on anxiety, depression and coping skills in patients admitted to the IRCCS San Camillo Hospital. It is therefore an observational study with a pre-post design on a cohort of patients hospitalized at San Camillo IRCCS who attend the Psychological Support Group. The study consists of verifying whether the therapeutic activity of the Psychological Support Group (GSP) has an influence on the levels of anxiety, mood and coping skills in the patients who attend it. These purposes will be pursued through the administration to each patient at the beginning (pre) and at the end (post) of the period of attendance at the GSP, of validated scales: Stay Y2 (anxiety), BDI II(depressive symptoms), COPE NVD 25 (coping strategies) and the CORE-OM (outcomes of psychological activity).
In this exploratory qualitative study with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, we will describe and understand the experience of treatment and hospitalization in hospitalized people suffering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and patients post-neurosurgery for oncological causes. Patients will be interviewed in a semi-structured manner and sampling will take place for each of the pathology groups according to the saturation method.
The study has investigated the effects of adding change of direction (COD) training to the FIFA 11+ on lower extremity performance in soccer players. The investigators are interested in knee valgus angle during cutting which is typically suggested as a critical risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Peak knee valgus angle during cutting is expected to reduce immediately after adding COD training to the FIFA 11+.
the specific effect of IMT on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness during weaning remains unclear. To address this significant research gap, the primary objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of IMT after extubation on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal muscle thickness in respiratory ICU patients. On the other hand the investigators established reference values for ultrasonographic measurements in healthy control subjects as a comparative arm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value.
This is a drug-free, single arm, single center, superiority, interventional study aimed at treatment feasibility. The main aim of the current study is to assess feasibility of a tailored exercise program as measured by adherence to exercise program in metastatic PCa patients undergoing ADT. Secondary aims are: to deepen the knowledge on other feasibility aspects (recruitment/retention), to monitor safety, to assess the effects in reducing the AEs of ADT (on loss of strength, loss of physical performance and fatigue, number of accidental falls and fractures), to monitor pain and the change in physical activity habits. The rehabilitation intervention will be led by a Physiotherapist and will include: a 12 weeks standardized multicomponent exercise (aerobic, resistance, balance and flexibility, and impact exercise if indicated), supervised by the physiotherapist, on an outpatient basis or in telerehabilitation. This program will be adapted to single patient needs. Every exercise session will last almost 60 minutes and patients will be supervised twice a week. One more exercise session per week will be self-managed by patients. At baseline a physiatrist will visit patients with bone metastasis and collect data on sites of bone metastasis, associated level of pain, and risk of pathological fractures. For all participants, the physiotherapist will assess muscle strength (Hand Grip Strength-HGS), physical performance (Short Physical Performance Battery-SPPB), level of fatigue (FACIT-F), and data collection on physical activity habits (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-IPAQ). The enrollment will be closed after 1 year from the activation of the study or when the target of patients will be reached, whichever occurs firstly. For each patient, data will be collected for 12 months. The duration of the study is expected to be around 2 years. Follow-ups are scheduled at 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 12 months.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding virtual reality therapy to conventional treatment in patients with chronic neck pain on pain, neck disability index, kinesiophobia, insomnia severity questionnaire, hospital anxiety depression scale, cervical range of motion and pressure pain threshold.
