Filter by:Current studies on the mechanism of subacromial impingement and other shoulder pathology reveal that multiple factors are responsible for impingement. These include serratus anterior dysfunction, rotator cuff insufficiency, posterior capsular tightness, acromioclavicular joint, thoracic spine stiffness and extensibility of the pectoralis minor and subclavius muscles. Manual intervention should therefore address these issues in conjunction with the other therapies. Novel interventions have been designed pilot tested for each of these factors to produce a healing environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of each individual factor and combination of all on the range of motion of shoulder joint in healthy subjects and subjects with a restricted range of motion of shoulder joint respectively. The subject will be allocated randomly into four groups with respect to objective 1 and each of the groups will be evaluated as a quasi-experiment design (pretest-posttest) for healthy each of 30 subjects. Beneficial intervention among the four trials and other previously reported beneficial in improving the shoulder joint range will be combined in and termed as pragmatic intervention protocols. Pragmatic interventions on subjects with the restricted range in shoulder pathology will be tested through a similar design. The effects of these interventions on the Quality of life measured through the Urdu version of Shoulder pain and disability in subjects with shoulder pathology will also be tested.
This project is aimed at patients with dizziness believed to be due to conditions in the balance organ in the inner ear (vestibular diseases). Dizziness can be bothersome and influence postural control negatively, and can cause secondary musculoskeletal disorders. Dizziness can also result in reduced work capacity. The purpose of the project is to strengthen the knowledge base regarding symptom burden, prognosis and treatment of prolonged dizziness. The hypothesis is that musculoskeletal pain at baseline is a prognostic factor for prolonged dizziness.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of game-based virtual reality exercise added to conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In order to evaluate its effectiveness, assessment of pain, range of motion and disability will be applied.
The onset and offset of the neural inspiratory time are fundamentally important measurements in studies of patientventilator interaction, where the level of assistance delivered by the ventilator is controlled by the patient's demand. The onset of neural inspiratory time can be determined in esophageal pressure, transdiaphragmatic pressure, and EMG signals. The investigator compare the onset measured by EMG, esophageal and transdiaphragmatic pressure, and consider that the correlation between them is well in different conditions.
Multi-channel cochlear implants have been highly successful in restoring speech understanding to individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Optimal programs facilitate access to sound but do not necessarily result in optimal performance. Practiced listening with auditory inputs is required to retrain the brain to hear using a cochlear implant. In some cases exposure to sound in everyday listening is sufficient; however, in others there is a need for the provision of auditory training (AT) by a trained professional. In these cases it is important to have regular visits with a specialist to: 1) facilitate auditory training exercises; 2) work with the family/friends to encourage optimal communication strategies in the home; 3) evaluate and assess achievement of listening goals. This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of providing auditory training services remotely for patient populations located outside of Toronto. This study also seeks to evaluate interindividual perspectives regarding access and benefits of these services across remote and in person sessions.
The aim of htis study is to investigate the post intervention effects of daily feedback on actual physical activity levels derived from a wristworn accelerometer FITBIT combined with self-management training on in-clinic physical activity in persons with moderate to severe disability from MS.
Hypothesis: Oncological patients presenting with respiratory problems will benefit both at a functional level and at a level of quality of life from the inclusion of a program of integral respiratory rehabilitation from the perspective of nursing and occupational therapy at the time of admission hospital for an exacerbation of his respiratory symptoms. Main objective: to verify the effectiveness of a comprehensive respiratory rehabilitation program carried out from the perspective of an interdisciplinary team made up of nurses, occupational therapists and doctors in the improvement of the respiratory problem referred to oncological disease. Design: experimental, randomized, stratified, longitudinal prospective study through a parallel scheme of fixed assignment with experimental group and control group.
The purpose of the present study is to examine if a patient-tailored treatment program has a better effect on pain and disability than a non-patient tailored treatment or wait and see approach in patients with (sub)acute (recurrent) NSNP. A secondary goal is to evaluate the global perceived effect, treatment adherence, recurrence, work absenteeism and medication use. All interventional treatment arms will consist of a treatment part in a clinical practice setting, under supervision of a trained physiotherapist, and an educational intervention and will be compared to the control group.
To establish a pilot randomized, crossover study on applying 2 constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) interventions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy after botulinum toxin injection during preschool education.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation program on hand involvement of patients with scleroderma and to compare the effects of home rehabilitation program and rehabilitation program under physiotherapist supervision. At the end of the study, the rehabilitation program under the supervision of physiotherapist and home exercise program will be compared with the effects of these applications on range of motion, grip strength, function and sensation. Since there are a limited number of randomized controlled studies in the literature on this subject and there is no randomized controlled clinical study on the superiority of physiotherapist supervision and home program, it will contribute to the information regarding the rehabilitation of scleroderma patients.
