Filter by:This monocentric registry should provide information on the extent how patients with pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary hypertension will benefit from rehabilitation treatment. The data may provide a basis for further prospective studies showing the treatment of patients with pulmonary diseases especially by physical activation.
The accelerated rehabilitation and early return does not seem to be harmful, but still needs further research to define the rehabilitation time is what shows Kruse and collaborators (2012) in their study of systematic review. The surgical treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury is the gold standard in the treatment of these injuries in young and active, the postoperative rehabilitation is extensive and full return to sport occurs only after 6 months postoperatively. Based on this gap, the investigators seek to draw properly through our study methods and more complex techniques, that comparing two rehabilitation programs can achieve high precision early rehabilitation. This will include 32 athletes who had complete ACL rupture confirmed by MRI and underwent ACL reconstruction using patellar tendon.All subjects will be followed from the pre-surgery, the fourth and sixth month after surgery with: KT1000 measures the ligamentous laxity, knee function by applying the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC 2000); Isokinetic Muscle Strength (Cybex). Through a random draw of sealed envelopes, patients will be allocated in their rehabilitation groups: Accelerated (4 months) or Conventional (6 months). Preoperatively, fourth and sixth month after surgery will be an assessment of laxity by (KT1000), Muscular Strength (CYBEX) and knee function affected by IKDC (2000) and Hop Test. The assessor and the patients were blinded to treatment group. This study will have the locus Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Medicine, São Paulo. The comparative results of the two groups are analyzed using specific statistical tests to prove an improved significative without damaging the integrity of the graft.
Background: It is well known that cardiac rehabilitation has potential to reduce morbidity and mortality, but not all patients complete CR. This LC-REHAB trial aims to compare the effect of a new patient education method called learning and coping strategies to that of standard care. Design: Randomised controlled trial, 1:1 ratio. Participants: Patients above 18 years newly hospitalised with either ischaemic heart disease or heart failure. Setting: Three hospital Units in Central Denmark Region. Intervention: Cardiac rehabilitation with addition of learning and coping strategies which include participation of experienced patients as co-educators, clarifuing interviews, and inductive teaching style. Control arm: Standard care cardiac rehabilitation with a decuctive teaching style. Outcomes: Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation, morbidity, mortality, risk factors, lifestyle, health related quality of life, return to work.
This study is designed to observe the respective effects of 2 types of physiotherapy early after a cerebral stroke. The hypothesis is that an intensive physiotherapy early delivered (Day 2 to D15) after a stroke could induce faster motor control recovery than a conservative physiotherapy aiming at preventing complications.
The research is about a prospective study conducted in patients suffering from dysphagia and cervical spine disorders and how they are interrelated. Three questionnaires have been given to patients with neurologic deficits, the first of these investigates the occurence of dysphagia in the three stages of swallowing, the second looks into the quality of life following a stroke or other neurologic damage and the third analyses how cervical spine disorders can affect every day life. After the bedside examination, VFSS or FEES, the patients are submitted to swallowing and cervical resistance exercises in fixed time periods after their hospitalisation. The results will be collected and evaluated using the statistical programme SPSS.
Basic strength training for the neck/shoulder muscles can decrease intensity of neck/shoulder pain, but it is uncertain whether training should focus directly on the upper trapezius - which is most often tender - or on the lower compartments and serratus anterior. We hypothesize that strengthening exercise for the lower and middle trapezius as well as the serratus anterior will decrease intensity of neck/shoulder pain among office workers
Currently there is a lot of literatures on stroke rehabilitation and post-discharge therapy. However, there are few evidence based guidelines on patient engagement after stroke in the post-rehabilitation community phase. There is evidence from stroke studies that stroke patients with mild to moderate disability, discharged early from an acute hospital unit can be rehabilitated in the community by an interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team and attain similar functional outcomes when compared to patients receiving in-patient rehabilitation. There is strong evidence that additional hospital based outpatient therapy improves short term functional outcomes compared to routine care over short term. Although meta-analyses have examined the efficacy of self management education programs, the interpretation of such reviews is limited by heterogeneity in populations and interventions and the limited range of outcomes measured. Few randomized controlled trials have found a reduction in health service utilization, such as incidences of hospitalization (in patients with chronic lung disease, heart disease, stroke and arthritis) as a direct outcome of attending an education program. For self-management support to be effective and sustainable in the community, it is postulated that initiatives simultaneously focus on supporting patients to engage in self management and equipping health care professionals with the necessary resources to assist them.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether cranberry capsules reduce rates of urinary tract infections during initial rehabilitation immediately after spinal cord injury.
The objective is to investigate a rehabilitation program (supportive conversations and a rehabilitation course for cancer patients and their relatives together). The study evaluate the effect of the program compared to no intervention (usual care)
The study examines and illustrates the utility of utilizing actigraphic measurements to assess treatment response.
