Filter by: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.
Rehabilitation after primary knee or hip arthroplasty may include performing exercises with a physiotherapist. For patients who can work well with a computer, tablet or smartphone, it is now possible to use a mobile application (e.g. moveUp) to carry out a large part of the exercises more independently. This is done with online guidance by a physiotherapist via a mobile application that is CE marked in Europe. This study will investigate whether the effect of the mobile application on knee or hip rehabilitation and quality of life is equal to that of standard care (i.e. without the use of a mobile application).
Experimental study that has how to compare the efficacy between conventional rehabilitation, transcutaneous electrostimulation or early mobilization to reduce the time needed to reverse the muscle weakness evaluated by the muscle strength scale of the MRC in patients with a clinical diagnosis of intensive care unit acquired weakness in the (ICUAW).The ambit of realization is a medical-surgical ICU of a general acute hospital (26 beds). A randomized controlled, uni-centric design was used. The interventions are divided into three groups namely; group 1 (control group) receiving standard or usual rehabilitation (GR-STD); group 2 receives transcutaneous electrostimulation (GR-TEE) and group 3 that consists of an early mobilization protocol (GR-EM). The main outcome variable of the study is the time, in days and sessions of treatment, to reverse the ICUAW.
Stroke has become the first cause of death and disability among Chinese adults. 70%-80% of patients cannot live independently due to disability, which has brought a heavy burden to families, medical institutions and society. How to better evaluate and improve post-stroke motor and cognitive dysfunction has always been a hot research topic. With the rapid development of brain-computer interface technology, rehabilitation assessment based on quantitative EEG analysis is gradually being applied in the medical field. So we designed a brain-computer interface based on hierarchical task induction-pedaling rehabilitation training system to investigate the effectiveness on the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
20 patients were recruited by two hospitals (AOUP and AOUC) in Italy from January 2015 to January 2018. The participants have been addressed to two different groups: the ones recruited by the AOUP were submitted to an experimental protocol of rehabilitation with FES Cycling, the ones recruited by the AOUC were submitted to a standard protocol of manual mobilization. The primary outcome was the thigh circumferences measured at 4 different levels (5-10-15-20 cm) from the superior margin of the patella, while the secondary outcomes were the muscle tone evaluated with Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and the sensation of pain registered with International Spinal Cord Injury - Pain Basic Data Set (ISCI-P). From these outcomes the Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) was obtained. The costs of the two treatments were calculated through a consultation process with the Competent Offices of the two hospitals. The QALYs and the costs were used to calculate the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) in order to verify the cost-effectiveness ratio of the two treatments.
In a worldwide context of accelerated demographic aging, traumatic brain injury (TBI) in older adults has become a public health problem. TBI incidence grows following an exponential curve as people get older, increasing the occurrence of TBI in ageing individuals. Rehabilitation programs used in clinical settings have generally been developed for younger adults, and their efficacy with older adults who sustain a TBI has not been evaluated. The investigators have tailored a modular cognitive rehabilitation program for individuals who sustain a TBI in older adulthood, the Cognitive Enrichment Program (CEP), by adapting approaches which have shown to be effective in normal ageing and with other neurological conditions. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CEP in adults having sustained a TBI during later adulthood. Specific objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness on memory, executive functions, psychological well-being and daily life activities using psychometric tests, self-reported questionnaires, and daily life-like tasks. The investigators hypothesize that memory and executive functions training included in the CEP will result in an improvement in both psychometric and self-reported scores in a trained group of older individuals with TBI, whereas this will not be the case for a comparable TBI group who did not receive the CEP intervention.
The goal of this pilot study is to determine if a home based bicycle exercise program can significantly improve the exercise tolerance and well being of pulmonary outpatients. The investigators will use a computer based monitoring system to allow us to speak with participants, view participants, and track patient bicycle activity (speed, duration of exercise, rate of work) during exercise sessions. The investigators plan to have participants perform three telemonitored exercise sessions per week for 12 weeks as part of this program. The investigators will assess exercise performance on the bicycle, called a work rate test, at the beginning of the program and then again at 6 weeks and 12 weeks into the program to determine if the program can produce a clinically significant improvement in work rate test performance (i.e. a greater than 1.15 minute increase in exercise duration at an 80% work rate). The investigators will also assess participant CRQ, SPPB scores and SF36 scores (indices of patient well being) at baseline, at 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks, to determine if the exercise program elicits an increase in these indices.
