Filter by:There is an urgent need for educational and psychological adjustment to stimulate the post-stroke patients' motivation to actively carry out rehabilitation. Studies have shown that interventions based on character strengths are widely used in chronic disease patients abroad, and have achieved the effect of improving the physical and mental health. However, research on individualized character strengths in stroke patient intervention is limited, and more clinical evidence is needed. This study is based on personality theory and the application of character strengths-based STEP programme (CSSTEP) in stroke patients. The investigators hypothesized that the CSSTEP programme could help stroke patients to improve mental state, cognitive function, and better gait performance, suffer from less post-stroke depression, enhance their post-stroke self-confidence.
Purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of the criterion rehabilitation protocol versus accelerated rehabilitation protocol on the biomechanical determinants of the quality of performance and risk of reinjury.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in childhood. The term CP is defined as a group of persistent but non-progressive movement and posture disorders resulting from a defect or lesion of the immature brain. The overall prevalence of CP worldwide is 2.11 per 1000 live births. There is evidence that 80% of children with CP have upper extremity involvement. In general, the acquisition of effective arm and hand skills for use in daily life is a complex process that not only requires neuromusculoskeletal integrity, but also includes various aspects of the child's abilities. Thus, in addition to the positive symptoms that typically present patterns of spasticity, children and adolescents with CP often have a poor ability to reach, grasp, release, and manipulate objects. They also have difficulty using their upper extremities to perform self-care and other activities. Robot-assisted and computer-assisted methods may be valuable new strategies for improving the sensory-motor learning process in children with central motor impairment. These new technologies represent an attractive complement to existing physiotherapeutic and occupational therapy concepts. In patients with difficulty in individual finger and hand movements, the AMADEO device (Tyromotion, Austria) can be used for unilateral distal training of the upper extremity. With this device, patients with little or no voluntary control of the hand and fingers can receive more or less passive training, while those with better distal function of the upper extremity can strength train by following the device or even against the device to a certain extent. Implementation of robot-assisted therapy provides intense repetitive training, sensorimotor integration and cognitive engagement through targeted tasks; focuses primarily on functional motor performance. From previous studies, the use of robotic devices has been found to improve the kinematics, range of motion, muscle tone, postural control, and functionality of the upper and lower extremities in individuals with CP. Robotic hand therapy has started to take place in routine rehabilitation protocols today. Considering the scarcity of studies on robotic hand therapy in the pediatric group, larger-scale studies are needed. In this study, our aim is to investigate the effect of robotic hand therapy on hand functions and quality of life in children with CP.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the cause of dizziness and decline in walking ability in in older adults ≥65 years during chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to investigate if a comprehensive geriatric assessment and three months' specialized physical group-based exercise three times/week can counteract muscle weakness, vertigo, instability, impaired walking balance, and neuropathy
In this research; the investigators would like to compare the results of patients with Parkinson's disease in the two groups who received classical physical therapy and rehabilitation program and virtual reality assisted walking and balance exercise at the beginning (1st rehabilitation day =1. day) and end of rehabilitation (21st rehabilitation day=50.day). In addition, the investigators aimed to reveal the change of gait and balance parameters by measuring the C-mill walking and balance rehabilitation device with numerical data and graphic analysis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the rehabilitation by use of a smartphone-app with the usual care of physical therapy in patients, 60 years and older, who underwent a primary shoulder arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is the outcome of rehabilitation with the app as good as the usual care? - is the outcome for both types of shoulder arthroplasty similar? - what is the usability of the app?. Participants will - have treatment according to the group they are allocated to - fill in questionnaires at specific moments during the rehabilitation stage (0 - 3 months ) and at 1 year post-surgery
The Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) aims to reconceptualize pain from a marker of tissue damage to a marker of the perceived need to protect body tissue. The purpose of this study is to verify the long-term efficacy (6 months) of a Pain Education treatment in patients with chronic low back pain, compared to a conventional treatment.
There are several research on Mulligan's techniques that have demonstrated their effectiveness in lowering hamstring tightness, and Mulligan is a pain-free therapy that may be used on any patients complaining of low back pain and hamstring tightness. the purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the effect of Mulligan technique versus post facilitation stretch technique on hamstring flexibility in healthy subjects
Patients who underwent inpatient rehabilitation for the last 5 years were retrospectively scanned. The pre-rehabilitation and rehabilitation periods of the patients were determined. At the beginning and end of rehabilitation, patients were evaluated with the Brunsstrom, Barthel and Stroke Impact Scale. The effect of the specified durations on these scales was investigated.
COVID-19 can have different clinical manifestations including myalgia, arthralgia, neurological, cardiac, psychological and other manifestations.These patients are at greater risk of developing consequences of prolonged bed rest. Therefore physical medicine and rehabilitation could have an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of these issues. Early respiratory and neuromuscular rehabilitation is necessary to improve functional physical limitations, performance, muscle strength, endurance as well as cognitive and emotional domains. Some studies proposed that rehabilitation protocols in the inpatient setting include early mobilisation, strength and endurance training with the aim of reducing weakness and dependency. This Study aimed to detect the effects of rehabilitation in patients with Covid-19 who were admitted in temporary Covid hospital in Serbia. Furthermore, to emphasize the importance of functional assessment of the patients, in identifying their problems and selections of priorities in planning the best therapeutic protocol.
