Filter by:This study seeks to explore ways to strengthening the interdisciplinary and inter sectoral collaboration in stroke rehabilitation through the application of Functional Independence Measure® (FIM) and common interdisciplinary patient related tasks. The study will be evaluated through interviews with staff, participant observation and quantitative patient data.
Individualization of exercise is recommended but rarely performed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Unusually High Intensity and Individual Sensor Motor with Visuomotor Mobility Trainer The clinical symptoms, mobility and posture of PD patients. After 3 weeks of intensive treatment, treated patients and the control group were subjected to a two-year observation. Objectives: The effect of the unusually highly intense and strictly individualized sensomotor and visuomotor agility program was determined for the clinical symptoms, mobility and stability of non-demented PD patients with a two-year follow-up. Detection and comparison of results of patients undergoing biphasic maintenance with the results of intensively treated patients and the control group. Patients were recalled every 3 months after the first intensive examination and one year after a one-year control. The results of the active group were continuously compared with the results of the passive and control groups, thus determining the effectiveness of our treatment and the deterioration of the other groups in life-quality. The treated groups will be divided into two. One Parkinson's group takes part in a treadmill treatment that takes place 3 times a week for 6 years. The other group does not undergo a special series of exercises after 3 weeks of intensive therapy. Main outcome measures: Movement disorder Society Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, Motor Experiences of Daily Living, a measure sensitive to changes in a broad spectrum of PD symptoms. In group time, repeated measurements of variance analysis were compared to MDS-UPDRS M-EDL, Beck Depression Score, PDQ-39, EQ5D VAS, Schwab & England Scale for Parkinson's Disease. The TUG test and 12 static posturographic measurements are compared and compared to the healthy group as a standard. An at-limit and individualized sensorimotor and visuomotor agility exercise program vs. standard care, will improve non-demeted, stage 2-3 PD patient's clinical symptoms, mobility, and postural stability by functionally meaningful margins. As a long-term solution, a follow-up treatment can slow down the progression of clinical symtoms.
The main aim of this research is to compare the functional recovery after discharge with the preoperative physical activity as a hypothesis generating study.
Patients affected by new coronavirus infectious disease (COVID) were mostly hospitalized in ICU. This infection seems to cause widespread organ injury (i.e acute renal injury, neurological disorders, pulmonary embolism,…). It is therefore necessary to provide a framework for the follow up of patients. Moreover SARS-CoV-2 infection consequences remain unknow at this time. Study hypothesis is that COVID alters determining factors (physical or psychological) of quality of life after ICU hospitalisation. The aim of the study is to assess quality of life 3 months after ICU hospitalization. Secondary purposes of the study are 1) assessment of quality of life 6 months and the evolution between the third and the sixth months after ICU hospitalization 2) description patients care after 3 and 6 months ICU left and their clinical status 3) convening and providing a "platform" within several physicians (neurologist, biologist, pneumologist…) will be able to follow up patients and perform complementary investigations according to patients injuries.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Hand involvement is one of the most observed musculoskeletal involvements in patients with SSc, which can impact on general health, quality of life, and psychological status. Hand exercise programs can help patients to improve not only hand function but also general health status; nevertheless, further randomized control trials (RCTs) are needed to clarify its effect. Hence, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of home-based, self-administered exercise program for hands in patients with SSc and demonstrate the improvements in general health status.
The effect of combination of hydrodilatation, corticosteroid injection, and joint mobilization for treatment of frozen shoulder, compared with general physical therapy.
Imaging methods bring new possibilities for describing the brain plasticity processes that underly the improvement of clinical function after physiotherapy in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The study determined whether facilitation physiotherapy could enhance brain plasticity, compared two facilitation methods, and looked for any relation to clinical improvement in pwMS.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of physical rehabilitation performed in intensive care unit on the range of joint motions and muscle strength of survivors following discharge from intensive care unit in patients with COVID-19. Secondary outcome is to assess the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in intensive care unit and in hospital, and mortality rates during intensive care unit stay and health related quality of life following discharge in survivors. Until April 14 patients were provided all the intensive care managements except for rehabilitation and patients discharged before this time constituted the 'non-rehabilitation' group (n=17). Patients discharged after April 14 were provided rehabilitation in addition to usual intensive care unit care and constituted the study 'rehabilitation' group (n=18). Passive range of motion exercises to each joint and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles were applied 6 days/week in the 'rehabilitation' group during intensive care unit stay.
Feasibility trial investigating robotic assisted early mobilization vs. early mobilization in critically ill patients.
Total knee replacements are a common orthopaedic procedure undertaken at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Following surgery patients are routinely seen by Physiotherapists who prescribe exercises to improve the range of movement and strength of the knee joint, thus aiding recovery. One of the key exercises prescribed involves the bending and straightening of the knee to improve range of movement. At this early stage of rehabilitation , due to weakness in the knee joint, reducing any resistance to this motion is beneficial. The Orthoglide device is designed to aid the patient in performing this movement by reducing the friction/resistance caused by the heel sliding against the bed. Currently this is achieved using a 'slider board' and placing a rolled up piece of fabric under the patients heel. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not issuing an Orthoglide device to patients following total knee replacements improves functional outcomes reported by the patient at 6 weeks and 12 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be assigned to either receive an Orthoglide device and standard Physiotherapy or standard Physiotherapy alone. A series of patient reported outcome measures will be taken pre-surgery, 6 weeks post surgery and 12 weeks post surgery and the results compared.
