Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to verify the effectiveness of interventions using gamification with social incentives and social support to increase physical activity in patients with CVD through randomized controlled trials.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of myoelectric biofeedback therapy on upper limb function in elderly patients with cerebral infarction, and to analyze the adjustment of stroke condition and quality of life.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does myoelectric biofeedback therapy promote the restoration of upper limb function in elderly patients with cerebral infarction? 2. What medical problems do participants have with myoelectric biofeedback therapy?
The aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of implementing a Comprehensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (CPRP) in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. The CPRP encompasses a training regimen combining aerobic exercise, resistance exercises, breathing exercises, and home activities, specifically tailored for patients with limited exercise capacity and impaired lung function. The study seeks to understand the physiological and biological effects of the CPRP in this patient population.
We will perform a parallel-group multicenter patient-level randomized controlled evaluation of skilled nursing facility care at home. Patients typically referred to a skilled nursing facility following hospitalization will be eligible for enrollment. Instead of admission to a skilled nursing facility, participants will receive care from a technology-enabled team in their own homes or will be allocated to receive care in a traditional skilled nursing facility setting.
Introduction: Advances in knowledge have contributed to the increase in the number of patients who survive prolonged hospitalization in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and, among them, critically ill patients who develop acute respiratory failure and need for mechanical ventilation. These individuals have their mobility restricted to bed, and may suffer from pulmonary and systemic complications, such as ICU-Acquired Muscle Weakness, which increases the chances of resulting in reduced functional capacity or death. Early mobilization in the ICU has demonstrated benefits, but still with a low level of evidence. However, the type and intensity of exercise still need to be better defined, and previous protocols did not offer continuous monitoring from the ICU to the ward and subsequent outpatient rehabilitation for these patients, which is considered a limitation in some studies. Objective: To investigate the effects of an early and intensive hospital mobilization and post-hospital rehabilitation program on indicators of functionality, inflammation, cost-effectiveness, and mortality in critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: This is a Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial that will be conducted in the ICUs of the Hospital das Clinicas and the Emergency Unit of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto of the University of São Paulo. Patients of both sexes over 21 years of age who have been under invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours will be recruited. Patients will be randomized into the Intervention Group (IG), with 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per day, and the Control Group (CG), with 10 minutes of exercise per day, both with the same protocol and based on the ICU Mobility Scale - IMS, with continuity in the ward. After hospital discharge, participants will be allocated to the Guidance Group (GIor and GCor) and the Outpatient Rehabilitation Group (GIreab and GCreab), with functional exercise capacity as the main outcome, assessed by the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Volunteers will be monitored one, three, and six months after hospital discharge. The sample calculation was based on the results of the 6MWT , with a power of 80% for the assessments carried out at the proposing institution (n=206), and with a power of 90% for the multicenter project (n=275), considering a sample loss of 30%. The following will be evaluated: clinical parameters, severity indexes, functionality, lung function and mechanics, functional exercise capacity, mortality, inflammatory markers, energy expenditure, activities of daily living, quality of life, muscle assessment, adherence, barriers and facilitators and cost-effectiveness.
The aim of the present study is to describe the course of functional recovery of patients with musculoskeletal tumours and undergone resection and reconstruction operations of lower limbs in the first six months post-surgery, differentiating them on the basis of the anatomical level involved.
Esophageal cancer imposes a significant burden in China, accounting for over 60% of the global disease burden. While surgery remains a common and highly effective treatment for esophageal cancer, patients often experience multiple physical and psychological symptoms postoperatively, severely affecting their recovery outcomes and quality of life. Although existing exercise or psychological intervention programs have shown some effectiveness, issues such as relatively singular intervention content, imprecise intervention timing, and vague intervention details persist. This project, based on previous research foundations (including the development of symptom measurement tools and the identification of key recovery periods), is guided by symptom management theory and knowledge translation models. Taking a perspective of the synergistic impact of physical and psychological symptoms, the study focuses on patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. Initially, evidence-based literature review, focus group interviews, and expert consultations were conducted to develop a combined exercise and psychological intervention program, integrating subjective (CSCA_EC) and objective (6MWT) measurement indicators, named "Recovery For EC." Subsequently, the program was preliminarily applied in clinical settings using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative quasi-experimental design (108 cases) and qualitative interviews to assess its acceptability. The final clinical trial version of the Recovery For EC program was developed to provide patients with a tool for self-monitoring recovery outcomes and offer clinical healthcare professionals guidance for implementing precise and personalized rehabilitation management.
This study concerns elderly person aged more than 65 years with autonomous mobility. It is a multicentric randomized trial in two arms : Arm one : remote consultation then physical consultation Arm two : physical consultation then remote consultation Consultations consist to take a Five Times Sit To Stand test, in physical consultation with physiotherapist in the same room and in remote consultation with a physiotherapist in the next room to the patient.
Asthma, a prevalent chronic condition among children and adolescents, substantially impairs their quality of life. In addressing this significant health concern, this study focuses on the potential of a customized exercise rehabilitation program tailored for this young demographic. By employing a randomized controlled trial design, the research aims to divide participants into two distinct groups: one undergoing a personalized exercise regimen and the other receiving standard medical care. The 12-week intervention for the exercise group includes a combination of aerobic activities, strength training, and targeted breathing exercises. The study's primary aim is to rigorously evaluate the impact of this specialized exercise protocol on critical health aspects such as lung function, physical endurance, frequency of asthma attacks, and overall quality of life. The anticipated findings from this research are expected to shed new light on effective asthma management strategies and offer invaluable guidance for clinical practices dedicated to improving health outcomes in young asthma patients.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding virtual reality therapy to conventional treatment in patients with chronic neck pain on pain, neck disability index, kinesiophobia, insomnia severity questionnaire, hospital anxiety depression scale, cervical range of motion and pressure pain threshold.
