Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the population of chronically critical ill patients who refer to respiratory rehabilitation units. The main questions it aims to answer are: - what are the clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of the population of chronically critical ill patients who refer to respiratory rehabilitation units after hospital admission with the need for prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy? - what is the response of this patient population to respiratory rehabilitation treatment in terms of functional recovery, weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, weaning from tracheostomy tube, mortality and return to home? - are there any appreciable indices at admission and/or in the first period of hospitalization which may have a prognostic significance both on short-term objectives (weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, weaning from the tracheostomy tube) and in the medium-long term (survival, state of health)? Participants will be subjected to a rehabilitation and weaning program consisting of: - physical therapy, - speech therapy, - nutritional assessment and therapy, - in subjects on invasive mechanical ventilation at admission a program of weaning and, if needed, shift from invasive to Non-Invasive Ventilation will be performed.

It will also learn about the safety of dezocine. Researchers will compare drug dezocine to Sufentanil to see if dezocine works to Improve postoperative pain and recovery quality for patients. Participants will undergo elective surgery and receive PCIA postoperatively，taking dezocine combine with sufentanil,or only sufentanil respectively. Visit the VAS score after connecting the analgesic pump 24h and 48h，and evaluate the Quality of Recovery -15 score.
On January 30, 2020, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared the new coronavirus pandemic as the sixth public health emergency of international concern. In February 2020, the virus was designated by the Coronavirus Study Group of the International Committee on Virus Taxonomy as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Many reports have described the appearance of olfactory or gustatory dysfunction simultaneously with other pre-established symptoms of COVID-19. Symptoms such as loss of taste or smell may appear 2 to 14 days after being infected with COVID-19. Worldwide, evidence regarding anosmia (loss of smell) and dysgeusia (change in taste) has been associated with COVID-19 infection. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of low-intensity laser in treating changes in smell and taste after COVID-19 infection and map which changes obtained the best results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is an intervention study whose sample will consist of 30 individuals with loss of smell and taste for more than 6 months after COVID-19 infection, aged 18 years or older.
Current clinical assessment tools are often not sensitive enough to detect and treat some subtle (yet troubling) problems after mTBI. In this study, the investigators will use wearable sensors to both assess and treat people with mTBI. Specifically, the investigators will provide immediate feedback, with visual and/or auditory, on movement quality during physical therapy. This immediate feedback on performance may improve outcomes as the investigators will measure multiple body segments including head movements simultaneously with balance and walking exercises. Such complex movements are needed for safe return to high level activity and military duty. The investigators will test this approach against a standard vestibular rehabilitation program. There are few potential risks to this study such as increasing symptoms and a small fall risk. Benefits include physical therapy for balance problems regardless of therapy with or without biofeedback. An indirect benefit is to have data on correct dosage of physical therapy. The investigators will also distinguish which concussion subtype profiles benefit most from physical therapy. This will help healthcare providers and patients by providing more information to help establish clinical guidelines and new tools for physical therapy.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 12-month Baduanjin exercise on physical fitness and bone density in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 50 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about and monitor the cross-sectoral rehabilitation process in older high-risk patients treated for at fragility fracture of the hip. The main questions aim to answer: - how patients are doing up to one year after hip fracture surgery on different outcomes across the continuum of rehabilitation being offered - what expectations, experiences and satisfaction patients have for the overall rehabilitation process after a hip fracture Participants age 65 and above with home address in Frederiksberg municipality, living in own home, admitted and treated for at hip fracture at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Bispebjerg Hospital, will be asked for participation.
The objective of this observational study is to assess the outcomes of a hospital-based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) program focused on exercise in cancer patients undergoing cardiotoxic treatment. This evaluation will be conducted by analyzing disease-related health indicators, functional capacity, and quality of life. Patients at risk of cardiotoxicity attending the Cardio-Onco-Hematology Unit will be offered the exercise program, which includes two modalities: in-person (center-based) and remote (home-based) options. The assignment to either modality is non randomized, based on the functional assessment conducted in the Rehabilitation Unit and the agreement between healthcare professional and patient. All participants will perform a 3-month supervised exercise intervention. There are 3 time points for assessment: at baseline (T0), 3-month after the exercise program (T1) and follow-up at 9 months from baseline (T2).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery compared to standard exercise on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? - Does the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? Patients will start their first exercise session on the day they will be discharged from the hospital. Patients in both exercise groups will be provided with cervical normal joint movement (ROM), posture and patient education on the day of discharge. They will be asked to do posture exercises and neck exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Patients in the stabilization exercise group (experiment) will undergo stabilization exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist, in addition to the practices in the standard exercise group. Both groups will do a warm-up program before exercise and a cool-down program afterwards. Patients will be asked to do the exercises face to face with a physiotherapist 3 days a week. The first evaluations will be made on the day they come to the outpatient clinic for examination before surgery. Post-surgical evaluations will be made routinely after the exercise program is completed, when they are called by the physician for a check-up (6th week). Researchers will compare the standard exercise group with the stabilization exercise group to see if pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscular endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level) are different.
Postural instability has a major impact on the mobility and daily life activities of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients as it often leads to reduced mobility, insecure stance and falls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of focal vibration on the static and dynamic balance of a group of Parkinson's disease patients with Hoehn and Yahr (HeY) stage II-III. They underwent three weeks of focal muscle vibration applied to the quadriceps, soles of the feet and trapezius muscles bilaterally in addition to conventional physiotherapy . The static and dynamic balance was assessed at baseline (T0), after 3 weeks of treatment (T1) and after 1 month from the last treatment (T2) with the Tinetti scale and stabilometry evaluations.
Studies across various sports and physical activities have consistently shown that females incur more injuries compared to their male counterparts, but the underlying reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood. While differences in hormone levels between males and females have been speculated to play a role, very little rigorous research has been conducted to directly examine potential connections between sex hormones and injury risk. Specifically, females have been shown to be at greater risk for hand and wrist injuries. The higher injury incidence begins at puberty and persists across the lifespan, suggesting a link to hormonal factors. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the relationships between the menstrual cycle, exogenous hormones from birth control, and risk factors for sports-related injury in females. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle strength and neuromuscular activation among females using monophasic oral contraceptives, females not using oral contraceptives, and males during one week of wrist/hand immobilization.
