Filter by:The investigators aimed to evaluate long-term sarcopenia in patients with total and distal gastrectomy by measuring the anterior thigh muscle with USG, which is a more specific and easy method.
The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the effectiveness and safety of the low load blood flow restriction training program. The intervention effect, tolerance and compliance of low load blood flow restriction training and progressive resistance training on lung cancer patients complicated with sarcopenia during chemotherapy will be compared, in order to provide new ideas for improving or reversing sarcopenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can low load blood flow restriction training improve sarcopenia in chemotherapy induced lung cancer patients? Which training method is more effective and tolerable between low load blood flow restriction training and progressive resistance training? Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups： 1. Routine care group (Control group, CON): The researchers will provide participants with regular exercise and dietary guidance. 2. Low load blood flow restriction group (LL-BFRT): The researchers will provide participants with a low load blood flow restriction training program constructed by our research group. 3. Progressive resistance training group (PRE): The researchers will provide participants with progressive resistance training.
Prospective multicenter longitudinal (observational) study recruiting from tertiary centers for the surgical management of esophageal cancer; Virginia Mason Medical Center (Seattle, USA) and St Mary's Hospital (Imperial College, London, UK). This is intended to be a pilot study.
This study (study type: cross-sectional) aims to investigate the relationship of sarcopenia level with balance, fear of falling and risk of falling in the elderly female population. In the first stage, 166 participants were divided into two groups: sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia. Afterwards, they were categorized according to sarcopenia level (probable sarcopenia group, sarcopenia group, severe sarcopenia group, group without sarcopenia) and comparisons were made between these subgroups. Then, they were evaluated with various scales and tests (in terms of balance, fear of falling and risk of falling).
To study the effect of mindfulness meditation combined with progressive muscle relaxation training on clinical efficacy and quality of life in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with sarcopenia. Eligible sarcopenic patients in our hospital were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 24) and an intervention group (n = 25). The control group received conventional dialysis treatment, while the intervention group received mindfulness meditation combined with progressive muscle relaxation training during the interdialysis period in addition to conventional dialysis treatment. The effect of the intervention was evaluated after 12 weeks.To observe whether the combined intervention training can improve the motor ability and quality of life of patients with sarcopenia in a short period of time.
introduction:The aim of this study was to show the relationship of distal femoral cartilage and quadriceps thicknesses with functional status and presence of sarcopenia in ambulatory stroke patients with voluntary movement. Materials and Method: Forty-eight patients who were diagnosed with stroke due to cerebrovascular disease, had started voluntary movement, and had a motor recovery of 3 or above according to Brunnstrom's Staging were included in this cross-sectional study.
HIC1® compound has a presence in the form of a gel, which facilitates its oral intake (direct or diluted with water) and also administration through gastrostomy tubes or nasogastric tubes. All received a dose of 30 grams of gel.
The goal of this study is to identify the needs and requirements of end-users regarding the implementation of a lower-limb exoskeleton in a remote home setting. The end-users include older adults with sarcopenia, post-stroke individuals and physiotherapists. The main question it aims to answer is: • What are the needs and requirements of the end-user population when developing a lower-limb exoskeleton that can be implemented in a remote home setting? Participants will engage in three separate focus group sessions, in which they will discuss the predetermined topics. Interactions between the participants will be guided by open questions.
The proposed study will examine the use and effectiveness of a novel strength training device - The S-Press within an NHS environment. The S-Press is a portable exercise device that can be used seated or lying down and specifically targets the knee extensors and flexors. The knee extensors are particularly important in the performance of activities of daily living such as rising from a chair, walking up and down stairs and walking. Resistance training is the most effective strategy to help to reduce muscle wasting in response to ageing or chronic disuse; however as current in-patient settings likely fail to produce an overload stimulus to the muscle for hypertrophy and strength gains, there is a need to develop new interventions and equipment to help deliver this. The S-Press is designed by a Physiotherapist with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving physical function in patients who may be confined to their bed or chair or unable to join in with standard physiotherapy treatments. This mixed methods study will examine the efficacy of the S-Press to improve muscle size using B-Mode Ultrasound and physical function, using sit to stand x5 with use over 6 weeks, alongside the qualitative experience of the use of the S-Press through a one to one semi structured interview.
Sarcopenia and frailty could be prevented and rehabilitated through individual physical activities in the form of combined exercise that could be practiced at home in daily life.
