Filter by:The effectiveness of various external applications (strapping and splinting) on grip strength, pain intensity, symptom level, and functional status in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been compared in this study. Comparative testing was conducted with exercise and mobilization applications (carpal bone mobilization, yoga, tendon and nerve gliding exercises, neurodynamic mobilization, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage, and standard soft tissue massage) in control groups, placebo groups, and groups undergoing other non-surgical treatments (orthotic application, steroid injections, and other physical agents). Criticisms regarding these studies include bias, lack of blinding, and small intergroup differences. In the literature, evidence supporting the beneficial effects of splinting and strapping applications on CTS is reported to be of low quality, emphasizing the need for higher-quality studies. In light of the information obtained, this study aims to compare the effects of different external applications (strapping and splinting) on grip strength, pain intensity, symptom level, and functional status in CTS.
It is aimed to compare the effect of two different splints on carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnant individuals after 4 weeks of use.
Muscles that are frequently injured in the extensor group are extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor digitorum communis. Injury of these muscles is seen as lateral epicondylitis in the clinic. Physiotherapy techniques are frequently applied in the management of diseases related to forearm extensor muscles such as lateral epicondylitis. Various orthoses such as lateral epicondylitis band, wrist orthosis, dynamic extensor brace are used for this. Studies have been conducted on pain, hand function and orthosis satisfaction of different types of lateral epicondylitis orthoses, and the number of studies investigating the effects on muscle activation is insufficient.Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of different types of orthoses used for the forearm extensor group on extensor muscle activation and upper limb functions.
The objectives of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) were: 1. To compare the efficiency of splinting by two composite materials in terms of retention of material 2. To compare adhesive point dimension between the two groups 3. To compare time taken to place and remove the splint 4. To assess the efficacy of bulkfill flowable in reducing mobility of luxated teeth.
Occlusal splints are employed in the treatment of sleep bruxism. These appliances decrease sleep-related actions and damages bruxism, like grinding, tooth-wear, headache, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Occlusal splints are produced both in hard and soft forms according to the used material. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of occlusal splint type on the sleep quality and occlusal force parameters of patients with sleep bruxism.
Background: Ankle fractures are some of the most common orthopedic presentations, however, controversy in their management and their post-operative rehabilitation protocols exist. Most displaced ankle fractures treated with anatomical reduction and stable internal fixation to allow early range of motion by allowing rigid fixation and restoration of ankle joint congruence. Post-operative rehabilitation protocols varies between surgeons and institutions with the majority emphasising early rehabilitation protocols. The use of a splint. The rational for splinting ankle fractures after rigid fixation is to decrease pain level, rest the soft tissues and prevent equinus deformity. Up to date there is no scientific research to question the benefit of routine use of splints after rigid fixation of ankle fractures. Methods: A prospective multi-centre randomised control trial. Approximately fifty patients will be enrolled from 3 hospitals (Adan, Mubarak and Farwaniya hospital) over a 1 year period. The studied sample will be randomised into 2 groups using computerised randomisation software: splint group and no-splint group. The patients will be examined at set intervals for pain, swelling, deep-vein thrombosis and a set of scoring tools. The tools include: visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot score, physical and radiological assessment at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year intervals. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program (SPSS) will be used for statistical analysis Results/outcomes: Functional scores, symptoms and signs, complications, radio-graphic and clinical follow up will be recorded.
This study compared pre-fabricated and custom resting hand splints among people who were in inpatient rehabilitation after a cervical spinal cord injury.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and possible benefits of 3D-printed made to measure splints for postoperative or post-traumatic treatment in hand surgical patients (intervention group) in comparison to thermoplastic splints individually adjusted by occupational therapists (control group).
Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is the most common reason for pain and limited function of the masticatory system. The low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and occlusal splint therapy (OST) are therapeutic options for MPDS. This study aims to evaluate the effect of LLLT and OST on pain relief and mandibular movement improvement in patients with myofascial pain.
The aim of this prospective, randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of preoperative skin traction and position splint on pain, comfort, complications, difficulty level of nursing interventions, satisfaction from treatment and nursing care in patients with hip fracture. The sample is comprised of 34 patients with hip fracture in each group, totally 68 patients. Skin traction and position splint were applied after block randomization. Data regarding pain, comfort, satisfaction from care, immobilization comfort, complications, time of operation and hospitalization time were collected after intervention.
