In the critical patient, lung ultrasound is routinely performed for acute respiratory distress, adult respiratory distress syndrome and for hemodynamic evaluation. Its diagnostic performance is superior to that of chest radiography in the context of pleuropulmonary parenchymal pathologies. The search for lung sliding is performed to diagnose a pneumothorax or to search for the correct placement of the endotracheal intubation tube. However, this analysis is qualitative and is sometimes difficult to interpret. At present, there is no global evaluation technique at the patient's bed allowing to analyze simultaneously the alveolar recruitment, the pulmonary over-distension and the quality of the lung sliding, whereas the pulmonary damage is most often heterogeneous. The justification of our research project is based on the need to develop and validate a means of global and regional quantification of the mechanical and aeration properties of the lung parenchyma by the analysis of the acoustic markers of the pleura (pleural strain) by the ultrasound technique of speckle tracking. The aim is to establish the normal values of the pleural strain in healthy volunteers, in spontaneous ventilation and then in non-invasive mechanical ventilation, in order to vary the lung volume.
The purpose of this study is to check reliability and validity, of translated Urdu version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool develop and test its psychometric properties and responsiveness in Urdu speaking population in Pakistan endure with Ankle sprain and ankle instability complaints.
RV longitudinal shortening fraction (RV-SLF) is based on the analysis of the tricuspid annulus displacement (TAD) and can be performed in transthoracic (TTE) or transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Having an 2D-STE interchangeable parameter would allow accurate measurement of RV systolic function before, during and after cardiac surgery. However, to date, there are no data on the interchangeability of RV-LSF measurements performed in TTE and TEE. The aim of the study is to evaluate the interchangeability of TTE and TEE measurements of RV-LSF during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Ankle Sprains are the most common injury in Athletes and have a high rate of recurrence, pain, dynamic balance and disability is the leading cause of season break in athletes with chronic ankle sprain so as we see post isometric relaxation and Mulligan MWM are the useful techniques used to minimize pain, improve dynamic balance and to restrain athlete from disability due to chronic ankle sprain. This study will be a randomized clinical trial,non probability convenience sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of athletes will be taken in this study to find the effect of post isometric relaxation and mulligan mobilization with movement in athletes.
Walking aids (WA), such as crutches, canes, and walkers allow individuals to move independently after lower body impairment. Improper WA use may lead to upper body discomfort, pain, or injury. Improper WA use has been associated with increased risk of falls, which may result in traumatic brain injury or even death. WA-related accidents and injuries may not only affect an individual patient's quality of life; they may also increase healthcare system resource use and caregiver burden. WA-related injuries may be preventable if WA are properly fit and sufficient training is provided to the WA user. Smartphone applications (apps) are widely used technologies that have been used to improve health outcomes in populations of healthy and chronically ill individuals. We have developed an app that can be used to teach WA users how to properly fit and use their devices. This app is called Improving Canadians' Walking Aid skills, Learning, and Knowledge (ICanWALK©). The development of the Walking Aids Skills Measurement Test (WASMT ©) allows for the objective measurement of how well an individual uses their walking aid. It is important to develop such a measurement in order to see whether interventions such as mobile applications change a walking aid user's ability to walk with their device. This 12-item objective evaluation measures the ability of an individual to use their walking aid in different settings, while picking up an object off the ground, navigating stairs, or encountering terrains such as gravel or grass. Three hypotheses will be explored through this clinical trial. Hypothesis 1: Patients who use the ICanWALK© app while using crutches will have improved balance confidence compared to the control group. Hypothesis 2: Patients who use the ICanWALK© app while using crutches will have improved balance, improved mobility, less pain, and fewer falls compared to the control group. Hypothesis 3: The WASMT © will have an inter-rater reliability of 70% (k=0.85).
The goal of this prospective, open label study is the construction and the evaluation of a composite score evaluating the residual instability in patients who have undergone an ankle's ligamentoplasty (the Ankle Go Test score). The main hypothesis of this study is based on the fact that the composite score "Ankle Go Test" would allow a global validation of all the criteria of scores of 4 tests and 2 questionnaires, which are performed in common pratice, evaluating the instability of the ankle after an ankle ligamentoplasty. Participants will have to complete 2 questionnaires (FAAM, ALR RS) and to undergoe 4 tests (Single Leg Stance Test, Side Hop Test, Start Excursion Balance Test, La figure of 8), at 4, 6 and 12 months post surgery. Researchers will compare the group of participants who undergone ankle's ligamentoplasty with a group of healthy volunteers to assess the discriminant validity of the Ankle Go Test score
Various stretches are used to lengthen the posterior shoulder capsule. No study has reported the comparison of the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and cross body stertch
There is no study in the literature comparing both kinesiotaping and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) with conventional physical therapy in upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, we aimed to make this comparison.
