The main objective is to update the diagnostic assessment of frailty by correlating several variables with the ultrasound image of the frail elderly patient. Secondarily, the investigators intend to collect and analyze data on functional capacity and quality of life variables on the evolution of musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as on pain and psychological variables. Similarly, it is intended to make a record of different profiles and subtypes of frail older adult patients to be stored in Big Data in order to establish therapeutic intervention plans that allow both the evaluation and treatment of patients.
BACKGROUNDː The reverse nordic hamstring exercise is developed for the eccentric work of the rectus femoris. After performing Nordic exercise protocol (its original), the relationship between increased eccentric hamstring strength, improvements in sprint capacity and reduced incidence of injuries can be confirmed. The review of evidence, led us propose the relationship and the possible benefits that could exist in the performance of four weeks of reverse nordic exercise protocol and the vertical jump, measured with countermovement jump test (CMJ) on a platform of jump. METHODSː An open randomized controlled trial was conducted, with an intervention and control group, to which they were randomly assigned. The sample was made of 19 players from the San Antonio de Murcia Catholic University Team in the youth A category, aged between 16 and 18 years old. The experimental group (n=10) performed the reverse nordic hamstring exercise protocol for four weeks, in addition to the usual training that they shared with the control group (n=9). Data collection for the CMJ test was done before starting the protocol and immediately after finishing it for all participants. Statistical analysis was carried out with the SPSS program.
Lymphedema is an inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of excess water, plasma proteins, as well as extravascular blood and parenchymal cells in the affected upper and lower arms, chest and/or trunk due to inadequate lymphatic carrying capacity, associated with high-severity, recurrent soft tissue infections that can lead to sepsis and even death. It is a disease. Although there is no definitive treatment for lymphedema disease, a Complex Decongestive Treatment approach, including manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression and self-care, has been defined to slow the progression of the disease and prevent secondary complications. In addition, similar to vagus nerve activation with manual lymphatic drainage, parasympathetic nerve activation has been defined. system activation can be increased. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on quality of life, grip strength and dexterity in unilateral upper extremity lymphedema patients. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study will be lymphedema patients in Gaziosmanpaşa Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, and the sample will be 27 volunteer patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was planned as a single center (Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital). Participants will be randomly divided into three groups. Subjects will be instructed to draw an envelope from a secret box. Each envelope will contain a yellow, red and blue card and they will be assigned to one of the 3 groups of the study accordingly. Only the Complex Decongestive Treatment (manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression) approach will be applied to the first group, Complex Decongestive Treatment and sham transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation to the second group, and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in addition to Complex Decongestive Treatment to the third group. The third party who has access to the box containing the envelopes will not be involved in the study. The data collected from the patients will be entered into the SPSS 21.0 package program, a data set will be created and statistical analyzes will be performed.
The goal of this intervention study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as compared to placebo improves performance in track and field athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can performance be improved 2. Can strength be enhanced 3. Will positive body composition changes occur (lean vs fat mass) 4. Will feelings of muscle soreness be diminished Participants will take either omega-3 fatty acid supplements or placebo and continue with their sport specific training regimen. Researchers will compare the supplement group to placebo group to determine if there are any significant differences.
The main purpose of our study is to assess whether guided strength training and stretching intervention with a written home exercise program is more effective than a home exercise program alone for pre-clinical dental students in improving and preventing pain associated with dental laboratory practice. Secondary aims will be to assess relationships between strength and quality of life measures of an individual and pain levels.
In recent years, sports have become popular, and major gyms or private exercise studios have been opened continuously. A dazzling array of course content allows students to choose according to their preferences. Therefore, how to improve students' compliance with gyms or classrooms, and increase exercise frequency to develop exercise habits , is the current problem faced by the industry. However, in the case of limited time, the academic side is looking for more effective training courses, and the industry side is trying a variety of courses that are more attractive to the public, hoping to be different from the previous types of sports, improve the motivation of public sports, increase the frequency of exercise and then Maintain exercise habits. Compared with aerobic dance, boxing, yoga and Pilates, ballet is a niche course, but more and more studies have pointed out that ballet can effectively improve posture, improve lower limb muscle strength, and improve cognitive, executive memory, and working memory. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of ballet courses on lower limb explosiveness, static balance, dynamic balance, cognitive executive function and working memory of exercise studio students. degree and become one of the courses chosen by students for their classes.
Neck pain is in fourth place among the pathologies that result in the state of disability. Acute neck pain improves greatly within 2 months, while neck pain that persists for more than 3 months takes the form of chronic neck pain. Pain adversely affects people's activities of daily living. Treatment applications such as electrotherapy, hot and cold applications are applied for purposes such as reducing pain and muscle spasm and correcting functions. In addition to such treatment options, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and foam roller therapy have been started to be applied in many disease groups in recent years and have attracted great attention. iASTM and Foam Roller is a technique that involves the use of tools in disorders of musculoskeletal pathology and to help heal soft tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of foam roller technique with instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique in individuals of different ages with chronic non-specific neck pain. According to the data obtained, the techniques the investigators will use, together with physiotherapy programs, contribute to the treatment of individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain and to the literature.is expected to provide.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) technique can be used for non-pathological conditions as it has been shown in previous literature to affect flexibility and normal range of motion. The use of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique has been claimed to be an effective treatment in increasing tissue temperature, reducing adhesion to connective tissue and increasing collagen adaptation and increasing flexibility and normal range of motion. The instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique works on the facial connective tissue in the body. This connective tissue contains "sheaths of collagen, which form the cavities and muscle divisions that mainly cover the organs." In some studies, they stated that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization increased perfusion, while in some studies they stated that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization increased blood circulation. The frequency of ultrasonography (USG) examinations for the musculoskeletal system has increased over time with technological developments and USG has entered daily use in the evaluation of various pathological conditions belonging to this system thanks to its comparable results with MR examinations. The unique advantages of USG such as low cost, easy availability, relatively short examination time, and dynamic real-time comparison with the contralateral side have made it easier to use for musculoskeletal examinations. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique on strength, flexibility, balance, fascia and adipose tissue thickness in healthy individuals.
