Filter by:Mobile phones have different uses in different disciplines, and this encourages long-term use. For optimum comfort use, it is important to ensure users' awareness when purchasing mobile phones that match their hand sizes. The number of studies in the literature on this subject is limited. In this context, the aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between smartphone and hand anthropometry measurements and upper extremity pain and functions.
The investigator aims to conduct an open pilot study (N=12; 10 completers) to test the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of an asynchronous web-based mind-body intervention (Toolkit for Resilient Life beyond Pain and Substance Use; Web-TIRELESS) for adult patients with a comorbidity of non-traumatic painful upper-extremity condition(s) (NPUC) and risky substance use. Deliverables: 1) Adapt and refine open pilot protocol, patient recruitment, and other study materials. 2) Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of Web- TIRELESS in preparation for a future feasibility RCT. Participants will complete 4 on-demand video sessions at their own pace (approximate pace of 1 session per week) and complete baseline and post-test assessments. participants may also partake in an exit interview to provide feedback on Web-TIRELESS to further refine the program and study protocol for future iterations.
This study aims to determine the relationship between upper extremity pathologies and demographic data, duration of manual wheelchair use, duration of injury, physical examination and musculoskeletal ultrasound measurements in patients with spinal cord injuries.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of action observation therapy and mirror therapy on upper extremity functions in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. In the study, the 1st group is the Action Observation Therapy group and will receive 18 sessions of practice. The second group is the mirror therapy group and will receive a total of 18 practice sessions. To evaluate the outcome measures of children's upper extremity functions; Canadian Occupational Performance Mesure (COPM), Goal Achievement Scale (GAS), Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Function Scale (SHUEE), Melbourne Unilateral Upper Extremity Function Evaluation Test and ABILHAND Questionnaire will be used. The satisfaction of the families with the therapy process will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Aim of this study to provide a urdu version of Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire, that will be more understandable for Pakistani People.
Although spasticity, contractures and muscle weakness in children with CP are disorders that can be observed more easily and are more focused and given more importance in evaluation and treatment approaches; Inadequate or loss of selective motor control negatively affects motor functions to a greater extent. It is very important to reveal the causes and consequences of selective motor disability in children with spastic cerebral palsy, in terms of creating effective treatment plans. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 100. The study will be carried out in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Research and Application Hospital, Department of Pediatrics. In our study, demographic information will be filled in, and lower extremity selective control assessment scale (SCALE) for lower extremity, upper extremity selective control scale (SCUES) for upper extremity, and sensory assessment (touch, two-point discrimination and proprioceptive sensory assessment) will be performed on the patients who accepted the study.
Background: Vibratory stimulation is one of several non-pharmacological techniques used to reduce pain. Local vibration therapy generates vibrations that can penetrate up to 6 centimeters into the tissue and is utilized to manage muscle tone, alleviate localized pain, and induce an increase in blood and lymphatic circulation. This therapy is most commonly used to treat chronic pathologies of the muscles, tendons, and joints. A few studies investigating the effects of local vibration therapy on skeletal muscles and joints have found it to be beneficial in improving joint mobility and decreasing pain. Previous reports have indicated that whole-body vibration can suppress chronic low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and peripheral neuropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the application of vibration stimulation on upper extremity injection-induced pain and satisfaction. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of vibration stimulation application on upper extremity injection pain and satisfaction. Methods: An electrical massage kit that induces vibration will be used on adult patients who are scheduled to receive local anesthesia or corticosteroid injections in their upper extremities. Two validated scales will be used to first assess the pain after the injection and the patient's satisfaction following the use of the vibration device.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) defines a group of permanent disorders in the development of movement and posture, which occur in the developing fetal and newborn brain, due to non-progressive disorders, leading to activity limitations. In addition to the traditional rehabilitation interventions used in upper extremity rehabilitation, a new treatment method, Action Observation Therapy (AOT), has been added recently with the discovery of the Mirror Neuron System. AOT; By watching the videos prepared, mirror neurons are activated and these activities are learned through imitation. Activation of mirror neurons strengthens voluntary motor movement by strengthening the affected nerve pathways or by creating alternative pathways. AOT is an easily applicable method as telerehabilitation because it is based on watching and replaying video recordings. Virtual Rehabilitation (VR); It is another treatment approach applied to improve the motor functions of children with CP and created with the contribution of developing technology. It has been reported that activities have a positive effect on motor learning due to their intense, task-oriented, active participation and high motivation. Within the scope of this thesis, the effect of AOT and VR to be applied at home, which has been on the agenda for upper extremity, on the trunk and upper extremity will be examined in detail and a contribution will be made to the literature.
In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the block dynamics and characteristics of the two approaches while providing effective analgesia and safe anesthesia of the Ultrasound-guided Lateral sagittal Infraclavicular and costoclavicular approach in Brachial plexus blocks.
