Filter by:Within the scope of this study, COPD patients will be divided into two groups according to cognitive dysfunction. Pulmonary function test, COPD assessment scale, Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, 6 min pegboard ring test, grip strength measurement, Fatigue Impact Scale and St.George Respiratory Questionnaire will be applied to the groups.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether spinal alignment and spinal mobility have an effect on upper extremity functions in Parkinson's patients. In the light of the data obtained as a result, we think that our study will also contribute to determining the factors that may cause upper limb dysfunctions seen in Parkinson's patients and will guide new treatment-oriented studies to be carried out in the future.
This research is being performed to characterize the rowing stroke in active and inactive individuals who use a manual wheelchair. The investigators will be looking at muscle activity of four shoulder muscles (upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and posterior deltoid) and motion of the arms, shoulder blade, and trunk during rowing. This will be done for three rowing conditions (1: adapted rowing ergometer, 2: rowing ergometer from a chair, 3: standard seated row exercise using an elastic band [TheraBand]). The investigators are also looking at shoulder strength, range of motion, quality of life, and community participation.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk training on trunk control, upper extremity, and pulmonary function in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). 26 children with DMD aged 5-16 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups (study and control). The study group exercised with the trunk-oriented exercise program and the conventional exercise program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, whereas the control group underwent the conventional exercise program under the supervision of their families at home for 8 weeks. Trunk control, the upper extremity function and respiratory function test were assessed before and after the 8-week exercise program in this study.
To investigate the effect of whole body vibration on upper limb motor function in hemiplegic patients with subacute stroke
With Leap Motion Controller, virtual reality exercises have been implemented more often since 2014, and this technology has benefited more from upper extremity rehabilitation In literature, there are no publications investigating the effectiveness of virtual reality applications on upper extremity functions in cases of mental retardation with Leap Motion. We think that virtual reality applications with Leap Motion are effective in fine motor skills and grip strength in cases of mental retardation. The purpose of our work; To Investigation of the Effectiveness of Video Based Games on Upper Extremity Functions in Mild Mental Retardation Diagnosed Cases
Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: 1. Multiple injection group: Axillary brachial plexus block with multiple injections, with the arm abducted, performed with the aid of ultrasound; 2. Single injection group: Axillary brachial plexus block with a single injection, with the arm placed behind the head and the elbow flexed, performed with the aid of ultrasound
This project aims to test a new technology that may improve hand function impaired from a stroke, thereby improving independence and quality of life.
Brachial plexus block is a frequently used technique for upper extremity surgery. All present approaches and techniques have certain advantages and disadvantages. It's necessary to develop a new approach to brachial plexus block which 1) provides reliable anesthesia, 2) is easy to perform, 3) isn't restricted by posture, 4) provides extensive sensory distribution, 5) causes as few complications as possible, 6) easily place a secured catheter for post-operative analgesia. The investigators established the retrograde infraclavicular brachial plexus block approach. The investigators compared and verified the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this new approach with other classic approaches to brachial plexus block.
This Research study aims to investigate the long term effectiveness of a workstation ergonomic intervention for work-related posture and low back pain (LBP) of Video Display Terminal (VDT) workers
