Filter by:Upper extremity hemiparesis is one of the most common symptoms after stroke. Robot-assisted therapies have been used as an approach to rehabilitation of upper extremity hemiplegia in recent years. Robot-assisted therapy is an approach to post-stroke rehabilitation that uses robotic devices to provide motor or task-oriented training to patients. When the literature is examined, there are studies showing that robot-assisted therapies are similar or superior to conventional methods. In order to provide the most effective rehabilitation approach in upper extremity robots, it is suggested that it may be more accurate to consider the robotic device as a training platform consisting of various therapeutic techniques and principles, not as a tool alone. A robotic system will be used to overcome the disadvantages of the existing robotic systems in the literature such as not providing support to the patient at the time of need, not providing fluidity in shoulder movements by not taking into account the scapulohumeral rhythm in upper extremity movements, long installation times, and ignoring task-oriented training. The system to be used is a self-aligning exoskeleton system for robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation. The system provides safe and versatile rehabilitation at increasing intensity and also allows for objective assessments. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a muscle-mimicking, fabric-type shoulder orthosis on functional movements of the upper limb in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the impact of the muscle-mimicking, fabric-type shoulder orthosis on upper limb functional movements in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy? - Are there observable differences in upper limb function when the shoulder orthosis is worn versus when it is not? Participants will: - Receive education on how to wear and use the shoulder orthosis. - Undergo evaluations, including assessment of upper limb performance, shoulder muscle strength testing, active range of motion measurements, assessment of functional workspace, goal attainment scale evaluation, surface electromyography, physiological measurements such as blood pressure and heart rate, fatigue assessment, and assessment for any musculoskeletal or skin-related issues. Researchers will compare Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients before and while wearing and operating the shoulder orthosis to see if there are any significant effects on variables such as upper limb function, range of motion, functional workspace, goal attainment scale, and surface electromyography.
The goal of this pilot study is to study the effect of Vojta therpy on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy. The main questions are: - to study the effect of Vojta therapy on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy in terms of range of motion and function - to study the effect of Vojta therapy on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy in terms of motion analysis while perform function
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. The incidence rate has reached approximately 16%. According to 2016 data from the Ministry of Health, the incidence of breast cancer in Turkey is 46.8 per 100,000 people and approximately 17,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. While breast cancer survival rate is 80% in developed countries, this rate varies between 40-60% in low-middle income countries. Survival can be increased with early diagnosis and more effective treatment methods. However, a wide range of treatment-related complications are observed during and/or after breast cancer treatment. Cancer survivors are exposed to a variety of direct (local/regional therapy, systemic therapy and supportive care) and indirect factors (modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors) that can have adverse effects on pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematologic and musculoskeletal components. Oxygen consumption in cancer patients may be adversely affected by aging, deconditioning, existing comorbidities, cancer pathophysiology and cancer treatments (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy). Although decreased functional capacity is common after breast cancer treatment, there are few studies evaluating maximal arm exercise capacity with oxygen consumption.
Volleyball is an interval sport involving consecutive aerobic and anaerobic loads. Strength training based on explosive movements can improve performance in the upper extremities. Strength performance has an important place in this sport. Trunk stabilization is defined as 'proximal stability for distal mobility'. Disorder in any segment of the kinetic chain model will affect the quality of movement in the lower and upper segments.The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the morphological features of the transversus abdominis, lumbal multifidus (L4-5), internal external oblique muscles, and the anaerobic power of the upper extremity and shoulder girdle functionThis study was designed as a cross-sectional. They will consist of 30 volleyball players between 14-30 years of age. Muscle morphological features of the participants by ultrasound; explosive strength will be evaluated by Medicine Ball Throw test, functional evaluation will be evaluated by Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Endurance test.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a competition season on shoulder periarticular structures, muscle strength, muscle endurance, joint range of motion and upper extremity performance in young swimmers.
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.
