In our previous report, 3 of 10 patients with spinal cord injury who were injected autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) showed motor improvement in the upper extremities and activities daily living.To report on results a phase III clinical trial MSCs therapy.Patients selected based following criteria: chronic American Spinal Injury Association B status had more than 12 months cervical injury, no neurological changes during recent vigorous rehabilitation. We 1.6 × into intramedullary area...
To compare the effects of lumbar stabilization exercises and dynamic strengthening on maximal isometric strength extensors, pain severity functional disability in patients with chronic low back (LBP).Patients suffering nonspecific LBP for more than 3 months were included prospectively randomized into exercise group (n=11) or (n=10). Exercises performed 1 hour, twice weekly, 8 weeks. The extensors was measured at various angles ranging from 0° to 72° intervals 12°, using a MedX. visual analog...
Objective The incidence of hip fractures is increasing worldwide with the aging population, causing a challenge to healthcare systems due associated morbidities and high risk mortality. After in frail geriatric patients, existing comorbidities worsen new complications are prone occur. Comprehensive rehabilitation essential for promoting physical function recovery minimizing complications, which can be achieved through multidisciplinary approach. Recommendations required assist providers...
Strength measures should be normalized by body mass; however, the definition of sarcopenia includes only simple grip strength. Thus, we compared relationship strength and divided weight or mass index to two major consequences sarcopenia, namely metabolic syndrome poor quality life. Data from participants (aged 60 years older) Sixth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination were analyzed. Metabolic was defined according Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines with some modifications...
Dysphagia is a common clinical condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It sub-classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia, which refers to problems the mouth and pharynx, esophageal body esophagogastric junction. can have significant negative impact one's physical health quality of life as its severity increases. Therefore, proper assessment management dysphagia are critical for improving swallowing function preventing complications. Thus guideline was developed provide...
To investigate the inter-rater agreement using Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS).The present study was designed as a multicenter, single-blind trial. A Swallowing Study (VFSS) performed protocol described by J.A Logemann. Thick-fluid, pureed food, mechanically altered regularly textured and thin-fluid boluses were sequentially swallowed. Each participant received 3 ml bolus followed 5 of each food material, in order mentioned above. All procedures video recorded. Discs containing these...
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in blood glucose and cortisol levels after glucocorticoid injections into epidural space or glenohumeral joint patients with without diabetes.Twenty-nine sciatic shoulder pain were included. Fasting plasma measured at baseline. After injection, again 1, 7, 21 days. divided four subgroups according presence diabetes site injection.In all subgroups, fasting significantly higher 1 day injection but returned baseline 7 days injection. Compared...
To identify risk factors for dysphagia in tongue cancer patients. Dysphagia is a common complication of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy Previous studies have attempted to patients with head neck cancer, but no focused specifically on patients.This study was conducted 133 who were diagnosed underwent videofluoroscopy swallowing (VFSS) between January 2007 June 2012 at the Asan Medical Center. Data collected from VFSS analyzed retrospectively. Patients aspiration identified.Patients...
To determine the diagnostic value of voice analysis to screen for patients with high risk clinically significant aspiration.A total 93 referred a videofluoroscopic swallowing study were included in study. Voice analyses performed before and after study, five acoustic variables measured, including average fundamental frequency, relative perturbation, shimmer percentage, noise-to-harmonic ratio, turbulence index. The divided into two groups based on results study: high-risk group who had...
BACKGROUND The prognostic role of swallowing‐related, pretreatment subjective and objective findings has not been investigated in detail. authors evaluated the association between MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) or videofluorographic swallowing study (VFSS) results standard outcomes, including early recurrence survival, patients with treatment‐naïve head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS Patients HNSCC (n = 191) who received treatment at authors' institution were examined...
Objectives To examine the association between type and amount of physical activity (PA) low back pain (LBP) in people aged ≥50 years. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting A nationwide survey. Participants Data were obtained from Fifth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted 2010 2011. Overall, 1796 men 2198 women years included. Methods PA categorized as vigorous, moderate, walking, strength exercises, or flexibility exercises. The total presented quartiles...
Although several studies have shown that obesity affects low back pain (LBP), the relationship between degenerative lumbar spine (LSD) and has not been fully investigated. This study evaluated whether is independently associated with LSD in general population.This cross-sectional used public data from Fifth Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2010-2012). Subjects aged ≥50 years who had completed surveys were included (3668 men 4966 women). Obesity was classified based on...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the impact of knee pain and low back (LBP) on quality life (QoL) in people ≥50 years age. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting A nationwide survey. Participants total 1295 men 1658 women aged from Fifth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted 2010. Methods Knee LBP were assessed by a questionnaire, QoL was EuroQol (EQ)‐5D, consisting EQ‐5D descriptive system visual analogue scale (EQ‐VAS). Multiple linear regression models used to...
To evaluate the effect of pre-emptive swallowing stimulation on recovery function in long-term intubated patients.Patients intensive care unit for at least 48 hours due to respiratory distress from March August 2004 were randomly divided into two groups. Fifteen patients mean age 55.39+/-17.9 years stimulated (experimental group) and 18 61.39+/-13.5 not (control group). The duration intubation was 15.59+/-6.7 days experimental group 15.79+/-6.5 control group. Duration 7.39+/-3.6 days. After...
