Many patients suffer from severe shoulder complaints after breast cancer surgery and axillary lymph node dissection. Physiotherapy has been clinically observed to improve treatment of these patients. However, it is not a standard regime. The purpose this study investigate the efficacy physiotherapy function, pain quality life in who have undergone Thirty following dissection were included randomised controlled study. Assessments made at baseline three six months. group received standardised...
Objective Evaluation of the effect mime therapy, a novel therapy combining and physiotherapy, for patients with longstanding (at least 9 months) sequelae unilateral peripheral facial paralysis. Study Design Randomized clinical trial, treatment group receiving control forming waiting list. Setting Physiotherapy outpatient department two university medical centers. Patients There were 50 patients, 21 men 29 women, paralysis mean House-Brackmann score Grade IV. Intervention Mime including...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect TheraBite exercises on mouth opening and analyze factors influencing in a patient record evaluation.Effect with treat trismus evaluated 69 head neck cancer patients two university medical centers. Mouth measured as interincisal distance millimeters. Patient, tumor, treatment characteristics were analyzed for their relationship change opening. Variables univariately associated (p ≤ 0.05) entered logistic regression analysis possible predictors...
Background: The electronic, clinician-graded facial function scale (eFACE) is a potentially useful tool for assessing function. Beneficial features include its digital nature, use of visual analogue scales, and provision graphic outputs scores. authors introduced the instrument to experienced nerve clinicians feedback, examined effect viewing video tutorial on score agreement. Methods: Videos 30 patients with palsy were embedded in an Apple eFACE application. Facial invited perform rating...
Synkinesis is an involuntary movement accompanying a voluntary one. These unintentional movements are caused by undifferentiated regeneration of the facial nerve that occurs after being compressed or partially damaged. can affect eating, drinking, and speaking be socially distressing because asymmetry disruption intended emotional expressions.This study aims to describe frequency location synkinesis in patients with peripheral paresis.Patients were observed on video analyzed using...
This study aimed at validating an existing health-related quality of life questionnaire for patients with facial palsy implementation in the Dutch language and culture. The Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale was translated into using a forward-backward translation method. A pilot test performed 10 normal subjects. Finally, cross-cultural adaption accomplished our outpatient clinic palsy. Analyses internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity responsiveness were...
Many breast cancer patients experience arthralgia symptoms during aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment, which leads to poor compliance and a lower quality of life.The research questions this study were as follows: (1) What is the incidence AI treatment in early patients, (2) what impact AI-associated on hand function, daily activities, adherence, (3) does healthcare provider recognize relevant clinical practice?A total 57 University Breast Cancer Clinic participated study. Each patient...
The RealSense F200 represents a new generation of economically viable 4-dimensional imaging (4D) systems for home use. However, its 3D geometric (depth) accuracy has not been clinically tested. Therefore, this study determined the depth RealSense, in cohort patients with unilateral facial palsy (n = 34), by using validated 3dMD system as gold standard. were simultaneously recorded both systems, capturing six Sunnybrook poses. This shown that was affected (1.48 ± 0.28 mm), compared to healthy...
This study compared the effect of two forms chest physiotherapy. In "conventional" form physiotherapy, postural drainage was combined with percussion and directed coughing. The other, relatively new forced expiration technique, i.e. huffing drainage, breathing exercises and, if necessary, Eight patients (six cystic fibrosis, agammaglobulinaemia) took part in study. No difference found tracheobronchial clearance, regional lung sputum production or function between treatment. technique can be...
Nonsurgical rehabilitation of unilateral peripheral facial palsy (FP) varies globally with controversy regarding best practice.
Objective: To assess the stability of benefits mime therapy, a modality physiotherapy for patients with facial nerve paresis, during period 1 year. Study Design: A prospective follow-up build on randomized clinical trial in which treatment group is compared control group. Setting: Physiotherapy outpatient department. Patients: Forty-eight history paresis 9 months or more. Intervention: Mime therapy. Method: Sequelae were measured using same measurement instruments as trial-the Sunnybrook and...
AbstractIn a randomized cross-over trial, including control measurement the effect of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and forced expiration technique (FET) on tracheobronchial clearance was evaluated in eight chronic bronchitics with abundant sputum production (mean, 32 g/day). PEP consisted PEP-mask breathing interspersed exercises, huffing, coughing. FET postural drainage, Clearance measured radio-aerosol technique. At 40 min after start therapy mean clearance, expressed as percentage...
Standardization of outcome measurement using a patient-centered approach in pediatric facial palsy may help aid the advancement clinical care this population.To develop standardized set for patients with through an international multidisciplinary group health professionals, researchers, and patient representatives.A working experts representatives (n = 21), along external reviewers, participated study. Seven teleconferences were conducted over 9-month period between December 3, 2016,...
