Background Postoperative balance disorders in older adults after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis are commonly attributed proprioceptive joint deficits. Both Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Focal Vibration (FV) can improve proprioception. Aim To examine the combination of a PNF exercise program quadriceps tendon FV TKA osteoarthritis. Methods Ninety who underwent were randomly assigned three groups 30. The Group followed 6-week starting four weeks...
Elderly falls constitute a global problem with huge social and economic aspects. Fall risk factors are both intrinsic (physical psychological) extrinsic (related environmental safety).
Background and Objectives: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) persists beyond 12 weeks. Manual therapy recommended for CNLBP demonstrates short-term efficacy. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) teaches patients to modify perception through explanations, metaphors, examples, targeting brain re-education. Motivational Interviewing (MI) enhances motivation behavioral change, steering away from ambivalence uncertainty. These approaches collectively address the multifaceted nature of...
Abstract Objectives To determine the safety and efficacy of a video‐supported Cawthorne–Cooksey exercise program (CCEP) in improving balance, dizziness decreasing fear falling older adults with balance deficits dizziness. Methods Thirty‐two were divided into two groups (intervention control). The intervention group followed CCEP group, while control received written instructions to maintain their usual activity counselling on fall prevention. Balance was assessed using Berg Scale (BBS), Fall...
Background and Objectives: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is defined as that lasts longer than 12 weeks. Capacitive resistive electric transfer (TECAR) therapy utilizes radiant energy to generate endogenous heat widely used for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. The aim this study was investigate efficacy manual (MT) program combined with TECAR in individuals CNSLBP. Materials Methods: Sixty adults CNSLBP were randomly divided equally into three groups. first group...
The main treatment aim in mild scoliosis is to prevent progression and if possible, avoid bracing. Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) are curve pattern specific exercises, based on 3D self-correction activities of daily living training.
Background: The Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and represents 60% its cases. characterized by cognitive, non-cognitive functional deficits it's incurable. main this study was to examine effects aerobic exercise in combination with music therapy memory exercises cognitive ability on a patient that have been affected middle type (Second stage) disease.Methods: Thirty patients from Chronic Diseases Center, disease, divided between an intervention control group,...
: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) affects individuals aged 10-18 years and is characterized by spinal deformity, three-dimensional axis deformation, vertebral rotation. Schroth method exercises braces have been shown to reduce the Cobb angle halt deformity progression. The aim of this study was investigate impact a 12-month, supervised exercise program on scoliosis severity quality life in adolescents with AIS.
Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is defined as that lasts longer than 12 weeks.
 Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of manual therapy (MT) program combined with Capacitive and Resistive Electric Transfer (TECAR) in individuals CNSLBP.
 Method: Sixty adults CNSLBP were randomly equally divided into three groups. The first group followed an MT protocol lumbar region (MT group), second same TECAR + group) using a conventional capacitive electrode well...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) constitutes a major sociomedical problem, impacting approximately 0.32-0.64 million people each year worldwide; particularly, it impacts young individuals, causing long-term, often irreversible disability. While effective rehabilitation of patients with SCI remains significant challenge, novel neural engineering technologies have emerged to target and promote dormant neuroplasticity in the central nervous system.This study aims develop, pilot test, optimize platform...
Background: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is considered the most common form of neuropathy with symptoms such as pain, decreased sensation, leg ulcers and can even lead to lower limb amputation. The inclusion electrotherapy in treatment program significantly contribute rehabilitation these individuals then reduce or eliminate DPN, thus improving their quality life. aim this review gather recent research data on efficacy people DPN. Google Scholar, PubMed PEDro databases were searched...
BACKGROUND: Both spinal manipulation (SM) and Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) have a positive effect in individuals with chronic neck pain (CNP), especially when they are combined therapeutic exercise (TE). However, it has not been determined which of the above combinations is more effective patients CNP. OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy two different manual techniques (SM INIT), same TE program management METHODS: Eighty women CNP, allocated into four groups 20 persons...
