Background: The high failure rate after surgical repair of massive rotator cuff tears is a consistent problem. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes arthroscopic with bone marrow stimulation patch augmentation in patients tears. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: This study included 21 who underwent (group 1) 54 conventional 2) for Postoperative were evaluated based on visual analog scale (VAS) pain, simple shoulder test (SST), University...
Background Diagnosis and treatment of flatfoot are often overlooked. Current diagnostic methods, such as lateral foot radiography physical examination, primarily assess simple static conditions. The Footscan test can be employed to evaluate the dynamic balance patients with flatfoot; however, precise reference value for various results remains undetermined. Objective This study aimed contribute body knowledge regarding diagnosis by identifying objective differences between without flatfoot....
Background: Recently, the application of smartphone in medical field has received great attention.Introduction: The objective this study was to compare effectiveness smartphone-based and conventional pedometer-based exercise monitoring systems promoting home among prostate cancer patients.Methods: Prostate patients who have undergone surgery or androgen deprivation therapy were recruited. All participants provided with physical activity goals based on their activities advised achieve these...
Abstract Background Ambulatory and balance functions are important for maintaining general health in humans. Gait analysis allows clinicians researchers to identify the parameters be focused on when assessing ambulatory functions. In this study, we performed gait with pressure sensors gait-analysis related hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 102 patients who underwent analysis. Correlations between various temporospatial motor assessed using...
Prevention and treatment of vocal fold scarring atrophy remain challenging. The aim this study was to treat injured folds using autologous adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) evaluate the ability prevent by ADSCs in a canine animal model. Ten adult dogs were used for experiment. from tissue inguinal area isolated cultured all dogs. Immediately after being mixed with atelocollagen, (1-3 x 10(6)) injected into right each animal, syringe 23-gauge needle. As control, atelocollagen left...
The MEK inhibitor, selumetinib, reduces plexiform neurofibroma (PN) in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Its safety and efficacy adults PN effectiveness other NF1 manifestations (eg, neurocognitive function, growth reduction, café-au-lait spots) are unknown.
Abstract We developed a new exercise method called the submandibular push that can strengthen suprahyoid muscle by inducing only motion of hyoid bone without neck flexion. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare activity infrahyoid muscles in course performing three different swallowing exercises. Twenty healthy participants fifteen patients with dysphagia were recruited. Each participant consecutively performed exercises: Shaker, CTAR, To activation, surface electromyography was...
To evaluate the degree to which paralysis of a dominant hand affects quality life (QOL) in patients with subacute stroke.We recruited 75 hemiplegic stroke. Patients were divided into two groups according location lesion and side hand. Group 1 consisted whose strokes affected (i.e., right hemiplegia or left hand). 2 non-dominant The primary outcome measure was Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36), used health-related QOL. Secondary outcomes scores on Modified Barthel Index (MBI) Beck...
Abstract Several exercise methods, such as the Shaker exercise, tongue press chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) and submandibular push have been introduced to strengthen muscles involved in swallowing. In this study, we compared effectiveness of CTAR, push, exercises for induction selective supra- infrahyoid muscle contractions using surface electromyography (EMG). This study is a prospective non-randomized controlled study. Twenty-five healthy subjects 20 patients experiencing swallowing...
To evaluate the effect of hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on quality life (QOL) and physical ability in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).Patients MI who were referred to Cardiac Health Rehabilitation Center 2 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention divided into CR non-CR groups. The group performed supervised exercises 3 times a week for months. QOL assessment, using 36-item Short-Form Survey (SF-36) evaluation at beginning end CR.The demonstrated statistically...
Background and objectives FTY720 ((2-amino-2-)2-[4-octylphenyl]ethyl)-1,3-propanediol) is an Food Drug Administration (FDA)-approved immunomodulatory drug for treating multiple sclerosis. It inhibits lymphocyte egression from lymphoid tissues by downregulating sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor (S1PR). To date, there has been no study on the effects of chronic stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) rodent model, despite its antiallodynic effect in previous studies. Thus, aim this to...
Objectives: YouTube is well known for providing easy access to various kinds of video content. In this study, we investigated the quality and reliability videos on addressing exercise or dysphagia management in pediatric population. Methods: Video were assessed by using Global Quality Scale (GQS) a modified DISCERN tool, respectively. The accuracy information each was also evaluated. Other information, including source, length, date upload, as number views, likes, dislikes, comments...
Gait disturbance in central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is one of the most troublesome problems that has a direct impact on quality life. However, associations between gait other clinical variables these two diseases have not been fully elucidated.This study aimed to evaluate using computerized analysis its association with various patients MS NMO.A total 33 (14 19 NMO) minor disabilities, who were able walk...
Introduction: The Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS) is used to predict the long-term prognosis of dysphagia in patients with strokes. However, inter-rater reliability VDS was low a previous study. To overcome mentioned limitations VDS, modified version (mVDS) created and clinically applied evaluate its usefulness choosing feeding method for stroke dysphagia. Methods: videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) data 56 were collected retrospectively. We investigated presence aspiration...
This study aimed to compare gait analysis and balance function measurements, such as the Berg scale (BBS) score seek specific measurements that can represent functions of patients with brain lesions. Additionally, we also compared other different scores measurements. included 77 lesions admitted our institution between January 2017 August 2020. Their parameters clinical data, including personal data; diagnosis; duration disease; cognition, ambulation, stair-climbing sub-scores modified...
Abstract There are conflicting hypotheses regarding the initial pathogenesis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). One hypothesis characterizes it as inflammation median nerve caused by compression, while another CTS non-inflammatory fibrosis subsynovial connective tissue (SSCT). This study aimed to investigate differences in ultrasonography parameters before and after a steroid injection, which is effective for CTS, elucidate mechanisms action injected steroid. Fourteen hands from 14 healthy...
Abstract Background: Corticosteroid injection is beneficial in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to its anti-inflammatory effects. However, side effects limit widespread usage. Recently, several studies have found that polydeoxyribonucleotide offers capabilities with fewer effects, making it an ideal alternative. Nevertheless, there has been no study on effectiveness patients CTS. Therefore, we evaluate the of Based criteria, 30 CTS who received two-consecutive injections (with a...
The videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) is used to predict the long-term prognosis of among patients with condition. Previously, a modified version VDS (mVDS) was established overcome relatively low inter-rater reliability VDS, and verified in dysphagia, such as stroke patients. However, validity mVDS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has never been proved. Therefore, this study, we attempted seek score ALS suffering from dysphagia. Data swallowing study (VFSS) 34 were retrospectively...
