Background and aim: Although mirror therapy (MT) phantom exercises (PE) have been shown to reduce pain, the efficacy of these methods in terms quality life (QoL) psychological status (PS) has not investigated compared date. The aim this study was determine whether there is any difference between MT PE treatment limb pain (PLP). Materials methods: Forty unilateral transtibial amputees (aged 18-45 YR) participated study. Subjects were randomly divided into ‘MT group’ ‘PE group’. QoL assessed...

Reports in the rehabilitation literature suggest that patients with trans-femoral amputation ambulate well after suitable prosthetic treatment. The effects of exercise protocols on function, however, have not been documented this population. This study was conducted to compare outcome traditional and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques weight bearing gait. Fifty unilateral amputees who were attending for their first prosthesis, participated study. Amputees randomly...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether reaction time in persons with intellectual disabilities can be improved an exercise program. 50 children and adolescents ( M age = 14.7 yr., SD 1.4, range 11–18) mild disability without Downs syndrome were randomly divided into control (20 boys, 5 girls) experimental (19 6 groups. group participated a structured physical fitness program for 12 weeks. Reaction assessed at baseline after Significant improvements observed the but not group....

To investigate the effects of phantom limb exercises on pain.A total 20 traumatic amputees participated in study. Ten received and prosthetic training, 10 were treated with routine training a general exercise programme. Intensity pain was evaluated using 10-cm visual analogue scale before therapy after 4 weeks therapy.Baseline scores similar between groups. Pain intensity decreased all subjects treatment both According to at end weeks, group differed significantly from (p < 0.05).Phantom...

The role of thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in the development chronic low back pain (CLBP) has growing evidence literature. Although CLBP is reported individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (IS), its relationship TLF yet not been established. This study aims to evaluate and IS.

Purpose This study was planned to investigate falls, their frequency, reasons, and consequences in the older patient with lower limb amputations. Methods Twenty-five patients amputations were included study. A questionnaire for falling applied. Functional levels of these determined according Medicare Level System. Results The revealed that except 5 amputations, subjects had experienced an incident once or more than once. common reasons falls turned out be losing balance, stumbling on...

Gait variability is a determinant of qualified locomotion and useful for monitoring the effects therapeutic interventions. The aim this study was to compare gait symmetry in trained individuals with transtibial (TT) amputation transfemoral (TF) amputation.The design planned as observational. Eleven TF amputation, 14 TT healthy (HI) were evaluated motorized treadmill. mean step length, length variability, an ambulation index, time on each foot (stance phase symmetry) participants...

This retrospective study was designed for the period 1982 – 2002 to collect basic data on demography, level and side of amputation, involved limbs, age, gender, prosthetic functional in children with limb loss. A total 232 were assessed through their records. Seventy-two percent (195 children) presented lower-limb involvement, 28% (77 had upper-limb The age varied between 1 15 years a mean 9.90 ± 2.32 years. Results revealed that leading amputation cause congenital absence. most frequent...

Background/aim: A few studies have been carried out in lower limb amputees (LLAs) and they examined the incidence of reasons for low back pain. The aim this study was to assess effectiveness a school program LLAs with mechanical pain (MLBP). Materials methods: Forty male unilateral transfemoral MLBP were randomly allocated into two groups. applied Group 1 over 2 weeks. booklet home use given each participant 2. Pain assessed using visual analogue scale. Spinal flexibility measurements...

Buerger disease is a nonatherosclerotic, segmental inflammatory of the occlusive tract, often involving medium-sized muscular and small-diameter arteries veins extremities. If medical treatment not successful, amputation inevitable. The aim this study was to investigate effect different kinesiological taping techniques on walking parameters transtibial amputee with knee extension limitation. Two methods (Kinesio Tape Dynamic Tape) were applied patient Walking performance patients assessed...

Background: Amputation is a major life-changing event and regarded as one of the loading causes permanent disability. However, amputation often changes in painful nonpainful sensory experiences. Pain after has been shown to increase functional limitations caused by limb loss lower quality life. Objective: This study aimed examine effect pain on activity participation individuals with unilateral below-knee amputations according International Classification Functioning, Disability, Health....

Amaç: Bu çalışma, pes planus olan ve olmayan erkeklerde fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya yaşları 18 - 45 yıl arasında değişen, Feiss çizgisine göre deformite derecesi 2 üstünde tanısı konulmuş 50 gönüllü (deney grubu) sağlıklı birey (kontrol alınmıştır. Bireylerin demografik özellikleri testleri değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcıların uygunluklarının değerlendirilmesinde postür analizi, kısalık testleri, manuel kas esneklik tek ayak...

This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of prosthetic rehabilitation in children with congenital malformations, also determine whether there were any factors related family history and pregnancy which could have affected formation such deficiencies. Twenty-five (25) limb deficient provided prostheses received rehabilitation. A detailed researched through records. The ability performing activities daily living scored on a four point scale. Thirteen (13) lower 12 upper mean age...

ABSTRACT Introduction The thoracic cage has a direct relation with the spine and thereby scoliosis affects spinal morphology. aim of study is to investigate effects 1-year conservative treatment on geometric morphology in patients adolescent idiopathic (AIS). Methods Thirty-six AIS were assessed retrospectively for initiation at follow-up. Patients divided into two groups based intervention method: exercises-only group (ExG) brace plus exercises (BrG). posteroanterior lateral radiograph each...

In individuals with transtibial amputation, the distal part of lower extremity is lost. Therefore, knee joint greater importance to be able provide physical performance. The aim this study was evaluate correlation between position sense and functional performance in amputation.The included 21 subjects amputation. A digital inclinometer used amputated side joint. timed up go test, 4-square step 10-m walk test were Linear regression analysis investigate associations independent variables...

Purpose: Virtual reality is widely used in patients with chronic musculoskeletal problems. However, the short-term effects on individuals transtibial (TT) amputation during this process remain unclear. This study aimed at investigating of virtual rehabilitation outcomes TT amputees. Methods: The included 20 amputees who were using prostheses. participants divided into two groups randomly as follows: physiotherapy (PT) and (VR). Participants treated 3 days a week, for 4 weeks, evaluations...
