Background: Patients with frozen shoulder show limited mobility often accompanied by pain. Common treatment methods include physiotherapy, pain medication, administration of corticosteroids, and surgical capsulotomy. Frozen lasts from months to years mostly affects persons in the age group 40 70 years. It severely reduces quality life ability work. Objective: The objective this study was evaluate feasibility a mobile health (mHealth) intervention that supports patients affected "stage two"...
Green exercise might have positive effects on health and affective states. Little is known about the ideal characteristics of natural environment, where conducted in. Thus, primary aim present study was to investigate anthropogenic elements acute stress-related physiological responses states in green exercise. Using a crossover field design, 52 healthy participants were exposed two different mountain hiking conditions: An environment with less an more elements. Pre post conditions, salivary...
(1) Background: The prevalence of allergic respiratory diseases is still rising and efforts towards holistic treatments should be made. Although speleotherapy widely applied in Europe to treat chronic airway diseases, the existing scientific evidence rather low. Recreational winter exercise has been shown improve inflammation, but little known about combined effects recreational exercise. (2) Methods: In this clinical study we investigated on adults with rhinitis and/or asthma. group (n =...
Introduction: The global rise of urbanization has much triggered scientific interest in how nature impacts on human health. Natural environments, such as alpine landscapes, forests, or urban green spaces, are potential high-impact health resources. While there is a growing body evidence to reveal positive influence these natural environments and well-being, further investigations guided by rigorous evidence-based medical research very needed. Objective: present study protocol aims at testing...
Patients with Frozen Shoulder suffer from a decreased mobility and pain. Exercise-based physiotherapy is common treatment patients mostly perform the exercises at home. Correct exercise performance compliance are main issues in home-based therapy of patients. To support diagnosed Shoulder, multimodal 3D smartphone app was designed, developed evaluated. Additional to ten potential users, one physician, five physiotherapists, three computer scientists, two artists HCI specialist were involved...
Although strong evidence shows that physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are associated with many negative health outcomes, inactive lifestyles still increasing. Consequently, new approaches must be developed to increase adherence an active lifestyle hence a longer life. Green exercise coaching could effective ways induce long-lasting changes geared towards more activity. In this randomized controlled trial, we investigated the effects of mountain hiking psychological on adults...
Sunlight controls endogen hormone balances and numerous health effects. Therefore, it is important to provide building users, such as schoolchildren, with sufficient daylight. Too much of it, however, leads overheating, which why shading systems are used. Consequently, these improve energy balance, but might not have positive effects on present people’s health. Within this study, were installed in classrooms a middle school: common two rooms, while others equipped blades “Schlotterer...
