Introduction: Electrical modalities represent a therapeutic modality employed in rehabilitation settings aimed at augmenting or facilitating the recovery of individuals afflicted with diverse neurological musculoskeletal diseases. This intervention requires application electrical currents to targeted regions body, typically administered via electrodes positioned on skin, intent eliciting physiological responses and fostering benefits. An examination its trajectory through various analytical...

Background Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) represents a relatively new vestibular diagnosis that has garnered attention within the medical community. Consequently, there is pressing demand for efficacious management strategies. Objective To assess comparative effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) versus rehabilitation therapy (VRT) in improving PPPD symptoms. Methods We randomly assigned cohort 42 individuals conclusively diagnosed with to two distinct groups. The...

Abstract Background Attentional loadings have significant impacts on turning performance in individuals with stroke. Improper gait modification before may contribute to falls after Therefore, examination of the changes temporal‐spatial parameters reveal important deficits control when stroke survivors are challenged by dual‐tasking. Objective To compare effects 3 attentional loading conditions spatial‐temporal between and healthy subjects. Design Case‐control study design. Setting University...

This study compares energy expenditure (EE), gait parameters (GP), and level of fatigue (LOF) between 5-minute walking with sharp turning (ST) corner (CT). Data were obtained from 29 community-dwelling elderly (mean age, 62.7 ± 3.54 years). For 5 minutes, in ST task, participants walked on a 3-meter pathway 2 cones placed at each end (180° turning), while CT 6-meter 4 corners (90° turning). The physiological cost index, pedometer, 10-point Modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale used to measure EE...

[Purpose] To compare the lower limb joint range of motion and muscle length between different types foot posture, determine correlation with balance performance. [Subjects Methods] Ninety individuals (age, 65.2±4.6 years) were assessed using Foot Posture Index to their type (Normal [0 +5], pronated [+6 +9], supinated [−1 −4]; n=30 per group). The (goniometer), (goniometer tape measure), performance (functional reach test four square step test) measured for each participant. Data analyzed...

Telemedicine diabetes mellitus (Tele-DM) mobile health (mHealth) tool functionality, usefulness, and user feedback were examined in this study. Data from nine distinct users of type-2 (T2D) patients, healthcare professionals (HCPs), administrators was analyzed to determine functionality. retrieval times increased with database data amount, according the A 3-month program five T2D patients reduced weight (0.98 kg) Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (0.34%). This shows that Tele-DM helps manage diabetes,...

AbstractAbstractBackground: Little is known about the effects of attentional loading on performance turning during walking in individuals with stroke. Objective: The authors used a cross-sectional experimental design to compare gait parameters stroke survivors across 3 conditions (single, dual-motor, and dual-cognitive conditions) Timed Up Go (TUG) test. Methods: Data were collected from 20 (12 males, 8 females; mean age, 60.5 ± 10.6 years). We compared number steps time measured TUG test...

To determine the effects of Paraplegia Fitness Integrated Training (PARAFiT) program, which is an integrated graded physical exercise and health education program for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). This nonrandomized single-blind study included 44 participants, who were assigned to either intervention group or active control (conventional physiotherapy) group. The underwent PARAFiT (8 weeks), consisted circuit-based interval training, progressive upper limb resistance sessions....

Attentional loadings deteriorate straight walking performance for individuals poststroke, but its effects on turning while remain to be determined. Here we compared kinematics under three attentional loading conditions (single, dual-motor, and dual-cognitive task) between stroke survivors healthy controls. Nine chronic 10 controls performed the Timed Upand- Go test their full-body were recorded. Onset times of yaw rotation head, thorax pelvis segments head anticipation distance used quantify...

Background. Tasks requiring simultaneous mobility and cognition (dual tasks) have been associated with incidence of falls. Although these deficits documented in individuals neurologic disorder, the effect dual task children traumatic brain injury has not fully explored. Objective. To investigate dual-task (dual-motor dual-cognitive task) conditions on spatiotemporal gait parameters during timed up go test injury. Methods Material.
