Abstract Background Influence of sarcopenia in combination with other body composition parameters and muscle strength on outcomes after oesophageal surgery for cancer remains unclear. The objectives were (i) to describe the incidence relation adipose tissue quantity distribution strength; (ii) evaluate if neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRTx) influences (iii) influence post‐operative morbidity long‐term survival. Methods This retrospective study included patients who received nCRTx followed by...
ObjectiveInternational guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as primary treatment for all patients with intermittent claudication (IC), yet endovascular revascularisation (ER) might be more effective in iliac artery obstruction.MethodsThis was a multicentre RCT including IC caused by stenosis or occlusion (NCT01385774). Patients were allocated randomly to SET ER stratified maximum walking distance (MWD) and concomitant SFA disease. Primary endpoints MWD on treadmill (3.2...
Background Following the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, telerehabilitation (TR) has been expanding to address challenges and risks in-person delivery. It is likely that a level TR delivery will continue after pandemic because its advantages, such as reducing geographical barriers service. Many pandemic-related initiatives were put in place quickly. Therefore, we have little understanding current delivery, facilitators, how therapists anticipate integrating into practice. Knowing this...
Background Improvement of functional status with physiotherapy is an important goal for patients postoperative complications and increased length hospital stay (LoS) after esophagectomy. Supervised telerehabilitation instead conventional face-to-face care could be alternative to treat these in their home environment discharge (T0), but its feasibility has not yet been investigated detail. Objective The aim this study was investigate the a 12-week supervised intervention esophageal cancer who...
Preoperative functional status is a risk factor for developing postoperative complications (POC) in major abdominal and thoracic surgery, but this has hardly been evaluated esophageal cancer patients undergoing esophagectomy. The aim of prospective cohort study was to determine if preoperative associated with POC. From March 2012 October 2014, scheduled esophagectomy at the outpatient clinic large tertiary referral center were eligible study. We measured inspiratory muscle strength, hand...
Mechanical ventilation affects the respiratory muscles, but little is known about long-term recovery of muscle weakness (RMW) and potential associations with physical functioning in survivors critical illness. The aim this study was to investigate course RMW its association functional outcomes patients who received mechanical ventilation.We conducted a prospective cohort 6-month follow-up among illness ≥ 48 hours invasive ventilation. Primary outcomes, measured at 3 timepoints, were maximal...
This study investigates the feasibility of delivering inspiratory muscle training as part physical therapy treatment for patients with post-COVID dyspnoea.Mixed-methods pilot study.Patients complaints dyspnoea after COVID-19 infection and their therapists.The Amsterdam University Applied Sciences Medical Centers conducted this study. Participants performed daily at home 6 weeks, consisting 30 repetitions against a pre-set resistance. The primary outcome was assessed acceptability, safety,...
Background and Purpose: Decreased muscle mass strength are independent predictors of poor postoperative recovery in patients with esophageal cancer. If there is an association between strength, physiotherapists able to measure as early predictor for due decreased mass. Therefore, this cross-sectional study, we aimed investigate the predominantly older cancer awaiting esophagectomy prior neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Methods: In resectable eligible surgery March 2012 October 2015, used computed...
Telemonitoring (TM), as part of telehealth, allows physiotherapists to monitor and coach their patients using remotely collected data. The use TM requires a different approach compared with face-to-face treatment. Although telehealth capability framework exists for health care professionals, it remains unclear what specific capabilities are required during physiotherapy treatments.
