Abstract Background Exercise has shown positive effects on fatigue, exhaustion, neuropathy, and quality of life in cancer patients. While on-land exercises have been studied, the aquatic environment offers unique advantages. Water's density viscosity provide resistance, enhancing muscle strength, while hydrostatic pressure improves venous return. This trial aims to investigate effect time return work, work hours, work-related difficulties, daily activity participation, life, neuropathy among...

Background: The conventional treatment for foot drop includes an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) or functional electrical stimulation (FES).Goal: To compare gait parameters in patients following a subacute post stroke with treated AFO FES.Method: Twenty one were fitted FES (N = 10) 11). Evaluations performed at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Spatiotemporal symmetry, dynamic electromyography, 10-m walk test, 6-min timed up go, ambulation classification, perception of improvement walking measured....

Progressive ataxic gait is a common symptom in individuals with Familial Dysautonomia (FD). At least 50% of adults FD require assistance walking. Our aims were to describe the medical condition (ii) compare their characteristics healthy individuals, and (iii) assess correlations between measures, presence unstable pattern frequency falls.Twelve subjects (7 males, age 25.3±10.6 years) 16 participants (6 35.9±11.9 recruited. Gait kinematics, symmetry, dynamic muscle activity, foot deep...

Virtual reality enables the manipulation of a patient's perception, providing additional motivation to real-time biofeedback exercises. We aimed test effect manipulated virtual kinematic intervention on measures active and passive range motion (ROM), pain, disability level in individuals with traumatic stiff shoulder. In double-blinded study, patients shoulder following proximal humerus fracture non-operative treatment were randomly divided into non-manipulated feedback group (NM-group; n =...

Individuals with post-polio syndrome (PPS) suffer from falls and secondary damage.To (i) analyze the correlation between spatio-temporal gait data fall measures (fear frequency of falls) to (ii) test whether parameters are predictors in PPS patients.Spatio-temporal 50 individuals (25 males; age 65.9 ± 8.0) were acquired during while performing Timed Up-and-Go test. Subjects filled Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) reported number past year.ABC scores correlated...

Abstract Virtual Reality allows to manipulate the patient’s perception, thereby providing a motivational addition real-time biofeedback exercises. We aimed test effect of manipulated virtual kinematic intervention on measures active and passive Range Motion (ROM), pain, disability level in individuals with traumatic stiff shoulder. In double-blinded study, patients shoulder following proximal humerus fracture non-operative treatment were randomly divided into non-manipulated feedback group...

Background: During the rehabilitation of individuals post stroke, evaluations are performed in order to discern patient’s prognosis and optimize treatment plan. However, these tests do not focus on gait symmetry, which might be a predictor for outcomes. We aimed correlate symmetry measures subacute stroke patients with outcome find measure that best predicts variability duration. A secondary aim was compare between right left brain lesions. Methods: recruited 30 (14 side lesion). collected...

One of the recommendations for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is use specific footwear, such as sturdy or cushioned shoes. However, long-term effects using shoes on pain and spatiotemporal gait parameters in OA are yet to be reported. We therefore aimed compare efficacy sport footwear versus sham motor functions, characteristics who used 3 months. In a double-blinded study, we provided 26 12 similar without cushioning The analysis, timed up go (TUG) test Western Ontario McMaster...

Background: Cognitive bias may appear in occupational therapists’ interpretation of physical examinations. Since different strategies for decision making have been shown to reduce bias, its quantification is an essential first step towards awareness and reduction. Our aims: (1) quantify cognitive by testing the differences assessment lateral pinch force modulation between young older adults, women men; (2) test a correlation tendency bypass intuitive response degree bias. Methods:...

Regaining the ability to independently ambulate following a physical disability can increase functional and participation of patients in daily life. Gait trainers are assistive devices that enable body support provide safety during gait. However, most conventional gait pre-configured constant position, therefore not suitable for practicing sit-to-stand function, require assistance from caregiver order mount device sitting position. We evaluated effectiveness dynamically-adjusting trainer,...
