Abstract Objective To evaluate whether a structured exercise programme improved functional and health related quality of life outcomes compared with usual care for women at high risk upper limb disability after breast cancer surgery. Design Multicentre, pragmatic, superiority, randomised controlled trial economic evaluation. Setting 17 UK National Health Service centres. Participants 392 undergoing surgery, postoperative morbidity, (1:1) to (n=196) or alone (n=196). Interventions Usual...
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of questionnaires in Brazilian Portuguese to evaluate patient-reported lower limb function. OBJECTIVE: To translate, cross-culturally adapt the population, and psychometric properties Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). METHOD: The LEFS was translated by two independent assessors back-translated English. Then, LEFS-Brazil tested on 20 patients who answered questionnaire cross-cultural adaptation phase. For evaluation properties, 100 questionnaire. reliability...
Approaches to rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair are variable but typically include 4-6 weeks of immobilisation followed by a gradual introduction movement and activity. However, research has questioned whether such an approach is optimal. The aim this study was undertake updated survey understand practice evolved in line with contemporary research.An electronic developed describing three case scenarios (medium-sized [2 cm], large-sized [4 cm] biceps tenodesis). Clinicians involved...
Background Upper limb problems are common after breast cancer treatment. Objectives To investigate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a structured exercise programme compared with usual care on upper function, health-related outcomes costs in women undergoing surgery. Design This was two-arm, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial embedded qualitative research, process evaluation parallel economic analysis; unit randomisation individual (allocated ratio 1 : 1). Setting...
Despite the high number of operations and surgical advancement, rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair has not progressed for over 20 years. The traditional cautious approach might be contributing to suboptimal outcomes. Our aim is assess whether individualised (early) patient-directed results in less shoulder pain disability at 12 weeks full-thickness tears compared with current standard (delayed) rehabilitation. (RaCeR 2) study a pragmatic multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled...
Wrist movements have been identified as an important factor in producing a successful golf swing, with their complex motion influencing both club head velocity and orientation. However, detailed analysis of wrist angles is lacking the literature. The purpose this study was to determine kinematics across wrists characteristics during swing under weak, neutral strong grip conditions. Twelve professional male golfers executed 24 shots using driver three A six degrees freedom hand respect distal...
Objectives To explore the experiences of women with breast cancer taking part in an early physiotherapy-led exercise intervention compared those receiving usual care. understand physiotherapists’ experience delivering trial intervention. acceptability and issues related to implementation Prevention Of Shoulder Problems (PROSPER) programme from participant physiotherapist perspective. Design Qualitative semistructured interviews thematic analysis. Setting UK National Health Service....
INTRODUÇÃO: A fraqueza da musculatura paraespinhal está relacionada à etiologia dor lombar. Atualmente existem vários métodos que apresentam exercícios para o fortalecimento dessa musculatura. OBJETIVOS: Comparar e analisar sinal eletromiográfico do músculo multífido bilateralmente durante método Pilates, série de Williams Spine Stabilization. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Participaram estudo dez mulheres voluntárias saudáveis realizaram os leg pull front support modificado quarto exercício adicional...
Soccer matches consist of a variety different activities, including repeated sprints. Time to attain velocity (TTAV), load range (LR) and the torque-angle-velocity relationship (TAV<sub>3D</sub>) represent an important measurement muscle performance, however there are few related studies. The aim this study was compare these outcomes between soccer players age category. 17 professional (PRO) under-17 (U17) were assessed for concentric knee flexion/extension at 60, 120 300°/s. For extensor...
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was described kinematic characteristics gait in stroke patients with two different arteries involved. [Subjects and Methods] Two who had suffered a basilar (A) or middle (B) cerebral artery ischemic were compared control (C). Seventeen inertial sensors used acquisition rate 120 Hz. participants walked 3 times on 10 meter walkway. From raw data, three cycles from each trial chosen analyzed. [Results] During stance phase, A B lower hip angle at initial...
The aims of this study were to determine the motor unit behavior erector spinae muscles and assess whether differences exist between dominant/nondominant sides back muscles.Nine healthy women, aged 21.7 years (SD = 0.7), performed a extension test. Surface electromyographic decomposition data collected from both decomposed into individual action potential trains. mean firing rate for each was calculated, regression analysis against corresponding recruitment thresholds.The ranged 15.9 23.9...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle activity in soccer players can be measured by isokinetic dynamometer, which is a reliable tool for assessing human performance. Objectives: To perform analyses and to determine variables differentiate the under-17 (U17) category from professional (PRO). Methods: Thirty four were assessed (n=17 each category). The used knee extension-flexion analysis were: peak torque (Nm), total work (J), average power (W), angle of (deg.), agonist/ antagonist ratio (%), three...
Optimum physiotherapy management for people with a conservatively managed primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is not known. The purpose of the ARTISAN trial to compare clinical and cost-effectiveness course usual care single session self-management, intervention. UK multi-centre, two-arm, parallel group, randomised controlled 1:1 treatment allocation.The intervention was developed following Medical Research Council framework developing evaluating complex interventions will be...
