Objective: To determine the association of postural control with muscle strength, proprioception, self-reported knee instability and activity limitations in patients osteoarthritis. Methods: A total 284 osteoarthritis from Amsterdam Osteoarthritis cohort were included.Postural was assessed using One-Leg Stand Test (OLST), which asked to stand on one leg for 30 s. Muscle strength (isokinetic dynamometer), proprioception (joint motion detection threshold) (episodes buckling, shifting or giving...
Background Studies exploring long COVID condition (LCC) in low- and middle-income countries are scarce. Further characterization of LCC patients experiencing activity limitations their associated healthcare use is needed. This study aimed to describe patients’ characteristics, its impact on activities, Latin America (LATAM). Participants Individuals who (cared for someone or) had COVID-19 could read, write, comprehend Spanish lived a LATAM country were invited complete virtual survey....
the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services, beyond research contexts, on patients with lung diseases other than COPD requires further study.to (i) assess impact a publicly funded PR patients' exercise capacity, self-efficacy, and health-related quality life (HRQoL), (ii) explore whether effects vary across diseases.this retrospective pre-post study analyzed data from Winnipeg Regional Health Authority program between 2016 2019.682 completed full program. Pooled analyses found...
Objective Many individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2 experience long-term symptoms as part of a syndrome called post-COVID condition (PCC). Research on PCC is still emerging but urgently needed support diagnosis, clinical treatment guidelines and health system resource allocation. In this study, we developed method identify cases using administrative data report prevalence predictive factors in Manitoba, Canada. Design Cohort study. Setting Participants All Manitobans who tested positive for...
Background: Urinary lithiasis is a prevalent condition worldwide, with recurrence rates up to 50% within five years. Ureteroscopy (URS) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are the preferred treatments for stones smaller than 20 mm, often involving radiation exposure. Fluoroless ureteroscopy (F-URS) has emerged as potential method reduce radiation-related risks patients healthcare personnel. Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted, including over 18 years ureteral or...
Objective This study aims to characterise respondents who have COVID-19 and long COVID syndrome (LCS), describe their symptoms healthcare utilisation. Design Observational cross-sectional survey. Setting The one-time online survey was available from June 2022 November capture the experience of residents in Manitoba, Canada. Participant Individuals shared with including symptoms, suggestive LCS We used descriptive statistics patients COVID-19, explore respondent health system use based on...
Abstract Background The characteristics of optimal virtual pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for individuals with post-COVID syndrome (PCS) have not been identified. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and satisfaction associated a PR program exercise component delivered through group or self-directed sessions. Methods Adults PCS-respiratory symptoms were randomly assigned video conference (PR VC ) SD completed an (aerobic, strengthening, breathing exercises) three times/week...
To examine the association of serum CRP and ESR with muscle strength in patients knee OA.Cross-sectional data from 285 OA Amsterdam Osteoarthritis (AMS-OA) cohort were analysed. (mg/l) (mm/l) measured patients' blood samples values dichotomized for analyses. Strength quadriceps hamstring muscles was assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer. Univariable multivariable linear regression analyses used to assess strength, adjusting relevant confounders.Elevated levels (β = -0.10; P 0.04) -0.12;...
To assess the effect of an interprofessional educational activity on professional skills, attitudes, and perceived challenges toward obesity management among front-line healthcare providers. A one-day education was organized for providers across various disciplines. All participants were invited to complete anonymous survey pre- post-event, at six-month post-event. The created based a comprehensive list attitudes intervention compiled from existing literature. Sixty-seven completed...
The aim of this study was to examine the associations elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) with change in muscle strength patients established knee osteoarthritis (OA), at 2 years.Data from 186 OA were gathered baseline 2-year follow-up. CRP (in milligrams per liter) ESR millimeters hour) measured patients' blood. Strength quadriceps hamstrings muscles assessed by using an isokinetic dynamometer. association inflammatory markers analyzed uni-...
Objective: To examine the association between changes in knee muscle strength (extensor and flexor muscles separately, mean values) activity limitations patients with established osteoarthritis at 2 years.Methods: Data from 186 osteoarthritis, part of Amsterdam Osteoarthritis cohort, were gathered baseline 2-year follow-up.Strength extensor assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer.Activity Western Ontario McMaster University Index (WOMAC) -Physical Function subscale, Get Up Go test (GUG),...
Although the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in secondary prevention is well-recognized, there a lack studies exploring potential mobile health to enhance educational interventions within CR. The objective assess impact structured WhatsApp-assisted intervention, conjunction with usual care, compared care alone among participants enrolled CR program. trial will recruit 32 program, who be randomly assigned intervention plus or group. span 4 weeks, assessments at baseline,...
