Objectives. Sensorimotor deficits such as impaired joint proprioception and muscle weakness have been found in association with hypermobility syndrome (HMS) adults. HMS is more common children than adults, yet not adequately investigated paediatric populations. It therefore uncertain to what sensorimotor are present HMS. This study knee torque healthy those Methods. Thirty-seven (mean age ± s.d. = 11.5 2.6 yrs) 29 11.9 1.8 participated this study. Knee kinaesthesia (JK) position sense (JPS)...
Modifications in the design of knee replacements have been proposed order to maximise flexion. We performed a prospective double-blind randomised controlled trial compare functional outcome, including maximum flexion, patients receiving either standard or high flexion version NexGen legacy posterior stabilised total replacement. A 56 patients, half whom received each design, were assessed pre-operatively and at one year after operation using scores analysis range movement electrogoniometry....
This study retrospectively analysed the effects of obesity as described by Body Mass Index (BMI) on patient reported outcomes following total knee replacement. Participants (105 females and 66 males) who had undergone surgery under care a single surgeon were included in review grouped according to their preoperative BMI into nonobese ( kg/m 2 ), () obese ) (). Oxford Knee Score (OKS) Short Form 12 scores (SF12) taken preoperatively 6 months after analyse differences between groups absolute...
Regular physical activity (PA) helps to reduce the severity of and mental symptoms improves quality life in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Based on current evidence expert opinion, recent guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes/week PA. This study presents results a survey analyzing whether how PwMS met before during pandemic.We developed disseminated an international online between December 2020 July 2021, investigating changes self-reported PA type, duration, frequency, intensity...
Purpose: This mixed methods study aimed to explore the feasibility, efficacy and participants' experiences of a Pilates programme for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) who use wheelchair. Method: Fifteen pwMS took part in 12-week programme. At baseline after 6 12 weeks programme, sitting stability, measured as maximum progression Centre Pressure when leaning sideways (COPmax), posture, pain on Visual Analogue Scale, function, fatigue impact MS (MSIS29) were assessed. Ten participants two...
Kinematic and kinetic data were obtained from 36 normal children who walked at five different clinically relevant speeds, which mostly slower than speed. Speed groups normalized for body height. significantly affected most of the stride parameters, joint angles, moments, ground reaction force in all three planes motion. The effects speed not always same over whole range speeds studied. clinical relevance these findings is that when comparing pathologic gait characteristics with those...
Reliability, validity and sensibility to variations over time were investigated for a German version of the Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAS) Re-test reliability was high with r = .98.
In Brief Purpose: To assess the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) ankle dorsiflexors and quadriceps in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Fourteen (mean age 8 years) were randomly allocated to a treatment or control group. The group received 2 weeks neuromuscular followed by FES used at home school. continued its usual physiotherapy program. Assessment took place baseline before after period. Both groups fitted for gait analysis second final assessments. Results: both...
Purpose: We investigated the combined impact of trunk control and lower extremities impairments on predicting gait capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) evaluated relationships between impairments.Methods: Data 52 CP [29 boys, mean age 11 years 9 months (±4 6 months)] were included this observational study. Gait was measured by "modified Time Up Go test". Experienced therapists performed "Modified Ashworth Scale", "Manual Muscle Test", "Selective Control Assessment Lower Extremity",...
Aim Assessing impaired selective voluntary movement control in children with cerebral palsy ( CP ) has gained increasing interest. We investigated construct validity and intra‐ interrater reliability of the Selective Control Assessment Lower Extremity SCALE ). Method Thirty‐nine (21 males, 18 females) spastic , mean age 12 years 6 months [range 6y 11mo–19y 9mo], Gross Motor Function Classification System GMFCS levels I to IV participated. Differences scores were determined on joint between...
