Objective The incidence of hip fractures is increasing worldwide with the aging population, causing a challenge to healthcare systems due associated morbidities and high risk mortality. After in frail geriatric patients, existing comorbidities worsen new complications are prone occur. Comprehensive rehabilitation essential for promoting physical function recovery minimizing complications, which can be achieved through multidisciplinary approach. Recommendations required assist providers...
Previous studies have demonstrated that low skeletal muscle mass is related to decreased lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, there little information about the relationship between and asymptomatic adults without clinically apparent disease.This was a cross-sectional study of 240,562 Korean known All subjects underwent both test (PFT) bioelectrical impedance analysis health checkup program at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. Skeletal index (SMI) estimated...
Abstract In contrast to obesity, studies on the relationship between underweight and pulmonary function are still sparse. Thus, objective of this study was investigate effect being in a general population without apparent lung disease. A total 282,135 retrospective cohort subjects January 2012 December 2014 Korea were included. Using multivariate-adjusted analysis, body mass index (BMI) assessed. Underweight individuals represented 5.5% (n = 282,135), with most (87.9%) them females. Compare...
Ultrasound is an essential tool for diagnosing shoulder disorders. However, the role of ultrasound in assessing and adhesive capsulitis has not been fully studied.To evaluate features estimate correlations between clinical impairment parameters.Case series; Level evidence, 4.A total 61 patients with clinically diagnosed unilateral were retrospectively reviewed using high-resolution ultrasound. To compare parameters, we performed examinations on both affected unaffected shoulders. including...
Abstract Background As the primary treatment for adhesive capsulitis, intensive and accurate home exercise is as important physical therapy in hospitals. Augmented reality (AR)-based telerehabilitation has been implemented recently various musculoskeletal conditions to increase patient compliance enable patients with correct posture. The objective of this study present a protocol investigating additive effect interactive AR-based comparison usual care capsulitis. Methods This presents...
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary embolism (PE) remain significant causes of morbidity, mortality in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Since incidence DVT after SCI Korean population has not been much studied, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records 185 admitted for acute rehabilitation unit to investigate DVT. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed screen occurrence at time initial presentation unit. Primary study outcome Possible risk factors including...
Objectives To evaluate the association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and sarcopenic obesity, to determine age or sex differences underlying relationship hs-CRP obesity. Design Observational study. Participants The study included 237 838 participants whose body composition were analysed at two health promotion centres in South Korea. divided into four groups based on composition: normal, obesity only, sarcopenia only Primary measures levels of proportion with high (≥1.0...
Background Previous outcome studies for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) have included clinically diagnosed greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). The purpose of this study is to investigate ESWT on GTPS with gluteal tendinopathy documented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Medical records 38 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed, who underwent MRI-documented (> 6 months). was conducted (1/week) when the Roles-Maudsley score (RMS) showed "Poor" or "Fair"...
Background and Objectives: The study aimed to establish the threshold values prevalence of sarcopenia investigate association with metabolic syndrome in an urban Korean population. Materials Methods: included 300,090 adults who underwent anthropometric analyses by bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Sarcopenia was defined as: (1) class I, skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) within −1 −2 standard deviations (SDs); (2) or II, <−2 SD SMI a young Results: Low levels for I II were 39.8 36.7% men, 35.5...
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder of the skin and joints that occurs in patients with advanced renal insufficiency. This condition progressive can be seriously disabling. Gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) has been identified as potential cause this condition. A 56-years-old man hemodialysis developed stiffness contracture whole limbs eight years after frequent GBCA exposure for cervical magnetic resonance imaging. For first time Korea, we report late-onset...
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a common systemic inflammatory disease of the elderly; however, clinical characteristics and therapeutic response PMR in Korea have been rarely studied. We reviewed medical records 54 Korean patients diagnosed with between January 2009 February 2017 locomotive pain clinic one tertiary referral hospital. analyzed epidemiologic characteristics, responses, prognostic factors for remission-failure at one-year after oral prednisolone treatment. In PMR, 32 (59.3%)...
Aerobic moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is recommended for individuals with chronic diseases. However, the association between resistance training (RT) in addition to moderate vigorous and sleep duration, as well respiratory symptoms, patients obstructive pulmonary disease has not been thoroughly investigated. This population-based cross-sectional study used data from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2014 2019. A total of 61,754 were identified men airflow...
Abstract The harmful effects of excessive mechanical loading on diabetic neuropathy and the reason neuropathic symptoms are common in feet unclear. In this study, hind paw suspension treadmill exercise model was used rats to investigate whether applied front paws precipitates pain, especially conditions. Thirty-two were divided into six groups according presence diabetes (DM) intensity paws: DM-Hi (high-intensity); DM-Lo (low-intensity); DM-No (non-mechanical loading); Sham-Hi; Sham-Lo;...
This is a rare case of sciatic neuropathy in 46‐year‐old man secondary to an intraneural ganglion cyst from the hip joint extending upward lumbar plexus and L5 nerve root. Magnetic resonance neurography showed that fluid passed through labral tear extended rostrally along articular branch peroneal portion near The condition was treated by arthroscopic disruption connection with resolution partial neurological recovery.
Recently, ultrasound measurements of the shoulder such as thickening rotator interval (RI) and axillary recess (AR) are suggested specific indicators adhesive capsulitis. Herein, we evaluated sequential changes in parameters clinical impairments correlation between two case capsulitis through a prospective observational study 56 patients with Clinical assessments parameters, including thicknesses RI AR, were surveyed at baseline after 1, 3, 6 months. In capsulitis, thickness AR significantly...
Abstract Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is the greatest challenge after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). The aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness percutaneous cement injection (PCI) for PJF PLIF patients requiring surgical revision. In retrospective clinical study, we reviewed 7 revision with 18 months follow-up. They received PCI at collapsed vertebral body and supra-adjacent vertebra, or without intervertebral disc intervention. outcome measures were radiographic...
