Objective To investigate the effects of customized web video-based vestibular rehabilitation in patients with chronic hypofunction. Study Design This study is a randomized controlled trial. Setting The dizziness specialty clinic. Patients participants were diagnosed Interventions used trial design, which randomly assigned to either or booklet-based 1:1 ratio. Main Outcome Measures assessed at three time points: before-intervention (baseline), post-intervention completion (6 wk), and...
This study examined the impact of inpatient rehabilitation in acute care hospitals on hospital readmission patients undergoing lower limb amputation (LLA) due to diabetes mellitus (DM) using propensity score analysis. retrospective cohort utilized JMDC database. Patients who underwent transtibial and transfemoral with DM as reason for admission or comorbidity were included. divided into group (started within 14 days admission) non-rehabilitation (did not receive admission). The primary...
Balance is controlled by visual, somatosensory, and vestibular sensory inputs. Older adults rely on visual information for balance control, those with a history of falls have been reported to exhibit higher dependence. Additionally, high dependence may affect velocity-related parameters, such as gait speed. However, whether related specific measures postural control in older remains unclear. This study aimed investigate the relationship between adults. was single-center, cross-sectional,...
To identify the direct and indirect effects of nutritional status, physical function, cognitive function on activities daily living in Japanese older adults requiring long-term care.In total, 179 participants aged ≥ 65 years who were eligible for care insurance (mean age 85.5 ± 7.8 years) recruited this study. Nutritional status (Mini Assessment, Short Form) (Short Physical Performance Battery) examined. Activities living, frailty assessed using Barthel Index, Mini-Mental State Examination...
Background Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a relatively new disease entity, with diagnostic criteria published by the Bárány Society. PPPD often preceded peripheral or central vestibular disorder. It not clear how coexisting deficits due to preceding disorders affect symptoms. Objective This study aimed characterize clinical features of without isolated otolith dysfunction using function tests. Methods The included 43 patients (12 males and 31 females) who were diagnosed...
This study investigated the effects of a supervised home-based vestibular rehabilitation program using booklet on gait function and dizziness in patients with chronic peripheral hypofunction.This was non-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Patients (n=42) hypofunction were randomly divided into group (VR group; n=20) or control (n=22). VR received addition to physician care for 4 weeks. The physical therapist checked home when visited outpatient clinic once week. only during trial period....
Few studies have focused on the effect of resistance training under conditions malnutrition in older adults requiring long-term care. The purpose this study was to investigate influence nutritional status training-induced changes physical performance.A total 91 community-dwelling participated 24 weeks training. Participants used 60% one repetition maximum for three sets 10 repetitions Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Mini Nutritional Assessment Form (MNA-SF), Barthel Index, and...
