Abstract Introduction Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a significant problem. There currently widespread variability in the methods used for manual muscle testing and handgrip dynamometry (HGD) to diagnose ICU-AW. This study was conducted two parts. The aims of this were: determine inter-rater reliability agreement strength using both isometric through-range techniques Medical Research Council sum score new four-point scale, examine validity HGD cutoff diagnosis ICU-AW...
Uncertainty exists over whether multiple arterial grafting has a sex-related association with survival after coronary artery bypass grafting. This study aims to compare the long-term of using vs. single in women and men undergoing
Intensive care-acquired weakness is a common problem, leads to significant impairment in physical functioning and muscle strength, prevalent individuals with sepsis. Early rehabilitation has been shown be safe feasible; however, commencement often delayed due patient's inability co-operate. An intervention that begins early an intensive care unit (ICU) admission without the need for patient volition may beneficial attenuating wasting. The eRiCC (early critical care) trial will investigate...
In people who have undergone cardiac surgery via median sternotomy, does modifying usual sternal precautions to make them less restrictive improve physical function, pain, kinesiophobia and health-related quality of life?Two-centre, randomised, controlled trial with concealed allocation, blinded assessors intention-to-treat analysis.Seventy-two adults had a sternotomy were included.Participants randomly allocated one two groups at 4 (SD 1) days after surgery. The control group received the...
OBJECTIVE: To determine if adding lumbar neuromuscular control retraining exercises to a 12-week program of strengthening had greater effect for improving disability than 12 weeks alone in people with chronic low back pain (LBP). DESIGN: Single-center, participant- and assessor-blinded, comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial. METHODS: Sixty-nine participants (31 females; 29 males; mean age: 46.5 years) nonspecific LBP were recruited involving extension addition resistance...
Background and Purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the perceptions sources stress among physiotherapy (PT) students from 3 education programs across countries year in program. Subjects. All enrolled PT Ariel University Center Samaria, Israel (154); Melbourne, Australia (295); Lund University, Sweden (177) were invited participate study. Methods. A cross-sectional survey administered. Data collected using a questionnaire, which comprised Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Undergraduate...
Lung ultrasonography is superior to clinical examination and chest X-ray (CXR) in diagnosis of acute respiratory pathology the emergency critical care setting after cardiothoracic surgery intensive care. ultrasound may be useful before discharge from care, but proportion significant this unknown too low justify its routine use. The aim study was determine clinically detectable with CXR, examination, lung patients on ward surgery.In prospective observational study, undergoing elective who...
The objective of this study was to compare the effects 12 weeks resistance training combined with either 5:2 intermittent fasting or continuous energy restriction on body composition, muscle size and quality, upper lower strength.Untrained individuals undertook plus [20% daily (CERT)] [~ 70% 2 days/week, euenergetic consumption 5 days/week (IFT)], both groups prescribed a mean ≥ 1.4 g protein per kilogram weight day. Participants completed supervised 1 unsupervised aerobic/resistance...
Physiotherapists routinely prescribe upper limb exercises for patients who have undergone a median sternotomy during cardiac surgery. It is not currently known whether should be unilateral or bilateral and conducted with without additional loading to minimise pain further sternal separation in instability. Eight had chronic instability after surgery were included this study. During selected regimen of exercises, the amount at different vertical points on sternum was measured by ultrasound....
Following cardiac surgery via median sternotomy, patients are routinely advised to adhere upper limb restrictions prevent the development of sternal complications. However, there is no definitive evidence support clinical application such restrictions. The purpose this study was investigate current physiotherapy practice regarding exercise guidelines for population, within outpatient rehabilitation in Australia.Physiotherapists working programs Australia were invited complete a Web...
