Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent and widely studied peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome, with estimates between 10-20% of the general population having clinical symptoms of CTS at least once in their lifetime. Classically, it presents with symptoms of nocturnal
Step 1: The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Observation of Virtual Actions on gait recovery in patients hospitalized in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (MPR) and presenting ICU-weakness, in particular following a COVID-19 infection. If the patient is included in the Virtual
Infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality individuals with mitochondrial disease, frequently triggering metabolic decompensation, multiorgan dysfunction, and neurologic deterioration. In the context of the recent COVID19 pandemic, people with mitochondrial disease are at increased risk
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following three distinct home-based IMT protocols: (1) TIRE, (2) Standard, and (3) Sham (i.e. Low Resistance). All subjects will undergo 8 weeks of daily unsupervised IMT using either a PrO2® device (Design Net, Smithfield, USA) or
According to global cancer statistics, the most commonly diagnosing and the highest mortality rates belong to lung cancer. As known, patients with lung cancer suffer from many pathophysiological changes due to characteristics of the lung cancer and its cytotoxic treatments including chemotherapy and
Background:
Approximately 100,000 anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) are performed yearly, and rates of these surgeries in patients younger than 15 years increased by 924% between 1990 and 2007.1 Persistent strength deficits in quadriceps musculature following ACLR are common, even
SARS-Cov-2, a virus causing a new infectious disease called COVID-19, has been subject to numerous publications since its emergence. Almost 20% of people infected with SARS-Cov-2 develop severe to critical symptoms and required hospitalization, often in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Respiratory failure
The investigators have found a total of 46 participants with low creatinine levels and compared their outcome data with a group of participants with normal or high creatinine levels (control group, N=61). Low creatinine was defined as values of ≤40 μmol/L. Demographic data, type of admission
Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using
Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is a safe type of low intensity resistance exercise that has demonstrated enhanced muscle growth, muscle strength, oxygen delivery and utilization (VO2Max). With BFRT, lighter loads can be used to build muscle while sparing the joints from heavy loading and
It's estimated that almost 3.5 million Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA) will be performed annually by 2030. Despite initiating rehabilitation within 48 hours of surgery, up to a 60% strength loss is noted in the quadriceps one month after TKA. This weakness persists for years after surgery and is
1. SUMMARY Radiculopathy and/or myelopathy due to cervical degenerative disc disease are increasingly common pathologies in our ageing population. Both can be treated non-surgically or surgically. The most commonly used neurosurgical treatment is anterior cervical discectomy with or without fusion.
Osteoarthritis is a very common chronic joint disease resulting in functional disability. Knee OA is considered to be most common form of arthritis in western countries. Knee OA is mainly characterized by presence of pain, radiographic evidence of reduced joint space, wear and tear of articular
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, which is a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscles of the body. The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body due to the degeneration of the
