Rehabilitation Outcome

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether combining moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise with constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) can improve walking ability in adults who have had a stroke. The study will also learn if telerehabilitation at home can support long-term recovery after intensive rehabilitation. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise before CI therapy improve walking ability, balance and lower extremity function in people with long-lasting gait difficulties after stroke? * Does CI therapy alone lead to similar or different improvements in walking ability, balance or lower extremity function? * Does telerehabilitation help participants maintain or further improve their function after the intensive rehabilitation period? Researchers will compare two groups. One group will receive 4 weeks of CI therapy, 5 days per week, plus 20 minutes of moderate-to-high-intensity aerobic exercise before the rehabilitation session on 3 of these days, and the other group will receive 4 weeks of CI therapy, 5 days per week, without preparatory aerobic exercise. After the completion of CI therapy, all participants will be offered an individualized 8-week telerehabilitation program to follow at home. They will use a mobile application to report physical activity and follow instructions for telerehabilitation. All participants will complete two assessment visits (about 3 hours each), 1-2 weeks before and 1-2 weeks after CI therapy. They will also complete questionnaires electronically after the telerehabilitation program. Daily activity will be measured twice during the study: once during a week after the intensive rehabilitation and once during a week after the telerehabilitation program. A small movement sensor worn on the thigh will be used. The sensor is attached with a soft strap or an adhesive patch and is comfortable to wear all day. The sensor shows how much a person walks, stands, or sits in everyday life. It is light, does not disturb normal activities, and only collects movement information for the study. An instruction sheet will be included to make it easy to use.

The study is a Random control trail study conducted at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focusing on Application of 5 framework in rehabilitation program of knee arthritis. The study will involve a in each group sample of 20 KOA patients, with a 12-month duration. The sample size was estimated using G\*Power 3.1 software, and the initial power analysis indicated that 40 participants would be required to achieve 80.0% statistical power. The study's participants will be aged between 55 and 80 years, diagnosed with Knee osteoarthritis, without cognitive impairment, knee surgery in the past 6 months, or unstable comorbidities. The study will involve in-person 16 sessions, with the first two lasting approximately one hour and the remaining session 30-45 minutes. The main outcome measures that will be used in this study are Stay Independent Brochure, Iconographical Falls Efficacy Scale (icon-FES), Timed Up and Go, 2-Minute Walk Test, 5 Time Set to Stand Test AND Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale 8 Item (ASES-8), Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), and Patient satisfaction level with Physical Therapy service MedRisk. Data will be taken from direct questions to patients, by filling out the questionnaire via Google Form, and through some tests and SPSS will be used for data analysis, with ANOVA Test intervention scores of the outcome measures.

The goal of this observational study is to determine if rehabilitation program intensity impacts functional recovery and specific needs in adult ischemic stroke patients who require inpatient rehabilitation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do patients with stroke of Atrial-related subtypes (AFRS) have distinct rehabilitation needs and functional outcomes compared to non-AFRS patients? Does higher-intensity inpatient rehabilitation (3-5 sessions/day) result in better functional recovery at six months (measured by the Barthel Index) than moderate-intensity programs (1 session/day)? The study is non-invasive, does not interfere with usual care. The investigators' ultimate goal is to enhance the understanding of recovery after following different rehabilitation usual programs.

The study evaluates the effect and safety of Cerebrolysin administered during early rehabilitation in patients with moderate neurological impairment after acute ischemic stroke, conducted at the Department of Vascular Neurology and Intensive Neurological Therapy, UMC Ljubljana.

In France, a considerable number of radical prostactectomy for cancer is carried out every year.This number was estimated at 20.000 in 2016.This surgery may have negative impact on the continence's subjects and their quality of life. The rehabilitation, preoperative or postoperative, practiced by a physiotherapist, can reduced those side effects. The rehabilitation techniques are many and their efficacy may differ. No study where found about the clasification and evaluation of those rehabilitation techniques.

Hand injuries and diseases are common reasons for hospital visits and lead to both functional and workforce losses, making them a persistent problem in treatment and rehabilitation approaches. Among the various functions of the hand, the thumb is of particular importance due to its large representation in the brain and its contribution to all gripping and holding functions. Loss of function in the thumb leads to a loss of at least 40% of hand skills. Therefore, restoring the thumb's original functionality is this study primary goal in rehabilitation. To achieve this goal, intensive rehabilitation is required, which cannot be fully accomplished through clinic sessions alone, as home exercises contribute significantly to this process. The low adherence of patients to home exercises has led researchers to explore various alternatives. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mobile application games on rehabilitation outcomes in patients who have lost thumb function. For the pre- and post-treatment evaluations of the patients, the following assessment tools will be used: the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, the eight-shaped tape measure for edema, the Quick-DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) scale for upper extremity functionality, a finger goniometer for joint range of motion, the DuruÖz Hand Index for measuring activities of daily living, and a home exercise adherence tracking form to evaluate adherence to home exercises. As determined by this study power analysis, 38 patients with thumb injuries will be included in the study. These patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: the routine treatment group (19 patients) and the routine treatment plus mobile game group (19 patients). The routine treatment group will receive standard treatment at the Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Hand Clinic, including classical massage, stretching, functional exercises, electrical modalities, thermal agents, and home exercises. In the routine treatment plus mobile game group, in addition to the standard treatment, patients will engage in 20-30 minutes of mobile application games (e.g., Temple Run, Flappy Bird, Angry Birds) as part of their home exercise program. Researchers hypothesize that the group receiving mobile games in addition to the standard treatment will experience a better rehabilitation process in terms of thumb functionality, pain, and edema compared to the routine treatment group, and they will reach rehabilitation goals more quickly. Additionally, mobile games will increase motivation for home exercises and improve adherence. This study will be the first to examine the use of mobile games in thumb rehabilitation and their effect on adherence to home exercises. Researchers anticipate that the results of this study will inspire both clinicians and future research, reaching a wider audience through presentations and publications.
