Clinical trials

Mastectomy after breast cancer is usually accompanied by shoulder dysfunction which interferes with the daily life activities of the patients and causes physical and psychological impairments. This study aims to assess the impact of strength and stabilization exercise on scapular muscles activation pattern after mastectomy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a Functional Stabilization training program (FST) and a comprehensive corrective exercise program in PF pain and DKV.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee condition causing pain and dysfunction. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two physical therapy treatments for PFPS: Mulligan mobilization with movement technique versus phonophoresis with chitosan gel. Forty-five participants with patellofemoral pain syndrome will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) Mulligan technique group, (2) Phonophoresis with chitosan gel group, or (3) Control group receiving standard physical therapy exercises. Each group will receive treatment 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The researchers want to determine which treatment is more effective in improving neuromuscular control, reducing pain, and improving function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Participants will be assessed before and after the treatment period. This study may help physical therapists and healthcare providers choose the most effective treatment approach for patients with patellofemoral pain.

The study aims to explore the effect of body position (side-lying versus standing) on hip abductors muscle strength and activation in individuals with and without PFPS and then to compare these measures between the two groups in each position

This cross-sectional study investigates whether a simple Grip-Asymmetry Index (GAI) can predict self-reported wrist pain in professional e-sports athletes. Professional gamers (aged 18-30) who play at least 35 hours per week will be assessed using a Jamar dynamometer to measure maximal grip force in both hands. The study will compare GAI between two groups: those with wrist pain (≥3/10 on Visual Analog Scale during play) and those without pain. A GAI cutoff value for predicting wrist pain risk will be established through ROC analysis, with additional factors such as gaming hours, BMI, and sex incorporated into a multivariable logistic regression model.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most typical causes of anterior knee pain in adolescents and young adults under the age of 50.It is believed that imbalanced action between quadriceps components, is the most contributing cause of PFPS.Investigating exercises that increase VMO muscle activation and enhance the ratio between VMO and VL have been a standardized target in literature.

Research evaluating the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) \& walking exercise on fatigue severity, liver enzymes and sleeping quality in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease who also have obstructive sleep apnea. Forty patients are divided into two groups: twenty patients CPAP and other twenty patients for CPAP and walking program .

Objective: To find the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users. Design: cross sectional study. Setting: Ahram Candian University Subjects:100 male and female university students with age ranged from 20 to 30 years old will participate in this study. Intervention: cross sectional study to detect the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users. Main measures: * FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application * Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand) (Lupton-Smith et al.,2022) * Mechanical height and weight scale * Visual Analogue Scale * Arabic Neck Disability Index Results: The results will be obtained via one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA).

respiratory complications are very prevalent in children with beta thalasemia major (BTM), so choosing inspiratory muscle trianing to decrease of prevent it and to improve pulmoanry funntions is important

Metabolic Syndrome is common in Children and complementary therapies are important in its treatment such exercise and functional food intake including honey.

PURPOSE: This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is pain arising from SIJ structures and SIJ dysfunction (SIJD) generally refers to aberrant position or movement of SIJ structures . An estimated 15-30% of all low back pain cases are due to SIJ pain The present study will be conducted to add a new information to the body of knowledge of physical therapy profession as it will investigate the effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction HYPOTHESES: . •There will be no effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction RESEARCH QUESTION: * Do BMI has an effect on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction?
