Article Synopsis
- The study examined patients with tracheal or laryngotracheal stenosis who required tracheostomy, focusing on their swallowing and clinical profiles before undergoing airway interventions.
- It involved a retrospective cohort study where patients underwent swallowing evaluations and imaging, with follow-ups at 6 and 12 months to assess progress.
- Results showed female predominance, high rates of subglottic stenosis, and that many had significant swallowing difficulties, indicating a need for personalized care due to potential complications affecting recovery.
Objective: To investigate the clinical and swallowing indicators related to a successful decannulation process during the hospital stay.
Methods: A retrospective cohort clinical study. The study sample comprised a heterogeneous patient population who had submitted to a tracheostomy procedure in a tertiary hospital.
Our purpose was to evaluate the effects of a patellofemoral brace on pain response, knee extensor torque production, and gait function in females with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Sixteen females between the ages of 14 and 46 with diagnosis of PFP participated. Knee extensor torque was measured by using a LIDO isokinetic dynamometer.
