Effects of Action Observation Therapy in Patients Recovering From Total Hip Arthroplasty Arthroplasty: A Prospective Clinical Trial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of action observation therapy (AOT) compared with written information in patients submitted to a physical therapy program after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods: We conducted a prospective clinical trial. Twenty-four patients with THA, 62.

Effects of action observation treatment in recovery after total knee replacement: a prospective clinical trial.

Design: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Thirty-one inpatients, admitted to our Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Department.

Association between malnutrition and Barthel Index in a cohort of hospitalized older adults article information.

[Purpose] In this study, we sought to evaluate the relationship between the Barthel Index and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form in a cohort of elderly patients hospitalized in the General Rehabilitation Center. [Subjects and Methods] Three hundred and forty-four patients underwent an extensive evaluation, which included the following tests: 1) a Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form to evaluate nutritional status; and 2) a Barthel Index assessment to evaluate functional status. We categorized patients into three age groups (65-74 yrs, 75-84 yrs, and >85 yrs).

Moving forward in fall prevention: an intervention to improve balance among patients in a quasi-experimental study of hospitalized patients.

We investigated the effectiveness of three different rehabilitative programs: group exercise, individual core stability or balance training intervention with a stabilometric platform to improve balance ability in elderly hospitalized patients. We used a prospective quasi-experimental study design. Twenty-eight patients, 39.

The diagnostic accuracy of five tests for diagnosing partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon: A cohort study.

Study Design: A cohort study.

Introduction: The causes of the pain can be difficult for clinicians to diagnose due to the complexity of the shoulder anatomy and the wide spectrum of shoulder conditions.

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of provocative diagnostic tests, in patients with partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus (SST) tendon.

Botulinum toxin treatment for slipping rib syndrome: a case report.

Background: Slipping rib syndrome (SRS) is a musculoskeletal cause of severe and recurrent thoracic or abdominal pain. The etiology of SRS is unknown, it seems to arise from costal hypermobility with a tendency of one of the ribs (usually from 8th to 10th but also 11th and 12th have been described) to slip under the superior adjacent rib. Its prevalence is underestimated because SRS is mainly a clinical diagnosis, frequently missed.
