Background/objectives: Bronchiolitis is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections that lead to hospitalizations in infants and young children.
Methods: In this randomized controlled pilot study, we compared two separate nasal suction devices, namely the over counter device by the brand name of NoseFrida and the standard hospital device NeoSucker, in hospitalized children with bronchiolitis to assess equivalence of length of stay within a ± 5-h equivalence margin and to compare readmission rates and associated complications. Additionally, parental satisfaction for the NoseFrida device was measured with a six question (5-point Likert scale) survey.
Background: Evidence of neuroplasticity after joint injury has suggested that individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) may have degraded movement when facing cognitive demand. To date, research into these effects have been limited to static balance models, and typically only incorporate a single type of cognitive demands.
Research Question: We aimed to determine the effects of multiple modalities of cognitive load (quantitative, verbal-memory, visuospatial) on dynamic postural control strategies in a sample of patients with CAI compared to uninjured controls.
