Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hospital-based and home-based exercise programs on quality of life (QOL) and neck and shoulder function of patients who underwent head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery.
Methods: This clinical trial included 40 patients with neck and shoulder dysfunction after HNC. The exercise program included range of motion (ROM) exercises, massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a complex rehabilitation (CR) program and complex decongestive therapy (CDT) on lymphedema, physical function, and quality of life in 40 patients post-gynecologic cancer surgery.
- - Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving only CDT and the other receiving a combination of CDT and CR, with assessments conducted before and after four weeks of treatment.
- - Results showed that both groups experienced improvements in edema, fatigue, and pain, but the CRCDT group had better gains in physical function and muscle strength, indicating that CR benefits patients without worsening edema.
Objective: To investigate the changes in gait patterns and Berg Balance Scale in hemiplegic patients with anterior or posterior ankle foot orthosis.
Design: The subjects comprised 17 hemiplegic patients who could walk independently with a cane. Gait analysis and Berg Balance Scale scores were assessed barefoot and while wearing anterior or posterior ankle foot orthosis, with a motion analysis system used to collect kinematic data.
Background And Aims: To investigate the gait, sit-to-stand and upper extremity performance in the elderly compared with young adults.
Methods: Individuals over 60 and under 35 years old, with no medical, neurological or orthopedic problems participated in this study. Three-dimensional motion analyses of gait, sit-to-stand and upper extremity performance were performed, and results in the two age groups were compared.
