The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the active range of motion (ROM) of the affected upper extremity and functional capacity in children with Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy (OBPP) who have undergone the modified Hoffer tendon transfer technique. The study cohort comprised 52 children with OBPP, aged 4-14 years, who had undergone a shoulder tendon transfer. The ROM was quantified using a goniometer, while functionality was evaluated through the administration of the Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM).

Aging is a well-known risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a common condition in AD. Our study aims to compare OD in AD patients and older adults with presbyphagia (OAwP).

Methods: The cross-sectional study included 1345 patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on children with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) to assess the relationship between muscle strength, range of motion (ROM), and functionality post shoulder tendon transfer surgery.
- A total of 25 children (ages 4-7) were evaluated, revealing that muscle strength in the affected upper extremities was better than the unaffected side, but there was no correlation between muscle strength, ROM, and functionality.
- The research suggests incorporating distal joint strengthening and functional exercises in rehabilitation programs to improve daily life activities for these children after surgery.*
Complications of head and neck cancers and their treatment can lead to dysphagia. Two fifty-seven-year-old male cases, one with laryngeal cancer and one with tongue cancer, were included in the study. After 16 weeks of swallowing rehabilitation, positive changes were observed in the physical parameters, quality of life, and nutritional status of the patients.
