Online Graded Motor Imagery Is Effective in Women Diagnosed with Pelvic Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Effective therapeutic strategies are crucial for managing Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder (GPPPD), a condition presenting challenges for both patients and health care providers. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an online Graded Motor Imagery program in alleviating pain intensity and improving sexual function in women diagnosed with GPPPD.

Methods: Eighty-seven women were randomly assigned to either an online Graded Motor Imagery group or a control group.

Test-Retest Reliability, Validity, and Minimal Detectable Change of the Measurement of Lower Limb Muscular Strength with Handheld Dynamometry in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is an exponentially growing medical and economic worldwide problem. There are specific elements used to assess patient's functional capacity loss and overall deterioration in order to determine the patient's clinical status, and muscle impairment is one of the most common. It is therefore necessary to develop reliable and applicable methods to determine muscle impairment in patients with chronic kidney disease.
