Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the Ipswich touch test compared to the 10-g monofilament test for identifying of loss of protective sensation in Thai patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on Thai patients with diabetes mellitus who attended routine annual foot check-ups in an outpatient diabetes clinic. The loss of protective sensation was assessed by the Ipswich touch test and compared with the Semmes-Weinstein 10-g monofilament test.
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the prolonged duration of diabetic foot ulcers was associated with an increased incidence of diabetic foot osteomyelitis.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study METHODS: The medical records of all patients who participated in the diabetic foot clinic between January 2015 and December 2020 were reviewed. Patients with new diabetic foot ulcers were monitored for diabetic foot osteomyelitis.
Objective: To determine the effect of a removable rigid dressing (RRD) on the time to residual limb maturation compared with elastic bandage (EB) in transtibial amputees.
Design: Experimental single-blinded (assessor-blinded) randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness ofradial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rSWET) and ultrasound therapy (US) in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Objective: To study the effects of moderate-intensity treadmill walking exercise on the biochemical bone markers in the menstruating and menopausal women.
Study Design: Experimental study.
Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Background: Fall rates are high among older people even in the healthy population. An aging foot may affect ambulatory function and increase the risk of fall(s).
Objective: To study foot musculoskeletal disorders, falls and associated factors in healthy elderly subjects.
Background: Problems from improper shoe fitting are common, but there are limited foot data for the older Thai population.
Objectives: To study foot dimensions and determine proper shoe sizes for Thai elderly.
Methods: Healthy older people: 108 men, 105 women, aged 60-80 years, who were independent in walking, were recruited.
Objective: Compare the reducing volumes of the residual limbs between the removable rigid dressing method and the elastic bandaging technique.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Objective: To study common foot problems presented in diabetic foot clinic.
Material And Method: A retrospectively review of out patient department records and diabetic foot evaluation forms of patients who visited the diabetic foot clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between 2004 and 2006.
Results: Of all diabetic patients, 70 men and 80 women with the average age of 63.
Objective: To study the effects of imagery-weight exercise on muscle strength.
Material And Method: Preliminary study of a before and after designed experiment was conducted at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, from June to September 2004. Fifteen healthy sedentary volunteers: 5 males, 10 females, mean age 28.
Objectives: To determine the reliability of foot caliper
Design: Descriptive study.
Setting: Rehabilitation Medicine Outpatient Department, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Subject: Fifteen volunteers were recruited from Rehabilitation residents and health care professionals of Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Objectives: To determine the effect of shoe lift, cueing and cueing with shoe lift on weight bearing in paretic leg of stroke hemiparetic patients and compare the effect between each condition.
Design: Cross-sectional experimental study.
Setting: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and Department of Ear Nose and Throat, Faculty of Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Chulalongkorn University.
