[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) D2 flexion and breathing exercises in a patient with
lymphedema (LE). [Subject] This report describes a 57-year-old woman with LE in whom a
short-stretch compression bandage (SSCB) could not be used for treatment because of skin
itching and redness. [Methods] The patient received complex decongestive therapy without a
SSCB. Next, PNF D2 flexion and breathing exercises were conducted three times per week for
14 weeks (36 times). [Results] As a result, the circumference of the armpit was reduced by
0.5 cm; that of 10 cm above the elbow, by 1 cm; that of the elbow, by 0.5 cm; that of
10 cm below the elbow, by 1 cm; and that of the back of the hand, by 0.5 cm. A total of
100 mL (9.4%) of body water was eliminated from the right upper extremity, and moisture
ratio was reduced by 0.005%. Finally, range of motion was improved to 20° flexion, 60°
abduction, 40° external rotation, and 10° internal rotation. [Conclusion] This study
showed that PNF D2 flexion and breathing exercises were effective in reducing LE and
improving range of motion. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of
intraoral application of low-level laser therapy (660 nm) to control pain, swelling and
interincisal opening following the extraction of mandibular third molars. [Subjects and
Methods] Ten patients underwent removal of lower third molars using the same surgical
protocol and pharmacological approach. In the postoperative period, all patients received
four consecutive daily sessions of low-level laser therapy, beginning 24 hours after the
surgery. Intraoral applications using the diode laser with 660 nm wavelength in the
continuous scan mode were performed covering the entire surgical area, which was divided
into four quadrants, each of 1 cm2 area at a distance of 1 cm. The energy
applied at each point was 5 J/cm2 during 8 seconds. [Results] The swelling and
interincisal opening returned to normal 24 hours after the first low-level laser therapy
application (Friedman test). Moreover, the pain intensity was reduced on the third
postoperative day, according to the Friedman test. [Conclusion] Low-level laser therapy
(660 nm), at the dosimetry used in this study, was effective in reducing postoperative
pain and swelling following oral surgery.Key words: Low-level laser therapy, Rehabilitation, Inflammation 相似文献

[Purpose] To clarify rotator cuff muscular activity in the raised position of the closed
kinetic chain (CKC) exercise. [Subjects] Twenty-nine cases were studied, 19 men and 10
women (average age 21.5 ±4.7 years old, average body weight 60.1 kg ±11.4). [Methods] To
determine the effects of the closed kinetic chain exercise on the upper limb, we measured
the surface EMG of the infraspinatus muscle, the trapezius (upper fiber) and the deltoid
(middle fiber) with the arm elevated. [Results] Our results show that at an elevation
angle of 150° in the scapular plane of the upper limb, with 5% body weight load, the EMG
activities of the infraspinatus muscle are approximately 30% of maximum voluntary
contraction (MVC). [Conclusion] The raised position of the CKC exercise is effective in
physical therapy for functional recovery of the infraspinatus muscle.Key words: Shoulder joint, IEMG, CKC 相似文献

[Purpose] Post mastectomy lymphedema is common among breast cancer survivors. It leads to
physical discomfort and functional impairment. Rehabilitation forms the mainstay of
treatment and is multidisciplinary. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty post mastectomy patients
were allocated randomly and assigned to either a conventional treatment group (n=30) or a
complete decongestive therapy (CDT) group (n=30). The conventional treatment group
received manual lymphatic drainage, wore a low elastic compression garment, received
glenohumeral mobilization, and performed deep breathing exercises, and the complete
decongestive therapy group received CDT from a trained physiotherapist and a daily home
program along with the conventional treatment, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. [Results] Arm
circumference measurements were taken at five levels: the wrist, mid forearm, elbow,
mid-upper arm, and axilla. The upper extremity function was evaluated using the
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and pain was assessed
using the visual analogue scale. Measurements were taken at baseline, and at 4th and 6th
weeks after the start of intervention. Within and between group comparisons showed
significant improvements in the CDT group. [Conclusion] Complete decongestive therapy and
a home program assists breast cancer related lymphedema survivors in regaining their lost
functions. It also helps to improve their independence in daily activities, reduce their
need for caregivers, and thereby improving their quality of life. Therefore, the results
of this study showed that the CDT with a home program is an effective treatment for
reducing post mastectomy lymphedema.Key words: Breast cancer, Manual lymphatic drainage, Post mastectomy lymphedema 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of upper limb robot-assisted
therapy in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen stroke
patients with no visual or cognitive problems were enrolled. All subjects received
robot-assisted therapy and comprehensive rehabilitation therapy for 30 minutes each. The
experimental group received a conventional therapy and an additional half hour per weekday
of robot therapy. The patients participated in a total of 20 sessions, each lasting 60
minutes (conventional therapy 30 min, robot-assisted therapy 30 min), which were held 5
days a week for 4 weeks. [Result] The patients showed a significant difference in
smoothness and reach error of the point to point test, circle size and independence of the
circle in the circle test, and hold deviation of the playback static test between before
and after the intervention. On the other hand, no significant difference was observed in
the displacement of the round dynamic test. The patients also showed significant
improvement in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Modified Barthel Index after the
intervention. [Conclusion] These kinematic factors can provide good information when
analyzing the upper limb function of stroke patients in robot-assisted therapy.
Nevertheless, further research on technology-based kinematic information will be
necessary.Key words: Robot-assisted therapy, Stroke, Upper limb 相似文献

[Purpose] We report our experience with a patient with a central spinal cord injury who showed improved finger and upper limb functions after long-term treatment with a combination of rehabilitation and botulinum toxin type A. [Participants and Methods] The patient had spasms and pain that gradually became more profound and was given botulinum toxin type A at 1 year 3 months after sustaining a spinal cord injury. We administered 14 botulinum toxin type A injections periodically for 7 years 4 months after the injury. We administered the injections at an average interval of 5.6 months. Splints that allowed extension and improved finger muscle tone and contracture were made for the patient. [Results] The patient experienced gradual alleviation of the spasms in the proximal upper limb muscles and improved range of motion after receiving five doses of botulinum toxin type A. The spasms and range of motion in the fingers gradually improved around 4 years after the injury through splint therapy and a combination of botulinum toxin type A administration and rehabilitation. [Conclusion] The combination of botulinum toxin type A, splint, and rehabilitation therapies can lead to positive improvements in finger spasticity and range of motion and is recommended for hypertonia cases with severe contractures.Key words: Carry-over effect, Concomitant use of splint, Restoration of hand function 相似文献

[Purpose] To investigate the efficacy of the multi-wave locked system laser therapy on the regeneration of peripheral nerve injuries by evaluating the functional, electrophysiological, and morphological changes of the crushed sciatic nerve in Wistar rats. [Materials and Methods] Sixty male Wistar rats (200–250 g) were randomly assigned to control negative, control positive, or laser groups and subjected to no laser therapy or crushing, to crushing without laser therapy, or crushing followed by multi-wave locked system laser therapy five times/week for four weeks (power=1 W, energy density=10 J/cm2, total energy=100 J), respectively. Functional, electrophysiological, and morphometric analyses were performed before and 7, 15, 21, and 28 days after crushing. The sciatic functional index, compound motor action potential amplitude, motor nerve conduction velocity, and nerve and myelin sheath diameters were measured. [Results] The sciatic functional index value decreased significantly, while the compound motor action potential amplitude, motor nerve conduction velocity, nerve diameter, and myelin sheath diameter increased significantly in the laser group post-treatment compared to the values in the control groups. [Conclusion] Multi-wave locked system laser therapy was effective in accelerating the regeneration of crushed sciatic nerves in Wistar rats. 相似文献

[Purpose] To review the physical therapy educational program model, professional
curriculum, and gender representation at major universities, as well as the quality and
scope of physical therapy practice in Saudi Arabia. [Methods] Information regarding course
curriculum, gender representation, and the quality and scope of physical therapy practice
was collected from six universities in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Physical Therapy
Association, and the Saudi Health Commission. [Results] The first bachelor’s degree course
of physical therapy was started in Saudi Arabia more than 30 years ago. In the last
10 years, the number of universities offering a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy has
risen from 6 to 16, of which 14 are governmental and two are private. The 5- to 6 year
bachelor’s degree program in physiotherapy includes an internship and preparatory
prerequisite courses. Postgraduate study in physical therapy was introduced in 2000. Most
universities offer segregated physical therapy courses for male and female students.
[Conclusion] The enrollment of students in physical therapy programs in Saudi Arabia is
gradually increasing. There are many opportunities to extend the scope of practice and
contribute to the health needs of the Arab population and international communities.Key words: Physical therapy, Education, Curriculum 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This case report describes the physical therapist examination, evaluation, and intervention for a patient with bilateral lower-extremity lymphedema who received complete decongestive physical therapy 2 days per week instead of the recommended daily frequency. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient was a 55-year-old woman who developed bilateral lower-extremity grade II lymphedema 3 years after surgery and radiation for cervical cancer. She had impairments in hip and knee flexion range of motion and functional limitations in transfers, gait, and activities of daily living. Intervention. A twice-weekly intervention program was implemented consisting of education in skin care, manual lymph techniques, compression, and exercise. OUTCOMES: Outcomes related to the lymphedema were measured using the sum of the circumference of each limb. At discharge, the patient had reductions in lymphedema of 9% for the left lower extremity and 10% for the right lower extremity. Her hip flexion range of motion increased from 95 degrees to 110 degrees, and her knee flexion range of motion increased from 95 degrees to 130 degrees. She had resumed all premorbid activities and was independent in self-management. DISCUSSION: Twice-weekly management of lymphedema using a program of skin care, manual lymph techniques, compression, and exercise was followed by reduction of the impairments and functional limitations in a patient with bilateral lower-extremity lymphedema. 相似文献

This study presents an unusual case of primary lymphedema of the upper extremity in a healthy 28-year-old woman. The onset of swelling of the left upper extremity was observed at birth, but was not accurately diagnosed until the patient visited our department. Diagnostic assessment included evaluating the patient's history and laboratory and radiological data, which were all normal except for the swollen upper extremity and the lymphoscintigraphy findings. The patient was diagnosed as suffering from primary lymphedema of her left arm. Complete decongestive therapy was done and her swelling mildly improved. 相似文献

[Purpose] To determine which of the transcranial electromagnetic stimulation or low
level laser therapy is more effective in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia of multiple
sclerosis patients. [Methods] Thirty multiple sclerosis patients of both sexes
participated in this study. The age of the subjects ranged from 40 to 60 years and their
mean age was (56.4–6.6). Participants were randomly selected from Dental and Neurology
Outpatient Clinics at King Khalid Hospital, Najran University, Saudi Arabia. Patients were
randomly divided into two equal groups of 15. The Laser group received a low level laser
therapy, 830 nm wavelength, 10 Hz and 15 min duration, while the Electromagnetic group
received repetitive transcranial electromagnetic stimulation at a frequency of 10 Hz,
intensity of 50 mA and duration of 20 minutes. Patients were assessed pre and post
treatment for degree of pain using a numerical rating scale, maximal oral mouth opening
using a digital calibrated caliper, masseter muscle tension using a tensiometer and a
compound action potentials of masseter and temporalis muscles. [Results] There were
significant improvements after treatment in both groups, with a significant difference
between the Electromagnetic and Laser groups, in favor of the Electromagnetic group.
[Conclusion] Repetitive transcranial electromagnetic stimulation at 10 Hz, 50 mA, and 20
minutes duration is more effective than low level laser therapy at reducing trigeminal
pain, increasing maximum oral mouth opening, masseter and temporalis muscle tension in
multiple sclerosis patients.Key words: Trigeminal neuralgia, Low level laser, Trans-cranial electromagnetic stimulation 相似文献

[Purpose] This study examined the impact of low-intensity laser therapy on wound healing
and pain control using a rat cutaneous wound model. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four
adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (between 220−240 g, 7 weeks) were used in this study. The
rats were anesthetized and a circular fragment of skin was removed from the dorsal region
of the back by a punch with an 8-mm diameter. The animals were randomly divided into 6
groups, Groups C 1, C 3, and C 5, control groups, received no laser treatment. Groups T 1,
T 3, and T 5 received laser treatment for 20 min per day for 1, 3 and 5 days,
respectively. Lumbar spine and dorsal skin were extracted and processed using western blot
analysis. [Results] Periodical observation showed increases in NGF expression on the skin,
and decreases in c-fos expression by the spinal cord in the treatment
groups compared to the control group. [Conclusion] The present findings suggest that
low-intensity laser therapy could be used as an effective therapy for wound healing and
pain relief, and could be further used as a clinical approach for treating cutaneous
wounds.Key words: Low-intensity laser therapy, Wound healing, Pain relief 相似文献

[Purpose] Breast cancer-related upper extremity lymph edema is known to cause physical,
functional and psychological impairments in women after modified radical mastectomy. The
aim of this study was to investigate the effects of phase I Complex Decongestive
Physiotherapy (CDP) on physical functions and depression levels in women with breast
cancer-related upper extremity lymph edema. [Subjects and Methods] Fifty-eight subjects
with breast cancer-related upper extremity lymph edema were the subjects of this study.
The arm circumference, shoulder range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and depression
levels of the subjects were assessed before and after phase I CDP treatment. [Results]
After phase I CDP, there was a statistically significant reduction in circumference
measurements at all levels of the affected arm. There was not any statistically
significant difference in muscle strength after CDP. The shoulder ROM improved after
treatment. There was a significant reduction in the Beck Depression Inventory score. A
significant positive correlation was found between depression levels and circumference
measurement. [Conclusion] Based on the results we suggest that by reducing limb volume,
beside improving physical functions, phase I CDP can affect psychological status,
especially depression which is very common in women with breast cancer-related upper
extremity lymph edema.Key words: Lymph edema, Complex decongestive physiotherapy, Depression 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the
effects of low-level laser therapy in the treatment of TMD, and to analyze the use of
different assessment tools. [Subjects and Methods] Searches were carried out of the
BIREME, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO electronic databases by two independent researchers for
papers published in English and Portuguese using the terms: “temporomandibular joint laser
therapy” and “TMJ laser treatment”. [Results] Following the application of the eligibility
criteria, 11 papers were selected for in-depth analysis. The papers analyzed exhibited
considerable methodological differences, especially with regard to the number of sessions,
anatomic site and duration of low-level laser therapy irradiation, as well as irradiation
parameters, diagnostic criteria and assessment tools. [Conclusion] Further studies are
needed, especially randomized clinical trials, to establish the exact dose and ideal
parameters for low-level laser therapy and define the best assessment tools in this
promising field of research that may benefit individuals with signs and symptoms of
TMD.Key words: Temporomandibular joint disorder, Electromyography, Laser 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated the changes in pressure pain threshold of the upper
trapezius, levator scapular, and rhomboid muscles during continuous computer work.
[Subjects] Fourteen males and females aged 26–32 years, were recruited. [Methods] A
dolorimeter pressure algometer was used to measure the pressure pain threshold of the
upper trapezius, levator scapular, and rhomboid muscles, respectively, before computer
work and after 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min of computer work. [Results] The pressure pain
threshold of the upper trapezius was significantly decreased after 15 min or more of
computer work. The pressure pain threshold of the levator scapular was significantly
decreased after computer work for 30 min and 60 min. The pressure pain threshold of the
rhomboid muscle was significantly decreased after 60 min of computer work. [Conclusion]
Continuous computer work could produce much more pain in the levator scapular and rhomboid
muscle than the upper trapezius.Key words: Computer worker, Pressure pain threshold, Rhomboid muscle 相似文献

[Purpose] Information about clinical trials related to physical therapy (CTPT) in Japan, which has the highest aging rate in the world, is essential for physical therapy education, research, and policymaking to change and strengthen the education system and promote research grants. This survey aimed to clarify the proportion of CTPT in the clinical registry and compare the proportion of CTPT in Japan with that in North America. [Participants and Methods] The ClinicalTrials.gov (CTG) and National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) Clinical Trials were used. The number and proportion of CTPT were compared each year. The analyzed data spanned 10 years from 2010 to 2019. [Results] A total of 222,821 trials were registered in CTG during the 10 years. In search of “physical therapy”, 3,001 trials searched. The proportion of CTPT increased from 0.8% to 1.7%. In total 42,194 trials were registered in the NIPH Clinical Trials Search. From the CTPT, 141 trials were obtained. The proportion of CTPT increased from 0.05% to 0.5%. The proportion of CTPT in the NIPH Clinical Trials Search was one-third or less than that in the CTG. The proportion of CTPT in CTG increased yearly, but the proportion of CTPT in NIPH Clinical Trials Search has not increased since 2016. [Conclusion] The proportion of CTPT is relatively low in Japan, compared with that in North America, and it showed no increasing trend. It is important to provide education and support for clinical trials in an aging country such as Japan. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study was performed to discover the possible onset time of diabetic
neuropathy by age of diabetic patients, and to provide the knowledge necessary for
preventing or managing diabetic neuropathy. [Subjects] The subjects of this study were
outpatients who visited D Hospital Department of Neurology with complaints of significant
neuropathic symptoms including dullness, numbness and paraesthesia. [Methods] Stimulations
of 5 Hz, 250 Hz and 2,000 Hz were generated with a Neurometer CPT (Neurotron Inc.,
Baltimore, MD, USA) and delivered selectively to C fibers, A-delta fibers and A-beta
fibers. The intensity of the stimulations of 5 Hz, 250 Hz and 2,000 Hz was incrementally
increased as much as 0.01 mA. [Result] The results of this experiment show that the period
of retrogression of nervous fibers was different significantly according to the age of
patients with diabetes mellitus. Especially, in the case of individuals in their 50''s, Aβ,
Aδ, and C fibers in both the right and left lower limbs significantly changed within a
period of 2 months. In the case of individuals in their 60''s, Aβ and C fibers of the right
lower limb meaningfully changed 2 months after the onset of the disease, and Aβ, Aδ, and C
fibers of the left lower limb also significantly changed within a period of 2 months.
[Conclusion] We discovered that patients suffering from DM especially in their 50''s or
60''s should be thoroughly followed for their condition, right from the onset of DM, in
order to prevent the retrogression of nervous fibers.Key words: Diabetes mellitus, Nervous fiber, Neuropathy 相似文献

[Purpose] This study evaluated the effects of an oral orthosis that can change body
alignment on the balance ability and gait of healthy adults. [Subjects and Methods] The
subjects of this study were 21 University students. A gait analyzer was used to analyze
the subjects’ balance ability and gait quality. Two walking speeds were used: 2 km/h, a
comfortable speed, and 4 km/h, a slightly faster walking speed. [Results] The step length,
and base of gait at 2 km/h differed significantly after the intervention. The total step
time and step length increased significantly after the intervention. Furthermore, the
total base of gait decreased significantly after the intervention. The step times of the
left lower limb at 4 km/h differed significantly after the intervention. [Conclusion] The
oral orthosis tested positively affects the balance ability and gait of healthy
adults.Key words: Orthosis, Balance, Gait 相似文献
