Active clinical trials for "Mobility Limitation"

Investigate development of an Innovative Instrument on Robot-Aided and Virtual Reality Rehabilitation for Intelligent Physical Training (i.e. gait and stepping) of Individuals post-stroke.

this project seeks to understand and quantify the effects of powered transtibial prostheses on socket loading and direct measures of residual limb health so as to inform the optimization of prosthesis fit.

The purpose of this study is to investigate parental attitudes towards their child who has a mobility impairment, to using a modified electric toy car, and to evaluate from their perspective, if it facilitated social interaction for their child with mobility impairment.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate via a physiological analysis of the movements involved in standing, the level of forward flexion of the spine (in cm on the horizontal axis) obtained with the apparatus "Tina" and to compare levels obtained in the same patients with stander/transfer devices "Turner" and "Vertic'Easy".

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of using walking aid during out-of-bed mobilization of patients who underwent open coronary artery bypass graft surgery on levels of pain and mobility. The main hypotheses are: The pain level of patients using walking aid is lower than that of those who do not. The mobility level of patients using walking aid is higher than that of those who do not. Participants will be asked to walk with using a walking aid during the first three mobilizations in the intensive care unit on the first postoperative day.

The 3 m walk-back test is used to assess neuromuscular control, proprioception, protective reflexes, fall risk, and balance. In a study of healthy elderly adults, a 3-m walk-back test showed better diagnostic accuracy compared to the most commonly used measurement methods for falls in the past year. Reliability is extremely important, especially for research and clinical applications. In order to assess the risk of falling, measurement methods need to be reliable and change accurately over time. 3 m walk back test was found to be reliable in healthy elderly individuals. However, there are no studies investigating the validity and reliability of this test in stroke patients.

The study aimed to assess the effect of position change and back massage versus early ambulation on post transfemoral coronary angiography complications.

Approximately 30% of community-dwelling older adults experience one or more falls per year, resulting in injuries, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life. While there are known physiological risk factors for falls, including poor balance and altered gait patterns, it is now recognized that impaired cognitive functioning is also a risk factor for falls. Within the broad construct of cognition, one specific domain that has been focused on in the falls literature is attention. The literature suggests that improving attention in those at-risk for falls may reduce older adult's risk of falling.

This a cross-over study to compare the effect of two different muscle energy techniques (MET) including post-isometric inhibition and reciprocal inhibition on the spinal reflex excitability. The study contains two experimental groups, while one group will receive post-isometric inhibition MET in the first stage and reciprocal inhibition MET in the second stage, the other group will receive reciprocal inhibition MET in the first stage and post-isometric inhibition MET in the second stage.

Limited ankle dorsiflexion adversely affects the weight bearing capacity, increases the knee extensor moment and causes insufficient maneuvers to change the center of gravity of the body in patients with hemiplegia. While biomechanical studies emphasized the importance of proximal tibiofibular joint and distal tibiofibular joint manipulations for ankle dorsiflexion, no studies examining the effect of corrective manipulation techniques applied to these two joints on foot posture, range of motion and balance were observed.
