Do exercise approaches affect recovery in post-op breast cancer patients?

Breast cancer treatment often involves surgical interventions, such as radical mastectomy or quadrantectomy with axillary dissection. A critical aspect of post-operative care is physiotherapy, which aids in recovery and reduces complications. To delve into the effectiveness of different exercise approaches, researchers led by Laura Ferreira de Rezende, et. al., (2006) conducted a randomized clinical trial involving 60 women. The primary objective of the study was … Continue reading Do exercise approaches affect recovery in post-op breast cancer patients?

Can Early Active Motion Enhance Postoperative Recovery Following Extensor Indicis Tendon Transfer?

In 2008, Megerle, et. al., conducted prospective randomized trial, which aimed to assess the outcomes and complications associated with two distinct postoperative treatment protocols after extensor indicis tendon transfer. The study compared the efficacy of dynamic motion, involving passive extension using a rubber band system, with early active motion, which initiated active thumb extension. The evaluation included active range of motion in the interphalangeal (IP) … Continue reading Can Early Active Motion Enhance Postoperative Recovery Following Extensor Indicis Tendon Transfer?

How does early mobilization compare to plaster immobilization in terms of recovery of elbow movement and stiffness?

In 1999, Rafai, et. al., conducted the research about Pure posterior dislocation of the elbow, a common injury among young individuals, poses a significant challenge in terms of treatment. The main goals of addressing this dislocation are to achieve successful reduction and prevent complications, particularly stiffness and elbow instability. In an unprecedented prospective study, researchers aimed to evaluate two treatment methods, namely plaster immobilization and … Continue reading How does early mobilization compare to plaster immobilization in terms of recovery of elbow movement and stiffness?
