However, there has been little … Continue reading Can stretching exercises outperform observation for infant foot deformities?

Which treatment approach prevails in whiplash-associated disorders: Early active mobilization or standard protocols?

In 2000, Rosenfeld, et. al., conducted study about Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) which resulting from motor vehicle collisions pose a significant challenge in terms of management, with limited compelling evidence available.

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of early active mobilization … Continue reading Which treatment approach prevails in whiplash-associated disorders: Early active mobilization or standard protocols?

Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?

In 1998, Nava, et. al., conducted study about Pulmonary rehabilitation which has proven effective for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but its impact on those recovering from acute respiratory failure remains less explored. In this prospective, randomized study, we investigated the physiological effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD patients recuperating from such critical episodes in a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU). Eighty COPD … Continue reading Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?

How does music-movement therapy impact physical and psychological well-being in stroke patients?

In 2013, a study by Eun-Mi Jun, Young Hwa Roh, and Mi Ja Kim, the therapeutic potential of music and movement was explored in the context of stroke patient rehabilitation. This investigation aimed to assess the impact of music-movement therapy on both the physical and psychological well-being of individuals recovering from strokes, a subject with limited prior research. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre- and … Continue reading How does music-movement therapy impact physical and psychological well-being in stroke patients?
