Does early mobilization increase the risk of pulmonary embolism in acute deep vein thrombosis patients?

A recent prospective randomized clinical trial sheds light on the safety of early mobilization in patients diagnosed with acute lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Led by Romera-Villegas et. al.,(2008) the study aimed to investigate whether early mobilization increases the risk of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) and to identify potential predisposing factors for PE, such as thrombus location and duration of symptoms. The trial, conducted … Continue reading Does early mobilization increase the risk of pulmonary embolism in acute deep vein thrombosis patients?

Accelerated rehabilitation after ankle fracture surgery: Is early mobilization beneficial?

In 2007, Vioreanu, et. al., conducted study about Ankle fractures which is often require surgical intervention to facilitate proper healing and regain mobility. The objective of operative treatment is to enable swift movement following internal fixation. This study sought to investigate whether early mobilization, as opposed to traditional immobilization, could enhance the recovery of functionality in patients who underwent surgery for ankle fractures. In a … Continue reading Accelerated rehabilitation after ankle fracture surgery: Is early mobilization beneficial?

Comparing rest, physiotherapy, and mobilization: Which yields better neck pain recovery?

Neck sprains are a common consequence of road accidents, often leading to persistent symptoms and discomfort for affected individuals. In an effort to improve patient outcomes, a pioneering study conducted by L.A. McKinney(1989) sought to explore the long-term effects of early mobilization exercises compared to rest or physiotherapy in patients with acute neck sprains. The study employed a single-blind, randomized, prospective design, enrolling 247 consecutive … Continue reading Comparing rest, physiotherapy, and mobilization: Which yields better neck pain recovery?

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?
