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.

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?
