Can delayed shoulder exercises revolutionize post-mastectomy care?

Wound seroma remains a prevalent complication following mastectomy, necessitating the exploration of effective prevention strategies. This study, led by M. Abe, et. al.,(1998) aimed to assess the efficacy of delayed shoulder exercises in mitigating seroma formation after partial or total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection for cancer treatment. A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted, enrolling a total of 116 participants who underwent mastectomy … Continue reading Can delayed shoulder exercises revolutionize post-mastectomy care?

Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

In 1998, Snook, et. al., conducted 18-month randomized controlled trial with partial crossover which is aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the management of lumbar flexion in the early morning could significantly diminish chronic, nonspecific low back pain. Previous research has suggested an elevated risk of low back pain associated with forward bending during the early morning, primarily attributed to increased fluid content in the … Continue reading Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

How does physiotherapy impact postural performance and symptomatology in cervical-origin dizziness: A randomized controlled trial?

In 1996, Karlberg, et. al.,  sought to assess postural performance in patients experiencing dizziness suspected to originate from cervical factors. After excluding extracervical causes in 22 patients (15 women, 2 men, mean age 37 years), physiotherapy interventions were employed, and their effects on postural performance and subjective complaints of neck pain and dizziness were evaluated. The study, conducted at primary care centers and a tertiary … Continue reading How does physiotherapy impact postural performance and symptomatology in cervical-origin dizziness: A randomized controlled trial?

Can a 12-month exercise program enhance dynamic postural stability in older women?

In 1996, Lord, et. al., randomized controlled trial, conducted as part of the Randwick Falls and Fractures Study in Sydney, Australia, aimed to investigate the impact of a 12-month regular exercise program on dynamic postural stability in older women. The study included 112 community-dwelling women aged 60 to 85 years, with a mean age of 71.2 years. The participants were randomly assigned to either an … Continue reading Can a 12-month exercise program enhance dynamic postural stability in older women?

Does compliance to therapeutic exercise influence bone density and back complaints in postmenopausal women?

Osteoporosis poses a significant health concern, particularly for postmenopausal women, often leading to bone density loss and associated back problems. In this randomized controlled trial conducted at the Medical School, University of Vienna, the objective was to assess the impact of therapeutic exercise on bone density and back complaints in sedentary postmenopausal women. Ninety-two participants with a history of back problems were randomly assigned to … Continue reading Does compliance to therapeutic exercise influence bone density and back complaints in postmenopausal women?
