NCT07413302
Lumbar disc herniations may result in lower limb weakness. In such cases, there is a strong indication for surgical intervention through microdiscectomy. This clinical study aims to investigate preoperative factors that may influence the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing this procedure.
NCT03979235
Using robotics, sensors, and sEMG to develop clinic-oriented quantitative effectiveness evaluation and individualized programs of rehabilitation
NCT06820125
The first aim of this project is to investigate the effects of different high-tech neurorehabilitation interventions (cognitive, motor, and combined cognitive-motor) on both cognitive and motor disability outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The second aim is to identify the cognitive and motor profiles of MS patients who benefit the most from either the combined cognitive-motor rehabilitation intervention or the isolated cognitive or motor treatments.
NCT00766051
Many critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care (NICU) or critical care unit (NCCU) environment develop feeding and movement problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which neurophysiologically based occupational therapy intervention (NBOTI) for NCCU infants would affect the intervention group's oral feeding and other covariates, such as heart rate variability (HRV) during feeding. The biopsychosocial model provided the study's conceptual framework. The key research question explored whether NBOTI in the NCCU promoted healthy infant development through feeding, movement organization, and parent self-efficacy. This exploratory study with 10 NCCU infants and 10 historical matched controls utilized a mixed method design of qualitatively coded video analysis and inferential statistics such as the t test, the binomial test, hierarchal linear modeling (HLM), and multivariate analysis. Significant differences were obtained between the intervention and comparison groups in the number of days from all tube to all oral feeding before discharge and speed at which the infants gained weight. Longitudinal analyses of the intervention group data were employed to reveal significant trends and pre/post differences in the HRV data along with how quickly the infants ate, parent perceptions of self efficacy and decreased stress in the NCCU. Finally, qualitative findings obtained from videotape analysis provide further evidence that NBOTI was effective in facilitating feeding and promoting development. The recommendations are to replicate this study to validate and expand the findings of the current study. The model for infant care suggested by the findings could contribute to positive social change by fostering positive physical and emotional child development and healthy child-parent and family-caregiver relationships.
