The Relationship Between Nerve Conduction Study and Clinical Grading of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (2016)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
There are many proposed ways to examine and diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the current literature. The authors of the presently examined study sought to determine if sensory and motor nerve conduction studies are correlated with clinical severity grading in people with CTS. A prospective case control design was utilized and was conducted in […]

Corticosteroid or Placebo Injection Combined with Deep Transverse Friction Massage, Mills Manipulation, Stretching and Eccentric Exercise for Acute Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomised, Controlled Trial (2015)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
A randomized controlled study with one year follow-up was conducted. Subjects included a total of 177 men and women aged 18 to 70 diagnosed with recent onset lateral epicondylitis (onset of symptoms within the last 2 weeks to 3 months). Subjects were excluded if they had injections or physical therapy within the last 12 months, […]

Effectiveness of the Graded Motor Imagery to Improve Hand Function in Patients with Distal Radius Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
Distal radius fractures (DRFx) are one of the most common types of fractures. Rehabilitation for DRFx may be complicated due to challenges associated with recovery times, discomfort, pain, and decreased mobility. The pain intensity score during the acute stage postinjury has been shown to determine the patient’s profile for rehabilitation and recovery. Therefore, pain control […]

Factors Influencing Compliance With Home Exercise Programs Among Patients With Upper-Extremity Impairment (1999)

January 16, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The researchers hypothesized that the following would predict greater compliance with HEPs: Greater perceived benefits of rehabilitation, greater perceived severity of the disease or injury, greater self-efficacy, lower perceived barriers to carrying out the HEPs.Internal HLOC.Higher interest in the recommended HEPs. Background In occupational therapy literature, the extent to which a person follows medical or […]

Effectiveness of the Graded Motor Imagery to Improve Hand Function in Patients with Distal Radius Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2018)

January 16, 2022 by Megan Berg.
Neuro Rehabilitation from a DRFx can be complicated by prolonged recovery time, pain, and decreased mobility. Pain is one of the major risk factors inhibiting recovery. In severe cases, patients can develop complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS), a chronic pain condition. Therefore, pain management is essential in the early stages of the rehabilitation of DRFx. […]
