Recent development in the clinical application of cell therapy is potentially useful for treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Rehabilitation is essential to improve the hip joint function and activity of patients. Rehabilitation program after cell therapy for ONFH treatment and other regenerative medicine fields is known. This narrative review aimed to assess the actual state ...

abstract introduction: chronic neck pain is one of the most common problems among computer users. the aim of this research was evaluation of the effect of 8 weeks selected exercise therapy and self treatment with pamphlet programs on the strength and range of motion (rom) of the neck in the patients with chronic neck pain. methods: sixty-six patients with chronic neck pain (mean (±sd) age 39.19...

BACKGROUND Exercise therapy following total hip replacement (THR) is considered to be important during the initial postoperative care, but till date only a few evidence-based recommendations exist. The aim of this survey was to identify prescription standards among different rehabilitation professionals, for the exercise therapy management after THR in Germany. METHODS The study was a cross-s...

To achieve excellent glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, an adequate prescription of exercise therapy is required. The meta-analyses proposed that high-intensity training improves metabolic parameters in patients with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes and low physical activity is associated with an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes. Here, we would introduce literatures abo...

Thiazolidinediones and exercise are both known to improve insulin action independently. Therefore, we determined whether combined therapy could normalize insulin action in the Zucker fatty (ZF) rat. Rats were fed troglitazone as a 0.2% food admixture over a 3-week exercise training period (treadmill running 5 days/week, 20 m/min, 0% grade, 60 min/day). Subsequent to drug and/or exercise therapy...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. OBJECTIVE Comparison of the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. METHODS This research was a randomized controlled clinical trial that was done on 45 schizophrenic patients, ...

Exercise is a cornerstone therapy for chronic diseases related to multiorgan insulin resistance. However, not all individuals show the anticipated improvement in insulin sensitivity following exercise and these individuals are considered exercise resistant. Caloric restriction is an approach to enhance the effect of exercise on increasing peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity, as replenish...

Functional omicron-iodohippurate scintigrams were obtained in 18 hypertensive patients. Each patient was examined in the prone position and during exercise. An exercise-induced transient, bilateral, hippurate transport disturbance was sought as an expression of an exercise-mediated cortical perfusion abnormality. The study sought to test the hypothesis that patients who present evidence for an ...

Evidence on the effects of exercise in the treatment of patients with chronic diseases should be based on well designed randomised controlled trials. The most consistent finding of the meta-analyses summarised in the present work is that aerobic/functional capacity and muscle strength can be improved by exercise training among patients with different diseases without having detrimental effects ...

Background. The high prevalence of chronic neck pain in high income countries impacts quality of life and the social and work-related activities of those afflicted. We aimed to understand how mind-body therapies and exercise therapy may influence the experience of pain among patients with chronic neck pain. Methods. This qualitative interview study investigated how patients with chronic neck pa...
