Patient education in physiotherapy in total hip arthroplasty (THA) - The perspective of physiotherapists
2018
Background and Purpose There is limited knowledge about patients’ and physiotherapists’ perceptions of patient education in physiotherapy in hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to describe physiotherapists’ conceptions of the patient education in physiotherapy needed by patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Methods The data for this qualitative study were collected using group and individual semi-structured interviews. Seven physiotherapists were interviewed. The research data were analyzed using a phenomenographic method. Results Three categories of patient education in physiotherapy in hip arthroplasty were produced and the categories formed a hierarchy. The narrowest descri…
Efficacy of a 12-month, monitored home exercise programme compared with normal care commencing 2 months after total knee arthroplasty: A randomized c…
2013
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a delayed home exercise programme compared with normal care after primary total knee arthroplasty. Design: Single-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Participants: A total of 108 participants (61% females, mean age 69 years [standard deviation 8.7]), were randomized to a home-based exercise group (EG, n=53) or to a control group (CG, n=55). Methods: Two months post-operatively, the EG received a home exercise programme, while the CG received no additional guidance. The outcome measurements were: pain and disability, measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC); healthrelated quality of life (HR…
Effects of Joint Kinetics on Energy Cost during Repeated Vertical Jumping
2019
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of lower limb joint kinetics on energy cost during jumping.Eight male middle and long-distance runners volunteered for the study. The subjects were asked to repeat vertical jumps at a frequency of 2 Hz for 3 min on a force platform in three different surface inclination conditions: Incline (+8°), Level (0°), and Decline (-8°). Sagittal plane kinematics were obtained using a high-speed video camera. Simultaneously, ground reaction forces and EMG of the lower limb muscles were recorded. Energy cost was calculated using steady-state oxygen uptake, respiratory ratio, and vertical distance of the body.In all conditions, energy cost correl…
Patients' narratives of patient education in physiotherapy after total hip arthroplasty.
2019
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to explore patients' narratives of patient education in physiotherapy after a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Method The data was collected via open thematic interviews from ten patients who had had a primary THA. The interviews were analysed using a qualitative, narrative method. Results Three story models of patient education in physiotherapy were identified: Supportive patient education in physiotherapy, Co-operative patient education in physiotherapy and Contradictory patient education in physiotherapy. The emphasis of narration in the first story model was on the trust in the guidance, functioning interaction in the second and insufficient pat…
The effectiveness of 12 months' intensive shoulder strength training on disability, health-related quality of life and shoulder function after rotato…
2017
This study examined the effectiveness of intensive shoulder strength training on disability, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and shoulder function in patients who had undergone rotator cuff repair (RCR). In addition, the self- report section of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Assessment Form (ASES) was cross-culturally adapted to the Finnish language and the psychometric properties of the Finnish version were assessed. Patients with a rotator cuff tear (aged 41-62 years) were randomized into an exercise group (EG, n=35) or a usual care group (UCG, n=32) after RCR. Disability was assessed with ASES questionnaire and quality of life with Short- Form 36 Health Surv…
Ca-P-O thin film preparation, modification and characterisation
2011
Bioceramics are biocompatible ceramic materials, that interact with biological systems of the body to treat, strengthen or replace body functions. Most conventional bioceramics are oxide ceramics, glass ceramics and calcium phosphate ceramics. Among these calcium phosphates, synthetic hydroxyapatite has been extensively studied due to its biomimetic properties similar to that of natural bone. One approach to prepare synthetic hydroxyapatite is to first deposit amorphous Ca-P-O thin film and then by means of post deposition annealing initiate the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals to the film. In addition to the correct film composition and crystalline structure, other surface properties s…
Knee joint loading in the open and square stance tennis forehands
2013
Sandamas, Paul 2013. Knee joint loading in the open and square stance tennis forehands. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä. Master's Thesis in Biomechanics. 80 pages. The aim of this study was to calculate and compare the resultant forces and moments in the knee joint of the open and square stance tennis forehands. An additional aim was to incorporate the ground reaction forces to shed light on the role of the lower body in aiding pelvic rotation in these two different forehands. The two types of forehand strokes hit by 7 right-handed university team level tennis players were filmed and the ground reaction forces on each foot were measured simultaneously. A …
Lonkan tekonivelleikkauksesta kuntoutuminen oppimisena
2016
TIIVISTELMÄ Vähäsantanen, M. 2016. Lonkan tekonivelleikkauksesta kuntoutuminen oppimisena. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, fysioterapian pro gradu –tutkielma, 58 s., 3 liitesivua. Suomessa tehdään vuosittain noin 7500 lonkan tekonivelleikkausta ja väestön ikääntyessä leikkausten määrä tulee todennäköisesti lisääntymään. Samaan aikaa hoitoajat ovat lyhentyneet, mikä lisää tarvetta fysioterapiaohjauksen kehittämiseen. Tekonivelleikkauksesta kuntoutuminen voidaan nähdä yksilöllisenä kasvu- ja oppimisprosessina, mutta aihetta on aiemmin tutkittu vähän fysioterapian alueella. Tämän pro gradu -tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on ymmärtää lonkan tekonivelleikkauksesta kuntoutumista oppimis…
Tekonivelleikattujen naisten kävelyn liikeanalyysi ennen leikkausta ja 12 kuukautta leikkauksen jälkeen
2013
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää eroja kävelyn liikeanalyysissä ennen ja 12 kuukautta leikkauksen jälkeen. Koehenkilöinä toimi kahdeksan naista, joille tehtiin polven tekonivelleikkaus Keski-Suomen keskussairaalassa. 12 kuukautta leikkauksen jälkeen koehenkilöiden kävelynopeus kasvoi tilastollisesti merkitsevästi, samoin ei-leikatun ja leikatun raajan askelparin pituus ja askelpituus kasvoivat. Kontaktiajat ja jarrutusvaiheen kestot lyhenivät sekä ei-leikatussa että leikatussa raajassa. Kiihdytysvaiheen kesto lyheni sekä ei-leikatussa että leikatussa raajassa. Kaksoistukivaiheen kesto lyheni sekä ei-leikatussa ja leikatussa raajassa.Polvinivelen tekonivelleikkauksella tämän tut…
