NCT06269887
There are strength and functional differences between non-dominant and dominant extremities. This is important in the hand and extremity rehabilitation process. This situation also differs between genders. Comparison of the dominant and non-dominant limb can provide important clinical or rehabilitation field-related information. It is reported in the literature that manual dexterity, grip strength and joint position sense may differ between extremities. However, the relationship between this situation and the difference between genders has not been explained. It is thought that examining this difference can be extremely useful in determining achievable goals in hand rehabilitation and in customizing care for different groups.
NCT06155617
The aim of this study is to examine the development of a conceptual framework and provide evidence for reliability of a comprehensive hand therapy evaluation score. This approach provides a new standardized tool for upper extremity (UE) evaluation. Components of Pain, Range of Motion (ROM), Edema, Sensibility, Strength (PRESS), and self-reported Function were combined to create a baseline. Each assessment tool used for the PRESS to Function Approach assists in determining appropriate interventions.
NCT05883488
The use of robotic rehabilitation, a treatment method for improving the motor functions of the upper extremities, is gradually increasing in children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of robot-assisted rehabilitation for the upper extremity on upper extremity functions, manual skills and quality of life in patients with unilateral or bilateral/triplegic spastic cerebral palsy and also to compare the effect of robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation compared to traditional rehabilitation methods.
NCT05821257
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease which causes motor and sensory deficits, cerebellar symptoms, and balance problems. Due to these symptoms, gait abnormalities are common in MS, even in patients with low degrees of impairment. The upper limb has an important role on postural control and gait stability. Affected arm swing movement and asymmetry during gait are common in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) even in early stages of the disease and arm swing treatment has been acknowledged to enhance gait and normalize arm swing in individuals with PD. The presence of arm swing changes during walking in MS patients, similar to PD, especially in the early period, may be an indicator of balance problems, this was, however, not investigated as such. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to assess the arm swing during gait in people with MS shortly after their diagnosis in early MS.
NCT05338229
There are 3 phases of the study. This registration is phase 2.1.This registration will conduct a pilot study in the cerebral palsy children.
NCT05327179
Cerebral Palsy (CP) defines a group of permanent disorders in the development of movement and posture, which occur in the developing fetal and newborn brain, due to non-progressive disorders, leading to activity limitations. In addition to the traditional rehabilitation interventions used in upper extremity rehabilitation, a new treatment method, Action Observation Therapy (AOT), has been added recently with the discovery of the Mirror Neuron System. AOT; By watching the videos prepared, mirror neurons are activated and these activities are learned through imitation. Activation of mirror neurons strengthens voluntary motor movement by strengthening the affected nerve pathways or by creating alternative pathways. AOT is an easily applicable method as telerehabilitation because it is based on watching and replaying video recordings. Virtual Rehabilitation (VR); It is another treatment approach applied to improve the motor functions of children with CP and created with the contribution of developing technology. It has been reported that activities have a positive effect on motor learning due to their intense, task-oriented, active participation and high motivation. Within the scope of this thesis, the effect of AOT and VR to be applied at home, which has been on the agenda for upper extremity, on the trunk and upper extremity will be examined in detail and a contribution will be made to the literature.
NCT04083274
Postoperative pain is important following upper extremity surgery. Postoperative effective pain treatment provides early mobilization and shorter hospital stay.Ultrasound (US)-guided brachial plexus blocks such as interscalen, axillary, infraclavicular and supraclavicular block are usually performed. The US-guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. Local anesthetic injection is administrated into the deep fascia of erector spinae. ESPB provides thoracic analgesia at T5 level, abdominal analgesia at T7-9 level, and lumbar analgesia at T10-12, L3 levels. There are a few case reports about the efficacy of ESPB for acute and chronic shoulder pain. However, there are no randomized clinical studies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the US-guided ESPB for postoperative analgesia management after upper extremity surgery.

The relationship between perinatologists' ultrasound use and upper limb joint pain will be evaluated.
