Patients receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer may benefit in physical and psychological aspects from supervised moderate-intensity exercise therapy.

We investigated whether baseline lymphscintigraphic findings can predict long-term response to complex physical therapy (CPT) in patients with early stage extremity lymphedema. Twenty patients with unilateral extremity lymphedema of clinical stage I or II underwent CPT after baseline lymphscintigraphy. Therapeutic responses (good vs. poor) were evaluated at 1 year post-CPT based on changes in skin status and subjective symptoms, and percent volume reductions and compared with clinical factors an

A digital healthcare system based on augmented reality (AR) has promising uses for postoperative rehabilitation. We compare effectiveness of AR-based and conventional rehabilitation in patients after rotator cuff repair (RCR). This study randomly allocates 115 participants who underwent RCR to digital healthcare rehabilitation group (DR group) and conventional rehabilitation group (CR group). The DR group performs AR-based home exercises using UINCARE Home+, whereas the CR group performs brochur

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> <i>Limited range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder occurs commonly after breast cancer surgery, resulting in reduced quality of life and difficulty with activities of daily living. Physical exercise is effective in postoperative breast cancer patients, but no study has assessed the effects of augmented reality (AR)-based telerehabilitation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of hospital-home linked rehabilitation therapy using an AR-based digital heal

An accessory navicular bone (AN) is the most common accessory ossicle in the foot. The presence of an AN bone can trigger various foot problems, such as posterior tibial tendon pathology, flattening of the medial longitudinal arch, and medial foot pain. Despite the clinical influence of presence of an AN in foot disease, the research regarding its inheritance is still insufficient. A total of 135 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins, 25 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins, and 676 singletons from families

Abstract Various techniques are available for measuring the status of lymphedema. A modified imaging technique using ultrasonography was developed to measure the structure of soft tissue area in a cost-effective manner. The purpose of this study was to measure the reliability and the accuracy of this new method. Ultrasonography was performed on both arms of twenty healthy female participants. At 10 cm above (AE) and below (BE) the elbow crease, soft tissue thickness at medial, lateral, inferior,

This study investigated the feasibility and usability of a personalized mobile health (mHealth) app for self-management during the year following breast cancer surgery. Twenty-nine participants were instructed to use an app and smart band immediately after discharge. Only 18 completed the study. Their perceived necessity and satisfaction for main domains and app were assessed at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. A self-reporting questionnaire assessed usability at 12 months. Consequently, retention
