This was followed by a short period of neck extensor exercises prior to sitting the patient up in a cervical collar. The collar was only discontinued after flexion and extension X-rays at 12 to 16 weeks after injury showed the spine to be stable. Patients treated by collar alone were ...
The modes of conservative therapy include rest, physical therapy with strengthening exercises for paraspinal musculature, bracing, use of optimal postural biomechanics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, analgesics, and antispasmodics. (See Treatment and Management.) Surgical decompression is indicated...
Brace treatment is based on this effect although the efficacy of bracing continues to be debated and questioned [26–39] while exercises are not even considered by many clinicians. Guidelines for the conservative management of scoliosis by physical therapy, intensive rehabilitation and brace treatment ...

These conclusions suggest that Delta large-channel endoscopy can facilitate enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), promoting mobility and functional exercises soon after surgery. This approach reduces bed time and minimizes the risk of complications such as thrombosis, pressure ulcers, and hypostatic ...

Besides leg/arm movement, rehabilitative therapies may focus on exercises to improve breathing, coughing (for clearing the chest), chewing, and swallowing.Respiratory supportSMA can weaken the muscles supporting the chest wall, ultimately leading to breathing difficulties and inefficient coughing and ...

Recent guidelines recommend that adults with a SCI should engage in (1) at least 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic activity 2 times per week and (2) strength training exercises 2 times per week, consisting of 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions of each exercise for each major muscle gro...
Physical methods include massage and ankle pump exercises, and the effects of low-molecular-weight heparin are best among the drug treatments. Rivaroxaban can also be used, and this drug has relatively minor side effects. It is generally believed that preventive drugs should be used until 30 d ...
