This study will provide a definitive evaluation of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a comprehensive exercise program for chronic whiplash.
18 However, it remains unclear whether the beneficial effects of exercise, and particularly the additive effects of NMES, are sustained 3 months after completion of a comprehensive exercise program.
Therefore the aims of this study are to: Establish the effectiveness of a comprehensive exercise program for chronic whiplash (defined as whiplash symptoms for greater than 3 months' duration and less than 12 months' duration) as measured by reductions in pain and disability, and improvements in participants' impressions of overall recovery and quality of life.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) examines the effect of a comprehensive exercise training stimulus on physiological function and mobility disability (i.e., problems walking) in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have walking impairment.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this comprehensive exercise approach for chronic whiplash.
Global recommendations included: vitamin D, calcium, a comprehensive exercise program and the initiation of pharmacological treatment for residents at high risk.
In addition to the primary and secondary outcomes, economic outcomes will be collected to assess the cost-effectiveness of the comprehensive exercise program.
The comprehensive exercise program begins with four weeks of specific cervical spine exercises, aerobic exercise and includes manual therapy techniques as required.
In part, this may be due to the restricted scope and rather perfunctory nature of the elicitation; a more comprehensive exercise, with more experts, would be desirable.
Conclusion: Our comprehensive exercise program, designed for widespread applicability, enhanced physical performance and fitness in a population of frail elderly.
