Abstract: Background: Abnormal gait is a common problem in children with CP, Increasing the knowledge concerning the difference in gait parameters between children with spastic diplegic CP and age-matched normal children can be helpful for both therapists and researchers in proper treatment planning. Purposes: To investigate the abnormality in the gait patterns by 3D gait analysis of the spatiotemporal parameters in spastic diplegic children. Materials and methods: twenty children of both sexes participated in this study were assigned into two groups ten spastic diplegic cerebral palsied patients as study group and ten age matched normal children as control group. Spatio-temporal parameters were assessed for all subjects by Three........

Abstract: The majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are treated by hemodialysis. This type of renal replacement therapy might affect the quality of sleep, causing fatigue and increasing anxiety level among these patients. Aim: The study aimed to investigate the effect of aromatherapy on sleep quality, fatigue and anxiety among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Setting: The study was conducted at the Hemodialysis Unit of the Renal Diseases Department at Shark El Madeena Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. Subjects: Data was collected from 60 adult patients who were undergoing hemodialysis and randomly assigned into two equal study groups. Patients in the control group received the routine hospital care, while patients in the study group received aromatherapy in the form of lavender oil inhalation...........

Abstract: Asthma is one of ten causes of illness in Indonesia. It can be cured by curative method using medicines and rehabilitation. One of the methods of rehabilitative treatment is by doing upper arm exercise. Upper arm exercise is the therapy for asthma. If it is regularly done, it will improve the strength of respiratory muscles, capacity and efficiency in respiratory process to reduce asthma attack and recurrence. The objective of the research was to reduce the frequency of asthma attack and recurrence. The research used quasi experiment design with one group pre-post test without control group. The sample consisted of 44 asthma patients selected by applying consecutive sampling technique. The results of the test examining the influence of upper arm exercise p-value was 0.000......

Abstract: Phlebitis is the most common complication due to placement peripheral venous catheter. Prevention of phlebitis can reduce the length of stay and the cost from hospital. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of ADULT bundle to prevention of phlebitis. The research method used is quasi-experimental. The ADULT bundle is designed based on evidence based practice, which consists of; assessment, documentation, utility, line, technical prevention of phlebitis. The population in this study were patients who had peripheral venous catheter attached. Convenience sampling of 76 respondents was divided into 2 groups; control and intervention. Observation of signs and symptoms of phlebitis was carried out for 4 days with infusion nurses society phebitis scale. The results showed that the application of the ADULT bundle was effective in preventing phlebitis (p < 0.05). It is hoped that nurses can apply the ADULT bundle in providing nursing care to patients who have peripheral venous catheter attached.
