Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a continuous gastrocnemius plane block for perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery under elective general anesthesia.
Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid, or STABHA™, has demonstrated varying degrees efficacy in patients treated for common musculoskeletal tendinopathies and ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Factors associated with prognosis following treatment remain largely unknown. Identifying appropriate patient populations for use of STABHA™ is a necessary first step to facilitate the design of future clinical trials in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal soft-tissue injuries.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.
The primary objective is to evaluate indications and outcomes of operative fixation of syndesmotic injuries, at least in part, with direct anatomic augmentation in acute and subacute traumatic cases. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate clinically the InternalBraceTm to facilitate the direct syndesmotic fixation/augmentation.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of coverage of soft tissue defects of leg and foot by modified sural flap versus anterolateral thigh flap
The purpose of the study is actually the translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric validation in the Italian Version of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) English Version for use in outpatient clinics in non-English subjects to objectify chronic ankle instability.
Deep vein Thrombosis (Deep Venous Thrombosis, DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Embolism, PE) both collectively known as Venous thromboembolism (VTE) (Venous Thrombus Embolism, VTE), is a common clinical disease, and tremendous harmful. Ankle fractures in patients requiring long-term bed braking, increase the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy as an important measures to prevent thrombosis in clinical widely accepted, however, the literature anticoagulation effect incision healing. Whether to strike a balance between the two, to develop a foot fracture in accordance with the Chinese characteristics of anticoagulant solution is we try to solve the problem. The purpose of this study is aimed at the use of oral anticoagulants and physical anticoagulant treatment knee far foot fracture patients randomized controlled studies in China.
Complex high energy fractures of the lower extremity are life changing injuries and are known to be associated with poor functional outcome post operatively. The list of potential post-operative complications associated with these injuries is long, and the worst of these fractures can even be limb threatening. One of the most difficult and prevalent post-operative issues this patient population faces is chronic pain and its association to opioid addiction, which is currently an epidemic across North America. These individuals not only present with physical insult but psychological trauma as well, which also greatly affects these patients post-operatively. Properly educating the patient about their injury and the process that they will embark on can greatly empower the patient as they begin their journey of rehabilitation. This process can hopefully mute or silence some of these modifiable risk factors predisposing patients to poor functional outcomes and chronic pain. The investigators also hope to help them initiate/develop coping strategies to better overcome the many obstacles these patients face and to do so using 3D printing. 3D printed models have not only been demonstrated to be valuable in orthopaedics, when it comes to educating patients about their disease and associated interventions, but many other specialties as well; such as: cardiac surgery, urology, and general surgery. Literature suggest that often little is understood or retained by the patient following a patient consent with regards to their injury, potential complications, interventions to be undertaken, as well as the rehabilitation process to follow. By providing the patient with a 3D printed model of their fracture while educating them pre-/post-operatively, the investigators hope they will better understand the aforementioned, often forgotten points, indirectly yielding better overall patient satisfaction, patient outcomes and pain scores.
