Filter by:I want to design Stance control orthotic knee joint for improvement of KAFO users which is not available in Pakistan imported stance control orthotic knee joints are very expensive patients can't afford. The aim of my study to develop low cost stance control knee joint and ensure its availablity for KAFO users.
The aim of this pilot study is to analyze the effect of SVF injection produced by adipose tissue processing, in terms of clinical improvement, in patients with moderate to severe (stage 1-3) ankle osteoarthritis. Evaluation will be performed by administering pre-operative and post-operative clinical assessment questionnaires. Patients will be followed-up with a pre-operative evaluation and post-operative evaluations at 30 days, 3-6-12, and 24 months after application.
This is a prospective, multi-location safety and effectiveness study, and data registry of autologous adult ADRCs generated by the Transpose® RT System in subjects with OA in the shoulder, wrist, knee, hip, or ankle.
This will be an open-label trial to describe the effects of cryoneurolysis with iovera° on symptom relief in patients with painful Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 2-4 ankle osteoarthritis (OA). The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) subscales will be used to assess outcomes at 6, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment.
Ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, progressive condition that can severely limit physical activity and reduce quality of life. Rocker bottom (RB) shoes and ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly used as non-surgical treatments for ankle OA. RB shoes have a curved sole in the toe to heel direction that may alleviate joint pain by reducing ankle range of motion (ROM). Similarly, AFOs may reduce joint motion by securing the foot and ankle within the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) frame. This study aims to determine the ability of RB shoes and AFOs to improve mobility, by relieving pain and reducing joint ROM.
The Veteran population is prone to foot and ankle maladies from common injuries such as sprains, and diseases such as ankle osteoarthritis (cartilage damage). More specific to Veterans are prior service injuries of the foot and ankle, which historically account for nearly a quarter of injuries received. These injuries include bone fractures and ligament damage. Some of these injuries may lead to poor ankle joint alignment, which over time could lead to osteoarthritis due to abnormal wear on a day to day basis. The goal of this proposal is to use a novel technology - biplane fluoroscopy, to study the movement of ankles which are misaligned in subjects with ankle osteoarthritis. This proposal will also benefit current diagnostic methods with additional information. Last, this proposal will test the effectiveness of a conservative treatment (modified shoe insoles) to correct or reduce the misalignment in ankles. This proposal will create evidence about: the nature of ankle osteoarthritis, the accuracy of diagnosing alignment, and conservative treatment for patients with ankle OA.
This study will investigate the effect of foot orthoses on two common conditions (ankle osteoarthritis and symptomatic adult onset flat feet) by using a custom biplane X-ray system the group has developed to very accurately and precisely quantify foot bone motion. The investigators will vary the design of the orthoses and subjects will be examined to find out which are most effective at improving function.
