Filter by:Ankle sprain in children is a very common pathology. Currently in France, a standard X-ray is done in almost all cases. However, the literature has for several years validated the consideration of the Ottawa ankle rules in children to avoid the realization of these X-rays. Our study is an evaluation of clinical practice. The aim is to assess the impact of the implementation of a new protocol using the Ottawa ankle rules from the age of 5. In particular, radiographic sparing and absence of diagnostic error.
This study intends to use a prospective study design method to continuously collect immune cell and inflammatory factor data of 5ml peripheral blood and 10ml joint fluid from 200 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in our department from January 2020 to January 2022. The aim is to analyze the impact of changes in inflammatory factors before and after surgery on postoperative recovery.
Football is a team activity that calls for numerous sophisticated talents, including speed, endurance, speed, strength, and quickness. It is getting more and more popular among professional and amateur players, particularly in America.
The purpose of this study is to determine the value of including dynamic vision testing into California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Athletics' established concussion protocol. The study's hypotheses are 1) dynamic vision testing will reveal vision impairments right after a person sustains a concussion, 2) these impairments may still be present upon clearance to return to play.
The primary objective of the pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial to determine the effect of arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization vs. non-operative management on the risk of recurrent anterior dislocation rates and functional outcomes following in patients presenting with a first-time dislocation (FTD) over a 24-month period.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the functional shoulder recovery of patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations at 24 months when treated with either arthroscopic capsuloligamentous repair (Bankart Procedure +/- Remplissage) or coracoid transfer (Latarjet procedure).
Sports injuries are a very important issue for baseball players. Previous studies have found that the incidence of sports injuries faced by baseball players is continuously increasing. Sports injury rates in professional baseball, high school baseball, and college baseball players were as high as 3.6, 4.6, and 5.8 per 1,000 players, respectively. The main cause of many pitching injuries is attributed to a large number of repetitive pitches. To avoid sports injuries, it is necessary to know how to assess the risk of injury caused by repetitive pitching. Throwing is a fairly complex action that requires the coordination of the entire body. It is critical to investigate the biomechanical changes of players in order to effectively analyze such complex movements.
Primary Objective: To explore changes in shear wave elastography (SWE) and microvascular flow imaging (MFI) measurements from time of injury through the recovery phase of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries to determine if a correlation exists with functional impairment. Secondary Objective: To develop a deep learning AI system for automated region of interest (ROI) determination for measurement of average SWE and MFI. Methodology: Eligible subjects with lower extremity injuries will undergo SWE and MFI measurements and complete the Lower Extremity Functional Scale questionnaire at each study visit. Clinical data related to the evaluation of the injury acquired during standard medical care of the injury will be collected from the patients' medical record such as CT or MRI scans, X-rays, physical exams and tests as well as laboratory measurements. Subjects will undergo serial SWE and MFI imaging throughout their rehabilitation episode of care to assess changes over time, status in rehabilitation and comparison to the contralateral extremity.
This project will utilize a quasi-experimental, multiple baseline pretest-posttest design where participants will complete postural stability assessments, physical performance assessments, and questionnaires to evaluate perceptions toward injury prevention before and after completing a 6-week neuromuscular-cognitive prevention program.
Competitive sport increases risk for musculoskeletal injury (e.g., traumatic knee injury) and may position former athletes for early onset of chronic diseases, chronic pain, poor health-related quality of life, and disability. Quantifying function in former athletes with and without a prior injury and non-athlete controls is critical to understanding long-term health trajectories in athletes and informing potential interventional studies. One modifiable factor that may be associated with long-term health in athletes is physical activity patterns. The purpose of this study is to evaluate strength, function, physical activity, dietary patterns, and cardiometabolic health among current and former competitive athletes and in nonathlete controls to evaluate the impact of prior knee injury and sedentary behavior as two potential determinants of later poor health and reduced function.
