Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy periarticular capsuloligamentous arthroscopic release of shoulder internal rotation contracture in brachial plexus palsy without any further intervention as tendon transfer.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of dry needling (DN) and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, range of motion, lower extremity functional status on hamstring tightness in patients with posterior pelvic tilt.
In burn patients, joint contracture is a common complication caused by hypertrophic scars, necessitating accurate evaluation and diagnosis of the degree of disability and functional deterioration. A standard goniometer based on the American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines for measuring joint range of motion (ROM) is the gold standard for evaluating musculoskeletal diseases. However, the handheld goniometer is highly dependent on the skill and experience of the measurer. Recently, a marker-based system for accurate ROM measurement has been demonstrated in clinical evaluation. This study investigated the reliability and validity of the marker-based system for evaluation of joint ROM in burn patients. Inclusion criteria were as follows: male or female patients between 18 and 75 years of age, partial or full-thickness burns that healed spontaneously or required skin grafting, and limited joint ROM in the upper extremities caused by burns. Exclusion criteria were limited joint ROM due to severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, congenital defects, structural disease, amputation, central or peripheral nervous system injuries, difficulty in voluntary decision-making due to cognitive impairment, or a history of orthopaedic surgery due to fracture. The experimentals tried to compare the validity and reliability of a marker-based system and AMA methods for the burn patient with joint contracture of upper extremities.
This is an observational study, meaning participants will not receive any investigational treatment as part of this study. Researchers will collect real-world data (RWD), based on usual care, to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the natural history and the treatment outcomes of Dupuytren's Contracture (DC) to evaluate the management of DC.
Comparison of the effects of passive stretching vs. sciatic nerve gliding in soccer players presenting with short hamstring syndrome.
Limited ankle range of motion is associated with increased risk for ankle sprains, knee joint dysfunction and injury to the ACL. Therefore, it is important that researchers and clinicians understand the best treatment options to increase ankle range of motion for injury prevention. We are recruiting adults with limited ankle range of motion who are lacking current ankle injuries for a treatment investigation. All study procedures will occur on the campus of the University of South Carolina by a licensed Physical Therapist and experienced researcher.
The present study evaluates the effect of yoga therapy on scarring contractures and shoulder joint motion and range in women diagnosed with breast cancer. A single-blinded prospective, randomized controlled trial will be used.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the HyperVolt percussive massage device, body tempering, and dry cupping to static stretching of the hamstrings of healthy adults aged 18-39 years on the active knee extension and back saver sit-and-reach test.While these modalities are frequently used in healthcare settings there is a paucity of research regarding effectiveness. If the effects on flexibility are comparable, patients could save time and money by performing static stretching.
The aim is to determine whether the game of ice hockey has an effect on structural changes in the hip joint. The parameter to be investigated will be the increased frequency of structural changes of the hip joint in ice hockey players compared to a control group. Participants in the study will undergo MSK sonographic examination of both hip joints followed by functional hip mobility testing. The functional testing consists of three tests. Data will be processed in MS Office in MS Word, and the resulting data will be subject to statistical evaluation.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can reliably restore active forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, which are often lost in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. However, functional internal rotation (i.e., functional movements of the hand behind the body) is often unsatisfactorily restored and/or lost after RTSA. This study aims to compare the standard surgical approach for RTSA to RTSA with conjoint tendon resection with the targeted metric being postoperative functional internal rotation.
