Osteoporosis is a bone disease that increases the risk of fractures. People aged 50-65 diagnosed with osteoporosis feel too young to have the disease. But this happens. They need to learn how to modify their lifestyle to minimize the chances of fractures. In this age group, a wrist fracture is usually the first sign of osteoporosis. Fracture risk increases if they are not taught to exercise, eat properly, and identifies fall risk factors early in their diagnosis. Some studies have looked at interventions for osteoporosis in women over the age of 65, but by this age they have likely already had a spine fracture. No studies have addressed the early-onset osteoporosis age group, intervening before spine fractures occur. I will develop an exercise, nutrition, and falls prevention education program to improve the strength, balance and knowledge of people aged 50-65 who had an osteoporotic wrist fracture. I will use this treatment approach and determine if it is more effective than the usual way of treating people with wrist fractures, determining if this is a better strategy for managing osteoporosis. I will have two groups of patients. First, those, over six weeks, receive twice weekly classes that include exercise and education. Here the focus is on bone health and fracture prevention. The control will receive usual physical therapy and the educational materials at the end of their study participation. The treatment will be randomly allocated to 74 men and women between the ages of 50-65 years of age who are 6-10 weeks post-fracture. The outcomes on both groups will be assessed and compared. I will focus on hand function, balance, fall hazard detection, and a bone health behaviour checklist. Using these outcomes, I can determine which treatment approach works best. Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men, making this an important study to improve the lives for many Canadians. The risk of osteoporosis fractures increases with age, making early interventions critical.
The study would like show that patients who follow a protocol with GMI are less probability to develop CRPS
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the sedative, and analgesic effects of intranasal (IN) Dexmedetomidine (DEX) in children presenting to a Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) who undergo conscious sedation for reduction of closed distal forearm fractures when compared to those receiving intravenous (IV) Ketamine. The secondary objective is to compare each sedation technique for safety and procedural outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to confirm that minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation with fully threaded headless cannulated compression screws for distal radius fracture repair has advantages over conventional open reduction internal fixation with titanium plates, providing superior fragment stability and allowing for early rehabilitation exercise of the wrist joint, which improves recovery of function. Also to show that minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation with fully threaded headless cannulated compression screws is the more suitable surgical method for repair of distal radius fracture.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a dynamic splinting system for wrist extension contracture following a distal radius fracture.
Patients will be randomized to volar plating with early ROM versus closed reduction with K-wires and 6 weeks of cast immobilization to determine if there is any advantage to volar plating in this subgroup of patients with distal radius fractures.
The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of dynamic splinting as a therapeutic modality in reducing contracture following surgical treatment of distal radius fractures.
