Filter by:The sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) which has a widely heterogeneous etiology, may cause impairment of stability, mobility, posture and flexibility as well as pain due to adaptive or pathological biomechanical changes. In 2020, the number of patients with low back pain (LBP) worldwide was more than half a billion and is expected to exceed 800 million by 2050. Although SIJD has been shown to be related with LBP in more than 30% of patients with LBP, SIJD is still often overlooked as a cause of LBP. Once the diagnosis of SIJD is confirmed by physical examination, the first treatment option consists of the use of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or physiotherapy approaches. The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a neurophysiological model-based multifaceted exercise method which is widely used in rehabilitation practice. However, despite the major role of SIJD among the causes of LBP, there are limited studies investigating the efficacy of PNF in SIJD and its effectiveness remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic PNF techniques on pain, mobility, flexibility, lumbar range of motion, posture, and trunk muscle endurance in patients with SIJD.
The aim of the present study was to assess the treatment outcomes in patients affected by M-TMDs in terms of pain scores assessed with pressure pain threshold (PPT). The levels of de-pression, anxiety and the Oral-Health Impact profile were also assessed and compared to healthy controls. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of M-TMDs and a control group of healthy subjects were enrolled. At baseline, OHIP-14, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were administered. PPT was registered at the level of masseter and temporalis muscles. The patients were then treated with oral splints and physio-kinesiotherapy following a standardized treatment protocol. At 6-months follow-up, PPT was registered, and the questionnaires were re-administered to compare treatment outcomes.
This clinical study aims at evaluating clinical, radiographic, patient-reported outcomes of total knee arthroplasty with Physica TT Tibial Plate in combination with Physica Porous KR or Physica Porous PS up to 2 years after surgery, in order to assess the performance of the devices. Furthermore, ithe objective is to collect short-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of early complications.
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of NSS2-Bridge in postoperative pain management in comparison to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA).
This randomised controlled study was conducted to investigate the comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises on individuals with hemophilic arthropathy in the lower extremity. There are two groups in the study: home exercises and comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises. Is physiotherapy combined with home exercises superior to home exercises on joint health, bleeding frequency, reaction time, dynamic balance, muscle strength? The aim of this study is to increase the compliance of hemophilic individuals to physiotherapy and adapt home exercises to their lives with weekly sessions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study about the clinical effect of Intra-articular Injection on Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Intra-articular Injection help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Participants will be randomly assigned into the experimental group and the control group, all under comprehensive treatment. The experimental group will be given Intra-articular Injection additionally, The study lasts 15 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the assessments between the two groups to see if Intra-articular Injection can help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 72 participants who had moderate knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence grade 2-3). The patients were randomly assigned to either the robotic-assisted or gyroscopic-assisted group. Baseline characteristics, including age, body mass index, length of stay, and estimated blood loss, were recorded. The primary outcome measure was the accuracy of the hip knee angle, measured by scannogram film preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included functional outcomes (KOOS, Oxford knee score, EQ-5D-5L, range of motion) assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months, as well as at 6 months postoperatively.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 18-month Baduanjin exercise on shoulder joint function in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 60 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.
Early diagnosis is a key factor in the prevention and management of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are classically diagnosed based on criteria combining clinical, biological and radiological features. However, in up to 20% of the cases, diagnoses remain unstated and underlying rheumatic diseases unclassified, which might lead to delayed specific treatment and unfavourable clinical outcomes. In addition, conventional methods could lack sensitivity and specificity for early diagnosis. Biological samples are attractive targets for the early detection of articular damage because they allow for collection of multiple levels of information from the clinic and the laboratory]. Biological samples most frequently collected from patients with rheumatic diseases are synovial fluid by joint aspiration, blood by venous puncture and tissue specimen by surgery. The investigators hypothesize that in challenging situations, novel biomarkers detected from synovial fluid or articular tissues using both conventional (e.g. histology, immunodetection, PCR) and innovative (e.g. Raman spectroscopy, nanospectroscopy) laboratory tests may help refining diagnosis and better classifying patients with rheumatic diseases.
