Filter by:Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SJD) is a common problem in individuals with lumbar herniation nucleus pulposus (LHNP) plus back pain. It is important to determine the effects of SJD on the gait characteristics in individuals with LHNP.Twelve individuals with LHNP (control group) and six individuals with LHNP plus SJD (study group) will be the participants of the study. Gait characteristics of participants will be evaluate with treadmill. Participants will walk at their self-selected speed for six minutes and data from 2nd minutes to 4th minutes were selected for statistical analyses. Gait speed, cadance, step lengths, time on each foot and step length variabilities will be recorded.
The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD): Dry needling and spinal manipulation or Interocclusal Appliance (Splint), NSAIDs and Temporomandibular Joint Mobilization . Clinicians commonly use all of these techniques to treat TMD. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other.
This is a single center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The primary objective of this study is to measure migration over two years with RSA. Patients will be randomized in two arms, receiving a Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal or a Taperloc Complete Microplasty hip stem.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled clinical outcome study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate improvement of pain score at one year for the Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder. The secondary objective is collection of long term clinical outcomes.
Self-management is a key component of successful chronic disease management and patients can benefit from learning about how daily activities and treatments relate to their symptoms and health status on an ongoing basis. The primary goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of an e-health intervention, OPERAS, which includes two components: 1) the use of a newly developed web app to self-monitor symptoms/disease activity and treatment use, and help patients identify when a medical visit or treatment change is needed; 2) remote activity counselling provided by a physiotherapist, with the use of a wearable device (Fitbit) and the app to provide activity level feedback. The app component of OPERAS is hosted by the secure network of Arthritis Research Canada.
The study is a prospective, randomized comparison of total knee arthroplasty with the Medacta GMK Sphere® knee compared to the Medacta GMK PS knee, with comparison to data from previous trials of similar study design.
This study is designed to estimate the effect of an application on rehabilitation for osteoarthritis patients after total knee arthroplasty.
This retrospective study aims to improve the diagnosis of PJI as well as to identify microorganisms causing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and the drug-resistant spectrum
Previous retrospective database studies suggest that total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery under spinal anesthesia has less complications than when performed under general anesthesia. In general, complications are rare and both anesthesia types are widely accepted. In Finland, total knee arthroplasty has typically been performed under spinal anesthesia. In a recent prospective randomized controlled study, total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia resulted in less acute postoperative pain (opioid-need measured by patient-controlled anesthesia), less nausea, and faster hospital discharge than that performed under spinal anesthesia. Also the use of surgical tourniquet can affect surgical outcome: it may reduce bleeding and surgery time, but it may also cause weakness of thigh muscles and thus hinder mobilization. In a recent study, both techniques with and without surgical tourniquet appeared equal. The aims of this study are to compare total knee arthroplasty under spinal or general anesthesia, with or without surgical tourniquet, in relation to acute and chronic postoperative pain, nausea, knee function, patient reported quality of life and satisfaction on care, complications, length of stay, and need of surgical unit resources. This randomized controlled study includes 400 patients with informed consent, 18-75-years-of-age, standard primary total knee arthroplasty operation, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification I-III, body mass index under 40, and no contraindications for medications or treatments used. The hypothesis of this study are used to reassess best practices of primary total knee arthroplasty operation to enhance quality of care, patient outcomes and satisfaction, and availability of surgery due to better patient flow at surgical unit.
