Filter by:The legitimate need for opioid medications for acute pain management in pediatric trauma patients is recognized, however, the high dose and duration of opioid drugs prescribed by medical providers has been associated with an increased risk of opioid abuse and chronic use by patients. The overarching goal of application is to assess opioid use and outcomes of pediatric patients treated for either burn injuries or knee arthroscopy procedures at a large academic pediatric medical center before and after Ohio opioid prescription rules for acute pain were implemented on August 21, 2017. Also, to evaluate patient use of opioids at 90-days post-treatment.
Evaluating the use of peri-operative blood flow restriction therapy surrounding anterior cruciate ligament tear
This study seeks to determine the prevalence of knee and ankle tendinopathies in youth basketball players, as well as determine the efficacy of a Basketball specific Neuromuscular training warm-up in reducing injuries.
Epidemiology, a word derived from the Greek epi (on) demos (people), is a scientific discipline in the area of medicine that studies the distribution, frequency and determining factors of chemical diseases in defined human populations. It is the method of problem solving research used by epidemiologists, scientists, statisticians, doctors, and other health professionals to get to the root of health problems in a community. Beyond the important role of descriptive epidemiology in generating etiological hypotheses, it also provides a description of the frequency and / or patterns of disease occurrence at the individual or social level. In the field of medicine and physiotherapy, epidemiological studies of musculoskeletal injuries acquire great relevance considering that they are the main cause of disability, increasing their prevalence year after year and carrying high economic and social costs. Worldwide, the Epidemiology of musculoskeletal pathologies has been reported in both the general population and specific populations. Despite the fact that kinesiology has been an established profession in Argentina since the 1940s, there is an evident lack of scientific information on this discipline. Currently, epidemiological reports of published musculoskeletal pathologies are scarce in our country. To our knowledge, the characteristics of the population of patients with musculoskeletal injuries who attend a private sports kinesiology office are not known. A study of these characteristics could help to better understand this population, improving routine clinical practice, as well as providing a database for the development of future scientific studies. For this reason, the main objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of the patients who come to an external kinesiology office at a private institution in Argentina. The secondary objective is to evaluate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and the affected body regions.
Knee pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in the United States. Conservative treatments generally consist of pharmacological agents and physical therapy. Unfortunately, such conservative care is often mismanaged, and little data is collected on clinical outcomes. The proposed investigation utilizes a novel and state-of-the-art mobile application (DETP) to guide an at-home exercise therapy program for non-operative knee pain. The purpose of this study is conducting a single-blind randomized, controlled, superiority study to compare the DETP to conventional physical therapy (PT). The investigators will seek to determine improvement in pain and function in PROMIS measures as the primary outcome. The investigators will also evaluate satisfaction with the application as a secondary outcome.
Approximately 120 patients who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis but have not previously operated due to this disease and who are in Kellgren Lawrence stage 2 and 3 will be compared with the KOOS scale and Short Form-36 (Short Form-36: SF-36) scales to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of KOOS-12.
In football, knee is the joint that suffers the most severe injuries. Sometimes, this is produced by poor pre-activation of the musculature that is responsible for knee stability and central stability. OBJETIVE: Study the efficacy of specific gluteus medius and core activation protocol in knee stability in youth football players.
The investigators propose to prospectively evaluate the accuracy of a novel 7-Tesla (7T) knee MRI protocol for the detection and grading of cartilage lesions in the knee, which is a significant limitation of current MRI techniques.
In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been implanted with a Total Joint Orthopedics Klassic knee system by Dr. Aaron Hofmann of the Hofmann Arthritis Institute's Center for Precision Joint Replacement. This is the location from which all participants will be recruited and where fluoroscopy data collection will occur. Participants will undergo fluoroscopic surveillance of their implanted knee using a C-arm fluoroscopic unit while performing a deep knee bend activity at least six months post-operatively.
The investigator's hypothesis was that intra-articular knee injection with PRP in patients underwent arthroscopic meniscal repair and didn't receive intra-surgical PRP, may add beneficial effect on post-meniscal repair outcomes regarding pain, functional state of the operated knee as well as healing process.
