Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based e-health application (intervention group) compared with standard care (control group) in terms of changes in adherence in patients with knee osteoarthritis using the EARS questionnaire. In addition, other questionnaires presented in the appendix (KOOS, TSK, EPAP, EQ-5D-3L, pain) will be given to all patients in order to meet the secondary evaluation criteria.
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial to to evaluate the individual and health system impacts of implementing a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee pain in Canada.
As an activator of inhibiting nuclear factor kB receptor, denosumab affects osteoclast differentiation and development by inhibiting OPG/RANKL-RANK bone regulatory axis pathway. Therefore, denosumab is widely used in the treatment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is closely related to knee osteoarthritis. RANKL-RANK pathway also plays a key role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, the investigators propose the hypothesis that denosumab can effectively treat knee osteoarthritis.
To date, the anti-gravity treadmill, as a representative method of lower body positive pressure treadmills, has been rarely reported for knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of antigravity treadmill training on pain, gait characteristics, and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using pain, ROM, function, foot arches and knee alignment as subjective measurement through KOOS questionnaire, goniometer, 2D frontal plane projection, Berkemann foot prints using ink and paper ,30s chair stand test, nine step stair climb,40m fast paced walk test,Global rating of change score respectively . One group will be treated with hip abductor strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises and second group will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore
In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.
Objective: The knee joint is one of most common locations in OA. In recent years, it has been accepted that there are different pain phenotypes and patient subgroups in knee OA and that central sensitization (CS) mechanisms are at the forefront in some patients. It is also known that fear of movement, known as kinesiophobia, develops in patients with chronic pain. The aim of this study is to investigate CS and kinesiophobia in patients with knee OA, their relationships with each other, and their effects on pain intensity, functional status, pain catastrophizing and depression. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with knee OA and 42 healthy subjects participated in our study. Demographic data, body mass index, habits, comorbidities, medications of participants and disease duration and radiographic grade of knee OA patients were recorded. VAS was used to assess the severity of pain and WOMAC was used to assess pain and functional status in patients with OA. Algometer (pressure pain threshold measurement) and Central Sensitization Inventory were used to evaluate central sensitization in all participants. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at 3 different points: knee joint, cruris and forearm. The presence of kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale af Kinesiophobia (TSK). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to assess chronic pain related symptoms.
Kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty is an important parameter affecting recovery. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and the factors it may cause is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after total knee arthroplasty.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of adding hip device-assisted concentric abductor strengthening (HDACAS) program to knee device-assisted concentric flexor-extensor strengthening (KDACFES) program on pain, function, physical performance, quality of life and gait parameters in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of autologous alpha-2 macroglobulin rich plasma (A2MRP) injections in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA).
