Filter by:This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial sought to evaluate the efficacy of the iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block on postoperative pain, functional recovery and NLR and PLR levels.
The Baker cyst (BC), also known as the popliteal cyst or parameniscal cyst, is a fluid-filled sac that commonly develops in the posterior aspect of the knee, between the semimembranosus and medial head of the gastrocnemius. It is a common complication of knee osteoarthritis, and can also be associated with other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and meniscal tears. BCs are typically asymptomatic, but can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the back of the knee. In severe cases, they can rupture, leading to inflammation and pain in the calf. Physiotherapy is a common treatment for BCs, and has been shown to be effective in reducing size and symptoms. Intermittent vacuum therapy (IVT) is a type of physiotherapy that involves applying suction to the affected area. IVT is thought to work by increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help to reduce inflammation and swelling. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IVT in the treatment of BCs. A total of 65 patients with knee osteoarthritis and BCs will be recruited and randomized to either a control group or an IVT group. The control group will receive standard physiotherapy treatment, while the IVT group will receive IVT in addition to standard physiotherapy treatment. All patients will be assessed at baseline and after 10 days of treatment using a variety of clinical and functional measures, including the echo volume of the BC. The results of the study will be used to determine whether IVT is an effective treatment for BCs. This study is designed to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the treatment of BCs. The results of the study will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and patients.
Patients with knee osteoarthritis may develop an antalgic gait over time due to pain in the knee, characterized by a decrease in the stance phase and stride length on the painful side. Gait asymmetry, which may lead to different musculoskeletal problems in the future, is observed in the patients. Gait symmetry can be achieved with gait retraining, and effective focus is required during training. In the literature, there are many studies of the positive effects of white noise on focusing, but there are also studies that report that it reduces focusing. Today, exercise training is usually performed in rehabilitation units or on treadmills. As there are important differences between walking on a treadmill and walking outdoors in terms of noise, uneven ground and visual stimuli, the place where walking training is performed does not reflect the outdoor environment. It was aimed to investigate the effect of internal focusing on gait cycle and the effect of white noise and environmental sound on internal focusing in patients with knee osteoarthritis
the aim is to measure the level of adherence of knee osteoartheritis patients to a Carefully curated program that follows the American College of Rheumatology/Arthritis (ACR) recommendation guidelines and investigate the factor that might affect the patient's adherence to the prescribed protocol.
Interventional type of study in which one group of participants will be given mini squats training and other endurance training to improve the quality of life of knee osteoarthritis patients.
Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment. It is also one of the most important data in calculating the MCID sample size. Aim: In the literature, MCID studies for exercise applied to knee OA are limited especially for those who did not undergo surgery. Thus new studies are needed. Method: 100 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited for the study. Participants will be included in an exercise program tailored to their needs for 15 sessions. WOMAC, OKS, LEFS scales will be used also knee range of motion will be assessed in the baseline, after treatments and in the 4th month follow up.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is accepted as treatment of choice for end stage gonarthrosis. It is performed cemented or cementless and although cemented implants were shown to decrease bone density more than cementless fixations there is no evidence-based difference between them in the literature. As far as the investigators are concerned, the effect of cementation on patients' joint perception has never been studied so far.
This study aimed to determine the effects of different manual mobilization techniques on pain, muscle strength, and functional limitations in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (Knee OA). A double-blinded pretest-posttest experimental study. This research employed a two-arm parallel group randomized comparative design. A total of thirty participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned and equally divided into groups 1 and 2, each containing 15 participants. Both Group 1 and Group 2 underwent Maitland and Mulligan mobilization techniques, alongside a common Interferential therapy (IFT) regimen, over the course of three sessions per week for a duration of four weeks. The assessment of pain and functional disability outcomes was conducted through the application of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores at the baseline and four weeks following the intervention. To determine the effects of the intervention within and between the groups, the outcome scores were subjected to analysis using both dependent and independent t-tests.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of exercise and classical massage in the control of knee edema in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the properties that support the functional state of the joints and the safety of the dietary supplement for food ARTNEO®, oral capsules, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the joint functional state-supporting properties of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint; 2. To evaluate the safety of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Participants will be randomly distributed equally among two groups: - Group 1 "ARTNEO" (106 people): patients take the study dietary supplement ARTNEO®, 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months; - Group 2 "Placebo" (106 people): patients take placebo 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months.
