Filter by:The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of rTMS applications at different current frequencies (low frequency / intermittent (intermittent) theta burst (iTBS)) in stroke patients on lower extremity motor development, physical function and quality of life, and to compare the effectiveness of these modalities.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries of the knee are common in youth soccer players, and show an even higher prevalence in female soccer players. Clinical practice guidelines recommend ACL injury prevention programs (ACL-IPP) to reduce injury risk, yet implementation in amateur youth soccer is low, reducing actual real-world effectiveness. This trial is a pragmatic effectiveness trial for ACL injury prevention for amateur youth soccer players, using a knowledge translation intervention with the Knowledge-to-Action Framework.
This study aimed to examine trunk and lower extremity biomechanics among children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). It was targeted to pioneer including biomechanical changes into treatment if detected in the trunk and lower extremities of children. Voluntary participants meeting inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the LUTD group (n=43) and the healthy group (n=43). No treatment was applied to participants and the same evaluation methods were used in both groups. Trunk muscle strength, muscle endurance, posture, flexibility, and pelvic floor muscle activity of participants was evaluated with stabilizer pressurized biofeedback unit, sit-ups and modified push-ups test; trunk flexors endurance test and Modified Biering Sorensen Test; Posture Screen Mobile And Foot Posture Index; sit-reach-test and Beighton Score; and NeuroTrac-Myoplus4Pro, respectively. In addition, the quality of life of participants was evaluated with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
The objective of this study is to collect baseline data from a normative population of adolescents who participate in organized "land-based" sports, that gender and age matches some of the population of patients expected to be treated at Mary Bridge Children's Therapy Services, MultiCare affiliated therapy centers, and Mary Bridge Specialty Clinics who will be seen in the Research and Movement Lab. This project will recruit 40 patients between the ages of 13-25 years old. Non-invasive measurements of movement patterns will be collected during common sport-related activities over a single data collection session.
Based on the development of new tools, including drug coated balloon, paclitaxel eluting stent, interwoven stents, debulking tools, More and more acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity included stage IIb were treated with endovascular procedures. Most guidelines suggests only stage I and stage IIa lesions are suitable for endovascular treatments. Therefore, a well-designed real-world study that track the safety and clinical relevant outcomes, are required to determine the optimal therapies for patients with acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity.
This study will be the first project to evaluate the effectiveness of wearable technology (Garmin Forerunner35) while performing gait retraining in field on military members. The watch will provide real time feedback to the runner on their step rate while performing running sessions outside of the lab. This allows the runner to modify their step rate to meet a recommended step rate provided by the study team member. Aim 1: To demonstrate the utility of wearable sensors to modify running step rate through real time biofeedback. Aim 2: To determine whether altering step rate using real time biofeedback reduces lower extremity musculoskeletal injury reoccurrence within 1 year post training.
This project aims to develop an interactive floor that will perceive the pressure, give the user visual (light) and auditory (signal) feedback, use a monitor that will guide the user with visual reporting, develop a software that enables the integration of the floor with the monitor, adjusts the degree of difficulty of education, records training, and objectively grades balance development, investigate the clinical effectiveness of the balance and coordination education system, in which hardware and software coexist, verify the validity and reliability of the developed system by evaluating its validity and reliability with proven tests.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of IV Ibuprofen versus IV Acetaminophen in the reduction of pain following orthopedic low extremity procedures
This study aims to assess differences in choice of treatment (and the rationale behind it), physical function, pain intensity, satisfaction, and decision regret between orthopedic patients who review a decision aid during their visit and those that do not. Decision aids for 23 different conditions are included.
Individuals living with Transfemoral Amputation, enrolled equally at the Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System (VANYHHS) and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), will be fit with a powered ankle-foot prosthesis. All subjects will undergo a full gait analysis, functional measures, neurocognitive/cognitive, and pain assessment at baseline utilizing their current passive prosthesis. Subjects will then be randomly assigned into 2 equal groups: Powered device with an 8-session intensive, device-specific PT intervention (Group A); or powered device with current standard of practice (Group B), with includes basic device education, but no PT intervention. Subjects in Group A will undergo a 4-week PT-based intervention, which will isolate the contribution of device specific effects from rehabilitation effects. Group B will receive the current standard of practice, which does not include any formal rehabilitation. All users will undergo a full gait analysis, functional measures, neurocognitive/cognitive, and pain assessment after 4- and 8-weeks of use.
