Filter by:This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the 12-week ergonomic intervention developed by Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model in improving musculoskeletal discomfort and muscle strength for hemodialysis nurses. The maintenance effects of the intervention were also evaluated after another 12-week follow-up.
This study will investigate whether 3D printing of orthoses (night splints and AFO/KAFO for walking, further named as dynamic AFO/KAFO) for the lower limbs can help to improve the limited accessibility to orthopaedic devices in developing countries. The 3D printed orthoses will be assessed for effectiveness, cost and feasibility. Measurement and manufacture of the orthoses is also supported remotely via video conferencing.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of using double gloves on perforation in orthopedic surgery. Materials and Method: The randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between 30.11.2021 and 31.03.2022 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology operating room of a university hospital in western Turkey. The gloves used in the surgery were randomly divided into two groups (intervention: double glove group = 780 gloves, control: single glove group = 390). The presence of holes was checked by performing a water tightness test with the EN455-1 method on all gloves collected after the surgery by the researcher. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, Chi-square Test, Fisher Exact Test, and linear model regression analysis (GLM for the Binomial Family Regression). Statistical significance was accepted as 0.05.
To determine the effect of postural correction exercise in universities students regarding cervical sagittal posture, head flexion angle in forward head posture.
The Q angle, also known as the quadriceps angle, is defined as the angle formed between the quadriceps muscles and the patella tendon. It was first described by Brattstrom in 1964 (1). The Q angle is the angle between the line extending from the anterior superior of the spina iliaca to the midpoint of the patella and the line extending from the midpoint of the patella to the tuberositas tibia (2). Normally, this angle is between 8-14 degrees in men and 11-20 degrees in women. Any alignment change that increases the Q angle is thought to increase the lateral force on the patella. The Q angle is generally evaluated in static postures in the literature. The Q angle value varies according to the patient's gender, the contractility of the quadriceps, and the patient's posture (standing or supine) (3). Q angle was evaluated in a static posture with a standard goniometer or computerized biophotogrammetry (4) Q angle changes with the forces applied by dynamic structures. It is insufficient to evaluate only in a static posture. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of dynamic structures on the Q angle using 2D gait analysis (video) and to detect the early signs of deviation of changes in the q angle.
The 3 non-pharmacological methods of online gaming, cold application, and placebo were chosen to reduce postoperative pain in children undergoing orthopedic and traumatology surgery. The effect of these 3 non-pharmacological methods on pain reduction was measured and compared.
Over the last months, the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute in Bologna, Italy, has drained orthopedic urgencies from all other hospitals in the urban and suburban area. In this context urgencies are defined as fractures and primary or metastatic bone lesions with indication to non-deferrable surgery. A subset of these patients tested positive for SARS CoV 2, either before or after the surgical procedure. Anesthesiological clinical management of covid19 cases is complicated by the consequences of the viral infection on respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, renal function and coagulation. Similarly, management of asymptomatic patients is challenging because of the lack of data on possible specific complications. This study will report a snapshot of our early experience on perioperative clinical management of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in the presence of SARS CoV 2 infection, ascertained or not at the time of surgery.
NB. This study has been previously registered with the National Trial Registry (NTR6266) that has been cancelled. The registered trial has been automatically transferred to a new "Landelijk Trial Register", which does not contain all correct information on the current study and where no corrections can be made. Hence, the current study has been registered again with ClinicalTrials.gov. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effectiveness of an online self-management intervention in adult patients with hand osteoarthritis and to explore the possibilities to implement the intervention in clinical practice after the study period. An RCT will be performed, in which 70 participants will be randomized to either care-as-usual (hand osteoarthritis care path, including consultation with the rheumatologist and a 1,5-hour consultation with a clinical nurse or occupational therapist, n=35) or care-as-usual plus the online self-management intervention (n=35). The primary effect constitutes of the difference in change in pain coping between patients in the intervention and control condition from baseline to post-intervention. As secondary outcomes, a number of other psychological and physical outcome measures will be assessed (e.g., health-related quality of life, well-being, pain impact on daily life, pain cognitions). Also, cost-effectiveness of the intervention will be measured, by assessing productivity loss and health care use of participants (using iPCQ and iMCQ).
The study aims to determine whether CMC I arthroplasty using a Touch® implant results in higher patient satisfaction compared to RSI arthroplasty in the medium-term in patients with primary thumb osteoarthritis. Additionally, the study compares the patients' clinical and self-reported outcomes between the Touch® implant and the RSI arthroplasty. Therefore, patients with a Touch® implant in one thumb and an RSI arthroplasty in the other thumb will be recruited.
The current study aims to comparison the body awareness and musculoskeletal problems of 1st dentistry students, intern students and working dentists and also investigate the factors affecting the body awareness over the years in dentistry profession.
