Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if the study team can use micro-Doppler signal (MDS) technology to determine if someone has had an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The investigators will do this by comparing the movement data from a group of people who have had the surgery with a group who has not had the surgery to see if the micro-Doppler radar technology can accurately and predictably tell the difference.
A randomized control trial will be conducted, for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of a lower back assistive exoskeleton on the caregivers working in nursing homes.
Background: Lower back injuries are a common occurrence in athletes, sports programs, and in the military (Bengtsson, 2018; Lovalekar, 2021). The Army's new fitness test includes a three-repetition maximum deadlift, and this inclusion has raised concern amongst servicemembers and healthcare workers due to the association between deadlifts and lower back injuries. There is debate amongst researchers about the role of deadlift form in lower back injury prevention, specifically related to flexion of the spine (Sjoberg, 2020). Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low back pain education (either cautionary regarding injury risk or reassuring regarding spine resiliency) on deadlift performance (weight lifted), and if this education has an effect on self-efficacy and perceived spine vulnerability. Participants: Participants will be incoming new cadets at the United States Military Academy (USMA). Inclusion criteria are cadets age 17-26 (cadets under the age of 18 are legally emancipated therefore able to consent), those participating in the ACFT, and speak and understand English. Study Design: This study will be a randomized controlled trial with parallel design and 1:1 allocation ratio. The investigators plan to use cluster randomization. There will be three groups- control, cautionary, reassuring (Jackson, 2005). The investigators are also planning a prospective cohort study to assess self-efficacy, injury, and performance over time. Procedures: Data will be collected at the United States Military Academy during the summer of 2022 during cadet basic training. Shortly after new cadets arrive at USMA, the investigators will gather demographic and initial self-efficacy information. The randomized control element of this study will occur before and during the maximum deadlift (MDL) of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). At the start of cadet basic training, investigators will randomly allocate each company of cadets into one of three groups (three companies per group.) The investigator will administer the education (cautionary, reassuring, or control) shortly prior to cadets taking the MDL, and will collect results after the ACFT. The cautionary education is similar to standard information provided to many servicemembers before the start of an ACFT or a maximum deadlift.
Pregnancy is the main occasion of every woman's life in which numerous episodes of physiological and anatomical adjustments takes place within woman's body to become a mother. Anatomical changes often leads to poor biomechanics and may cause mechanical dysfunction of spine especially lower back.. Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) goes through most of mobility during the period of pregnancy due to hormone release causes ligamentous laxity that can cause SIJD.
Currently, injured workers are required to visit a clinic, in-person, for functional testing as part of the rehabilitation and return-to-work process. The need for in-person testing has always caused problems for workers in remote areas without easy access to clinics. COVID-19 has made the problem of access to in-person clinical testing worse. Now, many injured workers can't receive functional testing due to COVID-19 related clinic closures and isolation restrictions. The investigators aim to develop and evaluate a functional testing protocol that can be delivered remotely to solve the problem of access to in-person clinic testing. A functional test that can be completed remotely, while the client remains in their home will increase access to timely testing, improve client satisfaction by removing the need for costly and time consuming travel, and will continue to help injured workers quickly recover and return to meaningful work. This research study will help to determine if return-to-work outcomes improve, or remain unchanged, when functional testing is completed remotely relative to in the clinic.
Online survey measuring pre-post stigma and intentions to seek care for musculoskeletal injuries using peer and authority-delivered health promotion videos.
The aim of this research is to find out the factors associated with musculoskeletal injuries among office workers and also determine whether Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can predict musculoskeletal injuries or not? Prospective Cohort study will be done at the offices of Rawalpindi. The sample size is 208. Study duration will be of 6 months. Non probability Purposive Sampling will be used. Tools used in the study are FMS, Fat Caliper, Weighing machine & Inches tape. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 23.
Traumatic physical injuries result in significant disability and a high proportion of survivors suffer from chronic pain and mental health disorders. A key predictor of good outcomes following trauma is "coping self-efficacy" - a person's belief that they can cope with life's challenges. Interventions that enhance coping self-efficacy post-injury are most likely to optimize recovery. However, these interventions are not standard approaches in rehabilitation settings.Our inter-disciplinary team will undertake a trial to assess the efficacy of supportive-expressive group therapy in rehabilitation inpatients who have had traumatic injuries. We wish to test whether persons who undergo the group therapy have significant improvements in coping self-efficacy compared to those receiving standard care. Sixty patients with traumatic injuries admitted to St. John's Rehab will be randomized to either supportive-expressive group therapy (n=30) or to standard rehabilitation (n=30). Additionally, up to 12 staff participants will be recruited.The goal of this project is to establish a gold standard for inpatient rehabilitation in the trauma NMSK injured population by widening the access to emotional wellbeing supports, which could translate into better physical, mental and social health in the community.
Basketball is an impact, coordination-opposition sport with continuous contact among players and it is considered a sport of medium-high injury incidence. Players are force to have a physical condition appropriate to their practice and the demand to which they must respond due to the intensity of the efforts this sport requires. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to establish an evaluation protocol that allows the detection of functional deficiencies, to guide and conduct in a specific and early way every moment of players' health and growth. The purpose of this study is to design, apply and analyze the effectiveness of a specific and individualized therapeutic exercise program (Basketball Pre-injury Attack) based on the approach of the functional deficiencies detected by the Basketball Injury Defense, to reduce the susceptibility to injury of youth basketball players (U14 - U17).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.
