Filter by:The present study is a prospective cohort study. This study will be conducted to determine the change in miRNA levels with exercise in knee Osteoarthritis (OA) patients. The main questions that the study aims to answer are: Question 1: Does exercise therapy affect microrna expressions in patients with knee osteoarthritis? Question 2: Does exercise therapy affect quality of life, pain, functional status and depression level in patients with knee osteoarthritis? Participants; demographic information such as age, height, weight will be questioned. Exercises will performed twice a week under supervision and once a week as home program for eight weeks. Before and after exercise treatment, peripheral venous blood samples will taken from both groups. miRNA-146a, miRNA-155, miRNA-221-3p and miRNA-145 gene expressions will studied with the real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method. miRNA-146a, miRNA-155, and miRNA-221-3p, miRNA-145 gene expressions will studied with the Real-time PCR method. The pain will evaluated with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), functional status with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), depression level with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and quality of life with Short Form-36 (SF-36).
to find out the Effectiveness Of Mobilization With Movement And Kinesotaping In The Female Patients Of Knee Osteoarthritis To Improve Pain And Functional Mobility
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) surgical procedure can lead to clinically significant improvements in the cartilage and in subchondral bone quality, with a slow down of the osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Aim of the project is to: (i) clinically validate a 3D planned HTO surgical approach, through a quantitative grading of OA progression in a prospective randomized case-control clinical trial; (ii) correlate the internal knee loads with the changes assessed in cartilage and subchondral bone status to verify the hypothesis that HTO induced mechanical changes are associated with clinically significant OA improvements; (iii) relate imaging data with cartilage and subchondral bone mechanical properties, in order to classify OA progression in a more sensitive manner and allow a more precise diagnosis of the pathology stage.
Exercise is considered the most effective, non-drug treatment for reducing pain and improving movement in patients with osteoarthritis. Diminished muscle strength is a common symptom associated with the onset of knee osteoarthritis. The evidence supports the benefit of exercise therapy, in reducing pain and improving function in subjects with knee OA, however research to date has been unable to quantify the disease-modifying effect of any form of exercise. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate how the use of a seated compact elliptical machine (Cubii JR1) exercise program in conjunction with a standard physical therapy regimen will impact the health of individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of adding strengthening exercise for hip rotators and ankle muscles to knee exercises on pain, function, muscles strength , and knee proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main question it aims to answer is: - What is the effect of adding strengthening exercise for hip rotators and ankle muscles to knee exercises on pain, function, strength of hip rotators and ankle muscles, and knee proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis?" Adult male and female diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis, referred from orthopedic surgeons according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study, randomly allocated to groups and received exercise for 4 weeks. - Control group Patients in this group will receive knee exercises in the form of stretching for hamstring and calf. Strengthening exercises in form of strengthening exercise for quadriceps. - Experimental group In addition to the same knee exercise of control group patients will receive strengthening exercise for hip rotators and ankle muscles.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, which can affect all joints in the body and includes synovial inflammation, cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation and bone remodeling in its pathophysiology. Many approaches are used in its treatment, and the effectiveness of exercise in conservative treatment has been proven. Many exercise methods such as strengthening, balance, aquatherapy are applied, but there is no definite consensus on exercise prescribing.Programs that focus on restoring balance and proprioception are called "sensorimotor or neuromuscular trainings". Previous studies have shown that neuromuscular exercises reduce pain, improve function, improve balance, and cause positive biomechanical changes in knee osteoarthritis and meniscus injuries. Progressive Motor Imagery (AMI) is an approach in rehabilitation where the focus is on progressive brain exercise. It is an education that approaches patients with pain, activity limitation and functional loss with a holistic view within the framework of the biopsychosocial model. The aim of this study; to examine the effects of two current treatment programs (AMI, SM training) on symptoms, functionality, balance and proprioception parameters in osteoarthritis rehabilitation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on early markers of FastOA and conduct 6-week and 6-month follow-up assessments in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed patients.
Adult patients with fibromyalgia or symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and comorbid obesity eligible to a very low calories ketogenic diet will be enrolled in the pilot study
The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of elastic bandaging, Kinesio taping, and short stretch bandaging techniques on postoperative pain, edema, and functional level in the early stage after total knee arthroplasty.
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of pain management education in individuals with knee osteoarthritis with chronic pain.
