This study will investigate whether the recovery of muscle function of total knee arthroplasty is accelerated with the use of the gekoTM device along with its effect on reducing symptoms such as oedema and inhibition of the muscle function.
The French Society of Rheumatology cannot rule on the value of intra-articular injections of PRP due to the lack of hindsight and insufficient data. In fact, the injection protocols are very heterogeneous in terms of preparation method, the presence or not of leukocytes, the number of centrifugations, the volume injected, the ultrasound guidance, which makes it difficult to analyze the literature. The investigator objective is therefore to evaluate the effectiveness of combined injections of PRP and hyaluronic acid.
This study compares and evaluates differences in patient-reported outcome, survivorship and radiological analysis between patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with use of either Zimmer Biomet PERSONA Posterior Stabilized (PS) system and Smith&Nephew Journey II Bi-Cruciate Stabilized (BCS) system
This is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, randomized, controlled post-market study to evaluate and compare the clinical accuracy of component placement in robotic-assisted UKA and that of traditional methods.
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, functional status and self efficacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether recruitment rates are adequate to power a future RCT. The secondary aims are to obtain preliminary information about safety and efficacy of topical diphenhydramine 5% ointment in patients with knee OA.
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common and disabling conditions among Veterans. Management of KOA is challenging as there are few effective treatments other than joint replacement. Importantly, low levels of physical activity in patients with knee problems might worsen pain and disability. This study aims to determine the feasibility of using methods to change behavior that use social incentives and promote physical activity through playing games and interacting with a web-based platform. The study will also evaluate an important and widely used treatment, namely corticosteroid injections. Participants will be randomized into one of 4 arms and will receive a different combination of social incentives and injections. The study will evaluate which approach is most effective at promoting physical activity and reducing pain and disability.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a chronic disease characterized by pain, reduced range of motion, instability and effusion in the joint. Moreover, no study has investigated the effect of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) in comparison with that of a placebo injection in the same patient with bilateral knee OA. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of supervised physiotherapy and home exercises after PRP injection in patients with knee OA. The investigator hypothesized that the supervised physiotherapy program would be more effective in decreasing pain and improving muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life than home exercises following PRP injection in patients with knee OA. A total of 30 patients with complete follow-up to 6 weeks post-intervention; 17 patients randomized to the supervised exercise group and 13 patients randomized to the home exercise group. Subjects were recruited from who had radiographic evidence (Kellgren-Lawrence Grade II-III) of knee OA and ranged from 45 to 70 years of age. Measurements including pain during rest and activity, muscle strength assessment, self-estimated functions of the affected knee and functional performance tests for lower extremity strength were performed.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of "hiking poles exercise" on lower extremity muscular strength, knee range of motion, and quality of life in elderly patients underwent total knee arthroplasty
