Filter by:Amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells developed for chondrogenic treatment (AFCC) are used to treat elderly patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA). The injection reduces inflammation and promotes the recovery of knee function, leading to an improved quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how topical diclofenac use can improve functional mobility and physical activity primarily, as well as other quality-of-life (QoL) parameters such as sleep, mood, and engagement in daily activities in participants with knee OA.
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized control trial] is to [ see the effects of Combined Mode Kinetic Chain Exercises along with or without core stability exercises on pain, range of motion and disability ] in [ in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis].The main question it aims to answer is: Wether core stability exercises is effective if performed along with Combined chain kinetic exercises to improves the condition of Knee Osteoarthritis? Group A will receive Core Stability Exercises along with Combined Chain Kinetic Exercises and Group B will receive combined Chain Kinetic Exercises.
The study project aims at examining molecular markers in synovial fluid, bone and articular cartilage from osteoarthritic thumb basal joints. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in thumb basal joints will be evaluated in association to the metabolic profile of the patient, but we also aim to compare the ECM degradation and inflammatory profiles with articular cartilage degradation ECM profile from knee joints with osteoarthritis. A third aim is to evaluate associations between patient-reported hand function, pain, strength and range of thumb motion to analyses of synovial fluid.
To compare metformin (2 g daily), or maximum tolerated dose, for 16 weeks with placebo as a treatment of hand osteoarthritis symptoms.
Preoperative fitness is known to predict postoperative outcomes following lower limb arthroplasty, but many patients, especially the most fragile, arrive at surgery with reduced mobility and functional capacity. Prehabilitation (Prehab) encompasses a series of interventions that are intended to help patients improve their physical state and psychological well-being pre-intervention to reduce the days of hospitalization and the number of post-operative complications. Patients who participate in Prehab require less postoperative care and consequently have less impact on the cost of the healthcare system. However, adherence to a face-to-face program is usually poor and presents both organizational and psychophysical barriers. In the last years, telerehabilitation has proven to be a viable alternative to face-to-face treatment and has already been adopted for the Prehab. Electrostimulation (ESM) is regularly used successfully in clinical settings for the recovery of muscle tone in patients with orthopedic pathologies. In addition, it has already been used for Prehab, showing an increase in muscle strength and a decrease in postoperative hospital stay following knee arthroplasty. Also Exercise offers benefits in the treatment of orthopedic patients because improve: strength, cardiovascular fitness, functional capacities and quality of life. Therefore, in a group of patients who are candidates for elective lower limb arthroplasty surgery, it was decided to evaluate the effects of a Tele Prehab program, based on the ESM, and compare them with those of an Tele Prehab exercise program, equal in dose and duration. The proposal differs from those present in the literature for complete administration in telerehabilitation, including evaluations.
THis study is aimed to provide a clinical and radiographic evaluation of 49 suitable subjects who underwent a total hip arthroplasty with DELTA Revision acetabular cup.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based e-health application (intervention group) compared with standard care (control group) in terms of changes in adherence in patients with knee osteoarthritis using the EARS questionnaire. In addition, other questionnaires presented in the appendix (KOOS, TSK, EPAP, EQ-5D-3L, pain) will be given to all patients in order to meet the secondary evaluation criteria.
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial to to evaluate the individual and health system impacts of implementing a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee pain in Canada.
As an activator of inhibiting nuclear factor kB receptor, denosumab affects osteoclast differentiation and development by inhibiting OPG/RANKL-RANK bone regulatory axis pathway. Therefore, denosumab is widely used in the treatment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is closely related to knee osteoarthritis. RANKL-RANK pathway also plays a key role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, the investigators propose the hypothesis that denosumab can effectively treat knee osteoarthritis.
