Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the intra-articular and serum levels of vancomycin over the first 24 hours postoperatively after intra-articular administration of a standard dose of vancomycin in primary total knee arthroplasty.
Knee osteoarthritis is a major public health issue because it causes chronic pain, reduces physical function and diminishes quality of life. Aging of the population and increased global prevalence of obesity are anticipated to dramatically increase the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is characterized by complex multifactorial joint pathology and is the most common form of joint disorder in the world. Chronic knee osteoarthritis leads to marked weakening of the quadriceps femoris muscle, which is the extensor and stabilizer of the knee and atrophy of this muscle result knee pain and functional impairment. Quadriceps muscle weakness and atrophy have been reported to contribute to functional impairment and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis and quadriceps strengthening can be achieved through open kinetic chain exercises and close kinetic chain exercises. Close kinetic chain exercises are modeled as, in which a movement in a joint simultaneously produces movements in other joints of the extremity. Open kinetic chain exercises and close kinetic chain exercises form the combined chain exercises. Kinesiotaping with these exercises to improve the patients suffering with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of kinesiotaping as an adjunct to combined chain exercises compared with only kinesiotaping on pain, range of motion and quality of life in the management of individuals with knee osteoarthritis. This study will be randomized control trial. Patients will be recruited into two groups by simple random assignment. Non probability consecutive sampling technique will be used. Data will be collected from patients of grade 2 knee osteoarthritis patients by using NPRS for pain, Goniometer for ROM and SF-36 for quality of life will be used before and immediate after the treatment. Those who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited. Group 1 will be treated with kinesiotaping and combined chain exercises and the Group 2 will be treated with only kinesiotaping on knee OA patients. Total intervention will be given for four weeks for three sessions per week.The subject attended physical therapy and kinesiotaping will assess for pain, range of motion and quality of life at baseline and after 4 week of intervention. After collecting data from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25.
This study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial in a Chinese population
The investigators hypothesized that intraoperative opioid consumption would be different between remimazolam and propofol if the ANI-guided remifentanil continuous infusion rate was adjusted when the depth of anesthesia was maintained at similar depths with remimazolam or propofol under total intravenous anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to compare the intraoperative remifentanil requirement in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty when the intraoperative remifentanil dose adjustment was performed under the ANI guidance while maintaining a similar depth of anesthesia with remimazolam or propofol.
to see the effect of glucosamine chondratin sulfate with and without physiotherapy in knee osteoarthritis
The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has been increasing in recent decades as the number of obese people has increased. Various interventions are used to improve the functional condition of patients, but it is still not clear which one is most effective. The primary aim of this study was to determine and compare the effects of kinesio taping and sham taping on the knee functional mobility.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of anti-gravity treadmill training and traditional treadmill training treatments combined with strengthening exercises on patients' pain levels, quality of life, distal femoral cartilage thickness, and functional capacity in patients with moderate and severe knee OA. In addition, it was aimed to compare the compliance of the patients to aerobic exercise.
To assess minimal clinically important change, cut-offs for treatment failure and patient acceptable symptom state for pain and patient-reported function and quality of life in persons with hip or knee osteoarthritis, participating in digitally delivered first-line education and exercise treatment.
This study perform to investigate the relationship between quadriceps femoris (QF) strength, QF thickness, femoral cartilage thickness, knee function, balance, kinesiophobia and gait of the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Gonarthrosis is a frequent cause of knee pain and mostly related to altered function of the knee. Intra-articular injections are a valuable noninvasive medical treatment of choice for pain management and functional enhancement. This study aims to investigate the effects of intra-articular injections without local anesthesics which are well known to be chondrotoxic. For this purpose, functional data of the patients who received intra-articular injections have been collected and analyzed.
