Knee injuries, especially those to the ACL, are common among physically active people. These injuries are frequently treated with surgical reconstruction (ACL reconstruction; ACLR). While ACLR restores stability it does not protect against future injury, long-term pain, disability, and arthritis associated with these injuries. Our study is going to examine new ways to provide feedback about the way people move to determine if these are better at modifying movement patterns that are known risk factors of posttraumatic osteoarthritis development than current standard treatments. If you participate, you will be asked to undergo a movement analysis in a research laboratory while you perform tasks such as walking and hopping. After this initial assessment, you will be randomly allocated to one of 2 treatment groups. Each treatment group will perform 4 weeks (3x/week) of exercises to change the way people walk. Participants will then report for follow-up movement analysis testing 1- and 4-weeks after completing the intervention.
Degenerative knee arthritis is the most common chronic arthritis disease. Once the elderly suffer from this disease, it will accelerate the loss of body function and autonomy. strength performances and maintain are the most important functional performances of lower extremities, especially in walking and balance in daily activities for elderly people with osteoarthritis(OA) of the knee. However, combining the exercise and visual feedback may promote the muscle strength and functional performances of lower limbs, facilitating the muscle strength, motor and boady functional performances for elderly adults after OA knee. Therefore, the purpose of this proposal is to investigate the changes in muscle strength and physical fitness of lower limbs in older adults following OA knee after visual feedback non-weight bearing exercise intervention.
This is a randomized controlled trial examining and compare the effects of open and closed kinetic chain exercises on pain, function, and cartilage synthesis and degradation biomarkers after an eight-week rehabilitation program for knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
Perioperative joint infection (PJI) is a rare but serious postoperative complication from total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and it is known to cause significant morbidities to the patients suffering from it. Literatures have found evidence that there is correlation between patients' perioperative blood glucose level and their risks of developing PJI postoperatively. By monitoring patients' perioperative blood glucose level, clinicians may be able to better identify patients who are at risks of developing PJI. Continuous blood glucose level monitoring, where patients carry a blood glucose monitoring device, has been a novel intervention in various medical specialties for recording and monitoring patients' blood glucose levels. However, currently there has only limited studies using this intervention for perioperative blood glucose monitoring in patients who are receiving total knee arthroplasty. Intravenous dexamethasone is a widely used treatment for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty as it has been shown in previous studies that it can provide good analgesic effect and also reduce patients' nauesea symptoms preoperatively. However, hyperglycaemia is also a known side effects from dexamethasone. There still has not been ample amount of investigation on how significant this potential effect is and at what period of time perioperatively that this side effect occurs. This study is designed to investigate how intravenous dexamethasone can potentially affect the perioperative blood glucose levels in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. And by using a continuous glucose monitoring machine we are also aiming to find out the variability of the perioperative blood glucose profiles of these patients in order to design a better glucose monitoring schedule.
The aim of the study is to compare the 6 months clinical outcome of the treatment with a single injection of Homologous PRP versus single injection of placebo (saline solution) in the infiltrative treatment of knee osteoarthritis in over 65 years old patients. The evaluation will be performed through clinical, subjective and objective assessments.
Group A: Patients suffering from midfoot arthritis after failed prior conservative therapy who undergo a reverse distal metatarsal minimal-invasive osteotomy Group B: Patients suffering from midfoot arthritis after failed prior conservative therapy who undergo a fusion of one or more midfoot (tarsometatarsal) joints
The clinical study with UMC119-06-05 is designed to investigate the safety in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This will be a dose escalation, open label, single-center study in adult with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. UMC119-06-05 is ex vivo cultured human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells product which is intended for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Diseases that have implications for the thumb impact its function, and consequently, people occupational performance. Carpometacarpal joint (CMC) thumb degeneration translates into osteoarthritis (OA). Joint congruence, ligament integrity and compression of the joint surfaces caused by muscle contraction have historically been considered the three basic pillars for carpus stability. In recent years, a new factor has been proposed to explain carpal stabilization mechanisms: proprioception. The dorsal ligament complex is the structure with the highest concentration of mechanoreceptors, especially Ruffini's corpuscles. This study aims to detect the effect of proprioceptive training on the functional recovery of people with CMC osteoarthritis in conservative treatments.
