Filter by:Osteoarthritis is degenerative joint disease that cause deterioration of the articular cartilage and neighboring tissue and lead to osteophyte formation, weakening of surrounding muscles, ligamentous laxity and inflammation of synovium. Diagnosis can be made based on history and clinical features and risk factors including age, sex, body mass index , absence of whole leg pain, fixed flexion deformity, absence of traumatic event, restricted flexion range of motion, pain in descending stairs, palpable effusion and crepitus. Confirmation is usually based on radiological finding according to Kellgren and Lawrence diagnostic scale . Radio graphic changes of osteoarthritis of the knee are bilateral in 85% of patients .
In recent years, pain management coordinated with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied and rapidly developed in orthopedics, showing promising prospects. Since 2016, our hospital has used a series of continuously improved pain management schemes for patients with knee OA who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Here, we retrospectively analyze these patients' clinical data to compare the effects of different pain intervention measures during the perioperative period on postoperative pain, functional exercise, hospital stay, and prognosis of the three surgical methods in an attempt to provide a feasible solution for pain management of these patients.
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative joint disease that affects approximately more than 300 million people worldwide
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of ITB myofascial release with graston technique on symptoms associated with knee Osteoarthritis for reducing pain, enhancing knee range of motion and decrease functional disability.
This study's aim was: - To determine the effects of kinesio taping and dry needling on pain, ROMs, functional mobility, and quality of life in knee OA patients.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial sought to evaluate the efficacy of the iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block on postoperative pain, functional recovery and NLR and PLR levels.
The Baker cyst (BC), also known as the popliteal cyst or parameniscal cyst, is a fluid-filled sac that commonly develops in the posterior aspect of the knee, between the semimembranosus and medial head of the gastrocnemius. It is a common complication of knee osteoarthritis, and can also be associated with other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and meniscal tears. BCs are typically asymptomatic, but can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the back of the knee. In severe cases, they can rupture, leading to inflammation and pain in the calf. Physiotherapy is a common treatment for BCs, and has been shown to be effective in reducing size and symptoms. Intermittent vacuum therapy (IVT) is a type of physiotherapy that involves applying suction to the affected area. IVT is thought to work by increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help to reduce inflammation and swelling. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IVT in the treatment of BCs. A total of 65 patients with knee osteoarthritis and BCs will be recruited and randomized to either a control group or an IVT group. The control group will receive standard physiotherapy treatment, while the IVT group will receive IVT in addition to standard physiotherapy treatment. All patients will be assessed at baseline and after 10 days of treatment using a variety of clinical and functional measures, including the echo volume of the BC. The results of the study will be used to determine whether IVT is an effective treatment for BCs. This study is designed to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the treatment of BCs. The results of the study will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and patients.
Patients with knee osteoarthritis may develop an antalgic gait over time due to pain in the knee, characterized by a decrease in the stance phase and stride length on the painful side. Gait asymmetry, which may lead to different musculoskeletal problems in the future, is observed in the patients. Gait symmetry can be achieved with gait retraining, and effective focus is required during training. In the literature, there are many studies of the positive effects of white noise on focusing, but there are also studies that report that it reduces focusing. Today, exercise training is usually performed in rehabilitation units or on treadmills. As there are important differences between walking on a treadmill and walking outdoors in terms of noise, uneven ground and visual stimuli, the place where walking training is performed does not reflect the outdoor environment. It was aimed to investigate the effect of internal focusing on gait cycle and the effect of white noise and environmental sound on internal focusing in patients with knee osteoarthritis
the aim is to measure the level of adherence of knee osteoartheritis patients to a Carefully curated program that follows the American College of Rheumatology/Arthritis (ACR) recommendation guidelines and investigate the factor that might affect the patient's adherence to the prescribed protocol.
The purpose of this study is to translate and culturally adapt the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) into Turkish, and to determine the measurement properties of the Turkish version.
