Filter by:The study will be randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. A sample size of 84 will be randomly allocated into two experimental groups, (42 participants in each group), by computer generated random number list. The participants,randomly allocated to the experimental group A, will receive high intensity resisted exercises ,in addition with routine physical therapy as TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator), Hot pack, Deep friction massage Each session will be of 35-45 minutes with 5 minutes warm up, 35 minutes for training session and lastly 5 minutes for cool down • Participants in experimental group B, will receive Low intensity resisted exercises in addition with routine physical therapy
This exploratory study is to compares mechanisms of mind-body exercise with wellness education program on gut microbiota for osteoarthritis as a basis for a future large-scale trial.
This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of arthroscopic release for primary osteoarthritis of the elbow with stiffness with or without ulnar nerve release. The patients with primary osteoarthritis of the elbow with stiffness, which ulnar neuropathy proven by electromyography without clinical symptoms, were randomly divided into groups before the operation. Before the arthroscopic operation was began, the procedure of ulnar nerve release was performed according to the group(release group or unrelease group). In different time periods postoperatively, the quantitative and qualitative indicators including pain, functional score, muscle strength, etc. were compared between groups at the same time period to evaluate the difference in the effect of arthroscopic treatment combined with ulnar nerve release.
Changes in demographics and physical activities of the young population have increased the number of patients with medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) requiring surgical intervention. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) have shown good clinical results in restoring lower extremity alignment, reducing pain, and improving knee function in patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis and genu varum deformity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between correction of the malalignment of the knee and ankle pain and orientation in patient of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis using high tibial osteotomy by recent reports concerning the indications, functional outcomes and complication.
This clinical trial is for patients who have been diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (K&L) Grade 2 or 3 knee osteoarthritis on radiographic examination. Only subjects who voluntarily agree to participate by filling out the written Informed Consent document will undergo screening for subject selection (inclusion/exclusion) criteria, at which time the severity of OA in each knee will be used to determined which knee will be treated (index knee - i.e., the more severely affected knee), and enroll in this study.
The purpose of this research is to help determine if use of the Guardian brace during prehab and post-op rehab after TKA can help improve functional outcomes and reduce the incidence of post-operative flexion contractures which reduce knee range of motion after surgery.
The aim of the study is to compare effects of calisthenics and neuromuscular training in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
This prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial is designed to assess the incidence of all time and all types of wound-related complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) when two different types of topical skin adhesives are used to close the incision.
This study addresses this question by comparing two recommended and potentially competing strategies in the management of obese knee OA patients: Strategy A. A 3-months waiting list followed by a 12-week Intensive supervised diet intervention; Strategy B. A 3-months waiting list followed by surgical knee arthroplasty including standard post-operative rehabilitation. The primary outcome is taken at week 38 from inclusion (baseline) corresponding to 6 months after treatment start (either surgery or intensive diet program). Outcomes are also taken at baseline, week 13 (before treatment start), week 26 (end of diet program), week 38 (primary endpoint), and week 64.
Tissue flossing has been known to produce results such as pain relief and improved range of motion, this technique might yield positive results in knee OA patients as well. These effects can further be compared with existing treatment method for treatment of hamstring such as Active isolated stretch and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation. This study will be among the first to carry out the technique of flossing in knee OA patients.
