Filter by:This study will include 3 different groups of intervention. First group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, 2 days strecthing exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program, Second group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both stretching and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, strengthening exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program.Third group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied all stretching, strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, only 30 minutes walking will be given as home program. The primary outcome measures include the pain, function and the secondary outcome measures include the joint proprioception. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects on outcome measures increasing number of exercises in one session and to determine which exercise types are more suitable to prescribe as a home program.
This is a single-site, three-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The clinical effects of a nurse-led, very brief, preoperative mindfulness-based intervention for hip and knee replacement patients will be investigated relative to an audio-recorded very brief, preoperative mindfulness-based intervention delivered during the standard nurse consult and a nurse-led preoperative pain psychoeducation intervention during the standard nurse consult.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of compressive myofascial release and conventional knee osteoarthritis treatment to correct lateral patellar tracking. A randomized control trial was conducted at Railway General Hospital, Ahad Medicare clinics and physiotherapy Centre and The Health Professional physiotherapy clinic Bahria town phase 6. The sample size was 52 calculated through open-epi tool. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 26 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was non probability convenient sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed enveloped method. Only participants who were 50 years above with grade 2 and 3 knee osteoarthritis were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Q angle, numeric pain rating scale, goniometry and WOMAC questionnaire, Self structured Questionnaire. Data was collected at baseline, at the end of 3rd session and 6th session. Data analyzed through SPSS version 23.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the ultrasound devices and common pain relief gel. The ability of the three treatment approaches to reduce pain, stiffness, and functionality as measured by NRS scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) will be evaluated.
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive disease with high disability and teratogenicity in the joints. Deterioration of the articular cartilage is the main problem associated with osteoarthritis, which decreases joint space between the two bones[1]. Clinically, patients with knee OA typically present with a chief complaint of pain, often associated with limited range of motion, stiffness, osteophytes, crepitus, and effusions. Due to the progressive degenerative nature of OA and the associated pain, patients become more physically impaired through the course of the disease [6]. One of the main tissues affected by this disease is the articular cartilage, which is a thin tissue covering the bony end in the joint that mainly provides mechanical support and lubrication during joint movement [7]. Age, previous knee injuries, but also obesity(increased body mass index(BMI)) ,joint malalignment and instability that result in increased mechanical stress are all strong risk factors for the development of knee OA [8-10]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), arthroscopy examination, high-frequency color ultrasound and thermal texture maps are the four most acceptable types of imaging examinations. These examinations cannot only help diagnose KOA, but they can also assess the severity of joint damage and evaluate disease progression and treatment [11,12]. Treatment options for patients with OA include: conservative approaches, such as weight loss, physical therapy, and pharmacological interventions, while the more invasive approaches include intraarticular injections, joint preserving surgical treatment, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). [13, 14] Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a novel technique that also recently gained popularity in alleviating chronic pain in patients with musculoskeletal disorders such as OA [15] Radiofrequency (RF) ablation, or modulation of the sensory innervation surrounding the knee, specifically the genicular nerves (GNs), has emerged as a therapeutic option to treat chronic knee OA pain for patients who are unresponsive to conservative treatments or are unsuitable candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). [16, 17]
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of various corticosteroids administered to the shoulder, knee and hip joints in diabetic patients on resultant blood glucose readings.
The dual mobility concept currently represents the newest generation of thumb carpometacarpal prostheses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of TOUCH® prosthesis. From September 2019 to December 2023,a minimum of 100 prosthesis shall be implanted in patients suffering from symptomatic stage III osteoarthritis. All included patients will follow a systematic follow-up regimen (4, 8, 16 weeks, 6, and 12 months as well as 24 months postoperatively). Radiographics, ROM, VAS, DASH and Pinch grip are measured. Aim of the study is to compare clinical outcome of dual mobility prosthesis with common results of CMC I Prosthesis in literature.
Unisex knee prosthesis and patient specific knee prosthesis has the same anterior knee pain and patellar tracking
Patients with shoulder osteoarthritis are suffering from pain and disabilities which lead to difficulties in life. The presence of platelet-rich plasma as regenerative therapy which helps in healing of damaged tissues like ligaments and joint might be of great benefit in managing such conditions.
This study will investigate whether the recovery of muscle function of total knee arthroplasty is accelerated with the use of the gekoTM device along with its effect on reducing symptoms such as oedema and inhibition of the muscle function.
