NCT ID: NCT04469361 Completed - Clinical trials for Venous Insufficiency

The Effect of Training on Hemodynamic Factors in Ballet Dancer

Start date: September 4, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Classic ballet dance is a demonstration of complex motor skills to be revealed in aesthetic combinations and repetitively, and it demands intensive use of the lower extremities within extreme of range of motion (ROM). Because ballet practice depends on advanced technical skills, it involves intensive physical training and causes an overload on the musculoskeletal system and foot deformities such as pes planus. Plantar venous pump (PVP) is a network of multiple venous vessels located between the muscles of the foot arch. PVP is considered the first step of venous return and discharges into the posterior tibial vein (PTV). PVP is reported to be active during gait while it is inactive in resting position. There are different views on the mechanisms enabling its activation 1-3. The general view is that during the stance phase of the gait, the flattening of the plantar arch with weight transfer causes the veins in this region to narrow and creates a force that pumps the blood up. The aim of this study is the investigation what kind of hemodynamic changes ballet training causes in the lower extremity

NCT ID: NCT04322448 Completed - Clinical trials for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Mechanomyography for Predictor of Prognosis in CuTS and PND Patients

Start date: August 3, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study will be a non-blinded two cohort design consisting only of symptomatic patients with CuTS or compressive peroneal neuropathy or in need of peroneal nerve decompression. The first cohort will be - patients with CuTS. Evaluation of each CuTS patient will include assessment by the treating surgeon and a certified hand therapist. Patients who have clinical examination and history consistent with a diagnosis of CuTS based on subjective and functional assessment outlined below will be consented to this study. The second cohort will be patients in need PND for compressive neuropathy of peroneal nerve. PND patients will be evaluated by clinical exam and have imaging with high resolution ultrasound or MRI negative for mass lesion.

NCT ID: NCT03753178 Completed - Clinical trials for Common Peroneal Neuropathy

Sensory Potentials and Ultrasonography in Common Peroneal Mononeuropathy

Start date: January 1, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck (CPN) is one of the most frequent mononeuropathies of the lower extremities. The common peroneal nerve sub serves sensation to the dorsum of the foot and toes. In CPN motor fibers of the deep peroneal nerve are more frequently affected than those of the superficial peroneal nerve. Fascicles of the deep branch of the common peroneal nerve are more anteriorly located and more vulnerable to injury than those of the superficial peroneal branch. The clinical and electrodiagnostic findings in CPN resemble the anatomical structure of the common peroneal nerve, indeed fibers for the deep peroneal nerve and the superficial peroneal nerve are bounded in separate fascicles along the course of the nerve. Superficial peroneal nerve sensory potential (SPSP) should be performed to localize the site of injury. Electrodiagnostic testing is used widely to evaluate the function of the common peroneal nerve. SPSP have been examined in CPN with conflicting results. A loss in amplitude of this response implies some axonal loss affecting either the common peroneal nerve or its superficial branch. Prominent axonal loss is the hallmark of most CPN lesions and suggested that abnormalities in sensory nerves mirror those in motor nerves. Moreover, assessment of the structure of the common peroneal nerve is likely to improve the diagnostic yield" by using high-resolution ultrasonography. Ultrasound imaging is painless, does not expose the patient to radiation, and has several advantages compared with magnetic resonance imaging in the laboratory setting, including reduced cost, accessibility, ability to image the entire length of the nerve in a single study, and the ability to image both statically and dynamically. This study was conducted to evaluate the superficial peroneal sensory potential and high-resolution ultrasonography role in confirmation of common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck.

NCT ID: NCT03560505 Completed - Ultrasonography Clinical Trials

High-resolution Ultrasound in Lower Extremity Nerves and Common Fibular Neuropathies.

Start date: May 16, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study establishes reference material of selected lower extremity nerves at pre-defined sites with high-resolution ultrasound. Furthermore in this study, high-resolution ultrasound of patients with common fibular compression neuropathy and patients with type 2 diabetic polyneuropathy involving the common fibular nerve will be examined and compared to healthy controls. High-resolution ultrasound measurements will be correlated with history, clinical information and electrophysiological data.

NCT ID: NCT03440632 Completed - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

Functional Electrical Stimulation During Walking in Cerebral Palsy

Start date: August 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) often walk with insufficient ankle dorsiflexion in the swing phase. A pathological gait, known as drop-foot gait, can be the result and this has 2 major complications: foot-slap during loading response and toe-drag during swing. This is partly caused by weakness of the anterior tibial muscle and partly due to co-contraction of both the fibular- and anterior tibial muscle. For classification of gait, the Winters scale can be used, where unilateral CP with dropfoot is classified as type I. In daily life these problems cause limited walking distance and frequent falls, leading to restrictions in participating in daily life. The current guideline for spastic cerebral palsy describes the following therapies: 1) conservative therapy (physiotherapy, orthopaedic shoes and orthoses) 2) drugs suppressing spasticity 3) surgical interventions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) may be an effective alternative treatment for children with spastic CP and a drop foot. By stimulating the fibular nerve or the anterior tibial muscle directly during the swing phase, dorsiflexion of the foot is stimulated. In contrast to bracing, FES does not restrict motion, but does produce muscle contraction, and thus has the potential to increase strength and motor control through repetitive neural stimulation over time. In a systematic review the investigators found that FES immediately improves ankle dorsal flexion and reduces falls and these effects also sustain. However, it should be noted that the level of evidence is limited. Until now, the use of FES in CP is limited and no data exist about the effects on walking distance (activity level) and participation level. The overall objective of this study is to conduct a randomised cross-over intervention trial in children with unilateral spastic CP with 12 weeks of FES (for every participant) and 18 weeks of conventional therapy. The effectiveness of FES will be examined at participation leven, using individual goal attainment. Next to that the effect at gait will be measured. An additional goal is to investigate the cost effectiveness of FES, which, in case of a positive effect, may support allowance by insurance companies.

NCT ID: NCT02729636 Completed - Foot Drop Clinical Trials

Multi-pad FES System for Drop Foot Treatment

Start date: October 22, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is multi-pad system that allows fast optimization of stimulation patterns for achieving strong dorsiflexion/plantar flexion and automatic real-time control of ankle joint during FES assisted walking. The main aim of the present study is to compare the effects of functional electrical stimulation gait training after stroke and overground conventional physical therapy. With the assumption that the advanced method of functional electrical stimulation will improve gait parameters and functionality in patients with foot drop before and after FES treatment the objectives of this study are to examine the effects of functional electrical stimulation using FES:a method on indicators of walk and function in patients with foot drop before and after FES treatment.
