Filter by:The study aims to compare the effects of neuromuscular training and mobilization with movement on pain, range of motion, function, and disability in professional athletes with ankle sprain. Neuromuscular training focuses on improving neuromuscular control and stability, while mobilization with movement aims to restore joint mobility and function. By investigating the outcomes of these two interventions, the study seeks to provide insights into their effectiveness for managing ankle sprains in professional athletes.
This randomized controlled trial, conducted at the Pakistan Sports Board in Lahore from March to August 2023, investigates the impact of neuromuscular training with K-Tape on pain, range of motion, and balance in footballers with grade I and II ankle sprains. A total of 30 male participants aged 18-30, engaged in sports for at least one year with weekly training durations of 15-20 hours, are included in the study through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. The participants are divided into two groups: Group A (Control) receiving closed-chain exercises and Group B (Experimental) undergoing neuromuscular training with K-Tape. Data collection utilizes the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, the Star Excursion Balance Test for dynamic balance, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, and a goniometer for range of motion. Participants undergo three sessions of treatment per week for four weeks. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25, aiming to provide insights into the efficacy of neuromuscular training with K-Tape as a rehabilitation strategy for ankle sprains in footballers.
TRAUMED - a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Traumed® gel in patients with acute ankle sprain.
Ankle sprains represent a prevalent pathology among the pediatric population that can result in residual effects when treated incorrectly. However, there is a lack of scientific studies defining the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Our hypothesis is that patients treated solely with general measures, without external device support, experience a faster recovery compared to those treated with ankle immobilization. A clinical trial will be carried out by randomly assigning patients to either the functional bandaging group or the control group (general measures only). Prospective follow-up will be carried out by telephone, checking the functionality of the injured ankle using 'the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C)', in addition to pain control and patient satisfaction with the treatment.
This study aims to investigate the impact of impact of strain counterstrain technique on pain, lumbar range of motion and functional impairment in patients with lower back Myofascial pain syndrome.
Functional instability should be considered as a potential cause of residual ankle impairment and instability. Even if neuromuscular anomalies are detected, the precise cause of injury and the most efficient prevention strategies remain uncertain. The use of standardized and validated research instruments is strongly advocated. This is due in part to the idea that it allows for international and cross-national comparison of results. Another assumption is that utilizing validated tools increases confidence that they are measuring what they are intended to measure. However, a previously validated tool does not guarantee its applicability in a new period, culture, or setting. The rationale of study is to provide a valid and reliable tool translated into native language of Urdu speaking populations so that self-evaluation of ankle instability can be assessed and re-assessed over the time. The questionnaire is translated into various languages including; French, Japanese, Brazilian, Persian, Thai, Malay, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Turkish and Spanish; whereas, Pakistani Urdu version has not yet studied. The present study fills this literature gap and serves a large proportion of Urdu community around the globe; specially, Pakistan. By measuring the psychometric properties of this scale in Urdu version, quantitatively strengthens up the evidence and patients themselves can report their exact level of disorder by answering a set of questions in their own language.
Rink hockey teams from senior category (adults) will be recruited to implement a groin injury prevention program consisting on the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) throughout the regular season, 0 times, once or twice per week (september 2023-march 2024) Weekly team exposure to training sessions and games will be collected as well as cases of groin problems in the entire population When the season ends, the number of groin problems will be compared between teams that used the prevention program once a week against twice a week or no sessions a week.
kinesio taping would reduce pain, improve gait performance, and enhance the functional capacity of turf toe patients undergoing physical therapy
A current study will be conducted to determine the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. This study will be a clinical trial conducted at the Pakistan sports board in the Lahore district. The study will be completed within the time duration of Six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 17 participants in each group will be taken in this study to find the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. Athletes will be divided into two groups. Group A will be treated with closed-chain exercises and Group B will be with neuromuscular training. Pain (Numeric pain rating scale NPRS), Proprioceptive (balancing on a single leg with the eyes closed, balancing on a wobble board, Dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance test and Y Balance Test), Functional Ankle Instability (Greek version of the Identification functional ankle instability questionnaire IdFAI), Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY) and Ankle Instability Instrument (AII), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Range of Motion ROM (measure Goniometer) will be used as Data collecting tools. Three sessions of treatment per week for 4 weeks will be given. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 22. In descriptive statistics Frequency tables, pie charts, and bar charts will be used to show the summary of group measurements measured over time.
The study is a 5-week human study including 24 18-35 year old healthy men. Each participant will have muscle injury and tendon strain induced in one leg using neuromuscular electrical stimulation in conjunction with forced lengthening contractions. The investigators will monitor the recovery from injury/strain over a 4 week period, in which half of the subjects will receive growth hormone (somatropin) to stimulate the connective tissue synthesis.
