Filter by:Despite DFM being a widely-used technique and the empirical grounding regarding the importance of the pressure applied, there is no study characterizing the pressure applied during DFM, remaining it a discretion of the physiotherapist. Additionally, it is not known how the amount of pressure applied may influence pain mechanisms or function in the symptomatic patellar tendon. Having this, our objective is to characterize the pressure applied during deep friction massage and evaluate the immediate effects of different pressures applied during deep friction massage in the time until analgesia as well as in function, in patellar tendinopathy.
This study is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study of SM04755 solution applied topically once daily for 14 days to intact skin overlying the inner thigh of healthy subjects at an estimated body surface area (BSA) of 80 cm^2. Dosing cohorts will consist of 8 subjects who will be randomized 3:1 (SM04755:placebo).
The supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy show a big impact, however, there is a lack of awareness about the options of the physiotherapist treatment. It is necessary to do studies about effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®). This technique enables treatment of the tendinopathies and the broken muscle fibrilare. It is base on the application of galvanic current through a acupuncture needle. To analyze the effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®) in the treatment of supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Single center randomized controlled trial, parallel treatment design. A specialist physician will be diagnosed the supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatmen for 4 weeks: EPTE® associated with eccentric exercises or dry needling with the same eccentric exercises. Both interventions were performed under ultrasound guidance with a portable ultrasound (General Electric LogicE). Data will be collected by a blinded evaluator.
This pilot randomised controlled trial will directly compare the effect of isometric exercise to isotonic exercise over a period of 12 weeks for participants with a clinical diagnosis of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS).
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if focal shock wave is an effective treatment, with respect to hip pain and lower limb function, in a population affected by greater trochanteric pain syndrome with gluteal tendinopathy.
The overall goal of this research is to find an effective treatment for patellar tendinopathy (PT). To achieve this, we will conduct a double-blinded randomized controlled trial to investigate if platelet-rich plasma is effective for treatment. Clinical (pain and function scores) and bio-mechanical (knee strength) measures will be correlated with disease modification changes assessed using conventional and novel quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) techniques.
The investigators aim to investigate whether combination of PRP injection with physiotherapy program could produce superior effect than either treatment alone.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), an electrostimulation technique known to modulate the motor cortex excitability, has been shown to enhance the effects of rehabilitation in populations with neurological injuries. tDCS could similarly be effective in individuals with rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, as this pathology is also associated with pain and motor control deficits. For the treatment of RC tendinopathy, sensorimotor training is effective to reduce pain, increase function and enhance motor control of the shoulder. The addition of tDCS during sensorimotor training could enhance motor learning associated with sensorimotor training and thus improve treatment outcome. PURPOSE: To compare, in terms of symptoms, functional limitations and shoulder control, a group receiving a rehabilitation program centered on sensorimotor training combined with tDCS to a group receiving the same rehabilitation program combined with sham tDCS in individuals with RC tendinopathy. METHODS: Forty adults with RC tendinopathy will take part in the 4 evaluation sessions (0, 3, 6, 12 weeks) and a 6-week rehabilitation program. Outcome measures will be symptoms and functional limitations (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand and the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff index), as well as acromiohumeral distance ([AHD] ultrasonographic measurement at 0° and 60° of elevation arm). The rehabilitation program will include sensorimotor training, strengthening and education. tDCS will be apply during sensorimotor training on the motor cortex contralateral to the side of pain. A 2-way ANOVA will be used to analyse the effects of tDCS on the outcomes.
The purpose of this project is to investigate if the magnitude of a loading based 12 weeks rehabilitation regime for patellar tendinopathy influence the clinical outcome, tendon structure and function. The investigators hypothesize that a greater magnitude (90% of 1RM) of loading will yield a more positive clinical outcome, tendon structure and function in patients with patellar tendinopathy compared to a lower magnitude of loading (55% of 1 RM) when total exercise volume is equal in both groups.
The purpose of the present study is to examine the long-term effect of eccentric exercises compared with stretching exercises on patients with achillodynia.
