Filter by:Lateral epicondylitis is a degenerative tendinosis of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle and is the most common work/sports-related chronic musculoskeletal problem affecting the elbow. This randomized, double-blinded, controlled study aimed to evaluate the short term and residual effectiveness of the Kinesio taping method on pain, grip force, quality of life, and functionality.
The purpose of this project is to extract effusions and damaged tendons during tendon repair therapy in patients with tendon tears. Then, we would analyze tendon-related transcription factors from histology and cytology, and compare changes in tendon with ultrasound images. Helps to understand the mechanism of tendon lesions.
The aim of the trial is comparison of the effectiveness of three methods of conservative treatment in partial thickness rotator cuff injury (PTRCI): collagen with PRP injections, PRP injections alone and collagen injections alone.
Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is the common cause of anterior knee pain, particularly in sports required repeated jumping and landing, such as volleyball. PT clinically presents as anterior knee pain and localized tenderness at the patellar tendon. To evaluate the severity of symptoms of PT, the VISA-P questionnaire is a self-administered, well-validated, and widespread assessment tool. In the long term, athletes would land with knee avoidance patterns and transfer the load to the hip joint caused further hip-related injury. Lower extremities eccentric exercise has been proven the most beneficial treatment of PT. However, the course lasts for three to six months. For athletes who are still in season, it's difficult to get the immediate effect. A newly developed biomechanical taping, dynamic tape, considered to be beneficial for load absorption during muscle eccentric contraction during landing and further normalized the lower extremities load contribution by its viscoelasticity property. However, no past research has confirmed this effect. Therefore, the aims of the study are to translate the English VISA-P questionnaire to the Chinese and to study the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. In the next part, the investigators investigate the different landing biomechanics between individuals with and without patellar tendinopathy and establish the reliability of different landing tasks, and further explore whether the dynamic tape alters landing biomechanics in volleyball players.
The bent knee fall out test (BKFO) is a common test for hip adductor flexibility. It is unknown whether the BKFO actually tests the the adductors or potentially hip range of motion instead. In this study, the BKFO test is performed in the operating theater before and after an adductor longus tenotomy.
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the status of the individuals with hindfoot pain and to recommend preventive precautions and appropriate exercise programs with Smart Phone-Based Applications. Additionally, to compare the results of patients who attended through mobile applications (Achilles Tendinopathy and Plantar Fasciitis) with the results of patients included in the hands-on program.
The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of Ekstracorpereal shock wave treatment (ESWT) on muscle strength, flexibility and architecture of the lower extremity tendinopathies when applied using the frequencies specified in the literature with min and max frequency frequencies. Our hypothesis as researchers is ESWT treatment has an effect on muscle strength, flexibility and muscle architecture.
Biceps tendinopathy is a common cause in shoulder-pain symptoms. The major mechanism is overuse of the biceps muscles. The long-term accumulated and poor repaired trauma causes myofascial trigger points in the related muscles.We will conduct the randomized, open label experiment to evaluate the immediate, short-term, and long-term effect of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN).
The aim of this randomized controlled study in to investigate if a shock wave treatment extended to the gastrocnemius-soleus trigger points (TrP) is more effective than a standard treatment exclusively targeted at the plantar fascia in a population affected by unilateral plantar fasciitis with concomitant sural myofascial pain syndrome.
Sixty physically active patients (aged 18-45) with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy will be recruited to take part in the study. The patients will be diagnosed by a sports medicine doctor and an MRI scan and will be experiencing palpable Achilles pain at the time of inclusion. The patients will be randomized into either a group performing the Silbernagel combined concentric-eccentric program, or a group performing a novel multi-phase program with specific outcome measures. The study will assess the patients calf strength, reactive strength and running biomechanics at baseline, week's 6 and 12 of a rehabilitation program and be available for a 6 month, 12 month and 2 year follow-up interview. The VISA-A questionnaire will be the primary outcome measure and will be completed at each testing and follow-up session.
