Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of adding PRP or Sham PRP injection to ESWT treatment in patients with lateral epicondylitis on pain, muscle strength, functional activities, quality of life and work activities, and to determine the superiority of the treatments over each other.
The aim of study is to investigate the effect of Phonophoresis with topical glyceryl trinitrate versus traditional treatment in in patients with non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of single PRP injection compared with placebo and multiple PRP injections on pain, quality of life, shoulder function and muscle strength in the treatment of patients who have tendinopathy and/or partial tear in the rotator cuff.
Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that cause pain along back of leg near the heal. It is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connect calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to heel bone. There are number of treatment approaches to relieve pain in Achilles tendonitis . Insufficient literature has discuss the combine effect of myofascial release with eccentric resistance. So the aim of the study is to compare the effect of myofascial release with eccentric resistance and without eccentric resistance on pain , range of motion and functional disability in patient with Achilles tendinitis
Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is an overuse injury associated with loading activities, and popular among basketball and volleyball players. Although altered biomechanical characteristics during landing has been suggested as one of the risk factors for the development of PT, previous evidence failed to show the link between the sagittal plane biomechanics of the hip and knee joint and PT; and little was known about the frontal and horizontal plane biomechanics in athletes with PT. While other factors such as motor control or muscle activation also have not been explored fully. The purpose of this study is to compare hip motor control and biomechanical characteristics of the hip and knee joint during landing in athletes with and without symptomatic PT.
There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of different extracorporeal shock wave therapies (ESWT) in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.
To determine the effects of functional kinesio taping on subacromial space in athletes with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a commonly seen pathology in shoulder disease, which causes significant disability in daily living and work. Based on a cohort study of a large population, the prevalence of rotator cuff full-thickness tear was 20.7%. More broadly, the prevalence of rotator cuff abnormalities increased with age and up to 62% in population more than 80 years old. The pathophysiology of RCT could be attributed to extrinsic factors such as impingement by surrounding tissue and intrinsic factor such as tendon degeneration. According to previous study using histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques, fibrocartilaginous metaplasia, decreasing vascularity and fibroblast numbers were found in rotator cuff tear. Besides, the inflammatory response diminished as the tear size increased. The treatment of RCT includes surgery and non-operative treatment. The prognosis depends on the symptoms, tear size, chronicity and other structures involvement. Previous meta-analysis study reported that the effectiveness between surgery and conservative treatment is similar in treating RCT. Therefore, relative rest, oral medication, physical therapy and injection therapy were commonly used in first-line treatments. When treating shoulder pain with injection therapy, steroid was often used at first for short-term pain relief and anti-inflammation. However, the potential cytotoxic effect was found and could be harmful in tendon repair. To accelerative the healing process of soft tissue injury, regenerative injection become more popular and expectable over past few years. A meta-analysis study reported the positive long-term effect of prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). More recently, bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and amniotic membrane (AM) have been used in soft tissue repair and many clinical studies are processing.
It is aimed to compare in the early period the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in terms of the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided subacromial bursa injection with corticosteroid and ultrasound-guided lavage, which are the treatment options available in the literature for patients with calcific tendinitis who do not respond to conservative treatment.
Various local anesthetic volumes are used in the literature for anterior suprascapular nerve block (ASSB). There are different studies between 15 ml and 5 ml. Effective local anesthetic volume studies for ASSB have not yet been performed. Our study is aimed to investigate the minimum effective local anesthetic volume for ASSB.
