Filter by:The former purpose of this study to investigate the effect of transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, vastus lateralis, lateral gastrocnemius, anterior talofibular ligament of morphology on explosive power and balance performance in cronic ankle instability with volleyball players. The latter purpose of this study to determine morphological characteristics volleyball players with and without cronic ankle insatbility of trunk muscle morphology, field tests and the muscle morphology features between the body affected and unaffected sides whose those with chronic ankle instability.This study was designed as a cross-sectional. Twelve volleyball players with chronic ankle instability who meet the criteria determined by the ankle consortium will be included in study group. Twelve asymptomatic volleyball players who have been training at least three days a week for at least one year will be include in the control group. They will consist of 24 volleyball players between 14-35 years of age.Morphological characteristics of anterior talofibular ligament, transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, vastus lateralis, lateral gastrocnemius will be evaluated via ultrasound, explosive power with squat jump, counter movement jump and balance performance by Y-Balance Test. Trunk muscle morphology, core stabilization, explosive power, balance performance will have been compered in volleyball players with and without chronic ankle instability. The effects of morphological features on explosive power and balance performance will have been determined. It is anticipated that by determining the parameters that can be affected by instability with volleyball players, it will guide the professionals working in the field, countribute to treatment and preventive treatment programs.
The study is a 2-week human study where 40 patients who are scheduled to undergo reconstructive knee surgery are randomized to administration of GH or placebo following or without neuromuscular electrical stimulation of hamstring muscles.The overall aim is to determine, the role of muscle connective tissue protein synthesis in muscle injury and repair.
caesarean section rate in Egypt has reached about 60% between primgravidae. Wound complications are of the most common morbidities following cesarean section. The prevalence of wound infection and disruption after cesarean has been reported as 3-15%, averagely speaking 6% and 2-42% in various studies. These complications affect mother's quality of life due to stress, anxiety, delay in mother's ability and health recovery
Study of role of colchicine in reducing periprocedural myocardial injury in patients prepared for elective PCI and its role in reduction of MACEs.
The overall objective of this study is to improve unaided cough with abdominal and latissimus dorsi functional electrical stimulation in conjunction with respiratory muscle training in individuals with acute spinal cord injuries.
In Canada, injury leads to more potential years of life lost and to greater costs than heart and stroke diseases combined. Furthermore, more than 50% of patients hospitalised following injury do not receive optimal care, 20% of injury deaths are estimated to be preventable, and significant variations in injury mortality and morbidity have been observed across trauma centers in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. Over the past decades, emphasis on adherence to evidence-based processes of care (rewards for doing more) and rapid innovation in imaging and therapeutic techniques has led to an exponential rise in unnecessary tests and procedures. Whole body computed tomography scan for single-system trauma is just one example. Low-value clinical practices, defined as "the common use of a particular intervention when the benefits don't justify the potential harm or cost" consume up to 30% of healthcare budgets. They expose patients to physical and psychological adverse events and put enormous pressure on healthcare budgets, thereby threatening accessible, universal health care. The objective of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention targeting reductions in low-value clinical practices for injury admissions. The results of this study should directly lead to improvements in the health systems across Canada and elsewhere. Medium and long-term advantages include an increase in healthcare efficiency and effectiveness, a reduction in costs, an increase in the availability of resources for patients who need them and a reduction in adverse events for patients hospitalized following injury.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on pain and both Virtual Reality and Music Therapy as add-on therapy during wound care at the surgical wards in adults.
The purpose of this interventional study is to compare SynEx Wound Cleanser with the current routine care (Saline) in traumatic wounds. Participants with gunshot, penetrating or burn wounds who participate will be asked to attend up to four study visits, use the assigned wound cleanser and complete brief surveys about their healing and well-being related to the wound healing.
This study is set up within the framework of the European Union regulation 2017/745 on medical devices. Its objective is to confirm the performance and safety of the Global D implants (ORTRAUTEK® and MINITEK/MICROTEK®) used for trauma surgery.
Objective: The relationship between rotator cuff tears and morphological features of the shoulder joint has not been fully explained. The earlier studies are usually done with two-dimensional radiography images, but joint positions and bone formations could not be fully evaluated in two-dimensional images. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between rotator cuff tears and critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromial index (AI) values in three dimensions. Methods: This study examined computerized tomography of 24 rotator cuff tears (rotator cuff tear group) and 20 Bankart lesions, and no rotator cuff tears (control group). CSA and AI were measured on three-dimensional glenohumeral joint models obtained by three-dimensional reconstructions of computed tomography examinations. The investigators anticipate results of this study will guide clinicians in revealing the etiology of rotator cuff degeneration and determining the surgical method to be used for treatment.
