Effect of Perineural Dexmedetomidine vs. Dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block for Anesthesia After Pediatric ankle/foot surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06114654 Completed - Muscle Weakness Clinical Trials

Gluteal Musculature Activation to Improve Ankle Stability

TOBEMG
Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate and correlate muscle activation in the gluteal musculature and ankle stability in a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a significant positive correlation between gluteal muscle activation and ankle stability? Participants will complete questionnaires on the functionality of foot and ankle pathologies related to their daily life and sports activities, and perform specific physical tests to assess muscle strength, ankle stability, and activation of the lower extremity musculature.

NCT ID: NCT05922618 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Complex Regional Pain Syndromes

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFS) in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type i (CRPS-I) of the Foot (PeCFoA)

(PeCFoA)
Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators hypothesize that the association of I-ONE® therapy with standard rehabilitation treatment can optimize the clinical and functional recovery of patients with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) (I-ONE® therapy) of the foot or ankle.

NCT ID: NCT05902949 Completed - Ankle Disease Clinical Trials

Analysis of Postural Control in Children Suffering From Triceps Suralis Shortening.

Start date: June 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The central nervous system (CNS) coordinates balance through the visual, vestibular, and somatoproprioceptive systems, which produce muscle activation for postural control. Among the important muscle activations for postural control are those produced in the ankle joint, which is crucial for maintaining postural control in sports settings, along with the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Studies show that children who practice sports improve their postural stability and accelerate sensory maturation, which can affect the development of the lower limb extremity, specifically the insertional musculature of the ankle and foot. The present study aims to analyze postural control in school-aged children with triceps suralis retraction and assess the effectiveness of treatment with stretching versus a heel pad for 3 and 6 months. Additionally, the study will analyze whether the physical activity the children engage in influences their stability

NCT ID: NCT05887765 Completed - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

Effect of Systematic Dexamethasone on the Duration of Popliteal Nerve Block for Anesthesia After Pediatric Ankle Surgery

Start date: October 17, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Effect of systematic dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block after pediatric ankle/foot surgery

NCT ID: NCT04359628 Recruiting - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

How Does Patients' Overall Assessment of Their Health Vary Across and Within Different Disease Groups?

SWEQR
Start date: January 2002
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

EQ-5D is one of the most commonly employed patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. It is included in many of the Swedish National Quality Registers (NQRs). EQ-5D health states are usually summarized using 'values' obtained from healthy members of the general public. However an alternative - which remains to be studied in detail - is the potential to use patients' self-reported overall health on the visual analogue scale as a means of capturing experience-based values. The overall aim of this project is to increase knowledge on the potential applicability of EQ VAS as a health state valuation method through assessment of its variability across and within patient groups and compared with that of the general population in Sweden. Data on nearly 700,000 patients from 12 NQRs covering a variety of diseases/conditions and from the general population will be analysed. Longitudinal studies of PROs among different patient groups will be conducted at baseline/first visit and 1-year follow-up. Descriptive analyses comparing EQ-5D health states and observed self-assessed EQ VAS within and across registers will be performed. Comparisons of the change in health state and observed EQ VAS values over one year will also be made. Regression models will be used to assess whether EQ-5D dimensions predict observed EQ VAS values to investigate patient value sets in each NQR. These will be compared across the patient groups and with the existing Swedish experience-based VAS and time trade-off (TTO) value sets obtained from the general population. This research project will provide information on the variation among different patient groups in terms of self-reported health status through EQ VAS and comparison with the general population. Knowledge on the relative importance of different dimensions of the EQ-5D to different patient groups as well as the general population will be gained in this project. The possibility of getting value sets based on patients' self-reported EQ VAS values and their comparison with value sets from experience-based general population studies will be discussed.

NCT ID: NCT04145206 Completed - Ankle Disease Clinical Trials

Ankle Instability in Flamenco Dancers

Start date: March 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The injuries in the dancers are usually associated with different factors such as the characteristics of the footwear, height of the heel and physical requirements, the articulation of the ankle being the most susceptible when the loads are not adequately dealt. The main objective is to evaluate in a sample of subjects if there is a difference in the stability of the ankle, as a consequence of previous sprains, between flamenco dancers and dancers and a dance-free control group.

NCT ID: NCT03886818 Completed - Ankle Disease Clinical Trials

Efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy After Total Ankle Arthroplasty

PICO-PTC
Start date: March 25, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

About 500 total ankle prostheses are implanted each year in France. Wound healing issues are the most common complications after Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). In 2010, a French retrospective study observed a wound infection rate of 8% among 592 prostheses implanted. Wound infection rate can vary up to 28% from the data available in the literature. Delayed wound healing is a known risk factor of surgical site infection (SSI). Even if it remains a rare event, its consequences for the patient can be severe and lead to removal and/or replacement of the prosthesis, arthrodesis, or transtibial amputation. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is an adjuvant therapy for wound management and healing: it delivers a controlled negative pressure (sub-atmospheric) applied topically onto the wound from a vacuum pump. The wound is filled with wound filler and sealed with an airtight adhesive drape. It allows creating a moist wound environment, removing exudate, and reducing edema and risk of infection. Incisional NPWT can accelerate wound healing regardless of the surgery performed, including orthopedics. A retrospective study compared the incidence of healing complications after TAA between the administration of the NPWT PICO™ (Smith&Nephew) and the standard of care of postoperative wounds in 74 patients. A significant reduction of wound healing issues (3% vs. 24%, respectively; p=0.004) and a non-significant reduction of SSI (3% vs. 8%, respectively) were observed. To the investigator knowledge, no randomized study has been conducted to assess the efficacy of the NPWT PICO™ for postoperative wound healing after TAA: Investigators propose to set up this study to obtain a high level of evidence in this population and investigators assume that the use of the PICO™ system after TAA would reduce delayed wound healing compared to the standard of care with conventional dressings.
