Filter by:The study consists in recruiting patients with ankle sprains who visit the emergency department (ED). Each patient will be tested by an osteopath who we will measure pain, swelling and/or edema, and mobility of the ankle. Patients will be asked to reproduce exercises such as to hold on one foot, to stand on tiptoes... Then, patients will be divided into two groups. The first group will undergo medical treatment during the ED visit, while the second group will undergo osteopathic treatment. Three time points will be planned. The first one will be the patient's consultation in the ED where treatment will be carried out according to its assignment, as well as the clinical measures previously described. The second time point will be seven days later (plus or minus three days), where only clinical measurements will be performed. The third time point will be three weeks later (plus or minus three days), when the ankle sprain has consolidated, in order to carry out the clinical measurements again. These clinical measurements will allow to evaluate the effectiveness of a single osteopathic consultation in the ED. The investigators expect a reduction in immediate pain, and thereafter, a reduction in swelling, and an improved mobility and stability of the ankle.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.
This study intends to investigate the negative emotions, fear-avoidance beliefs, and quality of life in patients with chronic ankle sprains to explore the relationship between negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, fear-avoidance beliefs, and their impact on quality of life.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up conducted in order to collect long-term data on safety and performance of the EasyMove prosthesis, which is intended to be implanted in case of total ankle replacement, when used in real life conditions according to the instructions for use.
This study is based on human anatomical data and uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) software such as biomedical image processing software, reverse engineering software, CAD software, and finite element analysis software to create a three-dimensional bracing model. With the help of 3D printing technology, we have developed personalized brace, completed the personalized rapid design and optimization of the three series of support equipment products such as the posterior cruciate ligament brace, ankle ankle brace, and shoulder brace.
The primary objective is to evaluate indications and outcomes of operative fixation of syndesmotic injuries, at least in part, with direct anatomic augmentation in acute and subacute traumatic cases. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate clinically the InternalBraceTm to facilitate the direct syndesmotic fixation/augmentation.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of coverage of soft tissue defects of leg and foot by modified sural flap versus anterolateral thigh flap
Reducing pain and recovery of strength and function are major challenges in physical therapy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel intervention that has gained popularity in the rehabilitation of athletic injuries, pain management, and sports performance. Acute application of tDCS has been shown to modulate the perception of effort and fatigue, enhance motor learning, improve endurance performance, and improve muscular power and strength. tDCS has also been shown to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain conditions. Using a double-blind, randomized clinical trial design, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of tDCS plus standard rehabilitation compared to rehabilitation alone on pain, balance and proprioception, functional performance, and strength following acute ankle inversion sprain. We hypothesize that the group using tDCS will demonstrate superior outcomes in all variables of interest.
Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.
Ankle sprain is a frequent and widely trivialized trauma. Misdiagnosed or poorly treated, it can recur and thus develop into chronic ankle instability. It can be associated with complications which, if not detected early, can lead to long-term sequelae.
