Filter by:extremity trauma is a frequent reason for emergency room visits. There is an increase in the use of CT scanners in extremity trauma, due to a greater sensitivity of detection than X-rays, particularly for "occult fractures" and for the organization of treatment, particularly surgical treatment. As the number of CT scans increases, the reduction of the delivered dose has become a subject of interest. Among the many methods used, the use of iterative reconstruction has enabled a substantial reduction in the delivered dose without compromising image quality: low-dose and ultra-low-dose protocols (effective dose equivalent to the effective dose of the Diagnostic Reference Levels of radiographs from the same region of interest) have been developped, but have not yet been evaluated in extremity trauma. The subject of our feasibility study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultra-low dose CT compared to radiographs in patients consulting for extremity trauma in the emergency room. The recent implementation in our department of a scanner dedicated to low-dose explorations as well as the optimization of protocols has allowed the realization of ultra-low-dose scans since June 2017.

The outcomes are: effectiveness of the tourniquet, bleeding escapes, infection, deep vein thrombosis, pain at the tourniquet site, neurologic problems related to the tourniquet
This study aimed to translate the Ankle Instability Instrument into Turkish language, to perform a cultural adaptation study and to evaluate its validity and reliability in the Turkish population. Ankle Instability Instrument was developed to determine the ankle instability level of individuals with a history of ankle injury. Assessment of ankle instability is particularly useful in determining the complaints and functional levels of individuals with a history of functional or chronic ankle instability. It is anticipated that introducing this scale to our language will contribute to other studies in this field.
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is the most common musculoskeletal injury in sports and the rate of CAI accounts for 85% of ankle injuries. It has been estimated that 23,000 ankle sprains occur each day in the United States, representing approximately 1 sprain per 10,000 people per day and nearly one in five ankle injuries result in chronic symptoms. Numerous researchers applied mindfulness for improving the performance of various sports such as table tennis, shooting, cricket, archery, golf, swimming, and cycling. Since many of the players do not possess effective pain coping skills, they are at risk for lifelong impairment of their emotional, social, and physical functioning. Mindfulness-centered interventions may well serve to mitigate pain-related disability. Training in mindfulness meditation improves anxiety, depression, stress, and cognition. Mindfulness-related health benefits are associated with enhancements in cognitive control, emotion regulation, positive mood, and acceptance, each of which have been associated with pain modulation. Since mindfulness has been proven effective in managing various health disorders and in enhancing sports performance, our study aims to apply the mindfulness approach in rehabilitating the most common sports injury, CAI. The improvement in CAI due to the mindfulness approach will be assessed by the improvement in pain response through the Cumberland ankle instability tool, Functional ankle disability index (FADI), Visual analog scale (VAS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Y-balance test, Mindfulness attention awareness score (MAAS), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) quantitative electroencephalography (Q-EEG). This study finding will be useful in assessing the effectiveness of mindfulness in rehabilitating CAI and identify the correlation of CAI pain response with VAS & BPI, quantitative electroencephalography - Q-EEG. In this clinical trial, the investigators wish to use noninvasive methods such as quantitative EEG (electroencephalogram) to find the brainwave patterns during the different stages of mindfulness intervention (pre and post). The outcome of this study will eventually lead to the identification of a better assessment method to indicate the pain response for the appropriate physiotherapy management. The application of mindfulness technique in CAI management and the usage of Q- EEG to assess the pain response in chronic ankle injury athletes are the novel approaches of this research study.
Ankle sprain is frequently experienced by individuals participating in different sports activities. Ankle sprains have been shown to result in a decrease in level of physical activity and persistence of some symptoms for a long time. In this case, it is predicted that ankle sprains may affect the quality of life as well as functionality. Also, ankle sprain history may result in increased fear of movement, which may delay return to sports. This study aimed to examine the relationship between foot and ankle functionality, fear of movement and quality of life of elite athletes with a history of ankle sprain.
This study will be conducted to find out the effect of adding balance training on gait parameters, balance, and Sensory Interaction
Athletic injury can result in decreased athletic performance or removal from sport participation. There may also be psychological and financial impacts of athletic injury. Additionally, there can be long-term consequences, such as increased risk of subsequent injury or arthritis. Therefore, determining ways to prevent athletic injury from occurring is critical. Movement quality during sport is related to injury risk. Athletes who move poorly are generally at increased risk of injury compared to athletes who move well. Movement quality can be improved through exercise-based injury prevention training, thereby decreasing injury risk. This purposed of this study is to evaluate movement quality multiple times over the course of an athletic season in collegiate athletes who perform injury prevention training. The hypothesis is that movement quality will improve over the course of an athletic season.
This study mainly evaluated the clinical effect of total arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament in the treatment of chronic instability of the lateral ankle. For patients with chronic instability of the lateral ankle, a randomized controlled trial was used to compare the curative effect, operation time, surgical complications, postoperative recurrence rate, postoperative recovery time and patients' satisfaction of the total arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament surgery and the modified BrostrÖm surgery.
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is an increasingly prevalent condition among futsal athletes. Mobilization with Movement (MWM) is a conservative rehabilitation strategy commonly used in this condition. Even so, the effects of two MWM dorsiflexion techniques on sports performance are not known. The aim is to analyze the immediate effect of two MWM techniques on the dorsiflexion range of motion, the dynamic balance and the performance variables in futsal athletes with CAI. Also, to analyze the impact of performing them in a different order.
This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Q angle, lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA), and lower extremity isometric muscle torque on ankle sprain. Among 40 participants with ankle sprain, Q angle and LDTA measurements in both extremities were performed using X-ray images, while the muscle strength in gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and quadriceps femoris were determined with hand held dynamometer, and the muscle torque was estimated by multiplying these values with the distance to the joint center. The obtained data were analyzed by separation analysis. No significant relationship was found between the Q angle and ankle sprain (p> 0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between LDTA and ankle sprain (p = 0.01). A strong negative correlation was found between quadriceps femoris muscle strength, gluteus medius muscle strength and gluteus maximus muscle strength with ankle sprain (p <0.001, p = 0.001, p <0.001, respectively). A strong negative relationship was found between quadriceps, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscle torques with ankle sprain (p <0.001, p = 0.011, p = 0.002, respectively). As suggested by the discrimination analysis, independent variables that contributed most to ankle injury included the gluteus maximus muscle torque (MAXIMUSTORQ) (.906), gluteus medius muscle torque (MEDIUSTORQ) (. 494), lateral distal tibial angle (.436) and quadriceps femoris muscle. torque (QUADRTORQ) (. 341), respectively. In conclusion, strengthening the quadriceps femoris, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles may be suggested as an effective strategy to prevent ankle sprain. It may be helpful to pay attention to individuals with high LDTA to prevent ankle sprains.
