Filter by:This monocentric prospective observational pilot study aims to investigate if the measurement of TcPO2 can be used as a predictor of postoperative cutaneous pain in patients with ankle surgery.
The traditional treatment of soft tissue injuries consists of the RICE protocol - rest, ice, compression, and elevation, followed for up to 72 hours after a trauma. Although designed as an immediate therapy to reduce inflammation that occurs after an acute injury, the RICE might not be the best way to promote healing due to limiting blood flow. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has recently been put forward as a possible adjuvant treatment in musculoskeletal medicine, yet limited data are available concerning its effectiveness as a first-aid intervention.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 4-week, unilateral balance exercise training program on bilateral balance and explosive power in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The participants were randomly divided into Stable Ankle Training Group (SG) (n=9), Unstable Ankle Training Group (UG) (n=9) and control group (CG) (n=10). The balance exercise training program was administered for only the stable ankle of athletes in SG and only the unstable ankle of athletes in UG, twice a week and for a 4-week duration.
Although altered biomechanics has been well documented as an impairment associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI), effective interventions targeting biomechanics with long-term outcomes measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are absent. Evidence suggests that external focus of attention (ExFOCUS), internal focus of attention (InFOCUS) feedback, and auditory feedback during movement training can alter biomechanics in other patient populations, with ExFOCUS and auditory enhancing retention of learned biomechanics. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial will determine if a 4-week (12 session) impairment-based rehabilitation program that includes feedback (ExFOCUS or InFOCUS or Auditory) can (1) decrease ankle inversion kinematics and lateral plantar pressure during walking and (2) improve self-reported function.
Deep vein Thrombosis (Deep Venous Thrombosis, DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Embolism, PE) both collectively known as Venous thromboembolism (VTE) (Venous Thrombus Embolism, VTE), is a common clinical disease, and tremendous harmful. Ankle fractures in patients requiring long-term bed braking, increase the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy as an important measures to prevent thrombosis in clinical widely accepted, however, the literature anticoagulation effect incision healing. Whether to strike a balance between the two, to develop a foot fracture in accordance with the Chinese characteristics of anticoagulant solution is we try to solve the problem. The purpose of this study is aimed at the use of oral anticoagulants and physical anticoagulant treatment knee far foot fracture patients randomized controlled studies in China.
The ankle and/or foot injuries incidence is high. Lateral ankle sprains are most common diagnosis, while fractures represent less than 15% of final diagnosis. Ankle and/or foot injuries are associated with significant morbidity in terms of pain and chronic instability. The societal cost of these injuries is significant mainly related to hospital care and sick-leave. In summary ankle and/or foot injuries are very frequent reason for emergency admission. The study hypothesis is that an accelerated nursing care system for traumatized ankle and/or foot patients is feasible and allows patients to be cared for in accordance to current medical recommendations. Such a branch should be followed by a return to work and sports within a time frame consistent with the literature. The duration of patient management in emergency department should be short, less than that observed in a historical cohort. Finally patient satisfaction should be high. In the medium term, the implementation of an accelerated nursing branch for the diagnosis and treatment of ankle and/or foot injuries should contribute to effective care and reduction of over activity in emergency departments.
Ankle sprain is very common. In France, its daily incidence is estimated at 6000. It often causes pain, a temporary period of disability and can results in recurrence and chronic ankle instability. Therefore, an early management and follow up treatment is necessary. Now, functional treatment is clinically the treatment strategy of choice for ankle sprain. It is based on rest, ice, compression, elevation and can use a functional support (like an ankle brace). To evaluate gravity and improve management, a clinical assessment delayed between 4 and 5 days post injury is necessary.
The main aim of this study was to investigate which strategy can diagnose more accurately syndesmotic instability among an existing index test (ankle CT in neutral position) and two new add-on index tests (ankle CT in a stress position with extended-knees and ankle CT in a stress position with flexed-knees). This study hypothesized that the two add-on ankle CT with stress maneuvers (CTSM) have a more accurate capability of diagnosing syndesmotic instability than ankle CT in a neutral position (CTNP) alone. The secondary objective is to investigate the participants' disability outcomes by applying the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diclofenac diethylamine 2.32 percent (%) gel applied twice daily versus diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% gel applied four times daily for 7 days in participants with acute ankle sprain.
The study will be conducted in 2 phases (A and B) using two different groups of patients in order to prove that an early prescription of radiography using the Ottawa Ankle Rules by a nurse practitioner could shorten length of stay of a patient suffering from ankle trauma at the Hospital Center of Saint-Brieuc.
