Filter by:There have previously been no validated a specific foot and ankle patient-reported outcome measures in Turkish. The Visual Analogue Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS-FA) will translated and adapted into Turkish language. Thereafter, 200 patients who had foot and ankle disorders or surgery will complete VAS-FA questionnaire set on two separate occasions. Analyses included testing of floor-ceiling effect, internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity.
Sport activity induces a relevant risk for lower extremities especially ankle and foot structures. Athletes who participate in basketball, volleyball and soccer are predisposed. Self-reported outcome instruments have been used by clinicians to assess the treatment interventions effectiveness directed at patients with pathologies and identify impairments, disabilities and quality of life. The assessment of musculoskeletal injuries can be problem without clinical, radiological examination and on scores from patient-based questionnaires. The information from these questionnaires provides us good evidence if there is not interpretation of obtained scores. The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) is a self-reported outcome instrument for patients with foot and ankle disorders available in English, German, and French. The FAAM has a sports subscale and activity of daily living (ADL) subscale that can assess the activities that requires higher level. The aim of this study is to translate the FAAM into Turkish language, perform a cross-cultural adaptation, and investigate the reliability, validity of the translated version in athletic population
Ankle joint self mobilization.
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of new imaging technology termed "3D fluoroscopy" will lead the surgeon to change the position of the fractured bones to a more accurate position.
This study aims to use 3D printing personalized plate to locate the position in which the K-wires would be drilled to save operation time and decrease the number of times that the K-wires are drilled.
There is a high incidence of re-operations after surgery for ankle fractures. According to the Danish Fracture Database (DFDB) the re-operation rate, excluding hardware removal, is almost 10%. We are conducting a study on the efficacy of an evidence based algorithm for the treatment of ankle fractures.
The ankle joint is often affected by injuries, especially lateral sprains, often leading to chronic instability. Joint mobilization techniques seem to influence the sense of joint positioning. The objective of the study is to compare mobilization techniques in the balance of athletes with chronic ankle instability. A randomized clinical trial with participants allocated in three groups: Talocrural manipulation, mobilization with movement and placebo will be assessed in their primary endpoints and secondary balance and dorsiflexion range of motion respectively.
To compare the results of multi-position MRI scans for ankle ligaments and tendons to clarify how to obtain imaging data of different ankle ligaments and define severity of injuries to calculate the rate of correct diagnosis, thereby developing a reasonable surgical treatment in clinical practice.
After an ankle injury like distorsions, fractures or arthrodeses, or congenital defects ankle support limit the range of motion in the joint, help pain relief, control loading of the injured tissues and promote recovery of a normal gait pattern. Gait analysis is applied in orthopedics, sport science and rehabilitation. Numerous measure systems and methods enable accurate analysis of human movement. The study is set to describe and compare the gait analysis of two modifiable stability boots (Ortho® Tri-Phase and the VACOped®) on the standard walking parameters during two conditions (level and ramp walking) in healthy adults and draw comparisons with a control indoor shoe.
To verify whether X-ray combined with MRI is able to carry out correct fracture classification and postoperative evaluation in patients with ankle fractures.
