Filter by:The goal of this type of randomized controlled trial, employing a blinded evaluator methodology, to verify the clinical efficacy and safety of MNK therapy. This aims to provide a reference for clinical practitioners and AAS patients in their decision-making process. Participants will randomly allocated into two groups using a random number table method, with forty patients in each group. The experimental group (Group 1) underwent MNK therapy to release the superficial fascia, while the control group (Group 2) received conventional acupuncture treatment.
It has been shown that especially adolescent female athletes have a very high risk of injury compared to males. Gender differences (anatomical, biomechanical, neuromuscular and hormonal differences) contribute to the increased risk of injury. Basketball, one of the sports preferred by adolescent girls, brings with it high risks of injury due to the high participation rate among team sports. The occurrence of lower extremity injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and patellofemoral pain during dynamic activities (e.g., landing, running, etc.) has been associated with dynamic knee valgus, a pattern of lower extremity malalignment. At the same time, weakness of the core muscles and inadequate ankle dorsiflexion joint range of motion also contribute to the injury. The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between landing biomechanics, core endurance and ankle dorsiflexion angle in adolescent female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus.
The primary objective within the current study is to compare the acute and chronic effects of eccentric training and IASTM on the dorsiflexion ROM. To reduce the risk of Achilles tendinopathy, stretching and eccentric (lengthening) exercises are postulated to improve ankle dorsiflexion. An eccentric exercise lengthens an active muscle while it is under load. Consequently, eccentric calf muscle exercises can also increase ankle dorsiflexion through an increase in calf muscle strength. For the above mentioned reasons, a combination of stretching exercises and eccentric (lengthening) exercises are suggested as preventive intervention to increase ankle dorsiflexion. The biggest goal of IASTM is to remove scar tissues and facilitate a return to normal function following soft tissue recovery. These Techniques, eccentric stretching and IASTM works towards bringing back the normal range of motion and strength, allowing individuals to regain mobility and return to their usual activities and we will find out the better option from these.
Effect of perineurial dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine on popliteal nerve block duration for pediatric, ankle or foot surgery
Ankle sprains represent a prevalent pathology among the pediatric population that can result in residual effects when treated incorrectly. However, there is a lack of scientific studies defining the most appropriate therapeutic approach. The hypothesis is that patients treated solely with general measures, without external device support, experience a faster recovery compared to those treated with ankle immobilization. A clinical trial will be carried out by randomly assigning patients to either the functional bandaging group or the control group (general measures only). Prospective follow-up will be carried out by a online survey send by SMS, checking the functionality of the injured ankle using 'the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C)', in addition to pain control and patient satisfaction with the treatment.
This randomized controlled trial, conducted at the Pakistan Sports Board in Lahore from March to August 2023, investigates the impact of neuromuscular training with K-Tape on pain, range of motion, and balance in footballers with grade I and II ankle sprains. A total of 30 male participants aged 18-30, engaged in sports for at least one year with weekly training durations of 15-20 hours, are included in the study through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. The participants are divided into two groups: Group A (Control) receiving closed-chain exercises and Group B (Experimental) undergoing neuromuscular training with K-Tape. Data collection utilizes the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, the Star Excursion Balance Test for dynamic balance, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, and a goniometer for range of motion. Participants undergo three sessions of treatment per week for four weeks. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25, aiming to provide insights into the efficacy of neuromuscular training with K-Tape as a rehabilitation strategy for ankle sprains in footballers.
TRAUMED - a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Traumed® gel in patients with acute ankle sprain.
Ankle sprains represent a prevalent pathology among the pediatric population that can result in residual effects when treated incorrectly. However, there is a lack of scientific studies defining the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Our hypothesis is that patients treated solely with general measures, without external device support, experience a faster recovery compared to those treated with ankle immobilization. A clinical trial will be carried out by randomly assigning patients to either the functional bandaging group or the control group (general measures only). Prospective follow-up will be carried out by telephone, checking the functionality of the injured ankle using 'the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C)', in addition to pain control and patient satisfaction with the treatment.
This study investigates the difference in dynamic Q-angle of patients with chronic ankle instability and those without.
