Filter by:The goal of this study is to pilot test a skills-based virtual reality (VR) for acute orthopedic injury. It will measure the feasibility, signals of improvement, exploratory pain mechanisms, and user experience of an established skills-based program (RelieveVRx) for acute orthopedic injury.
In this study, syndesmosis injuries were detected in 143 of the patients who came to Atatürk University Faculty of Medicine, Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic from October 2017 to October 2021 with ankle fractures. 33 of these patients couldn't followed for various reasons. Screw or suture buttone method was applied on 110 patients. And patients were examined with lots of data to compare their results. A retrospective study was conducted.
The purpose of this study was to analyze if a low ankle dorsiflexion range is associate with dynamic knee valgus in youth basketball players.
Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel) has been recently studied as the active agent utilized in various nerve block. Due to its liposomal form allowing for extended delivery, Exparel has been used in various peri-operative nerve blocks among multiple orthopaedic specialties in hopes of achieving improved pain control and decreased opioid use. This study compares the efficacy and effect on opioid use of peripheral nerve blocks and local infiltration with and without Exparel in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery.
Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a continuous gastrocnemius plane block for perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery under elective general anesthesia.
Ankle injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries account for 10% to 30% of all injuries and 5% to 20% of all time-wasting injuries. Athletes involved in sports such as football, basketball, and volleyball are particularly at risk for such injuries, largely due to the running and jumping activities involved. Basketball has one of the highest injury rates of any team sport, with 10 injuries in a 1000 hour period.
This study aims to 1) characterize skeletal muscle pH during/after tourniquet use and 2) investigate any relationship between intraoperative tourniquet use and postoperative functional measures and patient-reported outcomes.
The main purpose of this study is to find out if scanning the foot using a 3D scanner influences the effectiveness of custom made insoles, compared to the more traditional approach of taking a foam-box impression cast of the foot. Both of these methods are currently used as standard care in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) Orthotic Department. In this study, insoles will be manufactured either from a direct 3D scan of the foot, or from a foam-box impression cast, and a series of questionnaires will be used to measure any changes in foot pain and foot function. The results from this study will be used to develop an information resource for both patients and Orthotists which will fill gaps in our current knowledge and hopefully guide us further in providing the best possible care for future patients who require insoles.
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in basketball, especially involving repetitive maneuvers such as acceleration, deceleration, jumping, and landing. The incidence of ankle sprain is 40% in female basketball players and 75% in male basketball players. It is also known that chronic ankle instability (CAI) develops in 20-40% of cases. The effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players have been investigated in the literature, and it has been stated that more studies are needed on the subject. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players playing in the university team. The hypothesis of the study is that there is a difference between core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility values of basketball players playing in the university team with and without chronic ankle instability.
