Filter by:Ankle sprain is the most common sprain. Their care entails a high cost due to the incapacity for work that it generates. An early and timely intervention for the treatment of ankle sprain reduces the days of disability and functional recovery is faster. Strategies must be generated to provide timely care in rehabilitation. Telerehabilitation is a viable option to partially solve this problem. The purpose of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of functional ankle recovery after a telerehabilitation program in patients with sprain in the first level of care. Material and method: Controlled clinical trial, 92 subjects with grade 1 and 2 ankle sprain will be included; they will be divided into two groups, with randomized allocation. One group will receive usual care (n = 41) for ankle sprain and another will receive regular care plus telerehabilitation (n = 41) through a digital platform course, it will consist of video and written instructions. Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) will be measured at baseline and weekly, until completing 4 weeks. Group experience: The group is trained for the development of the contents and the rehabilitation program, with clinical experience in evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of ankle sprain.
The nursing profession is highly affected by exhausting positions, namely prolonged standing and walking, which are the second work-related factor hindering foot health. In fact, the most common work-related disorders among nurses and nursing students are those related to lower limbs, particularly the foot and ankle. Such disorders, if not adequately prevented, contribute to the decrease in quality of life and high student drop-out rates. To effectively develop preventive interventions among students, namely self-care actions, it's important to assess with detail the relationship and influence that clinical settings have on foot health. According to some authors, the biomechanics of many foot disorders are still poorly understood, and more studies are needed. In this sense, the aim of this study is to understand the influence of prolonged standing and walking positions on nursing students' foot health. Moreover, what's the relationship between the podiatric profile (regional force and pressure exerted on the foot) and related signs and symptoms.
Investigators designed this prospective cohort study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.
Post-market clinical follow-up study on the Monster Screw System
Introduction: To compare the acute effects of different stretching methods on ankle joint range of motion (ROM) in older adults. Methods: A total of 78 subjects aged 65 years and older were randomly divided into three groups. After the 5-minute walk, the randomly assigned method was applied. Static Stretching Group; static stretching in 3x30sec, PNF Stretching Group; PNF contract-relax in 3x30sec and Roller Massage Group; roller massage in 3x30sec was performed. Immediately after the application, 10 minutes and 20 minutes after application, the range of motion of the ankle joint was measured in the weight-bearing lunge position.
Approximately 40% of acute ankle sprain would develop into chronic ankle instability (CAI). Chronic ankle instability is characterized by pain, repeated sprains and giving way. Recently, the pathomechanical impairment, sensory-perceptual impairment and motor-behavioral impairment have been documented in the chronic ankle instability model. Previous research revealed that compared to the control subjects, people with CAI had lower pressure pain threshold (PPT). This increased mechanosensitivity of the neural tissues around the ankle might account for pain and dysfunction in people with CAI. Also, the other study indicated that in subjects following ankle inversion sprain there is greater restriction of knee extension on the injured side compared to non-injured side in the slump test with the ankle plantar flexion and inversion, which may suggest the restriction in mobility of the common peroneal tract. However, the effects of neurodynamic intervention, which addresses the mechanosensitivity problems, in people with CAI are still unclear. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of additional neurodynamic intervention on the ankle range of motion, mechanosensitivity, balance performance and self-reported function.
Obesity is a global health problem. It changes the measurement of the human body and makes a big change to move the body. The increased weight and mass change the way the limbs and whole body generate and react to force Excess fat also interferes with joint-muscle interactions that are important for functional capacity and postural balance The tendency to increase the thickness of the abdomen contributes to anterior movement of the COM of the body. The purpose of the study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of weight on foot stability in children.
Over the course of a year from the start of the research study, twenty subjects will be randomized evenly into one of two groups after an informed consent is obtained: a traditional tight rope fixation group or a tight rope fixation with an anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) repair augmentation with an internal brace group. Subjects in both groups will acquire a bilateral WBCT pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists office. A within group statistical analyses will compare the volume of the syndesmosis acquired by the WBCT at 6 weeks.
Lack of current consensus on the therapeutic management of low-grade osteo-ligament injuries in ankle trauma in children. Several types of immobilization are evaluated in the literature, with different conclusions. Some teams recommend a functional treatment similar to the adult (with or without strict immobilization), others remain on standard rigid immobilizations. The goal of the study is to simplify and homogenize the therapeutic management of low-grade osteo-ligament injuries in ankle trauma in children.
