NCT ID: NCT05799235 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Telerehabilitation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - TAR Program in Adolescents

TAR
Start date: February 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in adolescents and its prevalence has increased over the years, especially with more adolescents engaging in physical activities and competitive sports. Standard of care for these injuries would be an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) to allow return to function and sports and reduce the risk of post-traumatic arthritis and recurrent knee injuries. Rehabilitation post-ACLR is crucial to optimise surgical outcomes and prevent re-rupture of ACL. However, good compliance to rehabilitation is often a challenge for patients and healthcare providers. Telerehabilitation for this group of patients may help to augment rehabilitation by improving patient compliance and overcome barriers to behavioural change often observed in traditional in-person physiotherapy. It can also allow remote monitoring and provide feedback to patients during exercises. In addition, it is a useful tool during pandemic when in-person visits are not possible. Currently, very few studies have evaluated the use of telerehabilitation with remote monitoring for ACLR, especially in adolescents. The use of home-based telerehabilitation post ACLR may be key to improving patient motivation and exercise compliance in adolescents. For this pilot study, the intervention group will undergo the TAR program in addition to standard care, which involves self-administered exercises in initial 12 weeks post ACLR using a mobile application. The mobile application will detect key landmarks on the body for human pose estimation. Participants will be able to perform their exercises with real-time feedback given, allowing for proper execution of the exercises. Exercise adherence, range of motion and pain scores will be tracked via the application and therapists are able to monitor via the online dashboard. The control group will undergo standard in-person physiotherapy. Primary aim of this study is to examine exercise adherence in TAR program versus standard care post ACLR in adolescents. Secondary aims of this study are to examine the effects of TAR program on knee strength, range, function, quality of life, treatment satisfaction, self-determination and number of face-to-face rehabilitation sessions required after ACLR.

NCT ID: NCT05470790 Recruiting - Injuries Clinical Trials

Arabic Version of Marx Activity Rating and Knee Stability in Sports/Cutting-Pivoting Ability Scales

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common knee ligament injuries, causing joint instability and impairments. Besides being challenging, this type of injury greatly affects the athlete's passion and wellbeing, and it is associated with several risk factors. Injuries to the ACL are estimated to occur within 80,000 to 250,000 young, active and healthy athletes each year. This cross-sectional observational study aimed at translating, adapting cross-culturally, and investigating the psychometric properties of the Marx Activity Rating Scale (MARS) and the Knee Stability in Sports/Cutting-Pivoting Ability (KSS/CPA) scale in Saudi patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. For this study, a convenient sample size of 100 athletes with ACL injuries and healthy participants will be selected from different Saudi hospitals and clubs. Study participants will be informed about the study and a consent form will be obtained before they participate. A number of scales will be used as outcome measures, including the MARS, KSS/CPA scale, Knee Injury, and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Lysholm Knee Score, and International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form. Internal consistency of both the MARS and KSS/CPA scales will be tested using Cronbach's alpha. A construct's validity will be measured by Spearman's correlation coefficient. Content validity can be determined by examining whether there are floor and ceiling effects. A significance level of 0.05 will be used to determine whether the data is significant. Ultimately, the study will help patients with ACL injuries to make informed decisions about their treatment, empower healthcare professionals to understand patients' concerns, and facilitate research.

The purpose of this research is to gather information on how safe and effective Gel-One is in alleviating knee pain following ACL surgery.

NCT ID: NCT02895607 Completed - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Evaluation of Outpatient Surgery in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions With Hamstring Hospital

DIDTGENOU
Start date: December 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Care in ambulatory surgery (CA) is growing in France, despite lagging behind other countries in North or US Europe. Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive surgery eligible for CA. Currently 71.8% of knee arthroscopy are made in this context. However ligamentoplasties anterior cruciate are still carried out predominantly in conventional hospitalization (HC) with a median of 3 to 5.5 days of stay. Two recent prospective studies French single-operator shows the feasibility of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in ambulatory: no serious events were recorded, the risks are comparable to those of a HC. However, this support requires a structure and a coordinated network between different medical and paramedical (surgeons, anesthetists, nurse frame, City nurse, doctor, physiotherapist). The objective of the study is to evaluate (i.e. EPP or "feasibility") ACL reconstruction in CA in hospitals, multi-operator.

NCT ID: NCT01919658 Terminated - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Effects of Femoral vs Saphenous Nerve Blocks on Function After ACL Repair

Start date: July 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the study is to compare motor strength in knee extension between two groups of patients. One group receiving a proximal thigh block of the femoral nerve, and one receiving a distal thigh block of the saphenous nerve. The secondary objective is to compare the pain relief and functional outcomes in these two groups.

NCT ID: NCT01194505 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Ultrasound Guided Obturator Nerve Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACL)

Start date: June 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Anterior Cruciate Ligament ACL reconstruction can be performed under the combination of posterior lumbar plexus block plus sciatic nerve block. The investigators can have the same outcome by performing instead of posterior lumbar plexus block more peripheral nerve blocks. More specifically under the combination of sciatic nerve block plus femoral nerve block plus obturator nerve block.

NCT ID: NCT00492609 Completed - Knee Injuries Clinical Trials

Medical and Economical Evaluation of Computer-assisted Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

Start date: May 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

A poor outcome in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is often related to tunnel position. The researchers believe that improving the accuracy of tunnel position will lead to an improved outcome in ACL surgery. The researchers' purpose is to perform a controlled study on a series of 500 patients in two groups: group I (250 cases) using conventional instrumentation and group II (250 cases) using navigation (Surgetics ACL Julliard protocol).

NCT ID: NCT00490594 Active, not recruiting - Knee Injuries Clinical Trials

SeriACLâ„¢ Device Trial for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction

Start date: June 2007
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The SeriACL device was developed as an alternative to an autograft (i.e., tissue that is taken from a patient's own body) or an allograft (i.e., tissue that is taken from a cadaver) for ACL reconstruction. The SeriACL device is made of silk yarns, knit and processed with SeriCoatâ„¢ surface treatment which makes it easier to wet the material. The SeriACL device is designed to be a temporary support structure to replace the torn ACL and to stabilize the knee joint following surgical repair. It is designed to use the body's own healing process to regenerate the patient's own new ligament tissue. As the new tissue grows and the support structure is needed less over time, the SeriACL device is bioresorbed (i.e., broken down) by the patient's body. The SeriACL device is designed to be installed with standard surgical techniques for ACL repair. This study is designed to test the safety of the SeriACL device in primary total ACL repair in patients with a torn ACL. The study will evaluate whether repair of the ACL with the SeriACL device will return the knee to normal function and what, if any, side effects will occur.
