Filter by:This is a study of the muscle stabilizers of the elbow with respect to the prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries in pitchers. Pitchers are assessed at spring training and end of season for approximately 5 years. Pronator, flexor digitoum superficialis (FDS), and wrist flexion strength will be measured and correlated with upper extremity injuries and time missed from pitching. The investigators will also be measuring loss of strength over the season. The goal is to learn whether strength in these muscles prevents UCL injuries and finally whether these muscles can be strengthened to avoid such injuries.
The purpose of the study is to explore the microbiology in war-associated wounds of hospitalized patients from the Syrian armed conflict. Cultures collected from acute wounds with clinical signs of infection will be analyzed.
Patients for upper limb surgeries who are candidates for infraclavicular block will be screened. Two techniques of infraclavicular block will be compared. Measured outcomes are performance times, block onset times, patient satisfaction, quality of block, and requirement for supplementary analgesia.
The objectives of this pilot study are to: (1) evaluate acute effects of biofeedback and mindfulness training on pain, anxiety, and stress during a hand therapy visit and (2) gain understanding of patient perceptions, preferences, and experiences with mind-body interventions.
There is a treatment method called negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) that is well established and used for the treatment of wounds. The method involves the application of a wound dressing through which a negative pressure is applied. Due to a plastic film overlaying the wound the risk of wound contamination is reduced. NPWT is considered to promote wound healing and prevent infection and has previously been used in the treatment of acute war associated wounds with satisfactory results. The aim of this study is to compare NPWT with conventional wound dressings in the treatment of war-associated extremity wounds and evaluate which method is more effective.
Primary null hypothesis: • Keeping a personal diary has no effect on upper-extremity disability (assessed w/ PROMIS [Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System] upper extremity) 8 weeks after injury. Secondary null hypotheses: - Keeping a personal diary has no effect on avoidance of painful activities (assessed w/ PROMIS pain interference) 8 weeks after injury. - Keeping a personal diary has no effect on symptoms of depression (assessed w/ PROMIS depression) 8 weeks after injury. - There are no factors associated with upper-extremity disability 8 weeks after injury.
The purpose of this study is to determine the functional outcome of repairing the pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle in subjects operated for a distal radius fracture (DRF) with volar locked plating.
The hypothesis of this study is to determine whether the technique of intramedullary locking nail presents clinical results comparable to the technique of locking plates, based on the Constant Score.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block simulator is effective for the training of the axillary block technique.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of the addition of core stabilization exercises to a traditional upper extremity rehabilitation program in upper extremity injuries.
