Filter by:This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare the effects of melatonin vs. placebo in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This RCT aims to study the effects melatonin has on sleep quality after TKA. Patients will be blinded to their respective groups and will be instructed to take either 5mg melatonin or a placebo pill (Vitamin C) for 6 weeks postoperative. Sleep quality surveys will be administered preoperatively and post-operative week 6, 90-days and 1 year. Poor sleep quality is a common issue faced by patients undergoing TKA. The goal of this study is see if melatonin can improve postoperative sleep quality, and if so, does improved sleep quality correlate to improvements in other postoperative outcomes.
Post-market, prospective, non randomized, open label, multicentre, clinical study analysing outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty with SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid with or without SMR Cementless Finned Short Stem
Comparison between two minimally invasive approaches to the hip joint.
Tha aim of the study is to investigate the effects of core stabilization and sensorimotor exercise program on range of motion, proprioception, balance and functional status in patients with total knee arthroplasty. The study lasts prospective randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly divided into sensorimotor training (SM,n=17) and core stabilization training group (CS,n=19). The exercise training program was administered for home exercise as 3-5 times a week and for a 6-week duration.
The purpose of this study is to examine if a weight loss program designed for adults after knee replacement improves weight loss, physical activity, pain, and function, as well as if the program is cost effective, as compared to a chronic disease self-management program.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of "hiking poles exercise" on lower extremity muscular strength, knee range of motion, and quality of life in elderly patients underwent total knee arthroplasty
Evaluation of the clinical and radiological outcome of uncemented femoral stems according to their proximal coating. Retrospective study
Rehabilitation technology is more and more implemented in conventional therapy to increase the dosage of therapy and/or increase patient's motivation towards therapy. In orthopedic as well as neurological rehabilitation it is important to exercise with enough intensity and repetitions to improve functional performance in activities of daily life, and consequently quality of life. At the moment, not all (rehabilitation) technologies are adapted towards the wishes and needs of both patients and therapists for everyday use in the clinical setting. Also, not all technologies are fit for independent use by the patients. Researcher of PXL have developed a Kinect-based system (i.e. i-ACT) for rehabilitation and performed supervised research with i-ACT in neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and older adults. Within this research, patients will exercise with i-ACT under supervision of their therapist during weekdays, but in the weekends they will be motivated by the medical staff to perform their exercises with i-ACT. The medical staff will be present for safety reasons, but the patient is asked to use and exercise with i-ACT as independent as possible. The aim of this research is to explore to which extend i-ACT is suitable for semi-independent use by patients in orthopedic or neurological rehabilitation.
To evaluate the performance of the CORI™ KNEE TENSIONER as an accessory to the CORI™ Surgical System.
Background: REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ (CORI Robotics) is a computer-assisted orthopaedic surgical navigation and burring system. CORI Robotics is designed to help surgeons in planning and executing certain types of knee surgery involving bone preparation. These types of surgery are called 'unicondylar knee arthroplasty' (UKA) and 'total knee arthroplasty' (TKA). Purpose: This study is being carried out to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CORI Robotics in TKA procedure. The data collected will be used to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CORI and to register CORI in China mainland. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of CORI in TKA procedure in achieving post-operative leg alignment as compared to procedures using conventional manual instruments. Research participants / locations: 140 research participants will be recruited from up to 8 sites in 3 countries globally (Australia, China Mainland, Hong Kong and New Zealand). There will be 70 patients having TKA using CORI and 70 patients having TKA using conventional procedure.
