Filter by:Chondromalacia patella (CMP) is a common condition in patients presenting to healthcare units with anterior knee pain (1).
Chondromalacia patella(CP) is a common cause of anterior knee pain in the population under 50 years of age. CP is characterized by softening or varying degrees of damage to the patellar cartilage. The positive effects of leukocyte poor-platelet rich plasma (leukocyte poor-platelet rich plasma, LP-PRP) on cartilage repair and degenerative findings are known. However, there is no randomized controlled study on this subject in CP. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of LP-PRP on pain, function, walking distance and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in CP patients.The study is the first to investigate the effect of LP-PRP on cartilage measurement with MRI in Chondromalasia Patella. Patients with anterior knee pain who applied to the physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Kayseri City Hospital, patients with Chondromalacia patella in MRI will be included in the study. A total of 40 patients will be randomized into 2 groups. The exercise program will be applied to both groups as a home program for 4 weeks.
Purpose: to investigate the effect of proximal stability on PF OA. Methods: Thirty patients with PF OA will be recruited. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups, group A and group B . Patients in both groups will receive a traditional physical therapy treatment, but group (B) will receive additional proximal stability exercise. All patients will be evaluated for muscular recruitment strategies (onset and duration) of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair descent. pre and post-treatment.
Objective: to investigate whether females with PF OA descend stairs with different muscular recruitment strategies contrasted with similar aged healthy females. Methods: An observational comparative study will be conducted with thirty females with PF OA and 10 healthy ones. The onset times and electromyography (EMG) duration of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti muscles will be measured by quantitative EMG during stair descent task. hypothesis: Investigators hypothesize that there won't be a significant difference between females with PF OA and their matched healthy group regarding the onset times and duration of vastus medialis obliqus (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL), gluteus medius (GM), multifidus, and transversus abdominus (TrA), during stair descent task.
Radiofrequency application is a treatment method that temporarily prevents the transmission of pain in the nerve where the application is made through the heat emitted by radio waves.Partial inhibition of the functions of the nerves carrying the joint pain sensation with this method is the basis of the treatment.The intermedius genicular nerve carries the sensation of subpatellar pain due to chondromalacia.In this study,investigators aim is to investigate the effect of radiofrequency neurotomy applied to the intermedius genicular nerve, which receives the sensation of the patella, on pain and knee function in patients with a diagnosis of chondromalacia patella who have anterior knee pain that does not resolve despite conservative treatment, under the guidance of ultrasonography.
Dextrose prolotherapy is a form of treatment in which hypertonic dextrose solution is used as a stimulant solution and regeneration is increased by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms after injection. The aim of this study is to compare the dextrose prolotherapy applied with home exercise program and saline injections as a control group in patients who applied to our clinic with knee pain and diagnosed with chondromalacia patella, and to investigate the effectiveness of dextrose and saline on the job to determine the superiority of the injections to each other.
Purpose: to investigate the effect of core stability on PF OA. Methods: Thirty-one females with PF OA will be recruited. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups, group A and group B . Patients in both groups will receive a traditional physical therapy treatment, but group (B) will receive additional core stability exercise. All patients will be evaluated for pain, functional performance, and muscular recruitment strategies (onset and duration) of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair ascent. pre and post-treatment.
Objective: To compare the temporal muscle activation between females with PF OA and normal controls during stair ascent. Methods: An observational comparative study was conducted with thirty-one females with PF OA and 11 healthy ones. The onset times of multifidus, transversus abdominus (TrA), gluteus medius (GM), and vasti muscles were measured by quantitative Electromyography during stair ascent task. hypothesis: Investigators hypothesized that there won't be a significant difference between females with PF OA and their matched healthy group regarding the onset times of vastus medialis obliqus (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL), gluteus medius (GM), multifidus, and transversus abdominus (TrA), during stair ascent task.
Patellar chondromalacia is the degeneration of articular cartilage located on the posterior face of the patella and may suggest the onset of an osteoarthrosis. It predominates in sedentary people who overload the joint, as well as people with insufficiency in the extensor muscles of the knee. It is often seen between 30 and 40 years. Conservative management is the main treatment option and surgical intervention is considered as a last option in a small number of patients. A new treatment option is neuroprolotherapy where the approach is directed at the subcutaneous nerves as the source of pathology, which can lead to neurogenic inflammation and pain.
