Filter by:This study aim is to examine the effect of percussion massage therapy applied to lower extremity on pain, edema, fatigue and quality of life in pregnant women.
The goal of this pre-post clinical trial is to compare the amplitude settings of three different frequency TENS modes (Conventional TENS, LF TENS, HF TENS) in patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty, both with the preoperative state and with the contralateral knee. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the electrical resistance of edematous tissue be affected and change the TENS amplitude setting? Participants will be evaluated before and after surgery. For each TENS modulation the amplitude at which tingling is felt, the current is clearly felt, and is maximum tolerated and/or muscle contraction occurred, will be documented. TENS amplitudes for all three TENS modes will be compared, both with the preoperative state and with the contralateral knee.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of exercise and classical massage in the control of knee edema in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
This study is a randomized controlled trial, with two parallel arms. The open-label study will be conducted in accordance with the helsinky statement and good clinical practice standards. The main objective is to compare the reduction of postoperative edema following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) between patients undergoing postoperative treatment with pneumatic compression (PC, experimental group) and patients undergoing postoperative treatment with antithromboembolic exercises. (AE, control group). We also aim to compare the pre-post treatment variations of joint function measurements (joint excursion), referred pain and functional capabilities. 48 patients will meet the criteria listed below will be recruited. Inclusion criteria: - total hip arthroplasty under election regime - aged between 50 and 80 at the time of recruitment, both sexes. Exclusion criteria: - obesity (BMI> 30); - other orthopedic or neurological pathologies that modify walking ability; - pathologies that modify balance (neurological and / or vestibular); - contraindications to the use of the medical equipment used in the study; - inability to understand and sign informed consent. Participants will be assigned, through a block randomization, to one of the two study groups: experimental group will undergo pneumatic compression treatment (PC), control group will perform antithromboembolic exercises (AE). For both, the treatment will last 10 working days, starting from the first post surgery day (T0). The PC will undergo two daily 30-minute sessions of sequential pneumatic compression (I-Press®, I-Tech Medical Division, Martellago, Italy) while AE will perform two supervised antithromboembolic exercises sessions daily lasting 30 minutes. All participants will carry out the antithrombotic prophylaxis in use at the department of orthopedics: drug therapy, graduated compression stocking and indirect electrostimulation (T-One Rehab®, I-Tech Medical Division, Martellago, Italy). Assessments of edema, joint range of motion, pain and functional capabilities will be made at T0 and at the end of the treatment (T1).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate a prototype of an intelligent stocking (Edema Stocking Device [ESD]), consisting of two stretch sensitive sensors, as a new method for continuously lower leg volume monitoring. The study is a scientific evaluation of the ESD compared with water displacement volumetry and tape measure.
Sitting or standing during a prolonged and uninterrupted period of time is related to negative health outcomes, such as lower extremity swelling. It is unknown if interrupting sedentary behavior by including brief bouts of standing up to the sitting time can attenuate lower leg swelling. Thus, our purpose is to examine if breaking sitting time by adding sit-to-stand transitions attenuates or even prevents lower leg swelling, compared with uninterrupted motionless standing and uninterrupted motionless sitting, using localized bioelectrical impedance raw parameters.
This study will investigate whether the recovery of muscle function of total knee arthroplasty is accelerated with the use of the gekoTM device along with its effect on reducing symptoms such as oedema and inhibition of the muscle function.
Device Efficacy: The primary efficacy assessment will be defined as successful if the edema volume will be reduced over time after using the SACS 2.0 device. Treatment and edema evaluation will be performed in comparison to a standard compression bandage. The treatment will be performed for several hours during the subject's daily rest time. The Measurements will be performed daily before treatment initiation and without the device on the leg (baseline) (T0); and after four hours of device operation. The edema volume will be measured by a calf circumference measurement.
This study will compare the effects of closed incision negative pressure dressing vs. standard of care silver dressing on lower limb swelling after bilateral primary total knee arthroplasty.
The geko™ Cross Therapy Registry - Oedema - EU (gekoTM CTR - Oedema- EU) study will prospectively and systematically collect clinical data on all device variants used in standard care pathways for edema management allowing for the monitoring of patient outcomes during a follow-up period of up to twelve months.
