Filter by:The goal of this study is to translate Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index into Urdu and test its authenticity and coherence among the Pakistani community with Shoulder instability. Also check its correlation with Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire, Rowe score , Walch-Duplay score and Visual Analogue Scale.
Hypermobility is more than normal joint laxity, mobility, and range of motion. It is characterized by increased laxity and fragility of connective tissues. Symptoms from hypermobility can begin at any age and affect women more than men. People are at higher risk than other people. It is stated that hypermobility is an important factor in orthopedic injuries and diseases. Individuals with hypermobility have more frequent orthopedic complaints and the problems are usually idiopathic and chronic. Studies have reported that proprioception and musculoskeletal reflex function may be affected independently of symptoms in hypermobile individuals. Therefore, evaluating hypermobility is very important in preventing hypermobility-related problems and injuries and developing appropriate treatment methods. Although the Beighton score is the most commonly used scoring method to determine hypermobility, it may be insufficient to determine hypermobility of the upper extremities. The Upper Limb Hypermobility Assessment Tool (ULHAT) has been reported to be one of the most appropriate scoring methods for assessing upper extremity hypermobility in the literature. The aim of this study is to adapt ULHAT to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.
The purpose of this study is to assess cartilage strain and contact areas following glenohumeral instability compared to healthy individuals.
People with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate altered gait or walking mechanics which cause people to walk on the outside of their foot and increases the risk of additional ankle sprains, abnormal cartilage strain, and early joint degeneration. Evidence indicates that common treatments for CAI do not impact gait, leaving unresolved impairments that can lead to lifelong disability. Recent lab-based gait retraining with visual and auditory feedback has immediately improved walking mechanics. However, real-world training is hypothesized to generate long-term changes by incorporating short, frequent training sessions over a variety of surfaces. These are key training parameters to produce lasting change. Pilot data using real-world vibration feedback (RW-VF) suggest that a single session immediately improves walking mechanics with changes lasting for up to 5 minutes. Despite promising initial results, there remains a critical need to determine the impact of multiple RW-VF sessions as an initial step to developing a protocol capable of long-term improvements. The purpose of this proposal is to determine the extent to which 2-weeks of RW-VF restores gait biomechanics in those with CAI. Twenty people with CAI will be enrolled and complete a two-week gait retraining protocol with vibration feedback. Walking mechanics before, immediately after, and 1 week and 4 weeks following the training will be compared. These contributions can be significant as positive results will support a paradigm shift in treatments for people with CAI and lay the foundation for large scale clinical trials aimed at optimizing long term gains. The outcomes of future research have the potential to advance evidenced based rehabilitation interventions not only for people with CAI but also for people who have sustained a variety of musculoskeletal injuries as there is strong evidence that other lower extremity pathologies cause lifelong limitations, including changes in walking mechanics which lead to degenerative changes to other joints.
Investigators designed this randomized controlled trial to compare the clinical outcomes of open and arthroscopic modified Broström operation for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
Post-spinal headache is divided into 3 according to the severity scale. It is divided into 3 groups as mild, moderate and severe according to the presence of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that prevent daily activity. It has been reported that CSF leakage may be higher due to the weakness of the regional dural sac in primary connective tissue diseases with joint laxity and isolated joint hypermobility. Joint laxity is scored according to the level of motion in 5 different joints and a maximum of 9 points is obtained. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether joint laxity contributes to the development of post-spinal headache by questioning the correlation between joint laxity examination score and postspinal headache in patients with post-spinal headache.
Investigators designed this prospective cohort study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
About six months after patella stabilizing surgery postoperative restrictions are commonly lifted and patients may consider whether a return to activity/sports is feasible. Currently, there are no evidence-based criteria to determine a patients readiness for sports and/or activity (RTS) following stabilizing surgery. The purpose of this project was therefore to investigate the feasibility of a test battery to evaluate knee function in postoperative follow-up evaluation - and in RTS decisions - for patients with patellar instability. Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument 2.0 and Norwich Patellar Instability Score is being translated and validatend in a Norwegian population. Furter is patients experience of living with patellar instability explored.
The plantar plate is an important static stabilizer of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints, and disruptions of the plantar plate can lead to significant instability and lesser toe deformities.Our study proposes an inexpensive and versatile method for plantar plate repair
The purpose of the study is to investigate Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and its effect on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and recovery time. The hypothesis is that people with JHS will experience increased DOMS when compared to non-hypermobile people. The results this study may assist and add to the body of knowledge when treating and exercising patients with JHS, as considerations can possibly be made when treating this population. Subjects with JHS may experience greater DOMS and require more time to recover between treatment sessions.
