Filter by:In the postoperative period of a total knee arthroplasty, subjects present limitations of articular amplitudes, swelling, pain and functional limitations. Functional rehabilitation is unanimously recommended, including the use of cryotherapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the methods of application of cryotherapy. Thus the objective of the study is to compare 2 cryotherapy techniques associated with a classic rehabilitation on the improvement of mobility, swelling, pain and functional parameters. The 2 cryotherapies were a compressive cryotherapy and a so-called classic cryotherapy by cold pack.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) nested in a prospective cohort study is to investigate whether physical activity (PA) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) can be optimized by the use of an activity tracking device including motivational feedback in comparison with activity tracking without feedback. Furthermore, the project will investigate the predictive value of PA level prior to TKA/UKA for the length of stay, return to work, and quality of life. The main hypothese of the study are: RCT study: - Using an activity tracking device, including motivational feed-back on PA show a superior short-term effect on increased PA (Total counts; primary outcome measure), physical functioning, return to work, and quality of life in comparison with no motivational feed-back from the activity tracker, defined as 'care as usual', in TKA and UKA patients - Using an activity tracking device, including motivational feedback, will have a superior effect on step counts, activity types and pain compared to the standard care, in TKA and UKA patients Prospective cohort: - PA prior to TKA or UKA can work as a predictive measure for function and quality of life following surgery - PA prior to TKA or UKA can work as a predictive measure for the length of hospital stay and return to work Patients will be randomized to activity tracking and motivational feed-back by gamification for patient self-mobilization (Intervention-group) or 'care-as-usual' including activity tracking without motivational feed-back (Control-group). Patients not eligible and/or willing to participate in the RCT study, will be offered to participate in a prospective non-interventional cohort study.
The purpose of the study is the rate of return to sport (regardless of the sport envisaged) after a minimum of 3 years after total knee prosthesis.
This prospective observational study aims to collect and analyse data on functional outcomes, quality of life indicators, and costs in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (knee replacement) surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to investigate the effects of virtual reality (VR) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does VR have effects on pain, kinesiophobia, and function during the early rehabilitation period of patients who have undergone TKA - Does VR contribute to the success of exercise treatment after TKA All the patients included in the study were informed about the disease, the goals of post-surgical rehabilitation, the conditions to be considered after TKA and exercises. Sitting on the side of the bed and mobilization in or out of the room with a walker were provided with the postoperative 1st day exercises. The patients were discharged 2.5 days after surgery. The patients in both groups were taught an exercise program for home practice. In addition to the exercise program, the virtual reality application was applied before the exercises to the VR group. The second evaluation was made 3 days after the end of the treatment in both patient groups. Researchers compared VR and exercise to see if pain, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, knee range of motion, function, and quality of life had changed.
This study intended to examine the effect of a physical rehabilitation program incorporating Kinect-based virtual reality on gait characteristics, functional ability, and physical activity level in adolescents with hemophilic knee arthropathy.
1. To develop a new type of knee joint pressure detection device and demonstrate its feasibility 2. To analyze individual differences of knee ligament tension using the new device and explore the influencing factors of ligament tension 3. To explore the correlation between knee ligament tension and postoperative knee function
Safety of an eight-day treatment with ibuprofen after primary hip and knee arthroplasties.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare pain management techniques (femoral nerve block, intra-articular block, none) in TKA patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there differences in postoperative outcomes? - Does preoperative quadriceps muscle strength predict early functional ability? Participants underwent TKA and assessments. Researchers compared pain management techniques to assess effects on postoperative outcomes and identified the importance of preoperative quadriceps muscle strength as a predictor of early functional ability. Further research is required to refine postoperative pain management strategies.
The FRAIL scale will be applied to patients at the preoperative visit. According to the FRAIL Scale, patients will be divided into 3 groups as Non-frail (Group I), pre-frail (Group II) and frail (Group III). After routine preoperative preparation and monitoring, patients will be given spinal anesthesia. Demographic data and intraoperative data of the patients will be recorded. Patients will be transferred to the post-operational post-operative care unit (PACU) and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) will be applied to each patient with a standard protocol. In the postoperative period, the need for analgesics will be recorded for 24 hours, and if additional analgesics are needed, they will be recorded. Pain scores of the patients will be evaluated for 24 hours.
