Filter by:Regional anesthesia is a common clinical anesthesia method, and regional anesthesia-assisted sedation play a central role in promoting patient comfort and relieving anxiety. With increasing age, elderly people experience changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and increased drug sensitivity. Ciprofol has advantages in adverse events such as hypotension and respiratory depression. There are fewer studies on the recommended dosage of ciprofol-assisted sedation for intrathecal anesthesia in elderly patients. The aim of study is to identify the median effective dose(ED50) of ciprofol-assisted sedation in elderly patients undergoing spinal anesthesia
This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of usual care and dual task program in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty surgery. It is aimed to evaluate pain intensity, disability level, mini mental status, coordination, reaction time and functional status of the patients. The study will be conducted with volunteer patients who are followed up by the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of Bursa Cekirge State Hospital and who have undergone total knee arthroplasty surgery. It is aimed to evaluate at least 26 patients for the study. The first evaluation will be performed 6 weeks post-operatively and the second evaluation will be performed 2 months after the treatment.
For patients with a history of knee surgery, especially knee arthroplasty, the persistence of abnormal gait kinematics is a frequently encountered issue that can hinder their ability to return to normal daily living. Muscular imbalances and leg length discrepancy (LLD) following knee arthroplasty can impact a patient's ability to return to a normal gait pattern. In a study of 98 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty, leg lengthening on the side of the operative knee was reported in 83% of patients as determined by comparing pre- and postoperative leg-length radiographs (Lang JE et al; J. Arthroplasty. 2012;27(3):341-346). LLD can lead to compensations in surrounding joints, muscles, and myofascial structures. Compensatory musculoskeletal changes, including changes in pelvic tilt and curvature of the lumbar spine can alter gait mechanics, lead to mechanical low back pain, and increase the risk of degenerative disc disease (Sheha EDM et al; J. Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. 2018;6(8)(e6)). In addition, neurologic compensations can occur and include changes in muscular timing and muscular activation patterns. The mainstay of gait rehabilitation following knee surgery is physical therapy (PT) (O'Connor DP et al; J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2001;31(7):340-352), where LLD can be addressed with heel lift therapy. The use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) to address chronic compensatory musculoskeletal changes following knee surgery in order to improve gait has not been extensively studied. Both OMT and PT have been shown to improve gait imbalances in a variety of neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Prader-Willi syndrome. Previous studies of these neurologic conditions have demonstrated increases in walking velocity, step length, stride length and range of motion of the lower extremities following OMT. It remains to be determined whether OMT can improve gait pattern abnormalities caused by compensatory musculoskeletal patterns that persistent after traditional postoperative knee rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to determine if OMT of chronic, compensatory, musculoskeletal issues associated with knee surgery improves gait parameters. In addition to providing objective parameters to assess and validate OMT, future patients recovering from knee surgery might benefit from OMT
In this prospective, randomized controlled trial; To evaluate the effect of kinesiology taping applied for edema on pain, edema and functions in the early period after total knee replacement.Patients who underwent total knee replacement will be included in the 10-day follow-up study.Patients will be divided into three groups by randomization. A conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, which is routinely applied to all groups, will be applied. Thus, no patient will be left without treatment. The first group will be considered as the control group, which will be given only a conservative physiotherapy program. In addition to the conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, the 2nd group will be taped without applying tension with a plaster and will be considered as the sham group. In the third group, in addition to the conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, kinesiotaping for payment will be applied.
Determine the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on routine targeted surgeries. Five surgical procedures were considered : cataract surgery, hip and knee arthoplasties, coronary revascularisation by angioplasty and definitive cardiac stimulation. The objective of the study is to quantify changes of these procedures in 2020 and in 2021 (up to June) compared to 2019 taking into account their annual evolution and according to the type of operation (primary or reoperation/revision) and emergency status, if applicable.
Prospective evaluation of patient compliance and prescribed home exercise program using MotionSense wearable system during recovery from primary total knee arthroplasty.
Background The CORKA study was developed in response to a commissioned call by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme for research into a functional home based rehabilitation programme for patients who may be at risk of poor outcome after knee arthroplasty. Design The CORKA trial is a prospective individually randomised controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The study will also include a qualitative and a health economic analysis. Participants will be randomised to one of two arms, 'home-based rehabilitation' or 'Usual Care'. Those in the usual care arm will receive a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6 sessions of physiotherapy as delivered locally, e.g. class, one to one, etc. Those in the intervention arm will receive 7 sessions of a functional rehabilitation programme over a 12 week timescale. The intervention will be delivered using physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants in the participants' home. Participants will be followed up at 6 months and 12 months
Background: Early rehabilitation following knee arthroplasty is an integral part of medical management which reduces the time of patient's stay at hospital and eliminates the risk of post-operative complications. The absence of consensus on the most efficient post-operative rehabilitation strategy and shortage of practices based on evidence lead to seek new therapeutic solutions. Therefore the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the PNF method in assessing functional performance in early stage patients following knee arthroplasty Material and methods: The study was conducted among 96 patients (66,34 years ±7,29) who were qualified to total knee arthroplasty. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the control group standard rehabilitation protocol was implemented while post-operative treatment in the study group based on PNF method. All the patients were tested on the day of admission to the hospital and after completing a 10-day rehabilitation program. Structural and functional parameters of the operated knee (muscle strength, range of motion, circuit measurements) as well as functional abilities (Staffelstein Score, Lequesne Index) were evaluated. Key words: gonarthrosis, knee replacement, osteoarthritis, PNF method
Valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are established treatment options for patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.However, the clinical outcomes of these treatment modalities for unicompartmental OA have become subjects of debate.
