Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different arm positions on muscle activity during single leg squat.
In the context of prescribed opioids, research suggests that increased exposure is associated with long-term opioid use. Orthopedic surgeries are associated with the prescribing of more opioid narcotics than any other surgical specialty, particularly for Total Knee Replacement surgery, which is associated with severe post-operative pain. The proposed project is a randomized clinical trial to explore the efficacy of our Total Knee Replacement Opioid Reduction Program (ORP) vs. Treatment As Usual (TAU) in the reduction of opioid use following total knee replacement surgery.
This study perform to investigate the relationship between quadriceps femoris (QF) strength, QF thickness, femoral cartilage thickness, knee function, balance, kinesiophobia and gait of the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different focusing methods on muscular activity
Evaluation of the performance and safety of the C Scope Visualization System
The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether 4 weeks of daily virtual-reality-based rehabilitation at home improves disability in the early stages of recovery from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery compared with standard care.
Compare of the effectiveness of the use of ropivacaine and midazolam by intraarticular vs epidural administration on post-operative analgesia after isolated arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring autograft.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of one week of knee-joint immobilization on muscle size, strength, neuromuscular function, and brain function. In addition, the effects of two different interventions (i.e., neuromuscular electrical stimulation and action observation/mental imagery) throughout immobilization will be determined. Following the immobilization period, participants that have lost strength will be rehabilitated with twice weekly resistance training sessions, and sex-based differences in rehabilitation timelines will be examined.
The purpose of this study is to report the feasibility and determine the initial effects of 18 sessions of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on retention and transfer of normalized gait biomechanics and improvements in indicators of early post-traumatic osteoarthritis development in those with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at 6 and 8-week posttests.
Adolescents and young adults who hurt their knees playing sports or doing recreational activities can develop joint damage, muscle weakness, inactivity, and weight gain which might lead to an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA), a disabling joint condition in their later lives. Despite knowing that muscles and joints benefit from exercise, there is no proven exercise-based treatments to delay or even halt the onset of OA after a knee joint injury. The current study will assess if a physiotherapist-guided intervention called Stop OsteoARthritis (SOAR) improves knee muscle strength, physical inactivity, knee-related self-efficacy, and knee-related quality of life in people at risk for osteoarthritis due to a past knee injury. A total of 70 former knee injury participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will immediately start a 16-week SOAR program, while the second will wait for 9-weeks before starting an 8-week SOAR program. Trained physiotherapists will deliver the SOAR program with videoconferencing. The study hypothesis is that participating in the 8-Week SOAR program will improve the knee muscle strength, physical activity levels, knee-related self-efficacy and knee-related quality of life in people discharged from regular healthcare after a sports knee injury. The findings will help researchers understand the ideal length of the program for a future clinical trial in real-world settings.
