Filter by:This clinical trial aimed to involve patients aged 40-85 years who had been experiencing knee pain for at least 6 months and had received a clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis through radiologic imaging. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received a 3-week intra-articular injection of 15 mg/ml ozone, while the second group received a 1 ml intra-articular injection of betamethasone. All patients were evaluated before treatment, as well as 4 and 12 weeks after the first dose of treatment. The study evaluated treatment efficacy using the Visual Pain Score (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). KOA is a common condition that can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Kinesio Taping reduce pain in individuals with KOA? - Can Kinesio Taping improve the range of motion and functional performance in those suffering from KOA? Participants will be asked to: Attend assessment sessions at the outpatient Physical Therapy clinic at Taibah University. Undergo Kinesio Taping three times over 12 days. Complete specific physical tests and questionnaires before and after the intervention period to measure their pain and mobility. Researchers will compare the group that receives Kinesio Taping with the group that receives sham (placebo) taping to see if there are significant differences in pain reduction and improvements in movement and daily function.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the knee and ankle muscle architecture and plantar pressure distribution differences in knee osteoarthritis (OA) women with healthy women. Methods: Fifty women with knee OA (Mean age=52.11±4.96 years, mean BMI=30.94±4.23 kg/m2) and fifty healthy women (Mean age= 50.93±3.78 years, mean BMI=29.06±4.82 kg/m2) were included in the study. Ultrasonography was used to evaluate Rectus Femoris (RF), Vastus Medialis (VM), Vastus Lateralis (VL), Peroneus Longus (PL), Tibialis Anterior (TA), and Medial Gastrocnemius (MG) muscle thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length, and fat thickness. The plantar pressure distribution was evaluated using the Digital Biometry Scanning System and software (DIASU, Italy).
REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ (CORI Surgical System) is a computer-assisted orthopedic surgical system. CORI Surgical System is designed to aid surgeons in planning and executing a procedure involving bone preparation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures. CORI Surgical System is comprised of a console control unit, optical tracking camera, primary and secondary input displays (tablet and optional display monitor), and foot pedal. The CORI Surgical System software consists of a patient and user management module, a surgical planner, and an intra-operative cutting module. Yuanhua Orthopaedic Robotic Systems, KUNWU, is an open-platform robotic system that does not restrict surgeons in choosing the type of prosthesis implant. It is the only Orthopaedic Robotic System in Hong Kong registered with the HK Department of Health Medical Devices Control Office (MDCO) as an open platform system. Unlike other manufacturer's implant-based robots (closed systems), Yuanhua's objective is to provide maximum flexibility in choosing the best implant for each patient. Closed system robots not only impact the surgeon's choice of implant for an individual patient but also affect the hospital's implant purchases over multiple years without any negotiation power on pricing. This business model is often referred to as a "razor and razor blade" model. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of open and closed platform robotic-assisted TKA procedure in achieving post-operative leg alignment as compared to procedures using standard instruments. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the safety and performance of the robotic-assisted TKA procedure up to 12 months after surgery as compared to procedures using conventional manual instruments.

In this study, black cumin extract oil was used in elderly individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). The effects of foot reflexology and knee massage on pain and fatigue symptoms. It is aimed to examine and research which of these two applications is more effective.The study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, included a total of 150 participants. The data consists of participants who receive outpatient treatment in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit at a university hospital, are over 65 years old, and have no problems with their perception after the Mini Mental Test. After randomization, participants were divided into five groups, with 30 participants in each group. Groups; It consisted of 1) Reflexology with Black Cumin, 2) Placebo Reflexology, 3) Knee Massage with Black Cumin, 4) Placebo Knee Massage and 5) Control groups.
This study is a randomized controlled trial to assess whether the implementation of a TKA Personalized Outcome Prediction Tool to set expectation, in addition to targeted interventions to address patients with poor baseline mental health and poor physical function, improves satisfaction at 1-year (when compared to standard of care).
The goal of this multi-center randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of pre-operative exercise therapy and education for patients awaiting knee replacement surgery on subjective knee function, patient satisfaction and enablement compared to standard care. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better subjective knee function compared to standard care one year after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to a higher level of patient satisfaction compared to standard care one year after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better patient enablement compared to standard care six weeks after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better objective knee function compared to standard care six weeks after surgery? Participants will be randomized stratified by age (≤ 67 years, > 67 years) to either pre-operative supervised individualized exercise therapy combined with education two sessions/week (intervention group) or to standard care (control group). The intervention will be continuously ongoing for at least eight weeks from the point of decision for surgery until as close to the surgery as possible.
The purpose of this study will be to compare the combined effect of using Kinesio taping versus interferential current with an exercise program on knee pain, function, knee range of motion, knee muscle strength, and functional mobility in chronic knee osteoarthritis.
