Filter by:Backwards walking has been shown to improve balance and walking in patients who have knee Osteoarthritis. It is not known if these benefits may also be seen after surgery in patients who have had a hip or knee replacement because of Osteoarthritis. This study will look to see if it is possible to conduct a bigger study into how effective backwards walking may be after joint replacement. Patients who come to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford for a hip or knee replacement will be invited. They will be placed into one of two groups at random: a group where they have a course of physiotherapy plus a backwards walking programme or a group where they have a course of physiotherapy. The physiotherapy will last for 12 weeks and those who take part will have two study assessments. The first will be before any treatment and patients will complete five measures and also be issued with a simple tick box diary to complete over the 12 weeks. The second assessment will be after the treatment and will involve the same five measures and the diaries will be collected in. Participants at this assessment will also be asked if they would like to take part in an interview for the study. This is to see what the patients thought of the study. During the study the researcher will record things such as how many patients say 'yes' to the study and how many participants drop out of the treatment, to understand if a bigger study could take place.
Comparison of surgical technique for the execution of bone resections in total knee arthroplasty. Used technique are: a non-invasive extramedullary technique (EM technique) based on the use of inertial sensors for cutting guides positioning and conventional technique (IM technique), based on the use on intramedullary stem. Our hypothesis is that the EM technique based on the use of inertial sensors leads to a reduction in the number of outliers equal to or greater than 20% compared to the outliers obtained with the conventional technique.
To compare the efficacy of intra-articular pulsed radiofrequency to intra-articular steroids in patients with moderate-severe painful osteoarthritis of the knee.
A study to assess safety, tolerability and clinical effects of single and repeat dose intra-articular administration of UBX0101 in patients with moderate to severe painful knee osteoarthritis (OA).
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of balance exercise on dynamic balance and physical function in 80 patients with different grades of primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
The goal of this prospective, randomized study is to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing primary TKA after photographing final knee range of motion immediately post-operatively and sharing these photographs with patients at their first follow-up appointment versus a group that does not see a photograph.
This is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to assess the efficacy of oral solution of hyaluronic acid mixture (A+ HA(tm)). During 8 weeks treatment period, there were three follow-up visits requested (Week 2, Week 4 and Week 8).
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Allogenic Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells Therapy
Randomized, Double-blind, 12-month, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 100 outpatients . Intervention platelet rich plasma( PRP) prepared from 60 ml of blood by adding novel step of filtration to manual centrifuge step to achieve 7 times concentration. the efficacy was compared with administration of hyaluronic acid. Subjective Womac scores ,6 min pain free walking distance as well objective assessments MRI ,synovial fluid assessments were made out .Absolute counts of platelets as dose was evaluated to be effective in alleviating symptoms in early knee OA.
This study intends to determine the Effects of Electromyographic biofeedback on performance of vastus medialis oblique muscle in knee osteoarthritis.
