Filter by: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.
The goal of this prospective study is to compare two different knee replacement robots. This study will look at patient reported outcome measures and data collected during the operation. The main questions this study aims to answer include: - Will the patient reported outcomes differ between the two groups? - Will the intraoperative data differ between the two groups? Participants will undergo total knee replacement with one of the two robots, complete standardized surveys, and have x-rays taken.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical effectiveness of a Chronic Care Model (CCM) named Risk Assessment and Management Program on Knee OA (RAMP-Knee OA) in adults with knee Osteoarthritis (Knee OA) at 52 weeks. Participants will be screened for eligibility to participate. After confirming eligibility, participants will complete the baseline assessment and be randomized into one of the following groups (n=114 for each group): 1. RAMP Knee-OA group 2. Usual care group Outcomes will be measured at baseline, week 16, week 32, and week 52.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by unsuccessful repair of joint damage resulting from stresses in any of the synovial joint tissues. Symptoms include pain (initially only after movement), joint stiffness, limitation of joint movement, feeling of insecurity in the joint, and difficulty walking. The diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis can be easily made with a detailed history and a comprehensive physical examination. Radiographic examinations are used to support clinical findings and exclude other possible pathologies. The main purpose of treating knee osteoarthritis is to reduce pain and make daily life easier. Since there is no standard treatment method, the patient's treatment must be individualized by taking into account age, comorbidity, severity of the clinical picture, patient preferences and cost of treatment. Conservative treatment includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, and the optimal treatment should be applied as a combination of these two methods. Patient education, lifestyle modification, exercise, different physical therapy modalities (TENS, Interferential current, ESWT...), acupuncture are some non-pharmacological methods. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which is considered within the scope of conservative treatment, started in the seventies with the practice of breaking ureteric stones and has become one of the physical therapy modalities used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases. Considering the historical development of ESWT, it has started to be used as a therapeutic modality in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in recent years. The process, which started with animal experiments, continued with human studies, and evidence is presented that ESWT reduces knee pain and contributes to functionality. It is noteworthy that there are few studies and their short follow-up periods. In the light of these studies, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of ESWT treatment, which will be applied together with exercise, on pain, functionality and walking distance in individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, in comparison with the control group receiving sham ESWT.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Robotic Assisted, functionally aligned vs Custom Made Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which implant/philosophy yields better clinical outcomes? - Which implant/philosophy yields better satisfaction? - Which system is more OR efficient? Participants will be followed for 2 years postoperatively.
The aim of this clinical trial study is to compare the efficacy of Hyaluronic injection in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve pain symptom, joint stiffness, and joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve knee performance status and health-related quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis Participants will be allocated to receive one treatments; either Hyaluronic acid or normal saline injections after receiving glucocorticoid injection. Researchers will compare the Hyaluronic acid with normal saline injection to see if the former show superior effect in terms of pain, joint stiffness, function, as well as health-related quality of life comparing with placebo.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of superimposed neuromuscular electrical stimulation with active contraction on physical function, muscle and joint structure, functionality, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
