Filter by:This study is a multicenter non-randomized single-blind controlled trial, aimed at investigating the feasibility and efficacy of hydrotherapy based on IVR, for the patients with TKR(Total Knee Replacement), on the function, gait performance, postural balance control, and knee edema reduction. The protocol was draft according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT ) checklists. A total of 96patients with total knee prosthesis will be recruited and divided into three groups, to receive a traditional rehabilitation (TR) program, traditional hydrotherapy (TH)or hydrotherapy through immersive virtual reality (HIVR) using Bts-Nirvana. Assessments will be performed at baseline and at the end of treatment.
To compare the efficacy of intra-articular pulsed radiofrequency to intra-articular steroids in patients with moderate-severe painful osteoarthritis of the knee.
This is a randomized control trial to determine if there is a measurable change in voluntary quadriceps activation, RTD, pain, and function before and after a single session of manual physical therapy. The researchers will utilize a sample of convenience with consecutive sampling at the Brooke Army Medical Center physical therapy clinic for patients referred for knee osteoarthritis. As is standard of care, patients will be provided a medical intake form and a clinical outcome measure commensurate with their primary anatomic region for which they are seeking physical therapy (i.e.: Lower Extremity Functional Scale for hip, knee, or ankle pain). If patients choose to partake in the study, they will complete the consent form and the initial physical therapy evaluation will be conducted. They will then be provided an appointment for data collection at the Army-Baylor Center for Rehabilitation Research biomechanics lab at the Army Medical Department Center and School. The treatment group will receive one 30-minute session of orthopedic manual physical therapy targeting the knee joint and soft tissues with complementary exercises targeted at their impairment. The control group will receive a 30-minute class on knee OA diagnosis, prognosis, various treatment options, and will conclude with a question and answer with the researcher. Both groups will receive their intervention from a board-certified physical therapist in the Army-Baylor Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship program. At the conclusion of formal testing, the patient will be provided standard physical therapy care as deemed appropriate by their evaluating physical therapist. Thus, all subjects, regardless of their assigned group, will receive the same standard of care for their knee pain.
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative knee condition of the knee which is treated symptomatically. Knee cartilage tissue has little regenerative ability With the developments in regenerative medicine, stem cells might also be used in knee OA. Recently, adipose tissue has been identified as means for autologous mesenchymal stem cells (aMAT) using non-enzymatic method. Lipogems® is FDA-approved closed-system and directly producing ready-to-use aMAT. Some observational studies showed its potential in knee chondropathy. With no clinical trial done as yet, the investigators will hereby study the comparative efficacy of corticosteroid (current practice) versus Lipogems® in patients with knee OA. The knee MRI changes, clinical and patient-based outcomes will compared between baseline and throughout till 6 months after treatment. This study aims to show the comparative efficacy of Lipogems® as compared to corticosteroid in knee OA patients and to demonstrate its cartilage regeneration potential, which will ultimately deter surgery.
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).
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) plus autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis.
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Allogenic Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells Therapy
