Filter by:The participant population for this study will be a convenience sample of 40 active duty soldiers and cadets at West Point, New York (NY) who are recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and are cleared to return to run by their medical provider. Two groups will be utilized in this pre-test, post-test, single-blind randomized controlled trial study design. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients recovering from ACLR benefit from running gait retraining to adopt a forefoot strike pattern and 5-10% increase in step rate when compared to a traditional walk to run program.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectivity of adductor canal block performed the day after total knee arthroplasty surgery in reducing pain and improving walking ambulation ability and muscle strength.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common diseases which causes pain and disability with increasing age. In developed countries, it is said to be one of the ten diseases which decreases functionality most.
This is a phase 3, multicentre, prospective, single-blind on principal efficacy criterion, 2 parallel groups, randomized, controlled clinical study comparing efficacy and safety of actiTENS versus systemic level 2 analgesics recommended for the treatment of moderate or severe, nociceptive, chronic pain in patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee.
The most commonly prescribed mobility aid, the walking cane, is often underloaded and therefore fails to reduce knee joint loading and provide symptomatic relief for those with knee osteoarthritis. For this study, a novel walking cane with haptic biofeedback was designed to improve cane loading. The purpose of this study was twofold; 1) to determine the effectiveness of a novel walking haptic biofeedback cane to encourage proper cane loading compared with a conventional cane, and 2) to determine whether scale training or haptic feedback influences short term retention of cane loading. It is hypothesized that haptic biofeedback would increase cane loading (H1) and decrease knee loading (peak knee adduction moment (H2) and knee adduction angular impulse (H3)) when compared to naïve cane use.
Multi-center study to include up to 600 subjects with knee osteoarthritis in unilateral or bilateral knees treated with Regenexx® SD in the osteoarthritic knee/s. Synovial fluid drawn from patients' knee/s prior to receiving Regenexx-SD treatment will be correlated with their clinical outcomes after treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical outcome after two total knee endoprosthesis designs Medacta GMK Sphere and Medacta GMK PS. Primary outcome measures KOOS, Forgotten Knee Score and range of motion. Single-center, randomized trial
This study will be an open-label trial to determine the functional effects of bilateral IA injections of Zilretta into knee joints of 70 subjects with bilateral KL grade 2-4 symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). Measurement and evaluation of outcomes at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 weeks will allow assessment of short and long-term effects, consistent with Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) recommendations.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure applied as a common solution to overcome limitations produced by advanced stages of severe gonarthrosis. The procedure has high prevalence, high associated costs, and is considered to be cost-effective. Rehabilitation is essential to optimize outcomes. However, in clinical practice, the length of rehabilitation for each patient may be highly variable, and the programmed times may lack the necessary objectivity. Current limitation of resources and increasing prevalence make essential to generate strategies to optimize surgical results, so that the use of resources of the health system is efficient without detriment to the patient's benefit. For this purpose, objective and pragmatic information must be available, and should be based on scientific evidence in order to assist in making clinical decisions. Indeed, a number of demographic, biomedical and psychosocial factors have been identified as predictors of TKA results (i.e weight, age, expectations...). Some of them have been associated with the need for hospital resources after surgery. However, most researches base their predictions in retrospective studies, which are limited in the type of variables that can be used (clinic history), quality of registries, and limitations of retrospective designs. On the other hand, most of prospective researches base their predictions in a limited number of outcomes. To overcome this limitations, this project has been designed as a prospective observational study with two observations of each patient. - The primary goal is to implement a multi-variable prediction model of TKA outcome, so that the procedure become optimal in two aspects : patient recovery (social and economic benefit) and use of health system resources (economic benefit). The implementation requires a processing of the information sampled through various algorithms and innovative data processing in this field, based on data mining and machine learning techniques. This will be used in search of the model with the greatest predictive capacity. - As a secondary objective, information extracted from patients both in the final stages of the condition, and in the medium term after the intervention will allow to study the functional and psychosocial reality of the subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
Total knee replacement surgery is commonly performed for patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis. However, 20% of patients continue to experience pain after surgery. There is currently no standardized pain management protocol for pain after total knee replacement. Cooled radiofrequency ablation has been used successfully to alleviate spin-related pain and has recently been approved by the FDA to treat chronic knee arthritic pain. This pilot study aims to collect preliminary data on the use of cooled radiofrequency ablation in patients undergoing total knee replacement.
