NCT ID: NCT06297317 Completed - Sport Injury Clinical Trials

Longitudinal Changes in Achilles Tendon and Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle Architecture During a 156-km Ultradistance Trail Running Event

Trailstiff
Start date: November 11, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aimed to assess the longitudinal changes in triceps surae muscle-tendon architecture to an ultra distance trail running. Experienced trail runners (N=55, 78% men, age: 45.2 [13.5] years) participated in a 156-km trail run (6000m climbing) consisting in six 26-km laps. The resting architectural properties of triceps surae muscle-tendon were measured using ultrasound imaging for Achille tendon cross-sectional area (AT CSA), medial gastrocnemius muscle pennation angle, thickness, length and fiber length. Measurements were performed the day before the race (Baseline), at 52-km (T1), at 104-km (T2), at 156-km (T3) and 12 hours after the race (H12).

NCT ID: NCT06293469 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Extremity Fracture Lower

Accelerated Flap Coverage in Severe Lower Extremity Trauma

FLAP ATTACK
Start date: July 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if accelerated flap coverage compared to standard flap coverage timing leads to improved infection-related complications in patients with open fractures and/or dislocations below the knee. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either a flap within a goal of 72 hours of injury or standard of care flap timing for the institution. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 6 months after randomization. Components of the composite outcome will be hierarchically assessed in the following order: 1) all-cause mortality, 2) amputation related to injury, 3) re-operation for infection and/or flap complication (flap compromise, partial and/or complete flap failure), and 4) days in hospital, defined as days in an acute in-patient hospital (i.e., not rehab or nursing facility).

NCT ID: NCT06162962 Completed - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

Oncological and Functional Outcomes in Lower Limb Osteosarcoma Pediatric Patient

Start date: January 1, 2000
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Retrospective analysis of specific characteristics of complications and long-term oncological and function outcomes in lower-limb osteosarcoma pediatric patients.

NCT ID: NCT06127316 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Traumatic Lower Limb Injury

The Effects of Heel Distraction Height on Foot Loading With Carbon Fiber Custom Dynamic Orthoses

CDODistract
Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) and unloading ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have shown varying levels of success in reducing forces acting on different regions of the bottom of the foot during gait. CDOs and unloading AFOs have shown differing offloading capabilities across different regions of the foots (hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot) which may be related to a distinct difference between CDOs and unloading AFOs: CDOs do not suspend, or distract, the foot away from the footplate. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CDOs and heel distraction height (the distance between the heel and the footplate) on foot loading during gait as well as patient reported pain, comfort, and smoothness.

NCT ID: NCT05701618 Recruiting - Leg Injury Clinical Trials

Psychologically Informed Education Intervention for Adolescents With Atraumatic Lower-Extremity Injuries

Start date: January 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized prospective study assessing the impact of psychosocial factors on pain and physical performance among adolescents with leg pain. A set of psychosocial surveys assessing activity-related fear, stress, anxiety and depression will be completed by the participants. Participants will then complete self-report questionnaires assessing pain, quality of life and functional ability followed by an assessment of physical activity levels assessed with a wearable activity monitor;. Participants will then be randomized into one of two intervention groups (psychologically-informed video education group and a control group). After participants receive their assigned educational intervention, the self-report questionnaires will be re-administered. Participants with leg pain pain will then complete follow-up assessment of their psychological beliefs, pain, quality of life, physical activity levels, and self-reported functional ability through REDcap at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.

NCT ID: NCT05574556 Completed - Bone Fracture Clinical Trials

Electromiographic Analysis of the Quadriceps After Trauma

Start date: January 10, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The lower limb is the region most affected by fractures in the human body. The magnitude of the trauma can cause injuries to structures adjacent to the fracture, promoting joint instability and consequently predisposition to osteoarthritis. The treatment of fractures can be performed conservatively or surgically, and one of the consequences of the surgery is arthrogenic muscle inhibition, which presents itself as a marked muscle weakness due to inhibition of the central nervous system that prevents adequate muscle activation. However, recruiting the quadriceps is the most commonly used goal to determine the patient's return to activities. Physiotherapy has several resources for the functional activation of the quadriceps muscle, such as neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES), verbal command of muscle activation and neuromatrix techniques. Thus, the objective of this study will be to analyze, by means of electromyography, the myoelectric activity of the quadriceps muscle in individuals undergoing physical therapy intervention, affected by some fracture of the lower limb.

NCT ID: NCT05568784 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Quadriceps Muscle Atrophy

Straight Leg Raise Continuation

SLR
Start date: April 11, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this study is to compare quadriceps muscle activation in patients recovering from lower extremity injury, such as an ACL tear. Specifically, the main objectives are as follows: - Determine the effects of ankle positioning on quad muscle activation during straight leg raise exercises performed while the patient is lying on his or her back - Determine if there is a difference between ankle positioning on quad muscle activation during straight leg raise exercises performed while the patient is lying on his or her back, comparing healthy versus post-operative participants

NCT ID: NCT05456295 Recruiting - Healthy Clinical Trials

Comparative Effect of Carbon Fiber Orthosis Cuff Design on Preference, Comfort, and Mechanics

AFOCUFF
Start date: May 17, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) consist of a proximal cuff that wraps around the leg just below the knee, a posterior carbon fiber strut that stores and returns energy during gait, and a carbon fiber foot plate that supports the foot and allows bending of the posterior strut. The proximal cuff is a primary interface between the patient and the CDO and may influence comfort, preference, limb mechanics and loading, and effective stiffness of the CDO. The important role of the proximal cuff has not been examined. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CDO proximal cuff design on patient reported outcomes, limb mechanics and loading, and CDO mechanical characteristics.

NCT ID: NCT05285020 Not yet recruiting - Muscle Injury Clinical Trials

Antigravity Treadmill With Alter G on the Postural Stability of Traumatic Lower Limb Injuries

ALTERG20
Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This prospective randomised study aimed to test the investigators's hypothesis that anti-gravity treadmill therapy has beneficial effects on postural stability tests over a standard rehabilitation protocol in patients who have suffered traumatic injuries of the lower limb, demonstrating an improvement in the Biodex platform's values. The total of 30 patients participated in this study (n=30). There were 15 subjects in control group and 15 in experimental group.
