NCT ID: NCT06442956 Not yet recruiting - Heat Stress Clinical Trials

Effect of Rapid Heat Stress on Firefighters Musculoskeletal Injury Risk

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

This study will examine the effect of heat stress on factors that influence musculoskeletal injury risk in firefighters. Participants will attend 4 data collection sessions. 1: informed consent, screening, and familiarization. 2: pre-tests (strength, balance, and movement quality). 3: heat stress (rapid or gradual) followed by post-tests (strength, balance, and movement quality). 4: heat stress (rapid or gradual) followed by post-tests.

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: NCT04554212 Recruiting - Wounds and Injuries Clinical Trials

Blood Flow Restriction Training After Patellar INStability

BRAINS
Start date: September 9, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research study is designed to allow health care professionals and researchers to answer many questions about whether a new type of physical therapy called blood flow restriction training (called BFRT) will improve recovery for those with patellar instability.

NCT ID: NCT04199013 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

Comparison of Ropivacaine With or Without Fentanyl in Spinal Anaesthesia for Lower Limb Surgeries

Start date: January 10, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

There has been a wide variety of use of anaesthetic agents along with adjuncts during subarachnoid block. The quest for attaining adequate analgesia and anaesthesia has always been shadowed by the concurrent deleterious effect of the anaesthetic agent. Ropivacaine as an anesthetic agent has proven to meet the desired goals of anaesthesia while minimizing the potential side effects. The addition of different adjuncts has shown to enhance the analgesic property, prolong the duration of sensory blockade and decrease the dose related adverse effects of the local anaesthetics. Fentanyl in this regards has also shown some promising effects. Thus we compare the use of ropivcaine as a single agent versus ropivacaine along with an adjunct (Fentanyl) to attain the desired anesthetic effect while minimizing the associated side effects.

Evaluation of Improved Preparation Time to a Coverage in Patients With Acute Wounds by Use of VistaCare® Versus Dressings

VISTACARE01
Start date: November 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Primary objective: Demonstrate that in patients with acute leg wounds with skin defect, VistaCare® accelerates the formation of a quality granulation tissue and reduces preparation time to a cover gesture. Secondary objectives: - Evaluate the success of hedging gesture - Assess the quality of the bud by colorimetry - Assess tolerance - Collect medical and economic data on the care of patients included - Evaluate the quality of life of patients - Assess patient comfort - Evaluate the ease of use for the caregiver
