Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of salivary Alpha-amylase as a predictor biomarker of POD in elderly patients undergoing limb bypass surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of virtual reality on rehabilitation for the patients after a major amputation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the life quality of patients (i.e. lesser pain, better spirit)? - Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the daily life function of the patients? Participants will received a virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation on the second postoperative day for ten days. The rehabilitation would be carried out two times per day and 30 minutes per training.
To gather prospective safety and effectiveness data for the C-Brace System following the standard of care.
The study is a prospective, open, bicentric and observational study. It is conducted to assess the safety and performance of the Atalante exoskeleton system with patients with lower limb paralysis. The principal objective is to assess the performance of the Atalante system in performing ambulatory functions with motor complete SCI patients characterized by the success rate in performing a 10mWT at the last session of training with the Atalante system.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy (TCOT) as an adjunct to surgical wound healing in subjects undergoing vascular surgery for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. It is the intention of this study to administer oxygen using the TCOT approach to the surgical sites of subjects undergoing the surgery and to monitor the healing of the incision as well as infection rate. The hypothesis is that oxygen delivered transdermally to the surgical site in a continuous manner for up to 28 days will accelerate the healing process and reduce the infection rate compared to the Standard of Care.
Investigator researched that the effect of trunk and lower extremity muscle strength on hamstring flexibility in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The purpose of the IM ABLE(Injuries Managed with Advanced Bracing for Lower Extremities) study is to determine if advanced (ADV) ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) will enable users to achieve greater levels of physical and self-reported function compared with conventional (CONV) AFOs for those ambulating at or above the independent community level of ambulation.
Lower limb amputation (LLA) is a major public health problem, with significant human and financial impact. Epidemiological data remain scarce in the literature. The primary objective of the equipment of lower limb amputees is to give a walking ability and autonomy that are closest to the previous state before the amputation. About microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs), there are currently three in France who benefit from support by health insurance : 3C100 knee C-leg (Otto Bock HealthCare, Duderstadt, Germany), the Rheo Knee (Ossur, Reykjavik, Iceland) and knee HYBRID 1P360 (Proteor, Saint Apollinaire, France). These prostheses have the common feature of being equipped with a single-axis prosthetic knee, controlled by a microprocessor, wich allows to adapt instantly to the user's walking speed changes. They are indicated in the proximal amputations of the lower limbs from knee disarticulation included. Their prescription can only be made by a doctor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. These prostheses are subject to four criteria attribution and reimbursement by the List of Products and Services Refundable (LPPR = Liste des Produits et Prestations Remboursables). This criteria are the ability to: have a walking speed greater than or equal to 4 km/h, walk 2km continuous, descend an inclined slop of 15% and to walk down the stairs step by step. These criteria must be validated after a minimum trial period of 15 days. These attribution criteria raise the question today of how they are measured, no recommendation defining this procedure. While many standardized assessment tests of different gait parameters are available and used in clinical research, the attribution criteria are not being built in reference to these tests. The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of two simple clinical tests, the 2 and 6 minutes walk tests, to assess functional performance in patients with transfemoral amputees with a microprocessor-controlled Prosthetic Knees (MPKs).
This Research study aims to investigate the long term effectiveness of a workstation ergonomic intervention for work-related posture and low back pain (LBP) of Video Display Terminal (VDT) workers
