Filter by:Different musculoskeletal conditions affect people all over the world and were considered by the WHO to be the leading cause of disability in 4 out of 6 regions in 2017, with an increase in the associated burden and impact on society expected in the coming years. The knee is a complex joint, vulnerable to various types of injury. The most common are ligament, meniscus and cartilage injuries of different etiologies. After surgery, as a result of the reflex inhibition of motor neurons and immobilization, there is rapid atrophy and weakness in the different associated muscles, affecting proprioception, muscle strength and extension, clearly compromising health-related quality of life. Through partnership and collaboration between health institutions and academia, the rehabilitation program will take place on an outpatient basis in a supervised manner, allowing its effectiveness to be assessed using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures. These instruments are a rapidly developing topic and it is essential to understand whether the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures used are sufficient to measure the results perceived by patients with lower limb pathology who take part in rehabilitation programs. The different Patient-Reported Outcome Measures will be applied before and after the program.
The ultimate goal of treating children with lower extremity differences is to improve quality of life, optimize function, and maximize participation by addressing the physical, social, and psychological effects of lower extremity differences. In the pediatric field, research has focused on the Body Functions and Structures area of the ICF framework, such as radiographic measurements of limb alignment and length, postoperative complications, and recovery time. Priority targets for children/parents are better captured in the Activity and Participation areas of the ICF framework. Developed in Canada, the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)was created to evaluate outcomes for gait-related interventions for children with cerebral palsy based on a wide range of children's and parents' goals. It was also developed for other childhood conditions associated with lower extremity disorders. The present study aimed to determine the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the "Gait Outcomes Assessment List for Children With Lower-Limb Difference Parent Version/ Child Version" in Pediatric Rheumatologic Diseases.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries of the knee are common in youth soccer players, and show an even higher prevalence in female soccer players. Clinical practice guidelines recommend ACL injury prevention programs (ACL-IPP) to reduce injury risk, yet implementation in amateur youth soccer is low, reducing actual real-world effectiveness. This trial is a pragmatic effectiveness trial for ACL injury prevention for amateur youth soccer players, using a knowledge translation intervention with the Knowledge-to-Action Framework.
