Filter by:The purpose of this investigation is to compare the effects of a combined hip activation and core stabilization training home exercise program (HEP) versus a hip activation training HEP alone on lower extremity (LE) frontal plane mechanics in healthy individuals. Specific Aim 1: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on the Forward Step-Down test (FSDT) when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP as compared to a hip activation training HEP. Specific Aim 2: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on the peak external knee abduction moment when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP to a hip activation training HEP. Specific Aim 3: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on gluteal and core muscle surface electromyography (sEMG) when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP to a hip activation training HEP. Specific Aim 4: To determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between HEP compliance and change on the FSDT, peak external knee abduction moment, and sEMG.
In this pilot study the investigators are testing whether an injury prevention program will help improve quality of movement and decrease number of injuries in collegiate women's lacrosse athletes. The primary purpose is to determine whether an injury prevention program including individualized movement instruction along with an educational program is better than an educational program alone for improving movements that can increase risk of injury and decreasing number of injuries. The investigators will recruit women's lacrosse athletes from the San Diego State University women's lacrosse team. Enrolled participants will be divided up into two groups of 10 individuals. Both groups will participate in an injury prevention educational program including a lecture component with pictures and videos, and a practice component in which athletes will be provided with group instruction on how to perform the activities and then will have an opportunity to practice all activities. In addition to the educational program, athletes in the individualized movement instruction group will be provided individualized feedback on their movements when performing activities from the injury prevention program during 3 sessions throughout the season. The primary outcomes that will be evaluated include lower body movement during a jumping and balance task as measured using a 3D motion capture system. The investigators hypothesize that participants who receive the individualized feedback in addition to the education program will display greater improvements in movements that increase injury risk when compare to the education only intervention group.
The Study design will be randomized clinical trial.This study will be conducted in Pakistan Sports Board, Lahore. The study will be completed within duration of eight to ten months after the approval of synopsis. Sample size will be thirty tennis players.Non-probability Convenient sampling will be used to recruit the individuals for the study and then the randomization will be done by lottery method to divide the individuals into two strengthening exercise group. One group is given Plyometric strengthening exercise plan for 5 weeks along with Tennis specific training and on the other hand isotonic strengthening exercise plan for 5 weeks with Tennis specific training and after that their pre and post values will be measured on SPSS version 25. The objective of this study is to Determine Comparative Effects of Plyometric and Isotonic Strengthening Exercises on Speed, Agility and balance of lower extremity among field Tennis Players
The purpose of this study is to determine if activation training of the hip musculature affects muscle activation and frontal plane mechanics in healthy individuals. Specific Aim 1: Determine whether performance on the forward step-down test (FSDT) changes after an eight-week home exercise program (HEP) focused on hip musculature activation in healthy individuals. Specific Aim 2: Determine whether surface electromyography (sEMG) hip musculature changes following an eight-week HEP focused on hip musculature activation in healthy individuals. Specific Aim 3: Determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between compliance on the HEP and changes in FSDT scores in healthy individuals. Specific Aim 4: Determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between compliance on the HEP and sEMG changes in hip musculature activation in healthy individuals.
After dividing the patients into two groups, sedation is performed with propofol and remimazolam, respectively, after spinal anesthesia. Compare the patient's body temperature change after surgery.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of rTMS applications at different current frequencies (low frequency / intermittent (intermittent) theta burst (iTBS)) in stroke patients on lower extremity motor development, physical function and quality of life, and to compare the effectiveness of these modalities.
This study aimed to examine trunk and lower extremity biomechanics among children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). It was targeted to pioneer including biomechanical changes into treatment if detected in the trunk and lower extremities of children. Voluntary participants meeting inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the LUTD group (n=43) and the healthy group (n=43). No treatment was applied to participants and the same evaluation methods were used in both groups. Trunk muscle strength, muscle endurance, posture, flexibility, and pelvic floor muscle activity of participants was evaluated with stabilizer pressurized biofeedback unit, sit-ups and modified push-ups test; trunk flexors endurance test and Modified Biering Sorensen Test; Posture Screen Mobile And Foot Posture Index; sit-reach-test and Beighton Score; and NeuroTrac-Myoplus4Pro, respectively. In addition, the quality of life of participants was evaluated with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of IV Ibuprofen versus IV Acetaminophen in the reduction of pain following orthopedic low extremity procedures
This study aims to assess differences in choice of treatment (and the rationale behind it), physical function, pain intensity, satisfaction, and decision regret between orthopedic patients who review a decision aid during their visit and those that do not. Decision aids for 23 different conditions are included.
Delirium occurs commonly in elderly patients. Its incidence after orthopedic surgery has been reported to be 5-61%. Delirium is classified into three sub-types: Hypoactive, hyperactive, and mixed. Although hyperactive delirium is not as common as hypoactive delirium, the abnormal behavior pattern of hyperactive delirium, such as agitation, confusion, or aggressiveness, is considered to be harmful to patients and medical personnel. Thus, it is important to promptly manage such behaviors associated with hyperactive delirium. Intraoperative sedation plays an important role in relieving anxiety or stress response of patients. Propofol-a common sedative agent-was reported to cause delirium more frequently, compared with dexmedetomidine, in post-cardiac surgery patients or mechanically-ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). In addition to the benefits of reducing opioid consumption and postoperative nausea/vomiting, dexmedetomidine is most often used for ICU sedation or procedural sedation. However, there has not been any prospective randomized study investigating how intraoperative dexmedetomidine sedation during regional anesthesia affects postoperative consciousness, perception, memory, behavior, emotion, and so on. In this study, based on the hypothesis that intraoperative dexmedetomidine sedation may reduce the incidence of abnormal psycho-motor behavior compared with propofol sedation, investigators prospectively will investigate the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients who undergo orthopedic surgery with regional anesthesia.
