Filter by:The objective of this study is to find out the effects of Mulligan's Squeeze technique added as a complementary treatment to the conventional physiotherapy for the management of meniscal derangement in knee osteoarthritis patients.
Degenerative meniscal tears are a common cause of osteoarthritis commonly diagnosed in football players and are considered a major risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. This study aimed to investigate the Clinical and functional effects of kinesiotaping and physiotherapy in grade 2 osteoarthritis following degenerative meniscal tears in football players.
This study was performed on 42 patients, who underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Acıbadem Maslak Hospital. 42 patients randomly assigned to 14 synchronized telerehabilitation, 14 asynchronous telerehabilitation, 14 conventional physiotherapy groups and included in the study. The evaluation form created for the provision of demographic information are used. Primary outcome measures are muscle strength, range of motion (ROM) and pain intensity. Secondary outcome measures are general health profile and functional status assessment of the knee joint . Evaluation methods: All evaluations were performed in the preoperative period, 10. day, 6. week and 6. month postoperatively. ROM and pain measurements repeated every week during the 6-week rehabilitation process. Pain, general health profile and functional status assessment of the knee joint were assessed via a telerehabilitation application, Albert Health Assistant. Postoperative first day, the 14-day exercise program was taught to all patients practically and was given as a brochure. Patients in the synchronized telerehabilitation group started physiotherapy postoperative 14. day, met with the physiotherapist in real time via the Albert Health Assistant application and they were treated 2 days a week until 6. week. In the remaining days, they asked to follow the exercise videos uploaded to the Albert system, it was checked whether they are doing daily exercises, and a daily reminder message was sent via the system. The exercise program for the asynchronous telerehabilitation group was uploaded to the Albert Health Assistant as a video from the 14th day in the form of 2-week programs. It was checked over the system whether the patients apply these videos on a daily basis, and a message reminding the daily routine exercise program was sent through the system. Patients in the supervised physiotherapy group started to take supervized rehabilitation after 10-14 days postoperatively, 2 times a week until 6th week postoperatively in Maslak Acıbadem Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Department. ROM, Pain, functional and general health evaluations of the patients in this group were performed on the online platform. In addition, daily routine exercises will be followed over the Albert system on the days they do not come for treatment.
A Pretest post-test control group design will be used to investigate the effect of kinesio taping on electrical activity and peak torque of the quadriceps femoris muscle during concentric and eccentric contraction after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) surgery.
In this thesis study, the transtibial pullout method, which is one of the treatment methods for medial meniscus posterior root tear, will be used in patients over the age of 18 with medial meniscus posterior root tear, who applied to the Atatürk University Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic. The patients will be divided into two groups. In the first group, after knotting the posterior root of the medial meniscus with a fiber rope, a tunnel will be opened for the rope to pass through the medial of the proximal crest of the tibia. Then, arthroscopically, the rope will be taken through the joint and passed through the tunnel, and the knot will be fixed to the tibia by using the endobutton elevator system. In the second group, the first stage of fixation is the same, and fixation to the tibia will be done with an endobutton by tying a free knot without using an elevator system. The clinical and radiological scores of both groups just before the operation and at the twelve months after the operation will be calculated and their relationship with each other will be examined.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and satisfaction of integrative Korean medicine for Meniscus Tear by observation patients treated with integrative Korean medicine. This study is a prospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with Meniscus Tear and who have been admitted to Gangnam Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine, Bucheon Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine, Daejeon Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine and Haeundae Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine for 2015.06-2020.06.
Adolescents and young adults who hurt their knees playing sports or doing recreational activities can develop joint damage, muscle weakness, inactivity, and weight gain which might lead to an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA), a disabling joint condition in their later lives. Despite knowing that muscles and joints benefit from exercise, there is no proven exercise-based treatments to delay or even halt the onset of OA after a knee joint injury. The current study will assess if a physiotherapist-guided intervention called Stop OsteoARthritis (SOAR) improves knee muscle strength, physical inactivity, knee-related self-efficacy, and knee-related quality of life in people at risk for osteoarthritis due to a past knee injury. A total of 70 former knee injury participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will immediately start a 16-week SOAR program, while the second will wait for 9-weeks before starting an 8-week SOAR program. Trained physiotherapists will deliver the SOAR program with videoconferencing. The study hypothesis is that participating in the 8-Week SOAR program will improve the knee muscle strength, physical activity levels, knee-related self-efficacy and knee-related quality of life in people discharged from regular healthcare after a sports knee injury. The findings will help researchers understand the ideal length of the program for a future clinical trial in real-world settings.
Horizontal meniscus tears meeting specified criteria will be repaired by any commonly used suture technique. Subjects will be followed for 2 years to evaluate the effectiveness of the repair, by assessing the re-operation rate, and by assessing improvements in knee pain and knee function.
To determine changes in thigh muscle function and knee pain after a partial meniscectomy surgery and to also determine the effects of applying electrical stimulation to the knee to determine if this improves thigh muscle function and decreases pain.
The investigators have previously reported on patient utilization of an eRehab patient education web portal that utilizes streaming, clinician prescribed video instruction to motivate and inform patients in self-care of their orthopedic condition, focusing on the importance of a home exercise program. The greatest barrier to patient use of this web-based home exercise treatment plan was the initial access to the program. The purpose of this study is to compare an Internet-based patient education rehab portal (eRehab) to formal physical therapy (PT) in terms of patient costs and outcomes.
