Filter by:This is a randomized control trial to determine if there is a measurable change in voluntary quadriceps activation, RTD, pain, and function before and after a single session of manual physical therapy. The researchers will utilize a sample of convenience with consecutive sampling at the Brooke Army Medical Center physical therapy clinic for patients referred for knee osteoarthritis. As is standard of care, patients will be provided a medical intake form and a clinical outcome measure commensurate with their primary anatomic region for which they are seeking physical therapy (i.e.: Lower Extremity Functional Scale for hip, knee, or ankle pain). If patients choose to partake in the study, they will complete the consent form and the initial physical therapy evaluation will be conducted. They will then be provided an appointment for data collection at the Army-Baylor Center for Rehabilitation Research biomechanics lab at the Army Medical Department Center and School. The treatment group will receive one 30-minute session of orthopedic manual physical therapy targeting the knee joint and soft tissues with complementary exercises targeted at their impairment. The control group will receive a 30-minute class on knee OA diagnosis, prognosis, various treatment options, and will conclude with a question and answer with the researcher. Both groups will receive their intervention from a board-certified physical therapist in the Army-Baylor Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship program. At the conclusion of formal testing, the patient will be provided standard physical therapy care as deemed appropriate by their evaluating physical therapist. Thus, all subjects, regardless of their assigned group, will receive the same standard of care for their knee pain.
This is a phase II, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study in patients with a diagnosis of anti-AchR antibody positive myasthenia gravis.
The RAISE-XT study is an open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zilucoplan in subjects with gMG who have previously participated in a qualifying Ra Pharmaceuticals sponsored zilucoplan study.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that creatine will accelerate adaptations associated with exercise in breast cancer survivors recently completing chemotherapy.
Long-term, multicenter, multinational, observational, registry of patients with gMG that is designed to collect data on clinical outcomes and safety in patients prescribed Alexion C5 inhibitor therapies (C5IT) such as eculizumab (Soliris®) and ravulizumab (Ultomiris®).
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) of abdominal muscle.
This study collects the clinical data of new-onset ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) patients, assesses outcomes and adverse effects of different treatment options, and evaluate risk factors of conversion to generalized MG(GMG).
Resistance training has been widely recognized as an effective stimulus for increasing skeletal muscle size and strength. This study intends to compare the effects of high resistance training without blood flow restriction and the low resistance training with blood flow restriction training on bicep muscle performance.
An international, non-interventional, prospective, community recruited, longitudinal, lifestyle study which aims to collect Real-World Evidence (RWE) from people living with myasthenia gravis (MG) in order to map the disease's natural history, its burden on patients and their families, its treatment, as well as its medical, social and pharmacoeconomic impact.
