Filter by:The ability to perform a cognitive task while walking simultaneously is essential in real daily life. However, the psychometric properties of dual-task walking tests have not been well established in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of study assess the test-retest reliability and validity of dual conditions TUG, 3MBWT, 8FWT nad 4SST in patients with TKA.
A randomised controlled feasibility study of a health coaching intervention targeting people on the waitlist for hip or knee replacement surgery with low patient activation.
The goal of this clinical study is to determine if a single injection of 1 or more dose levels of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy (GNSC-001) is safe and tolerated compared to placebo in participants with painful osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a single autologous, intra-articular injection of MFat versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of pain and function associated with K/L grade 2/3 knee Osteoarthritis. Participants will receive an injection of MFat or a corticosteroid.
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of multiple doses and multiple administrations of LEVI-04 for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.
Managing joint pain is one of the main goals for treating osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal disorders. Alleviating chronic pain pharmacologically has several potential drawbacks including diminishing efficacy, toxicity, adverse side-effects, and patient anxiety. Non-pharmacological approaches (eg. weight loss) have also been found to be effective at controlling joint pain and can provide supplementary benefits. The development of efficacious, alternative treatments for arthritis pain which provide analgesia without adverse side-effects would be advantageous. Recently, preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that green ambient light using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) produced profound analgesia in animal models and chronic pain patients. Both migraineurs and fibromyalgia patients have both reported significant reductions in pain following 10 weeks of green LED exposure. The investigators aim to assess the analgesic potential of green light therapy for people living with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be asked to keep a pain diary for 4 weeks prior to light intervention. All participants will first use a white LED (20 lux) for 1-2 hours per day in a dark room at home for 10 weeks. Following a 2-week washout period without light use, participants will use a green LED (20 lux) for 1-2 hours per day in a dark room at home for 10 weeks. Following completion of the intervention, the investigator will assess changes in reported pain and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize that participants will have improvements in pain intensity and quality of life following treatment with green LEDs.
Purposes: To compare knee extensor muscle strength, physical function and self-reported function before and after total knee replacement with healthy age-matched controls. To describe changes in knee extensor muscle strength up to one year after surgery. To study the relationship between changes in knee extensor muscle strength and changes in physical function, self-reported function and physical activity level and the relationship between changes in knee extensor muscle strength and satisfaction. Methods: A prospective observational study and comparison with controls. 50-55 individuals aged 65 or older, scheduled for total knee arthroplasty will be recruited to the study group. Measurement of study group 0-2 weeks before surgery and 3, 6 and 12 months following surgery. Comparison with 50-55 healthy age-matched controls.
The aim of this study is to assess the long-term performance and safety of HLS KneeTec Deep Dish knee prosthesis when used in standard medical practice
Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a burden of disability in adults, with many seeking total joint arthroplasty (TJA) to reduce their symptoms. Almost 50% of people screened for TJA are referred for further rehabilitation rather than TJA. However, access to community-based rehabilitation is limited for those living in rural settings. Recent advances in tele-rehabilitation using smart phone technology, widely available in rural areas, provides a means to access rehabilitation from home. ReDI@Home will examine the impact of home-based e-Rehabilitation, delivered via smart phone, for rural residents living with moderate to advanced OA. This randomized feasibility trial will compare 2 e-Rehabilitation programs (eRP) of varying intensity (eRP-LOw Intensity [eRP-LO] and eRP-HIgh Intensity [eRP- HI]). The investigators think that the eRP are feasible and that both eRP will improve OA self-management. However, eRP-HI will improve patient outcomes more than eRP-LO.
Knee osteoarthritis has a very high prevalence in the population over 50 years of age. Patients with osteoarthritis often suffer from chronic pain that becomes disabling, affecting both quality of life and mental and physical health. This pathology has also been linked to maladaptive plasticity in the brain, which can contribute to chronic pain. Therapies with neuromodulatory approaches, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral electrical stimulation (TENS), have been used therapeutically to counteract the maladaptive plasticity of the brain. Transcranial therapy and TENS can be a possible effective treatment in the rehabilitation services of the health system for the improvement of chronic pain and quality of life in different pathologies, such as chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia or knee and hip osteoarthritis.
