Filter by:To date, detailed analysis of movement patterns in orthopaedic conditions are mainly performed in research projects. Because these tests are time consuming, they are not feasible in clinical routine or in standard examinations. Novel technologies allow capturing detailed movement patters within a few minutes. The aim of this regional study is to compare aspects of movement tasks measured using a mobile gait analysis system to those measured using laboratory based systems and to determine aspects of gait patterns relevant for different orthopaedic conditions. Moreover, the researchers will investigate if these relevant aspects can be altered using surgical treatment or manual therapy.
Lower limb osteoarthritis is a major health problem in the westernized countries. The current gold standard treatment is joint replacement. However clinical guidelines recommend physical therapy as first option for these patients. Manual therapy has reported good reports in function, range of motion and pain in patients with hip osteoarthritis. The main aim of this study is to test the effects of a manual therapy protocol based on manual traction mobilization of the hip joint in an end range position and compare them with the effects achieve with the same protocol based on manual traction mobilization of the hip joint in a resting position. The investigators will use the caudal traction mobilization described by Kaltenborn. The study will test the effects of both treatments in passive range of motion, function and pain after three weeks of treatment, three weeks after finalizing the treatment and six weeks after.
This study will investigate the ability of systemic dexamethasone to prolong the sensory block duration for lumbar plexus nerve blockade.
Aim of the present investigation is to analyse the amount of muscle trauma in relation to the surgical approach and to the individual postoperative functional recovery. The investigation will compare the MIS (minimally invasive surgery) anterior approach with the MIS anterolateral approach to the hip.
The purpose of the present study is to examine whether an intervention plan based on exercise through remote rehabilitation system leads to improvement in characteristics of walking and balance among patients after hip replacement surgery compared to the current conventional way of exercise among these patients.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of REGN475 compared to placebo in participants with pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip and a history of inadequate joint pain relief or intolerance to current analgesic therapy.
This is a retro-prospective, single arm, sequential enrolment study to collect relevant clinical and radiological data in at least 156 subjects, at up to 10 sites in Australia, who have been implanted with the EMPERION™ Modular Hip System in primary THA procedures to assess its safety and efficacy over 5 years post-surgery.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether patients operated with THA and TKA can benefit from treatment with chlorzoxazone.
The aim of this project is to investigate prosthesis fixation in the bone, respectively cemented and uncemented operation method of Avantage® dual-mobility acetabular cup in elderly patients, wear of the plastic in dual-mobility hip prosthesis and evaluate the clinical function, patient satisfaction and possible complications. Patients included in this study suffer from osteoarthritis of the hip.
The femoral-offset (FO) is one of the important perioperative parameters in THA. A prospective cohort study was conducted between September 2010 and December 2013. All patients with unilateral primary osteoarthritis (OA) treated with THA were considered for inclusion. Patients with secondary OA, previous spinal, pelvic, or lower limb injuries or fractures were excluded. Global FO was measured in each patient within 3 months before the THA and at the second postoperative day using a standardized protocol. According to the postoperative measurement, patients were divided into three groups: 1) the decreased FO group, where the FO of operated side was reduced more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side, 2) the restored FO group, where the FO of operated side was within 5mm restored compared with the contralateral side, and 3) the increased FO group, where the FO of operated side was increased more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side. Patients were followed-up at 12 - 15 months postoperatively with self-administered WOMAC and EQ-5D questionnaires in addition to a clinical assessment with palpation of the operated hip and measurement of the abductor muscle strength.
