Filter by: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.
The goal of this observational study is to estimate the frequency of neuropathic pain and migraines in a group of patients with osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, hands, spine or other joints. In addition to their usual care for osteoarthritis, participants will complete questionnaires to define migraine and neuropathic pain.
This will be a prospective, single-center, double-blinded, randomized study designed to compare the efficacy of the intraarticular injection of a corticosteroid and the Conventional Radiofrequency (CRF) of the anterior sensory branches to the hip in controlling pain and improving function related to hip osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common, chronic joint pathology that causes participants to suffer from pain, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. The goal is to improve the quality of life and rehabilitation of patients by making rehabilitation exercises electronic and the system can be personalized to their specific conditions. The focus of this study was on exercise interventions, and an interactive software was designed that combines repetitive motion and real-time feedback mechanisms. The software provides a series of rehabilitation movements that are specific to the characteristics of osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults, aiming to help participants gradually improve joint range of motion and muscle strength through exercise. The real-time feedback mechanism, on the other hand, monitors the participants' exercise status in real time through wearable devices, providing intuitive feedback to the participants to ensure that they perform the rehabilitation movements correctly, thus ensuring the scientificity and safety of the exercise. In this study, investigators designed an exercise assessment and exercise intervention system for patients with knee osteoarthritis. In the exercise assessment part, the study combines several tools. First, the WOMAC scale was used to systematically assess patients' joint pain, stiffness, and dyskinesia. Second, physical function tests are used to assess the patient's overall exercise capacity, including indicators such as the number of sit-ups and rises. In addition, a wearable device was designed in this paper for real-time collection of knee angle information.
This study is a 3-part, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamic properties of iN1011-N17 after Oral Administration in Healthy Volunteers and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia patients, and to assess the relative bioavailability of Mesylate vs Hydrochloride salt capsules of iN1011-N17 in Healthy volunteers.
The purpose of the ACCELERATE3 trial is to assess the efficacy of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of autologous BMAC, in one or both knees, compared to a single IA injection of Standard of Care (SOC) in patients with mild to severe knee OA.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that lacks curative therapy. Epidemiological studies show increase in the burden of disease. Total joint arthroplasty is one of the best treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis. However, the specific effects of total joint arthroplasty on cardiovascular risk and metabolic profile are largely unknown. The aim of this project is to elucidate how hip and knee total joint arthroplasty impacts cardiovascular risk and metabolomic profile in comparison with general population. We hypothesize that arthroplasty decreases pain, systemic inflammation levels and increases functional status that all lead to decreased metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
to determine the supplementary effects of Kaltenborn sustained stretch mobilization when combined with resistance training in the management of knee osteoarthritis.
This study investigates how well individuals with knee osteoarthritis can learn to alter their calf muscle activation using haptic biofeedback while walking and evaluates how these changes affect knee loading. Prior research has utilized musculoskeletal simulations to determine that reducing the activation of one of the calf muscles, the gastrocnemius, can have a large impact on reducing knee loading. However, this has not been tested in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. In this study, participants will be trained to alter the activation of their gastrocnemius muscle, by receiving haptic feedback after each step. The feedback will indicate how the participant changed their muscle activation relative to baseline. Participants will train for up to three sessions, with 30 minutes of walking with feedback in each session. If a participant can learn to adjust their muscle activation in the first training session, they will be able to complete the second training session. An exploratory third session may be conducted to investigate changes in knee loading while using the new walking strategy during over-ground walking. The movement data collected during the training sessions will be used as inputs to computer simulations of the musculoskeletal system to determine if walking with the new muscle activation strategy reduces knee loading.
This is a pilot study to assess safety and possible efficacy of Allocetra-OTS in end-stage knee osteoarthritis.
