Filter by:The purpose of this study was to analyze and study the efficacy and safety of autologous adipose-derived vascular matrix components (SVF) in patients with knee osteoarthritis before and after treatment through clinical evaluation, radiation index, and metabolic index comparison between plasma and irrigation solution before and after SVF injection.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of ITB myofascial release with graston technique on symptoms associated with knee Osteoarthritis for reducing pain, enhancing knee range of motion and decrease functional disability.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship (revision rates) and patient reported outcomes (PROMs) following implantation of the Insignia hip stem in patients undergoing cementless total hip replacement surgery compared to currently available stems used for the same type of surgery. It is hypothesised the 2-year survivorship of the Insignia stem is noninferior to the benchmark survivorship of similar stems used in the same type of surgery.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to investigate the efficacy of acupressure and standardized curcuminoids from turmeric extract to inflammatory markers, endorphin hormones in the blood and quality of life in elderly patient with Osteoarthritis Genu. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there any effect combination of acupressure and standardized curcuminoids from turmeric extract to inflammatory markers in elderly patients with Osteoarthritis Genu? 2. Is there any effect combination of acupressure and standardized curcuminoids from turmeric extract to endorphin hormones in the blood in elderly patients with Osteoarthritis Genu? 3. Is there an effect combination of acupressure and standardized curcuminoids from turmeric extract to quality of life in elderly patients with Osteoarthritis Genu? Participants in the intervention group received 2 treatments, namely acupressure at points that provide osteoarthritis-specific comfort and standardized curcuminoids from turmeric extract capsules. Participant in the control group alo would receive 2 treatments, an active placebo (starch capsules and sham acupressure). Researchers will compare interventional group and sham group to see efficacy the combination therapy
The objective of the study is to explore the effects of arm exercise (UE, arm ergometer) vs. leg exercise (LE, cycling ergometer) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), central pain mechanisms and knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, we will explore relations of socioeconomic status, racial discrimination, acculturative stress, and autonomic function to exercise effects on EIH, central pain mechanisms, and knee pain. This will be a pilot randomized cross-over study where all participants undergo Day 1 (baseline assessments), Day 2 (UE or LE), and Day 3 (UE or LE).
The goal of this clinical trial is to prospectively assess the efficacy of the BLOOM program, a comprehensive weight loss dietary and lifestyle program, in a population of patients living with obesity and awaiting hip or knee surgery. The main questions it seeks to answer are: 1. Can the BLOOM program support these patients to lose up to 10% of their initial body weight? 2. Will patients continue to lose weight for the next six months after completing the program? 3. Does the BLOOM program help patients to improve their overall quality of life? Study participants will undergo the BLOOM program, a virtual pre-operative weight management program that spans 24 weeks and is carefully supervised by medical professionals. They will be recruited at the LEAF Clinic after being referred by their primary care physician. During the BLOOM program, they will meet with a physician (initially, then once monthly) and a dietitian (initially, and then biweekly as part of virtual group coaching). They will have access to LEAF's online learning portal. These are normal elements of the BLOOM program. Furthermore, as part of their participation in the research study, participants will be asked to complete the following questionnaires: the Mediterranean dietary score, the Oxford Hip and Knee Questionnaire and the EQ-D5-5L quality of life assessment. They will complete these initially, and then at completion of the program and 3 and 6 months post-program. We will also collect their height and weight at these intervals.
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.
Exercise supervision via telehealth resources is an alternative to the in-person modality with similar therapeutic effectiveness across different clinical profiles. Especially in the context of knee osteoarthritis (OA), exercise is recommended by international guidelines. However, it is necessary to elucidate the comparability of remote and in-person supervised exercise effectiveness for these patients. Therefore, the study's objective is to investigate the responses of a remote compared to the in-person supervised exercise program on patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), muscular architecture, and the functional performance of patients with knee OA. Sixty-eight patients with symptomatic and radiographic knee OA will be randomly assigned to remote or in-person exercise programs. The intervention will last 12 weeks, encompassing muscle-strengthening exercises for the lower extremities, with a frequency of twice a week for the initial two weeks and three sessions per week from the third week onwards. Supervision will be conducted remotely via video calls in one group, while the other will receive in-person supervision at a physiotherapy clinic. Program sessions will comprise six exercises. In the first session treatment block, exercises will be guided for the muscle groups of the knee extensors, hip adductors, and plantar flexors, and in the second block, for knee extensors, hip abductors, and knee flexors. After the 12-week supervised treatment period, participants will be encouraged to continue the same exercise program at home without a physiotherapist in the following six weeks. PROMs related to the joint condition will be measured, such as pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports and leisure activities, and quality of life. The psychological domain will also be evaluated, including pain catastrophizing, symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, and sleep quality. Additionally, measurements of the muscular architecture of the quadriceps femoris, including muscle thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length, and echo intensity, will be taken. Functional performance will be assessed through tests that include the skills of standing and sitting, walking and going up, and down stairs. PROMs will be measured at weeks 0, 6, 12, and 18. Muscular architecture and functional parameters will be measured at weeks 0 and 12. Data analysis will be conducted using Linear Mixed Models, and analysis will be presented by intention to treat and per protocol. The significance level adopted for this study will be α = 0.05.
In patients who have had joint replacement surgery, there is a shortage of concrete evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation. The aim of this study is to compare telerehabilitation with home based exercise program and standard home exercise program in total knee arthroplasty.
