Filter by:The long biceps tendon (LBT) has a particular anatomical pathway, making it fragile due to repeated microtrauma or trauma which can lead to chronic lesions of LBT. Current issue with this pathology is the absence of preoperative effective clinical and paraclinical tools, allowing confirmed diagnosis, in particular because of its entanglement with other pathologies. This diagnostic uncertainty generates an approximation for LBT therapeutic indications so that therapeutic indications are frequently finalized during glenohumeral arthroscopy. Having a reliable and reproducible diagnostic tool for LBT pathologies would allow an improvement in their surgical load management . In this context, this research is based on the hypothesis that the construction of a pre-operative score, the HASS score, combining pre-operative clinical and paraclinical data would allow to obtain a reliable diagnosis of LBT injuries.
This prospective cohort trial will investigate a progressive exercise protocol and patient education for patients with hip abductor tendon pathology. The primary outcome is patient reported pain measured by the revised Copenhagen Hip And Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), that will be conducted at baseline and at a 12 week follow-up.
In this study, among the patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Muğla Training and Research Hospital and were diagnosed with subacromial impingement by anamnesis and clinical tests, inclusion criteria) and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated. 4 years of musculoskeletal ultrasound experience will be recorded by a radiologist using ultrasound (Siemens® V8, LA2-14A probe) in modified Crass position (positioning with the palm of the examined side on the posterior iliac wing) by measuring subacromial bursa thickness, supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance, supraspinatus tendon thickness/acromiohumeral distance ratio. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated.
The goal of this observational study is to understand how diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) relates to other traditional measures and knee function. The main question it aims to answer is: Will regions of known patellar tendon pathology present with smaller DTI scalar parameters, shorter fiber length, and lower fiber density compared to the contralateral tendon and healthy regions in the ipsilateral tendon. Participants will: - undergo MRI and ultrasound imaging - perform knee function test - complete questionnaires
The purpose of this research study will be to assess the effects of a compressive tissue flossing (CTF) program on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members. Dependent variables will be the Defense and Veteran's Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS), decrease their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) score, increase their maximal grip strength in the affected upper extremity (UE). Measurements will be taken at baseline, immediately after the first CTF intervention, and at the 1-week follow-up, for a total of 3 measurements.
The HIPS-study will be an observer blinded, single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main purpose of the study is: 1. To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self- management program versus usual care for patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). - H0: There is no difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. - H1: There is a difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. 2. To investigate if self-management is more cost-effective than usual care in the treatment of patients with GTPS. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: 1) self-management program or 2) usual care. Follow-up will be at 3-, 6- and 12-months.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the comparative effect and accuracy of ultrasound procedures by conducting a practical randomized controlled clinical study comparing patients (20 patients) with ultrasound-guided pharmacoacupuncture and patients (20 patients) without checking ultrasound images in 40 patients with whom complain of moderate or higher pain with 5 or higher NRS when stabilizing the shoulder joint.
The study is a 12-week human study where 60 participants with chronic patellar tendinopathy (more than 3 months symptoms duration) are randomised to undergo 12 weeks of targeted resistance exercise either in the morning or in the late afternoon. The overall aim is to investigate when the best time of the day to perform muscular strength training therapy towards tendinopathy is. The study will also include 10 healthy controls who will not perform any exercise training.
To evaluate outcomes after use of micronized amniotic membrane to replace or supplement damaged or inadequate integumental tissue in patients with "chronic" insertional or non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy that remains refractory to standard care. Outcomes between a control and treatment group in this pilot study will be used to devise a multi-center study with larger sample size.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the effectiveness of a single injection of CTM Boost in the treatment of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is as effective as a single injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in reducing the symptoms of RCT.
