Filter by:A 6-week randomized clinical trial (RCT) with a 46-week follow-up compared the effect of Alfredson and Silbernagel eccentric programs for the treatment of AT. The primary outcome was a change in the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment - Achilles (VISA-A) scale from baseline to 12 months. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University (Project number: 254/2021). All participants provided written informed consent before participation.
The main purpose of the study is to investigate self-reported functional ability of patients undergoing conservatively treated achilles tendon rupture at 6, 12 and 24 months from the date of injury.
Many active and passive rehabilitation programs are applied in the rehabilitation processes after flexor tendon repair. There is no clear rehabilitation program accepted by the whole world. An accurate understanding of these injuries at the histological and biomechanical level is necessary to improve rehabilitation outcomes. Mechanical properties of tendons, such as their viscoelasticity, are affected by the increase in stiffness caused by the rupture, repair, and healing process. Previous studies have shown that the mechanical properties of a repaired tendon, such as stiffness, material properties and functionality of tendon tissue Shear-wave elastography can detect pathological changes in tendinopathy before they are visible on conventional Ultrasonography imaging. In addition, shear wave elastography allows the evaluation of quantitative measurements and is considered more objective because it provides reproducible results. Our aim in this study is to evaluate the changes in the mechanical properties of the hand flexor tendons repaired using shear wave elastography (SWE) during the rehabilitation process and natural process and their effect on functionality.
The study will be looking at acute changes in Achilles tendon properties and changes in a vertical single leg hop following an exercise intervention. The three exercise interventions will be randomized and take place on separate days 1 week apart. The three exercise interventions are AAROM, slow load, and plyometrics.
This is a prospective, single-center study design with enrollment of 15 subjects. The 15 subjects will all undergo standard gluteus medius repair that includes augmentation with the biointegrative implant. This is a small observational study. As such, we expect that the results from 15 subjects will give an adequate understanding of post surgical healing.
Different splints are used after hand extensor tendon repair (including relative motion splint, static splint, etc.) There is no consensus regarding the benefits of either one. The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes after using different orthoses and rehabilitation methods after hand extensor tendon repair. Patients are randomly assigned after signing consent to either immobilization with a static splint or a relative motion splint. Patients are examined after 2 and 5 months postoperatively for finger range of motion, grip strength, and DASH questionnaire.
A 10-year follow up of a fusion of two earlier published randomized controlled trials. 203 patients with displaced distal radius fractures were randomized to surgery with a volar locking plate or external fixation.
This current study will be designed to prove the therapeutic effect of mirror therapy on physical function of the hand after flexor tendon repair
This prospective randomised study aimed to test the investigators's hypothesis that anti-gravity treadmill therapy has beneficial effects on postural stability tests over a standard rehabilitation protocol in patients who have suffered traumatic injuries of the lower limb, demonstrating an improvement in the Biodex platform's values. The total of 30 patients participated in this study (n=30). There were 15 subjects in control group and 15 in experimental group.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.
