Filter by:The objective of this study is to assess whether recreational rock climbers experience thickening of the flexor digitorum tendon in the 2nd 3rd and 4th fingers. In these fingers the study will also assess whether there is thickening of the A2 annular pulley and if there is a measurable increase in the tendon to bone distance at the level of the A2 pulley when the fingers are placed into flexion against mild resistance. This study aims to provide clinicians with an understanding of how exposure to rock climbing can lead to chronic anatomical changes to the soft tissue structures of the finger. These changes have been demonstrated in the elite rock climber population, but have yet to be studied in the much larger and growing recreational rock climbing population which consisted of nearly 10 million participants in 2021. If significant, these anatomical variations might guide the assessment of imaging and clinical decision making when managing finger injuries in patients with exposure to rock climbing. Portable ultrasound probes will be used to scan and measure the dimensions of various soft tissue structures in the hands of both rock climbers and a control population, this data will be paired with data collected in a brief survey asking about exposure to rock climbing, history of finger injuries, and style of climbing.
this study will investigate the structure of the Achilles tendon and functional tests in road runners compared to treadmill runners.
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.
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
Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (MAT) is a common overuse injury of the lower extremity characterized by the presence of pain, restricted function and interruption of sport activities. Conservative management of MAT has been suggested as the first line of treatment. Actually, there are several exercise programs with beneficial effects on pain and function among which high load training stands out. However, this training modality is inherently difficult to implement in certain populations and pathological conditions due to their inability to tolerate this mechanical stress. In this sense, low load training with blood flow restriction (BFR-LLT) emerges as an effective option in producing hypertrophic adaptations with low intensities (30% 1RM). However, this training modality has not yet been studied in tendon pathology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential clinical effects of BFR-LLT in comparison with HLT in patients with chronic MAT.
The aim of our study is to determine the effect of activity-based intervention on the activity, participation levels and kinesiophobia (fear of movement) of the patients by evaluating the person, environment and activity using the Person-Environment-Occupation model (PEO) in the rehabilitation of hand forearm flexor tendon injuries.
The primary objective is to compare the two different rehabilitation protocols relative motion flexion and short splint regarding patients'satisfaction in patients with flexor tendon injuries in Zone I and II after 13 and 26 weeks post-surgery.
Injury to the flexor tendons of the fingers of the hand is a frequent and disabling injury, since it produces tendon retraction and functional limitation. A prompt and adequate diagnosis and treatment is required to minimize the risk of tendon retraction, re-rupture, reoperation rate, and the presence of tendon adhesions that limit the range of motion. On occasions, the limitation of the articular balance of the MCP, PIP and DIP joints generates a loss of strength and difficult in completely closing the fingers to the palm of the hand.
To analyze outcomes between patients with Z2FT injuries following repair, randomized to two groups. The first group will be the negative control, with no tendon wrap. The second group will have a VersaWrap Tendon Protector applied over the site of the tendon repair. VersaWrap is current SOC at UF.
