Filter by:The safety and activity of a single, 3.5 mL dose of F14 (celecoxib) concurrent with standard of care analgesia administered following total knee replacement will be compared to standard of care analgesia alone.
To evaluate the progression on patients suffering from end stage OA whilst being on the waiting list for TKR
Impaired proprioceptive accuracy could be a risk factor for progression of gait limitations in knee osteoarthritis patients, even after the Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Recent studies on Virtual Reality (VR) in rehabilitation show its efficacy in restoring proprioceptive capacity, postural control and gait. However, literature lacks such studies in TKR patients. This preliminary study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a VR system for the enhancement of motor skills in TKR patients compared to a traditional approach of rehabilitation.
This study occurs in two phases. Phase 1 involves initial item development and measurement validation of a new tool for identifying hospitalized patients at high risk for preventable readmission. Primary tasks include item construction and content validation, data collection, analysis, and instrument refinement. Phase 2 involves administering the refined instrument to a new group of patients to determine final item content for the instrument, its factor structure, and its predictive validity.
The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation (small levels of electricity) in addition to the standard of care can safely and effectively reduce pain following total knee replacement more than the standard of care, alone. This study involves a device called the SPRINT Beta System. The SPRINT Beta System delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the leg that received the knee replacement. The SPRINT Beta System includes a small wire (called a "lead") that is placed through the skin in the upper leg. It also includes a device worn on the body that delivers stimulation (called the SPRINT Beta Stimulator). About half the subjects in this study will receive the SPRINT Beta system (treatment group) and half will not (control group). Both groups will receive the standard of care.
To determine if education about pain given prior to Knee Arthroplasty will result in better outcomes following surgery
There is no definite evidence about the most effective treatment approach in early-stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied with classical exercises on pain, joint range of motion, edema, function, quality of life and patient satisfaction in early stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery.
To evaluate influence of therapy on the following efficacy and safety parameters in different TeaRx dose groups and Enoxaparin group: - Total venous thromboembolic events (VTE), which includes confirmed deep venous thrombosis (DVT), nonfatal pulmonary embolism (PE), and total mortality - Incidence of DVT (total, proximal, distal) - Incidence of nonfatal PE - Incidence of symptomatic VTE (DVT, PE) - VTE caused mortality - Non-VTE caused mortality - Incidence of all hemorrhagic complications - Incidence of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding - Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) from subject complaints, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory results
The aim is to assess if physiotherapists attending inpatients at elective orthopaedic wards can predict the future course (post hospitalisation) of recovery of patients undergoing KA. The prediction is made at hospital discharge using a 1-10 numerical rating scale (1=poor prognosis; 10=best prognosis). To identify candidate prognostic factors, the therapist are asked to qualify their prognosis narratively, by listing at least 3-5 factors that they consider important for their projected prognosis score. There will be no maximum number of factors the physiotherapist can list.
The goals of this research study are the following: 1. To compare the effects of tele-rehabilitation-supported physical therapy versus traditional home and/or clinic-based physical therapy for total knee replacement (TKR) on 90-day health service use costs. 2. To compare tele-rehabilitation-supported physical therapy and traditional physical therapy on patient-centered outcomes 3. To explore whether individual patient characteristics are associated with differential improvement from 6 to 12 weeks assessed by patient-reported outcomes.
