Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether receiving education after trauma surgeries affects three things: 1) knowledge about injury and treatment ("recall"), 2) how well patients follow treatment recommendations, and 3) how satisfied patients are with their care. To do so, some participants in this study will receive education, and some will not.
The goal of this observational study is to better understand what happens to circulating blood after a patient experiences severe trauma injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is severe human trauma associated with specific patterns of development in the hematopoietic stem cells of these patients? and Does the initial severe trauma injury create immunosuppression and increase risk of in-hospital sepsis? Participants in study will give blood samples and a waste sample of bone marrow at time of operative repair of traumatic orthopedic injuries, supply medical information and participate in surveys and assessments during recovery from their injury(ies). Researchers will compare severe trauma injury patients to elective hip repair patients to see if immunosuppression and specific development patterns occur in the trauma patient versus the otherwise healthy hip surgery patient.
The study is a quality assurance study, aiming to determine the agreement between two different measurement instruments for assessing knee joint laxity in patients with ACL injuries. The study aims to include 60 patients with previous ACL injury, recruited in an outpatient clinic at Aarhus University Hospital from September 2022 to March 2023. For patients who consent to participate in the study, their knee joint laxity in both the injured and the non-injured knee is assessed using both a Rolimeter and a Lachmeter. Subsequently, the collected data are examined to determined the agreement between the two measurement instruments.
The good effects of using guided plasticity for a rehabilitative purpose in case of nerve damage have been shown, but a problem that has been presented is that some individuals find it difficult to assimilate these effects due to difficulties in carrying out abstract training or due to a lack of motivation. In early sensory training, the plasticity of the brain is used. Methods for early sensory training that have been described are: 1) mental imagery of touch (mental imagery), 2) observation of touch, 3) mirror training, 4) use of images for visualization of touch. The method needs to be developed and refined to be able to offer individual training plans in order to find a motivating and meaningful form of training.
Primary Objective: To explore changes in shear wave elastography (SWE) and microvascular flow imaging (MFI) measurements from time of injury through the recovery phase of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries to determine if a correlation exists with functional impairment. Secondary Objective: To develop a deep learning AI system for automated region of interest (ROI) determination for measurement of average SWE and MFI. Methodology: Eligible subjects with lower extremity injuries will undergo SWE and MFI measurements and complete the Lower Extremity Functional Scale questionnaire at each study visit. Clinical data related to the evaluation of the injury acquired during standard medical care of the injury will be collected from the patients' medical record such as CT or MRI scans, X-rays, physical exams and tests as well as laboratory measurements. Subjects will undergo serial SWE and MFI imaging throughout their rehabilitation episode of care to assess changes over time, status in rehabilitation and comparison to the contralateral extremity.
The goal of this clinical trial to follow the progress of wounds in those with chronic venous leg ulcers while using a non-bordered foam dressing. The main objective is to follow the progress of these wounds over time from initial visit to each follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to wear the dressing for up to 6 weeks of treatment or until healed, changed at every one-week interval.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, exploratory phase 2a study to evaluate safety and biologic efficacy on wound healing of ILP100-Topical in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers during 26 weeks with a 5-year long-term follow-up period. A total of 30 subjects will be randomized to low dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Lo), high dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Hi) or Placebo according to a 1:1:1 randomization schedule. The study will consist of a 3-weeks Screening and Run-in Phase, followed by a 5-week Treatment Phase starting from Baseline and an Assessment Phase from Week 5 to Week 26. Thereafter, the subjects will be followed yearly during 5 years in a Long-Term Safety Follow-up Phase.
The Myosuit is a light-weighted lower extremity soft exosuit which provide assistance during walking. In this study the Myosuit will be tested in the home and community setting in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of pairing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with rehabilitation and to determine the efficacy of pairing VNS with rehabilitation.
The purpose of this research is to test the health benefits of using functional electrical stimulation for lower extremity exercise at home.
