Summary: The purpose of the study is to investigate Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and its effect on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and recovery time. The hypothesis is that people with JHS will experience increased DOMS when compared to non-hypermobile people. The results this study may assist and add to the body of knowledge when treating and exercising patients with JHS, as considerations can ...
Summary: Decathlon has developed kneeSOFT100 product which is medical device designed to reduce pain and joint instability during sport practice. The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon kneeSOFT100 product to demonstrate safety and performance of this device in a real-world setting.
Summary: Prospective, randomized, single-blind, multinational, long-term study for the evaluation of the clinical outcome, oxidation profile and wear analysis of medium cross-linked Polyethylene with and without Vitamin E for total knee arthroplasty
Summary: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in young individuals, particularly those that are active in sports. Up to 30% of individuals under the age of 20 years suffer a re-injury to the reconstructed ACL. Revision ACLR has been associated with degeneration of the articular cartilage and increased rates of meniscal tears, increasing the risk of pos...
Summary: Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) display neuromuscular deficits such as altered control of posture and gait when compared with healthy controls. These deficits may be attributed to muscle inhibition occurring after a surrounding joint structure has been damaged. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is the application of high-intensity intermittent electrical stimuli to generate ...
Summary: Investigators designed this observational study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
Summary: Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common spinal degenerative disease. It is defined as the slippage of one vertebrae on the vertebrae bellow. In the process of spinal ageing and spinal joint degeneration, the spine becomes subjected to degenerative development that results in joint instability, shifting of vertebrae and can be responsible for a progressive kyphosis of the lumbar spine and sagitt...
Summary: Prospective, multicenter, observational, comparative clinical trial on the equivalence of two different OrthoPilot® navigation system generations applied for computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty
Summary: Background: Ankle sprains are among the most prevalent lesions in primary care. A substantial number of these ligament lesions will develop ankle instability and require a surgical procedure. The Brostrom-Gould technique is the standard surgical approach for this condition, providing excellent results over the years. Thru the last decades, the arthroscopic Brostrom has gain popularity and support ...
Summary: Study Aims and Objectives:~To investigate the following null hypothesis: that there is no difference in clinical and functional outcome when comparing outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction when comparing femoral side graft fixation with either a fixed versus an adjustable suspensory loop system.~The research team will achieve this aim by:~Enrolling 150 patients into this stud...
Summary: Rationale: Lateral ankle ligament injuries may be a result of ankle sprains. In 10-30% of patients with lateral ankle ligament injuries, chronic lateral ankle instability may be present. If conservative treatment fails, instability is treated surgically. Anatomic repair (also known as the Bröstrom procedure) is the current golden standard for surgical treatment of chronic ankle instability. The Br...
Summary: Chronic ankle instability is a common problem that may follow an ankle sprain. Until a patient has developed chronic ankle instability they are ineligible for surgical treatment although early surgical treatment yields better results compared to surgical treatment of subjects that have experienced recurrent ankle sprains. However, treating all patients with an ankle sprain surgically is not an opt...
