Summary: Fear of re-injury and deficiencies in ankle joint function are common conditions amongst high performance (elite) athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI), who participate in indoor sports. This fear of re-injury associates with the high recurrence rate of lateral ankle sprains, which is a primary characteristic feature of CAI. The Spraino® shoe patch is a new Danish invention, which is desig...

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: Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire.Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-I), allowing its use with Italian-speaking population to monitor both state of health and functional limitation deriving from ankle instability problems, in order to e...

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: 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: The movement control of shoulder joint relies not only on the glenohumeral joint, but also the critical contributions from scapulothoracic joint. The relating scapula muscle strength, scapula mobility and, the most important of all, the capacity of neuromuscular control should be integrated into the rehabilitation program for patients with shoulder disorders. With regarding to the subacromial impi...

Summary: Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue problem characterized by the emergence of multiple musculoskeletal problems in hypermobile individuals without a systemic rheumatologic disease. Studies have shown that hypermobility may also affect lung function. Playing wind instruments requires tiring breathing activity. The effect of wind instrument on lung function and how ...

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: The objective of the study is to evaluate the postural control and proprioception before and after external capsulo-ligament reconstruction for ankle instability.
