On-Q Catheter Caregiver Education

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuryPain; Catheter (Other)2 more

The present study aims to compare caregiver satisfaction and efficacy between two modes of patient education materials (PEMs): media based and print based. The caregivers of patient's who undergo ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery and receive an On-Q Catheter pain block receive both a hand-out (print based PEM) and watch a short video (media-based PEM) describing how to care for their child's On-Q Catheter at home. Upon enrollment into the study, caregivers are randomly assigned to either first view the hand-out or the video, then complete a 10 questions standardized assessment of information that was presented in the PEMs. Caregivers are called the next day to assess caregiver satisfaction with the PEMs, which mode of PEM was more helpful to them, and how comfortable they felt managing their child's pain pump at home.

TeleRehabilitation Following ACL Reconstruction

ACL Injury

Telerehabilitation is a form of tele-treatment in which rehabilitation services are dispensed at patients' home utilizing video telecommunication services with real-time synchronous exchange of information. The advantages of telerehabilitation include reducing unnecessary travel to the hospital and person to person contact while maintaining social distancing. While some of the patients are truly staying at remote areas, others are unable to manage travel in the lockdown period. Telemedicine offers the opportunity to deliver rehabilitative services in the patients' home, closing geographic, physical, and motivational gaps. Punctuality on either side is also assured since the travel times are saved on both the ends. The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate telerehabilitation vs. in-person rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction. Objectives include assess return to sport and patient reported functional outcomes.

Effect of Dual Tasks on Gait Symmetry After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

Individuals who received anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction demonstrated lower extremity movement asymmetries. The purpose of this study was to determine if psychological impairment was a contributor to lower extremity movement asymmetries in walking for individuals who received ACL reconstruction.

Evaluation of Exparel Adductor Canal Field Block for Pain Control After ACL Reconstruction

Anterior Cruciate Ligament TearPain2 more

This is a prospective, randomized study for adult patients presenting to the Carilion Clinic Institute of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery. Patients undergoing isolated ACL reconstruction will be eligible for inclusion. All patients will receive an adductor canal block (either with bupivacaine or Exparel. Patients will be given a pain diary for self-report of pill counts, pain scores, block duration, and pain control satisfaction). Pill counts and pain scores will also be taken by a team member at two and six-week post-operative visits. Primary outcomes include opioid requirements and pain scores.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Single Bundle and Double Bundle Techniques

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has greatly advanced over the last 20 years. However, data in the literature reveal that approximately 15-25% of patients undergoing surgery still do not present optimal outcomes, which suggests that there is room for improvement of the procedure. A possible explanation for this fact is that most ACL reconstructions consider only one of the functional bundles of the ligament. Our hypothesis is that the ACL reconstruction with the double-bundle technique will be effective in reducing the patients' rotation of the knee joint for high-demanding tasks compared to the patients who had ACL reconstruction with the single-bundle technique.

The Effects of Knee Extension Constraint Rehabilitation After ACL Reconstruction

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

To develop new prevention programs for non-contact ACL injuries that do not require additional training time and assistance from a sports medicine professional personnel. A knee extension constraint will be utilized to patients who have undertaken ACL reconstruction. And to determine the effects of knee extension constraint rehabilitation on lower extremity biomechanics after ACL reconstruction surgery.

The Effects of Whole-body Vibration on Increasing Quadriceps Strength in Patients With ACL Ruptures...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesQuadriceps Muscle Atrophy

Introduction: Approximately 35% patients can not return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR). Persistent quadriceps weakness is a factor that prevents patients return to sports. Pre-operative quadriceps strength is a predictor for the outcomes after ACLR. Therefore, enhancing pre-operative quadriceps is important. However, current prehabilitation can not well restore quadriceps strength may be due to quadricep inhibition. Whole body vibration was proposed as a promising intervention to increase muscle strength and modulate quadriceps inhibition simultaneously. Therefore, this study aim to investigate if whole body vibration has the efficacy of enhancing pre-operative quadriceps and modulating quadricep inhibition in patients with ACL injuries. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was designed. Patients with primary ACL injuries, age from 18-45 yrs, BMI<29, physically active who awaiting ACLR will be included. Patients with any previous lower-limb injuries within 1 year, any cardiovascular or metabolic disorders will be excluded. All the subjects in this study have to finish their routine 5 week prehabilitation as well as the interventions. The primary outcomes of this study include quadriceps strength and quadriceps central activation ratio. Secondary outcomes include the score of IKDC and ACL-RSI, as well as the concentrations of myokines in serum.

ACL SNNAP Trial: ACL Surgery Necessity in Non Acute Patients

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

The primary objective of this study is to determine in patients with non-acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficiency (ACLD) whether a strategy of non-surgical management [Rehabilitation] (with option for later ACL reconstruction, only if required) is more clinically effective and cost effective than a strategy of surgical management [Reconstruction].

Light Load Blood Flow Restriction Training in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Patient...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

This study is examining the post-operative rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients within the National Health Service (NHS). It will compare the effectiveness of two resistance training protocols, light load blood flow restriction (BFR) training and heavy load training, on improving multiple aspects important to the rehabilitation process in this patient demographic, whilst also examining the feasibility of this novel training modality. It is hypothesised that light load BFR training will be equally effective as heavy load training, but more tolerable for patients.
