Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

To investigate the extent to which pain, functionality, and quality of life change over the progression of osteoarthritis grades.

The care for patients receiving total hip and knee arthroplasty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has followed a structured care pathway since July 2015. This system of perioperative care has focused on preoperative assessment of medical co-morbidities and risks to postoperative functional recovery, anesthetic care focused on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention and optimizing immediate postoperative functional ability, and aggressive postoperative physical therapy. This is an observational study to look at the outcomes of this program at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Areas of focus will be hospital length of stay, postoperative narcotic consumption, Visual Analog Scale scores, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and 30-day readmission rates, and health literacy rates.

This study will look at patient radiographic and functional outcomes who have or will undergo a reverse, extended peg, shoulder arthroplasty (replacement) that requires the use of glenoid bone grafting.

The overall goal of this study is to identify what Physical Therapy care components are associated with the best patient-reported functional outcome after Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. The investigators are specifically looking at outcomes at 6 and 12 months after surgery.

A prospective, multicenter, observational study using the SL-PLUS™ MIA Ti/HA femoral hip stem with the appropriate set of instruments.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the leading causes of lower limb disability among the elderly and can cause loss of knee joint proprioception that contributes towards deterioration of postural balance. Maintaining a good postural stability is essential while performing everyday functional activities and to avoid falls. Exercise training has been reported to reduce pain as well as improve performance of functional tasks in patients with KOA however compliance to exercise can be challenging due to pain, lack of motivation and traditional nature of exercise that can easily overtax patients. Furthermore, there are not exercise programs that are specifically designed for patients with KOA in order to address lost knee joint proprioception. Recent studies have also demonstrated that visual feedback during exercise can enhance the benefits of exercise training. Therefore, the aim of the proposed study is to implement an interactive sensor-based exercise training to improve postural balance, gait and activities of daily living in patients with KOA.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how a long-term treatment with Theraflex during 64 weeks affects pain intensity in the affected knee or hip joint, the activity in daily living, the quality of life and patient satisfaction with treatment.

The purpose of this study was to measure the differences in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and functional measurements between two groups of patients with Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis of the thumb.

Translation and Cross-cultural adaptation process of the Osteoarthritis Knee and Hip Quality of Life questionnaire. According to granted guidelines, shared by the developer of the questionnaire, the study was conducted among Hungarian patients affected by osteoarthrosis.
