Active clinical trials for "Contracture"

The BOND study is a prospective, randomised single blinded controlled trial to assess the effect of night splinting in patients who have had collagenase injection and manipulation therapy for Dupuytren's Contracture.

Investigator researched that the effect of trunk and lower extremity muscle strength on hamstring flexibility in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

To evaluate the effect of collagenase clostridium histolyticum treatment at the Department of Orthopaedic surgery at Horsens Regional Hospital after minimum one-year follow-up (FU).

The objective of this study is to obtain and compare bilateral elbow joint synovial fluid from patients with unilateral intraarticular elbow fracture and a contralateral healthy appearing elbow joint. The synovial fluid samples will undergo several forms of analysis for metabolites and proteins. Matched-pair statistical analysis will be performed to determine the metabolites and proteins that may play the greatest role in development of joint contracture.

This observational study will prospectively collect data on treatment options, patient/investigator satisfaction, requirement for retreatment or additional treatment, and long-term outcomes of 3 treatment modalities(XIAFLEX, fasciectomy, or fasciotomy/needle aponeurotomy) in patients with Dupuytren's contracture. In addition, this study will provide additional health economics and utilization data.

The overarching goal for this prospective randomized controlled trial (PRCT) is to determine whether a virtual-environment, home-rehabilitation program improves functional outcomes for individuals after a burn injury. Specifically, this study will test the efficacy of a technology-assisted rehabilitation program against current standard of home therapy.

Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) will be extracted from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. Transurethral bladder neck resection followed by the injection of ADRCs suspension will be performed. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.

Parameterize the Pompage technique with an anatomical model cervical region to simulate specific procedures. Quantify the times, displacements, and facilitate the training of students and professional of physical therapy.

Patients with common hand conditions will be randomized to one of two groups- one will receive a question prompt list, the other will receive a list of 3 questions

Surgery is a common treatment type for damaged joints, tendons and nerves in the upper limb where conservative measures are inappropriate or have failed. These conditions are common and result in significant levels of pain and functional disability. The investigators are conducting a broad ranging study of variation in the provision of surgical treatment and factors affecting outcomes after surgical treatment of upper limb conditions. This will be a population-based study of all patients undergoing surgical treatment funded by the National Health Service (NHS) of England over a nineteen-year period. This study will help to understand the factors associated with a poor outcome following surgery, which can be shared with patients considering treatment options. The investigators will also document current and future health service burden associated with commonly performed surgical procedures including complications and repeat operations.
