Effects of Intraarticular IL1-Ra on Pain and Inflammatory Mediators After Knee Arhroscopy

Knee Injuries

This project investigates the relation between acute pain and local inflammation. Pain reported by the patients for knee arthroscopy are compared with local changes in inflammatory mediators by using microdialysis technique. Patients with moderate-to-severe pain are included in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of anakinra given intra-articularly.

Optimizing Gait Biomechanics for Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Prevention

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesPost-traumatic Osteoarthritis5 more

The purpose of this study is to report the feasibility and determine the initial effects of 18 sessions of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on retention and transfer of normalized gait biomechanics and improvements in indicators of early post-traumatic osteoarthritis development in those with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at 6 and 8-week posttests.

Short Term Immobilization of the Lower Limb

WeaknessMuscle5 more

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of one week of knee-joint immobilization on muscle size, strength, neuromuscular function, and brain function. In addition, the effects of two different interventions (i.e., neuromuscular electrical stimulation and action observation/mental imagery) throughout immobilization will be determined. Following the immobilization period, participants that have lost strength will be rehabilitated with twice weekly resistance training sessions, and sex-based differences in rehabilitation timelines will be examined.

Effectiveness of an Exercise Protocol on Alteration of Knee Joint Position Sense in Futsal Players...

Proprioceptive DisordersKnee Injuries1 more

This research presents a randomized clinical trial which evaluates the effectiveness of an exercise protocol on the knee-joint repositioning in futsal players related to a post-match muscle fatigue. Our hypothesis is the improvement of sensation in a knee in joint position before and after the match when performing our exercise program.

Impact of Pilates on Running Mechanics

StrengthExercise1 more

INTRODUCTION: Core strengthening, balance, and flexibility programs such as Pilates have been advocated to affect running mechanics and prevent lower extremity injuries positively. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 12-week mat-based Pilates exercise program on dynamic knee valgus alignment in runners. METHODS: Thirty-four young male and female adults performed a running protocol at baseline. The protocol consisted of the participants running on a treadmill at a constant five miles per hour (mph) for four minutes. Post-examination, participants were randomly assigned to a Pilates or control group (n=16 and n=18, respectively). A certified Pilates instructor gave the Pilates group a 12-week home-based program. To ensure participants in the Pilates group performed exercises correctly, the Pilates instructor conducted the first session, and provided feedback to each participant. Participants in both groups performed the same running testing protocol every four weeks. Knee valgus was measured as the medial displacement of the knee joint center during the running stance phase. Repeated measures Analysis of Variance (RepANOVA) was calculated at baseline and 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks post examinations to compare knee valgus during running.

Effect of Neuromuscular Warm-up on Injuries in Female Athletes

Knee InjuriesAnterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries2 more

The goal of the study is to determine effect of coach-led neuromuscular warm-up on non-contact, lower extremity (LE) injury rates among female athletes in a predominantly non-white public high school system. The investigators hypothesized the warm-up would reduce non-contact LE injuries.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fondaparinux for the Prevention of Venous Blood Clots...

ThrombosisVenous

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fondaparinux in comparison with a heparin (nadroparin) in preventing deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the leg veins), whether symptomatic or detected by ultrasound, and pulmonary embolism (blood clots that migrate to the lungs) in patients with leg injuries below the knee that require a cast or other type of immobilization but not surgery.
