Active clinical trials for "Joint Instability"

To date, use of arthroscopic procedure to perform Latarjet procedure is still technically demanding. The benefits of arthroscopic procedure need to be evaluated compared to the mini-invasive approach. The aim of this study was to assess postoperative pain during the first week, and the positioning of coracoid bone block at the anterior aspect of the glenoid. At minimum 2 years follow-up, the recurrence of shoulder instability and functional evaluation of patients according to the Western Ontario Score Index (WOSI) were assessed.

Prospective, monocenter post market clinical follow-up of a primary knee replacement bearing the CE-mark. 200 subjects will be recruited and followed up for up to ten years or until revision of the primary knee endoprosthesis, whichever occurs first. Documentation of clinical and radiological parameters within the clinical routine pre-operative and post-operative at 3 and 12 months and 2, 5 and 10 years to evaluate time to revision, pain situation, knee functionality, mobility and stability.

Hypermobility is more than normal joint laxity, mobility, and range of motion. It is characterized by increased laxity and fragility of connective tissues. Symptoms from hypermobility can begin at any age and affect women more than men. People are at higher risk than other people. It is stated that hypermobility is an important factor in orthopedic injuries and diseases. Individuals with hypermobility have more frequent orthopedic complaints and the problems are usually idiopathic and chronic. Studies have reported that proprioception and musculoskeletal reflex function may be affected independently of symptoms in hypermobile individuals. Therefore, evaluating hypermobility is very important in preventing hypermobility-related problems and injuries and developing appropriate treatment methods. Although the Beighton score is the most commonly used scoring method to determine hypermobility, it may be insufficient to determine hypermobility of the lower extremities. The Lower Limb Assessment Score (LLAS) has been reported to be one of the most appropriate scoring methods for assessing lower extremity hypermobility in the literature. The aim of this study is to adapt LLAS to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.

Functional instability should be considered as a potential cause of residual ankle impairment and instability. Even if neuromuscular anomalies are detected, the precise cause of injury and the most efficient prevention strategies remain uncertain. The use of standardized and validated research instruments is strongly advocated. This is due in part to the idea that it allows for international and cross-national comparison of results. Another assumption is that utilizing validated tools increases confidence that they are measuring what they are intended to measure. However, a previously validated tool does not guarantee its applicability in a new period, culture, or setting. The rationale of study is to provide a valid and reliable tool translated into native language of Urdu speaking populations so that self-evaluation of ankle instability can be assessed and re-assessed over the time. The questionnaire is translated into various languages including; French, Japanese, Brazilian, Persian, Thai, Malay, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Turkish and Spanish; whereas, Pakistani Urdu version has not yet studied. The present study fills this literature gap and serves a large proportion of Urdu community around the globe; specially, Pakistan. By measuring the psychometric properties of this scale in Urdu version, quantitatively strengthens up the evidence and patients themselves can report their exact level of disorder by answering a set of questions in their own language.

The aim of this study is to adapt ULHAT to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.

The plantar plate is an important static stabilizer of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints, and disruptions of the plantar plate can lead to significant instability and lesser toe deformities.Our study proposes an inexpensive and versatile method for plantar plate repair

The goal of the current study is to objectively measure intraoperative the initial thumb stability after trapezium removal when performing trapeziectomy, alone or in combination with suspension and tendon interposition and to evaluate if there are differences in the stability between the patients and with the different surgical steps. Additionally, the subjective stability rating of the surgeon will be compared with the objective measures and if there is a correlation between clinical/patient-related parameters and the measured intraoperative stability.

shows that children and adults with joint hypermobility may be identified with common clinical problems that are unrelated, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a range of gastrointestinal functional disorders [4-6]. Considering the relationship of joint hypermobility with joint muscle tone and posture, sensory processing skills may also be affected in individuals with hypermobility. No study in the literature examines the relationship between joint hypermobility and sensory processing. This study was planned to detect joint hypermobility as early as 12-14 months and to examine its relationship with sensory processing skills.

Compare various dynamic biomechanical markers (distances and angles) in the wrist during dynamic CT studies in three groups of patients: Normal subjects, with scapholunate instability and with other types of wrist instability.

The goal of this study is to translate Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index into Urdu and test its authenticity and coherence among the Pakistani community with Shoulder instability. Also check its correlation with Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire, Rowe score , Walch-Duplay score and Visual Analogue Scale.
