Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Diseases"

Patients being treated for musculoskeletal tumors were included in the study. Their records were reviewed retrospectively and data was gathered regarding types of surgeries and post-operative complications including recurrence or development of secondary tumors if any.

Questionnaires are available to measure expectations based on patient and treatment expectations in musculoskeletal disorders. In order to elucidate the factors that change expectations in the treatment of pain, more valid and reliable measurement tools are needed to measure the expectations of patients. The validity and reliability made in Turkey, there is no comprehensive study that measures the expectations of treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the Turkish validity and characteristics of the Chronic Pain Expectations Scale in patients with pain due to chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

The most commonly identified organism for Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in orthopedic surgery is Staphylococcus aureus but risk factors for mono microbial S.aureus SSI are not well-known. The aim of this study was to evaluated the incidence rate of S. aureus SSI over the years and risk factors of these infections in a french University Hospital.

During Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), joint undergo considerable stress, which causes neuromuscular activation deficits of the quadriceps femoris muscle.The aim of the study is to investigate differences in quadriceps neuromuscular activity in the acute phase after surgery.

The proposed project will address the measurement and ramifications of out-of-home mobility problems in various orthopedic disorders in an innovative way, using advanced tracking technologies.

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Otorhinolarngologists

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are a major public health problem both in France and internationally. Our clinical research project focuses on WMSD of the shoulder (WMSD-S), which account for 32% and 23% of these disorders in France and Europe, respectively. In order to prevent WMSD-S, the assessment and rehabilitation of workers' physical and functional capacities (PFC) (e.g. joint amplitude) may complement current interventions (e.g. ergonomics) in a novel manner. As a result, the objectives of this project would be to conduct a cohort study assessing the PFC of caregivers with WMSD-S compared to those of healthy subjects and a randomised, controlled, single-blind, multicentre clinical study assessing the relevance of a rehabilitation program for caregivers with WMSD-S working in a hospital setting. This project would foster the promotion of evidence-based physiotherapy and lead to the development of a interdisciplinary research team dedicated to rehabilitation.

In the present study we will compare bacteriological findings and the incidence of SSI in relation to laminar airflow (LAF) ventilated ORs, conventional (also called displacement or mixed) ventilated ORs and conventional ventilated ORs with the addition of tables equipped with units providing a local LAF over the surgical instruments. The hypothesis is that there exist a correlation between number and types of airborne bacteria and bacteria in the surgical wound and on surgical instruments at the time of wound closure.

During COVID-19 pandemic, in the lockdown period, reduced physical activity and obesity were reported in children. In Turkey, face to face education was ceased after March 16, till the end of the previous academic year and education was tried to be substituted remotely. A temporary lockdown was implemented for children and young people under the age of 20, between April 3 and June 5 2020. At 45 days following the lockdown of children, 72% of the parents with children aged 6-13 years stated that their screen time had increased to a mean of 6.4 hours per day. Engaging more time in physical activity, and less in sedentary and leisure screen time was found to be associated with less anxiety during pandemic. Before 2020-2021 academic year, government and educators increased their preparedness for the second and third waves and improved the technological infrastructure. Depending on grades, preferences of the family, primary education continued remotely between November 2020 and July 2021. The aim of this study is to investigate whether musculoskeletal complaints are increased in school-age children during the pandemics and whether there is a relationship between the decreased level of physical activity, increased screen time, poor posture and musculoskeletal complaints.
