Effect of Orthoses and Underfoot Vibration on Balance in Neuropathy
CMT - Charcot-Marie-Tooth DiseasePeripheral Neuropathy2 moreA cross-sectional study which will look at the effects of AFO's and vibrating insoles on balance performance in people with CMT disease.
Quantification of Nerve Stiffness in Neuropathies
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating PolyneuropathyCharcot-Marie-Tooth Disease2 moreThis project aims to understand how nerve mechanical properties are altered in patients with rare peripheral neuropathies . Stiffness of various peripheral nerves will be measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography. Patients will be compared with age-matched controls.
Genetics of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Dystrophy and Related Diseases
Peroneal Muscular AtrophyThis is a cross-sectional study to clarify the gene lineage distribution of CMT genes in CMT patients in my country, draw a frequency map of CMT gene distribution, and assist in determining the genetic diagnosis strategy of CMT diseases. All patients will be collected for clinical and electrophysiological data. Patients and families who meet the enrollment criteria will be tested for blood tests.
Carpal Tunnel Release in Diabetic Patients
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeDiabetes1 moreThe aim of this study is to extend a previously reported 1 year follow-up on carpal tunnel release, in matched diabetic and non-diabetic patients,to compare outcomes 5 years after surgery.
The Sacroiliac Joint With SIJ Nerve Entrapments and Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic Low Back PainThe overall goal of this study is to characterize the SIJ form, function, nerve entrapments, lumbo-pelvic configuration and their possible relationships with nonspecific chronic LBP in females and males. Specific aims: 1.To investigate the relationship between SIJ bridging and NSCLBP in females and males. 2. To investigate the prevalence and characterization of nerve entrapment of the lumbar sacral plexus around the SIJ in females and males. 3. To investigate the correlation between the lumbar sacral plexus nerve entrapments around the SIJ and NSCLBP in females and males. 4. To investigate the relationship between the lumbar sacral plexus nerve entrapments around the SIJ and lumbo-pelvic morphology in females and males. 5. To characterize the location and severity of articular degenerative changes in the SIJ and its relationship with lumbo-pelvic morphology in females and males. 6. To investigate the relationship between articular degenerative changes in the SIJ and LBP in females and males.
