Assessment of the Safety and Performance of Elbow Supports in the Context of Epicondylitis or a...

EpicondylitisElbow Sprain

Decathlon has developed elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products which are medical devices that must be positioned around the elbow during sport practice, in order to limit symptoms related to epicondylitis or previous sprains (elbowMID500 only). The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products to demonstrate safety and performance of these devices in a real-world setting. Outcome data collected from this study will provide the basis for Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) reporting, Clinical Study Report (CSR), Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) on Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP devices and support peer-reviewed publications on products performance and safety.

Implementation of an App-based Walking Aid Skills Training Program

Lower Limb; Sprain (Strain)Lower Limb Fracture

Walking aids (WA), such as crutches, canes, and walkers allow individuals to move independently after lower body impairment. Improper WA use may lead to upper body discomfort, pain, or injury. Improper WA use has been associated with increased risk of falls, which may result in traumatic brain injury or even death. WA-related accidents and injuries may not only affect an individual patient's quality of life; they may also increase healthcare system resource use and caregiver burden. WA-related injuries may be preventable if WA are properly fit and sufficient training is provided to the WA user. Smartphone applications (apps) are widely used technologies that have been used to improve health outcomes in populations of healthy and chronically ill individuals. We have developed an app that can be used to teach WA users how to properly fit and use their devices. This app is called Improving Canadians' Walking Aid skills, Learning, and Knowledge (ICanWALK©). The development of the Walking Aids Skills Measurement Test (WASMT ©) allows for the objective measurement of how well an individual uses their walking aid. It is important to develop such a measurement in order to see whether interventions such as mobile applications change a walking aid user's ability to walk with their device. This 12-item objective evaluation measures the ability of an individual to use their walking aid in different settings, while picking up an object off the ground, navigating stairs, or encountering terrains such as gravel or grass. Three hypotheses will be explored through this clinical trial. Hypothesis 1: Patients who use the ICanWALK© app while using crutches will have improved balance confidence compared to the control group. Hypothesis 2: Patients who use the ICanWALK© app while using crutches will have improved balance, improved mobility, less pain, and fewer falls compared to the control group. Hypothesis 3: The WASMT © will have an inter-rater reliability of 70% (k=0.85).

Waterproof Casting Versus Standard Casting for Short Leg Walking Casts

Ankle FracturesFoot Fracture5 more

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.

Ingestion Effect of Formula Milk With Triple Bifidobacteria Strains on Fecal Quality and Metabolites...

ChildrenOnly

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare healthy children between 1 to 3 years old. The main question it aims to answer is Is there an effect towards fecal quality after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? Is there an effect towards short-chain fatty acid composition after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? Is there an effect towards clinical profile after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? The clinical trial period started off with all the participants consuming a milk formula three times a day, for 14 days as a baseline period. Afterwards, the participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: probiotic and placebo. Following the baseline period, participants in the probiotic group consumed formulated milk supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains, while the placebo group ingested the same formulated milk without adding triple Bifidobacteria strains for 90 days. Researchers will compare the probiotic and placebo groups to see if there are any effects towards the fecal quality, short-chain fatty acid level and clinical profile after consuming the milk formula.

Development of Chronic Ankle Instability After Acute Ankle Sprain

Ankle Sprains

The goal of this observational prospective cohort study is to determine key clinical predictors for chronic ankle instability and return to sports in patients who suffered an acute ankle sprain. The researchers will evaluate clinical outcome measures and patient reported outcome measures on 3 test moments and at 12 months of follow-up.

Predictive Value of Right Atrial Strain in Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing...

Postoperative Atrial FibrillationStrains

The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery is around 30%. POAF increases the risk of developing permanent atrial fibrillation and raises the risk of cardiac decompensation, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and death. While the role of the left atrium (LAF) in the pathophysiology of POAF is now well-established, the part of the right atrium (RA) remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest a correlation between RA function and POAF. RA function can be assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with dedicated software for measuring the RA strain (RAS). RA function is thus divided into three phases: reservoir (RASr), conduit, and contraction. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a significant alteration in RAS predicts POAF in various clinical contexts. Therefore, it is essential to investigate whether alterations in RA function assessed by 2D-STE (RAS) are associated with an increased occurrence of FAPO after cardiac surgery. It is essential to investigate whether alterations in RA function assessed by 2D-STE (RAS) are associated with an increased occurrence of FAPO after cardiac surgery.

Interest of Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Severity of Lateral Ankle Sprain

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprain is a frequent and widely trivialized trauma. Misdiagnosed or poorly treated, it can recur and thus develop into chronic ankle instability. It can be associated with complications which, if not detected early, can lead to long-term sequelae.

Groin InjuryGroin Strain1 more

Rink hockey teams from senior category (adults) will be recruited to implement a groin injury prevention program consisting on the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) throughout the regular season, 0 times, once or twice per week (september 2023-march 2024) Weekly team exposure to training sessions and games will be collected as well as cases of groin problems in the entire population When the season ends, the number of groin problems will be compared between teams that used the prevention program once a week against twice a week or no sessions a week.
