BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a disabling musculoskeletal disease with no definite treatment. This study compared the effect of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) plus exercise in the treatment of patients with knee joint osteoarthritis. METHODS 54 eligible patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly allocated into two groups. (IRCT20121106113...

Background: Patellar crepitus after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not uncommon. The choice between patellarresurfacing or retention in TKA has remained controversial. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluatethe impact of patellar resurfacing on the incidence of patellar crepitus. In addition, we compared the clinical outcomesand satisfaction between the...

Abstract Background Pain in osteoarthritis (OA) has been attributed traditionally to local tissue injury causing ‘nociceptive pain’. However, recent studies suggest that neuropathic and central sensitization mechanisms may contribute the pain experience. relationship between these physical function not thoroughly addressed. This study aimed assess association of with knee OA. Results Participan...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare functional performance, force sense knee joint, kinesiophobia, quality life, and activity level between patients with partial meniscectomy healthy people.
 Methods: Twenty within six months three years postoperatively 20 were included in study. Maximal voluntary isometric muscle strength Quadriceps femoris the biofeedback device, life Western...

Total knee replacement (TKR) is the mainstay of treatment for people with end-stage knee OA among suitably "fit" candidates. As a high cost, high volume procedure with a worldwide demand that continues to grow it has become increasingly popular to measure response to surgery. While the majority who undergo TKR report improvements in pain and function following surgery, a significant proportion ...

Methods: 644 patients with a primary unilateral ACL reconstruction and a concomitant full-thickness cartilage lesion treated simultaneously by debridement (n=78) or microfracture (n=88), or receiving no treatment (n=191) of the cartilage lesion, registered in the Norwegian and the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry during 2005-2008 were included. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scor...

background: daily increased rate of anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injuries in athletes calls for more investigation in these patients to differentiate copers from noncoper acl-deficient (acld) knees as soon as possible. objectives: the current study aims to introduce a new electromyographic protocol, named voluntary response index (vri), that might help to categorize and differentiate patien...

When lying supine, due to the reaction force from mattress acting mostly through heel, an external knee-extension joint-torque is induced that keeps knee fully extended. This torque becomes zero if feet are hung over end of support. study investigated, in patients with knee-osteoarthritis (knee-OA) who routinely sleep whether a change such sleeping position would ameliorate pain and associated ...
