<h3>Importance</h3> The burden of injury and costs wrist fractures are substantial. Surgical treatment became popular without strong supporting evidence. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether current surgical for displaced distal radius provided better patient-reported pain function than nonsurgical in patients 60 years older. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this multicenter randomized clinical trial parallel observational study, 300 eligible were screened from 19 centers Australia...
Abstract Background Minimal clinically important change (MCIC) represents the minimum patient-perceived improvement in an outcome after treatment, individual or within a group over time. This study aimed to determine MCIC of knee flexion people with OA non-surgical interventions using meta-analytical approach. Methods Four databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane, Web Science and CINAHL) were searched for studies randomised clinical trials intervention duration ≤ 3 months that reported ( Δ ) (mean...
Objective Describe research methods used in priority-setting exercises for musculoskeletal conditions and synthesise the priorities identified. Design Scoping review. Setting population Studies that elicited of patients/consumers, clinicians, researchers, policy-makers and/or funders any condition were included. Methods analysis We searched MEDLINE EMBASE from inception to November 2017 James Lind Alliance top 10 priorities, Cochrane Priority Group, Musculoskeletal Back Groups review...
<h3>Importance</h3> Distal radius fractures are common and managed with or without surgery. Current evidence indicates surgical treatment is not superior to nonsurgical at 12 months. <h3>Objective</h3> Does for displaced distal in patients 60 years older provide better patient-reported wrist pain function outcomes than 24 months? <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this secondary analysis of a combined multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) parallel observational study, 300 were...
In Brief Study Design. Three experiments to validate the use of flexible electrogoniometer (FEG) as a tool measure thoracic kyphosis. Objective. To investigate accuracy, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity FEG applied spine. Summary Background Data. Thoracic kyphosis is commonly measured by Cobb angle from lateral radiograph. Other less-invasive tools have been developed, but all yield only static measurements or are restricted laboratory. The FEG, which can record joint angles...
Total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) produces a spectrum of outcomes. We investigated this by reviewing 77 consecutive TWA performed for inflammatory and post-traumatic arthropathies, instability as salvage procedure.All operations were single surgeon using specifically designed pre-contoured dorsally applied non-locking plate at centre.Median post-operative Buck-Gramcko Lohman (BGL), Disabilities the Arm, Shoulder Hand Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation scores six years (interquartile range (IQR) 3 to...
Many injury prevention and rehabilitation programs aim to train hamstring quadriceps co-activation constrain excessive anterior tibial translation protect the cruciate ligament (ACL) from injury. However, despite strong clinical belief in its efficacy, primary evidence supporting training of hamstrings muscles for ACL is quite limited. Therefore, purpose study presented this paper was determine if hamstring-quadriceps alters knee joint kinematics, also establish it affects elongation. A...
The anatomy of the cervical spine musculature visible on magnetic resonance (MR) images is poorly described in literature. However, correct identification individual muscles clinically important because certain conditions spine, for example whiplash associated disorders, idiopathic neck pain, nerve root avulsion and spondylotic myelopathy, are with different morphological changes specific MR images. Knowledge precise structure crucial when comparisons contralateral side or normal required...
Age-related thoracic hyperkyphosis can lead to poor health outcomes including pain and dysfunction. Physiotherapists are fundamentally involved in the assessment treatment of this problem but there is no published data that details strategies or attitudes practitioners with respect hyperkyphosis.The purpose study ascertain current physiotherapy practice for, to, Australia.A stratified random sample (N = 468) Australian physiotherapists all states territories working hospitals, outpatient...
An acetabular prosthesis orientated outside the 'safe zone' is one of key contributing factors in increasing complications after total hip replacement (THR). Although orientation routinely assessed using supine x-rays, standing x-rays have been proposed because a change body position alters pelvic tilt and therefore orientation. This study aimed to assess whether components within can also be standing. Thirty patients (12M, 18F) had lateral antero-posterior taken positions six weeks post...
Barium sulfate and lead oxide contrast media are frequently used for cadaver‐based angiography studies. These have not previously been compared to determine which is optimal the visualisation measurement of blood vessels. In this study, lower limb vessels 16 embalmed Wistar rats, four sets cannulae known diameter, were injected with one three different agents (barium resin, barium gelatin, combined milk powder). All then scanned using micro‐computed tomography (CT) 3‐D reconstructions...
Abstract Background We aimed to identify predictors of distant metastatic recurrence (DMR) in patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNcSCC) nodal metastases treated curative intent. Methods Predictors DMR were identified using Cox regression a multicenter study 1151 patients. Results The 5‐year risk was 9.6%. On multivariate analysis, immunosuppression (HR 2.93; 95% CI: 1.70–5.05; p < 0.001), size >6 cm [versus ≤3 2.77; 1.09–7.03; = 0.032)], ≥5 1–2 2.79;...
