To compare the health-related quality of life and functional outcomes patients with without periprosthetic infection after total joint replacement (TJR).62 uncomplicated TJRs 34 complicated deep were compared using a visual analogue scale for satisfaction, Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Assessment Quality Life, Short Form-36.Patients TJR had significantly poorer satisfaction in outcome (p<0.0001) disease-specific (p<0.0001). Six 8 quality-of-life scores also...
Effective treatment of hip pain improves population health and quality life. Accurate differential diagnosis is fundamental to effective treatment. The diagnostic criteria for one common problem, greater trochanteric syndrome (GTPS) have not been well defined.To define the clinical presentation GTPS.Forty-one people with GTPS, 20 osteoarthritis (OA), 23 age-matched sex-matched asymptomatic participants (ASC) were recruited. Inclusion exclusion ensured mutually exclusive groups.the Harris...
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...
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome can be severely debilitating. Ideal imaging modalities are not established, treatments reliably evaluated, and the underlying pathology is well understood.Using surgical histopathology findings as a gold standard, we therefore determined positive predictive value of preoperative ultrasound assessment for greater recalcitrant to nonoperative management. In addition, report outcomes gluteal tendon reconstructive surgery using validated clinical functional...
To evaluate if pelvic or hip width predisposed women to developing greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS).Prospective case control study.Four groups were included in the study: those gluteal tendon reconstructions (n=31, GTR), with conservatively managed GTPS (n=29), osteoarthritis (n=20, OA) and 22 asymptomatic participants (ASC).Anterior-posterior x-rays evaluated for femoral neck shaft angle; acetabular index, at lateral acetabulum, superior aspects of trochanter. Body mass waist,...
The purpose of this study is to explore academic faculty, employer, and recent graduate perspectives the work readiness Australian new physical therapists for private practice factors that influence preparation transition practice.This used a mixed-methods design with 3 surveys 12 focus groups. A total 112 participants completed survey, 52 participated in Descriptive statistics were summarize quantitative data, thematic analysis was analyze qualitative data. Triangulation across participant...
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...
To understand the kinematic effects of surgery, arthroplasty or conservative treatments, a noninvasive system to capture accurate 3D imaging functional activities in prospective, controlled studies is required. provide such technique, new algorithm was developed register CT data normal bones same 2D fluoroscopy frame. The produces digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) from and then filters this produce an edge-enhanced image. resulting image registered with version frame using similarity...
