Ozone therapy (OT) is used for the treatment of multiple musculoskeletal disorders. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in its use osteoarthritis (OA). The aim this double-blind randomized controlled trial was to evaluate efficacy OT compared with hyaluronic acid (HA) injections pain relief patients knee OA. Patients OA at least three months were included and randomly assigned receive intra-articular ozone or HA (once week). assessed baseline 1, 3, 6 after pain, stiffness,...
Return to play (RTP) decisions in football are currently based on expert opinion. No consensus guideline has been published demonstrate an evidence-based decision-making process (soccer). Our aim was provide a framework for RTP following lower limb muscle injuries sustained football. A 1-day meeting held Milan, 31 August 2018, involving 66 national and international experts from various academic backgrounds. narrative review of the current evidence provided delegates. Assembled came best...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) represents a widespread degenerative disease that causes pain and motor disability. Conservative treatments mainly focus on relieving symptoms, improving joint function, trying to delay surgery. Safety efficacy of hybrid cooperative complexes (2.4% sodium hyaluronate 1.6% chondroitin; HA-SC) for symptomatic KOA were investigated in single-arm, prospective, pilot study. Patients with visual analogue scale (VAS) score ≥ 4 Kellgren–Lawrence Grade < received single...
Overweight (OW) and obesity in children are important forerunners of cardiovascular risk, possibly through autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation, while physical exercise exerts a beneficial influence. In this observational study we hypothesise that OW might influence ANS profile even population performing high volume supervised exercise. We 103 young soccer players, homogeneous terms gender (all male), cultural background, school, age (11.2±1 years) routine, since they all belong to...
Background and Objectives: In the Western world, back pain sciatica are among main causes of disability absence from work with significant personal, social, economic costs. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate effectiveness a rehabilitation program combined administration Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Resveratrol, Cholecalciferol in treatment due herniated discs young patients terms resolution, postural alterations, taking painkillers, quality life. Materials...
Purpose Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMC-OA) is a prevalent hand disorder affecting growing number of people worldwide. While multidisciplinary approach might provide additional advantages, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory role intra-articular oxygen-ozone (O2O3) injections combined with physical therapy still unknown. To assess impact multimodal therapeutic combining O2O3 in patients TMC-OA.
Partial rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is quite a rare event in sports traumatology and information about its treatment lacking literature. In this paper long term effect conservative non-surgical two body-builders one shot-putter discussed, who reported partial while performing bench lifts with barbells. Functional recovery was evaluated few years after injury (from 4 to 7) an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex II, Lumex INC N. Y.), measuring maximal shoulder adduction-abduction torques...
Treatment of first patellar dislocation is usually conservative and the subsequent rehabilitation program based on specifically formulated objectives, which can be divided into different stages: stage 1: resolution pain, swelling inflammation; 2: recovery joint motion flexibility; 3: muscle strength; 4: motor patterns coordination; 5: sport-specific athletic action return to sporting activity. The aim, in management a patient affected by dislocation, achieve best possible functional...
Abstract Background and aim Growing attention is being given to utilising physical function measures better understand manage knee osteoarthritis (OA). The Fremantle Knee Awareness Questionnaire (FreKAQ), a self-reported measure of body-perception specific the knee, has never been validated in Italian patients. aims this study were culturally adapt validate version FreKAQ (FreKAQ-I), allow for its use with Italian-speaking patients painful OA. Methods FreKAQ-I was developed by means...
Telemedicine was shown to be indispensable during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic ensure continuity of care for fragile patients. We compared a telerehabilitation program versus an outpatient rehabilitation in women with breast cancer undergoing quadrantectomy surgery. There were 56 divided into two groups: treatment group (TG), made up 24 patients remote project program; and control (CG), composed 32 subjected same setting. At time enrollment (T0) end 8 weeks (T1), following questionnaire scores...
Scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity, and brace correction should be 3D too. There lack of knowledge the effect braces, particularly in sagittal transverse plane. The aim this study to analyse Sforzesco Brace correction, through all parameters provided by Eos imaging system.Design: This cross sectional from prospective database started March 2003. Participants: 16 AIS girls (mean age 14.01) treatment, with EOS x-rays, at start, after 1 month out first 4 months treatment. Outcome...
Bone marrow edema syndrome is a severely disabling painful condition without defined treatment and related to pathogenetic mechanisms not yet clearly recognized. We report the case of 59-year-old post-menopausal woman, affected by bone associated with early osteonecrosis femoral head secondary appearance rare migrant hip acetabulum. Clinical evaluation magnetic resonance imaging were used monitor outcome patient. Pre-treatment clinical revealed pain upon stepping left limb, reduced range...
