7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a mobilization with movement (MWM) technique performed by a physical therapist with those of a dynamic stretch with over pressure on active hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in those with active hip flexion ROM limitations. There is limited evidence available in the literature examining the therapeutic effects of MWM at the hip, the long term effects of MWM, or whether one modality is more effective than another. This study seeks to address these gaps in the literature by directly comparing the results of these two manual therapy interventions on active hip flexion ROM.
This study is looking to address the effectiveness of three different intervention on hip range of motion. There will be a therapist performed mobilization group, a self mobilization group, and a dynamic stretching group. Participants will be recruited from the University of South Carolina and randomly assigned between the three groups to have equal distribution and limit any biases. Participants will come in on two different days in order to receive the intervention on the first and have hip range of motion measured on both days. The investigators will be assessing if there is any significant difference between the three groups.
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of the Plastizote abduction brace compared to the Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and 2) compare parent/caregiver satisfaction between the Plastizote abduction brace and the Pavlik harness. The investigators hope to learn which brace treatment is best for a definable population so the appropriate brace can be chosen initially avoiding the time, expense, and frustration of a failed technique.
The overall objective of this study is to test for perturbations in intraoperative electroencephalogram (EEG) , cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and serum and cerebral spinal fluid biomarkers associated with delirium in high risk population having elective hip arthroplasty at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC).
The purpose of this study is to establish whether or not there is a clinical advantage to the use of Aquamantys® System from Medtronic Advanced Energy (formerly Salient Surgical Technologies) in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty via the anterior supine intermuscular surgical approach in terms of blood loss, transfusion and wound healing. Wound healing will be assessed by a blinded observer and based upon a simple and subjective criteria: a) as expected, b) better than expected or c) worse than expected. The blinded observer is experienced in the care of the surgical patient and wound evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and efficacy of the Encore Linear™ Hip System in a group of 200 patients for whom data has already been collected.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Trinity™ BIOLOX delta™ Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip System in comparison to the Trinity™ Acetabular Hip System,which is FDA cleared for use in the U.S. The comparison will be based upon clinical success at the Month 24 endpoint.
