5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this project is to compare a novel sensorimotor ankle rehabilitation training (SMART) protocol for Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) against a standard of care (SOC) protocol to determine if it is more successful at producing successful one-year outcomes and lower rates of re-injury and improved health. This will address the identified needs for evidence-support and reintegration strategies to improve understanding of the management of patient rehabilitation strategies throughout the rehabilitation process following neuromusculoskeletal injury. The project will validate an innovative rehabilitation approach while providing metrics of success using a variety of clinical and innovative markers.
The aim of this study is to accumulate data about the influence of whole body vibration on the functional recovery of adult patients with various neuromuscular and musculoskeletal deficits requiring physical medicine and rehabilitation treatments.
The study will investigate if there are differences in the presence of: (1) prior injury, playing patterns, and physical fitness habits; (2) scapular control; and (3) cervical neuromuscular control and endurance deficits between musicians with and without current playing related musculoskeletal injuries.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early intervention with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for muscle strengthening immediately after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is more effective than voluntary exercise alone in countering changes in quadriceps muscle activation, force production, and function in older adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding hippotherapy treatment will improve balance for children ages 5-17 who have disabilities such as cerebral palsy and down syndrome. We also want to find out if by improving their balance the children increase their participation in age appropriate activities.
