The influence of expectation on spinal manipulation induced hypoalgesia: An experimental study in normal subjectsBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2008
Michael E Robinson, Josh A Barabas, Mark D Bishop, Steven Z George, Joel E Bialosky
The mechanisms thorough which spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) exerts clinical effects are not established. A prior study has suggested a dorsal horn modulated effect; however, the role of subject expectation was not considered. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of subject expectation on hypoalgesia associated with SMT. Sixty healthy subjects agreed to participate and u...... hiện toàn bộ
Using External Joint Stabilizer – Elbow (EJS-E) for treating elbow instability—biomechanical assessment and clinical outcomesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 23 - Trang 1-11 - 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of using an External Joint Stabilizer – Elbow (EJS-E) for persistent elbow instability based on biomechanical experiments and analysis of clinical results. An EJS-E was used in 17 elbow instability patients. The median follow-up was 26 months (range, 12–42 months). We evaluated the flexion–extension and pronation-supination movement arcs, visual analog scal...... hiện toàn bộ
Successful treatment for bilateral femoral neck insufficiency fractures: a rare lesion case report and an updated review of the literatureBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 21 - Trang 1-6 - 2020

The incidence of insufficiency fracture (IF) at femoral neck is low, accounting for about 5% of all insufficiency fractures, and IF at bilateral femoral neck is less common with more occurrence in athlete or serviceman. With the aging of populations, more cases of bilateral femoral neck IF have occurred recently, while the standard clinical treatment still remains lacking due to the complexity of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Therapeutic effect of platelet-rich plasma on glucocorticoid-induced rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitroBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 23 - Trang 1-8 - 2022

Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a progressive and disabling disease caused by long-term or high-dose glucocorticoid use. Decreased osteogenesis and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are the main pathogenesis of GIONFH. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to play a promising role in bone regeneration. However, the effects of PRP o...... hiện toàn bộ
The efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid for reducing blood loss following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a multicenter retrospective studyBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-6 - 2019
Guorui Cao, Guo Chen, Qiang Huang, Zeyu Huang, Peter G. Alexander, Hang Lin, Hong Xu, Zongke Zhou, Fuxing Pei
The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether tranexamic acid (TXA) administration could reduce blood loss and transfusion risk after simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA). As a multicenter retrospective study, a total of 575 patients were assigned into three groups on the basis of TXA usage, including intravenous (IV) group (1 g IV TXA 5–10 min prior to the incision), combined...... hiện toàn bộ
High-energy dose of therapeutic ultrasound in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy: protocol of a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trialBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-11 - 2019

Patellar tendinopathy is an extremely debilitating condition and its treatment usually requires a combination of clinical approaches. Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) is one of the most available electrophysical agent in rehabilitation settings; however, there is also a lack of high-quality studies that test different dosimetric aspects of TUS. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-...... hiện toàn bộ
