A Long-Term Follow-Up Of The Stability Study: Multicenter Rct Comparing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With And Without Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis In Individuals At High Risk Of Graft Failure, Katelyn M. Inch
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
One hundred and ninety-six patients at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic (FKSMC) undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) were randomized as part of the multi-center STABILITY study to receive either an isolated ACLR or ACLR with a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). The STABILITY study followed these patients up to two years postoperative, and a long-term follow-up protocol was initiated afterwards. Eighty-two patients from this center were seen at three, five and seven years postoperative as part of a long-term follow-up. Our primary outcome was a composite outcome of instability and graft failure. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcome measures …
The Clinical Value Of Oculomotor Assessments Across The Continuum Of Concussion, Dillon Richards
The Clinical Value Of Oculomotor Assessments Across The Continuum Of Concussion, Dillon Richards
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Concussions are complex conditions that are difficult to manage medically. Variations in symptom presentation, intricate neurophysiological processes, and the availability of a variety of possible assessment tools may contribute to this complexity. Clinicians must use a broad approach, employing both subjective symptom assessment and objective assessments to confirm a diagnosis and/or monitor progression and recovery. Oculomotor function after concussion may be an important indicator of injury, given the interconnectedness of oculomotor function, vestibulo-ocular and visual systems, and even cognition. Oculomotor function may be assessed objectively or indirectly using patient-reported symptom checklists as part of subjective assessments. One way of objectively …
Investigation Of Exercise, Nutrition, And High Tibial Osteotomy Interventions For Patients With Medial Dominant Knee Osteoarthritis, Codie Primeau
Investigation Of Exercise, Nutrition, And High Tibial Osteotomy Interventions For Patients With Medial Dominant Knee Osteoarthritis, Codie Primeau
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of two distinct interventions in improving outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus alignment: 1) a 12-week minimally supervised therapeutic exercise program with nutrition recommendations, 2) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
Methods: This dissertation involved four studies. Participants were recruited as part of two separate ongoing prospective cohort studies evaluating clinical, biomechanical, and physiological outcomes following a) a 12-week exercise and nutrition program (studies 1-2) or b) HTO (studies 3-4) for knee OA. For studies 1 & 2, we evaluated change in physiological measures (body composition, muscle strength, gait biomechanics), patient-reported …
Assessment Of Landing Biomechanics And Rehabilitation After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sheila S. Gagnon
Assessment Of Landing Biomechanics And Rehabilitation After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sheila S. Gagnon
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Aberrant landing biomechanics increase the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and are a focus of rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction. The purpose of the present thesis was to develop and evaluate methods of assessing landing mechanics and investigate the effects of different rehabilitation strategies after ACL reconstruction. Three studies were conducted. The first study used a Delphi process to develop the content of a Clinician-Rated Drop Vertical Jump Scale to evaluate jump landing mechanics during rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction. Twenty experts participated in four rounds of questioning, resulting in 92% agreement for knee valgus collapse, lateral trunk lean, insufficient …
