Trial summary

Our aim in this study is to examine the functional and clinical results of patients who have undergone MPFL reconstruction at least 2 years after the operation. The presence of kinesiophobia of the patients will be evaluated and its relationship with functional outcomes will be examined. Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Postoperative outcome measurementsOther

    Kinesiophobia; It will be assessed on the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. Function; Lysholm knee score, kujala knee score, single-leg hop test, Y balance test and single leg sway index will be evaluated.

    Biodex Bio-balance system device will be used for single leg sway index.

Study groups in NCT06009822
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with Medial Patellofemoral Ligament reconstructionMust have undergone unilateral medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. At least 2 years post MPFL reconstruction surgery. Absence of patellar instability subsequent to the surgical procedure. Exclusion of patients with any orthopedic or neurological issues that might impact functionality, except for those who have undergone unilateral MPFL reconstruction.
Receives: Other: Postoperative outcome measurements

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Kinesiophobia

    Kinesiophobia refers to an excessive, irrational fear of movement or physical activity. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was used for assessment. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia is scored between 17-68. A high score indicates high kinesiophobia.

    Measured: up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Knee Score

    Function will be measured by the Lysholm knee score.The total score on the Lysholm Knee Score questionnaire can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better knee function and less impairment. General breakdown of the score interpretation:

    95-100: Excellent knee function 84-94: Good knee function 65-83: Fair knee function Below 65: Poor knee function

    Measured: up to 3 months

  2. Patellofemoral Knee Score

    Function will be measured by the Kujala Patellofemoral Knee Score. The total score on the Kujala Patellofemoral Knee Score questionnaire can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better knee function and less impairment. General breakdown of the score interpretation:

    100: No limitations or symptoms 85-99: Mild limitations or symptoms 70-84: Moderate limitations or symptoms Below 70: Severe limitations or symptoms

    Measured: up to 3 months

  3. Single-leg hop test

    The single-leg hop distance is an indicator of lower extremity function. The test evaluates an individual's lower limb strength, power, and overall functional performance. It specifically focuses on assessing an individual's ability to generate power and stability while performing a single-leg hop for maximal distance. When performing the test, the individual starts by standing on one leg at the starting point. The opposite leg is lifted slightly off the ground, and the hands can be placed on the hips or kept at the sides for balance. On the command to start, the individual hops forward on the single leg, aiming to jump as far as possible while maintaining control and balance. Perform 3 repetitions and record the longest distance jumped.

    Measured: up to 3 months

  4. Dynamic balance

    Dynamic balance will be measured by Y Balance Test. The Y Balance Test involves a person standing on one leg while reaching in anterior (forward), posteromedial (backward and to the side), and posterolateral (backward and to the other side) directions with the other leg. The person places their stance foot at the starting point on the central part of the Y-shaped device.While maintaining balance on the stance leg, the person reaches the free leg as far as possible along each of the three arms of the Y.The distance reached in each direction is measured and recorded.

    Measured: up to 3 months

  5. Static balance

    Static balance will be measured using a Biodex Balance System, single leg sway index test procedure. The device reports the person's body oscillations as sway index. A high stability index indicates poor postural control.

    Measured: up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Medial Patellofemoral Dislocation and Kinesiophobia, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact İnci H Ayas, Msc (+90 0312 216 26 01, inciayass@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Kinesiophobia (time frame: up to 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2023.
