Clinical Study to Assess the Effectiveness of the Device Patello

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Passiv Continuous Patella Mobilisation
• Interventions: Device: Patello

• Registration Number: NCT03512652
• Lead Sponsor: University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland

Brief Summary

The device "Patello" was designed to passively mobilize the Patella in cranial-caudal direction. Its application field lays in the rehabilitation of any knee pathology where knee range of motion may be restricted due to the Patella mobility.

Detailed Description

The effectiveness of the device Patello has not been tested so far. This clinical study aims to assess and proof the effectiveness of this device. The aim is to objectify the movement of the Patella induced by the device Patello in cranial / caudal direction. As outcome parameter serve ultrasound measurements of a bony reference point of the femur and the Patella and its displacement / distance after mobilization.
