Hip replacement surgery has been a life-changing procedure for individuals grappling with debilitating hip conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures. Over the years, continuous strides in medical technology have ushered in substantial enhancements in hip prostheses, offering patients the prospect of regaining mobility, alleviating pain, and improving their overall ...
The BEAR Implant rehabilitation program is designed to protect your ACL during the healing process while helping you meet important rehabilitation goals. The BEAR Implant has been used in humans for more than eight years. Clinical studies have shown that patients who follow the recommended rehabilitation program are more likely to successfully return to their prior activities. Wearing your ...
The BEAR Implant is designed to help your body restore your own ACL. Following the procedure, your body will be working hard to heal your own ACL tissue. During this time, your new ACL is delicate. Following the rehabilitation program that has been carefully designed for the BEAR Implant will help protect your ACL during the healing process while enabling you to meet important rehabilitation ...
Depending on the severity, osteoarthritis (OA) can be a seriously debilitating condition. This is particularly true when it takes effect on an individual’s hips or knees, joints that are essential for basic mobility. 2017 data published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases by Saeid Safiri, PhD, of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, and his colleagues, shows a consistent and ...
Abstract Background Impaired neuromuscular control and degeneration of the multifidus muscle have been linked to the development of refractory chronic low back pain (CLBP). An implantable restorative-neurostimulator system can override the underlying multifidus inhibition by eliciting episodic, isolated contractions. The ReActiv8-B randomized, active-sham-controlled trial provided ...
