Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study to Assess the Effectiveness of the Device Patello (NCT NCT03512652)

NCT ID: NCT03512652

Last Updated: 2025-12-02

Results Overview

Patellar cranial-caudal translation (in centimeters) is assessed repeatedly within a single passive continuous mobilization session. A total of 50 repetitions are performed at a constant mobilization speed. Ultrasound video sequences are recorded, and patellar translation is analyzed immediately after 1, 10, 20, 30, and 50 repetitions during the same session.

Measure
Patello
The participants' right knee was placed inside the patello device, a total of 50 repetitions, with a constant mobilisation speed, was conducted and the degree of translation was assessed after 1, 10, 20, 30 and 50 repetitions. Patello: The Patello is a new intervention device which mobilizes the Patella passively and continuously in cranial-caudal direction to increase Patella mobility.
