“…2 Rehabilitation care, although recognised as important, has been explored more extensively on its effects in children than in adults. 3 The Girdlestone resection arthroplasty was first described by Gathorne Robert Girdlestone in 1928 as a technique to treat tuberculosis and other disorders of the hip wherein no formal articulation between the pelvis and femur is established after resection of the femoral head. 4 With the advent of replacement arthroplasty, the Girdlestone arthroplasty is considered as a procedure performed as a last resort in cases of significant infection, poor bone stock or failed total hip arthroplasty due to decreased functional outcomes.…”

Functional outcomes of an adult with osteogenesis imperfecta after rehabilitation post bilateral Girdlestone procedure

This is a case of a 54-year-old woman managed as a case of osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 who sustained a left subtrochanteric fracture and eventual ankylosis of both hips after surgery and immobilisation. These injuries rendered her bedridden, maximally assisted in transitions and transfers, and unable to be positioned past 30° of backrest elevation. The patient underwent a bilateral Girdlestone procedure and had tailored progressive postoperative rehabilitation in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. The patient also continued to receive bisphosphonates during her preoperative and postoperative period, to improve bone stock and aid in relieving pain. Through the efforts of a team of physiatrists, geneticists and orthopaedic surgeons, the patient was able to achieve pain-free sitting, independent transitions and short-distance ambulation, which have allowed her to care for herself more effectively and return to her work and activities of daily living.

“…Electrotherapy or electrostimulation includes various therapeutic approaches related to orthopedic injuries and diseases whereby a low-level current is introduced into the human body to stimulate and activate muscles or nerves. 1–3 It enables muscles to be exercised without the usual neurostimulation or to suppress pain sensations. 4–7 Different modalities of electrotherapy can be distinguished depending on the chosen stimulation parameters and the planned outcome.…”

Electrical stimulation can be used for the treatment of various nerve and muscle injuries as well as acute and chronic pain conditions. An electrical pulse is applied to a muscle or nerve to activate excitable tissue using internal or external electrodes with the aim of building muscle strength, artificially creating or supporting limb movement or reducing pain. Textile electrodes offer several advantages over conventionally used disposable surface electrodes: they are flexible and re-usable and they do not require hydrogels, thereby avoiding skin irritation and allergic reactions and enhancing user comfort. This article presents a literature review that assesses the state of research on textile electrode constructions. Based on the review, production approaches and designs are compared, methods for evaluating stimulation discomfort and pain are proposed and issues related to user compliance are discussed. The article concludes with suggestions for future work focused on investigating the impacts of textile-based electrode parameters on comfort, convenience and ease of use.
