Clinical Studies

The Accuracy of 3D US Imaging of Acute Nerve Root Avulsions in Injuries of the Brachial Plexus Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to address a knowledge gap. Early diagnosis of nerve root avulsion injuries following brachial plexus trauma remain a barrier to the early treatment of these complex injuries. Traditionally, an observation period of 6 months following brachial plexus injuries has been utilized to allow for reinnervation. Reinnervation is not possible in the setting of nerve root avulsion from the spinal cord and waiting for reinnervation in this setting unnecessarily delays treatment and potentially compromises outcome. Having the ability to provide a real time evaluation of nerve root integrity would obviate the need of other more expensive and complex advanced imaging such as CT/myelography, currently considered the good standard.
The Accuracy of Assessing Wrist Range of Motion via a Telemedicine Video Interview Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of range of motion (ROM) measurements of the wrist and hand taken in person versus ROM taken during a telemedicine video interview.

Brachial Plexopathy in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Supraclavicular/Axillary Radiation Therapy as Primary Treatment Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this sstudy is to perform a retrospectively review patients who underwent regional nodal radiation therapy involving the supraclavicular region of the shoulder and to identify patients that subsequently developed a brachial plexopathy.
The Relationship Between Age and Carpal Tunnel Size Jacksonville, Fla.
Investigators hypothesis is that as human age increases, the size of the carpal tunnel decreases.
