The hypothesis was that primary osteoarthrosis hip is a secondary manifestation subclinical developmental disorder hip. 8 per cent (215 skeletons). Severe more prevalent in association with (116 [38 cent] 306 hips) than matched controls (seventy-nine [26 (p < 0.005). In had unilateral...
To examine the association between "overscheduling" and sports-related overuse acute injuries in young athletes to identify other potential contributing factors create a working definition for "overscheduling injury."Survey.Six university-based sports medicine clinics North America.Athletes aged 6 18 years (13.8 ± 2.6) their parents pediatric medicine-trained physicians.Questionnaires developed from literature review expert consensus investigate overscheduling were completed over 3-month...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in impairments cognitive skills as well depression. As a result of these changes cognition and mood, individuals with TBI may reduce their levels participation report reduced health-related quality life (HrQOL). The current study compares past present activity between healthy participants persons using client-centred approach measurement. We additionally examine the relationship participation, emotional functioning HrQOL TBI. Fifty-two who live...
To investigate the relationship between thigh muscle flexibility and anterior knee pain in adolescent athletes, we examined 46 skaters. We taught them exercises later retested 28 of them. Three fourths skaters who improved their quadriceps eliminated pain. Two three lost developed Analysis all examinations showed that with had tighter muscles than those without Poor hamstring was correlated patellofemoral This study shows athletes may improve after counseling indicates a clear
Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim was to evaluate effectiveness at 1-year follow-up a manualised group-based programme (‘FACETS’) for managing MS-fatigue. One-year pragmatic multi-centre randomised controlled trial. People with MS significant fatigue were FACETS plus current local practice (FACETS) or alone (CLP), using concealed computer-generated randomisation. Participant blinding not possible. Primary outcome measures severity...
Fatigue is one of the most disabling symptoms multiple sclerosis (MS). While progressive resistance training (PRT) has been shown to reduce fatigue in persons with MS, it not clear why these reductions occur. One hypothesis that PRT may induce functional changes caudate, a region highly implicated MS fatigue. The aim current study was effects on overall impact and resting-state connectivity caudate reporting severe Participants were semi-randomly assigned either 16-week home-based (n = 5) or...
Figure skating coaches have become concerned about the increasing number of injuries among competitive skaters, particularly pair skaters. This study prospectively examines incidence, severity, and cause sustained by a group elite skaters ice dancers. Thirty-three serious injuries, causing skater to alter training significantly or cease completely for at least 7 consecutive days, were recorded over 9 month period. Female senior reported an average 1.4 other groups averaged greater than 0.5...
This study examined the relationship between individual and family ratings on a measure of frontal behaviors using Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe). Additionally, this investigated whether self-reported symptoms frontal-lobe dysfunction correspond to neuropsychological performance, particularly those tests measuring executive functions. Thirty-three individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) 19 healthy completed FrSBe measures. Results indicated that self-ratings...

Abstract Background The Life-Space Assessment (LSA) has demonstrable validity and reliability among people sampled from nonclinical settings. Its properties in clinical settings, especially physical therapy services, are less well established. Objective aim of this study was to test the construct/convergent validity, responsiveness, floor/ceiling effects LSA patients who had musculoskeletal, orthopedic, neurological, or general surgical presentations were receiving individually tailored,...
Central fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). It has a profound impact on quality life and negative effect cognition. Despite its widespread impact, poorly understood very difficult to measure. Whilst basal ganglia been implicated nature role involvement with still unclear.

In brief This study determined the nature and incidence of skating injuries in 19 high-level competitors ranging from 11 to years old. The subjects completed a one-page questionnaire on their history, warm-up routine, medical problems, injuries, they were examined for anatomical malalignment, strength, flexibility, evidence injury. Most overuse, but there few serious large number hours spent training, injury compares favorably with other sports. authors say low may be related stretching...
Is early sports specialization bad? Or could really have positive outcomes for young athletes? Introduction The physical activity required most has numerous health benefits—physical, mental, and academic (5,22,35). Some athletes specialize in a single sport, while others play multiple throughout adolescence. Primary reasons to include enjoying that sport; lifestyle access particular such as running (34); hope financial or other special success; parental pressure. Regions with few resources...
