Objective: To provide an extensive and up to date database for specific running related injuries, across the sexes, as seen at a primary care sports medicine facility, assess relative risk individual injuries based on investigation of selected factors. Methods: Patient data were recorded by doctors Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre over two year period. They included assessment anthropometric, training, biomechanical information. A model was constructed (with odds ratios their 95%...

the objective of this study was to characterize biomechanical effects step rate modification during running on hip, knee, and ankle joints so as evaluate a potential strategy reduce lower extremity loading risk for injury.three-dimensional kinematics kinetics were recorded from 45 healthy recreational runners treadmill at constant speed under various conditions (preferred, ± 5%, 10%). We tested our primary hypothesis that reduction in energy absorption by response would occur, primarily when...

Objectives: Seventeen running training clinics were investigated to determine the number of injuries that occur in a programme designed minimise injury rate for athletes 10 km race. The relative contributions factors associated with also reported. Methods: A total 844 primarily recreational runners surveyed three trials on 4th, 8th, and 12th week 13 “In Training” clinics. Participants classified as injured if they experienced at least grade 1 injury—that is, pain only after running. Logistic...

Chronic tendinosis of the Achilles tendon is a common overuse injury that difficult to manage. We report on new injection treatment for this condition.Thirty-six consecutive patients (25 men, 11 women; mean age, 52.6 years) with symptoms more than 3 months (mean, 28.6 months) underwent sonography-guided intratendinous 25% hyperosmolar dextrose every 6 weeks until resolved or no improvement was shown. At baseline and before each injection, clinical assessment performed using visual analogue...

Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision signals, making their causal role decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is for processing visual signals or instead accumulating evidence alternatives. We disrupted PPC activity optogenetically during compared effects on guided by auditory versus evidence. Deficits were largely restricted to decisions. To further test dominance PPC, evaluated electrophysiological...

This study examines the effect of progressive increases in footwear minimalism on injury incidence and pain perception recreational runners.One hundred three runners with neutral or mild pronation were randomly assigned a (Nike Pegasus 28), partial minimalist Free 3.0 V2) full shoe (Vibram 5-Finger Bikila). Runners underwent baseline testing to record training history, as well selected anthropometric measurements, before starting 12-week programme preparation for 10 km event. Outcome...

The objective of our study was to report on changes in the short-term sonographic appearance and 2-year follow-up for pain outcomes a large patient population with chronic Achilles tendinosis who underwent sonographically guided dextrose injections.One hundred eight tendons (86 midportion 22 insertional) from 99 patients experiencing greater than 6 months at either tendon insertion or were included study. Gray-scale (5-12 7-15 MHz) color Doppler sonography examinations preceded injection...

To report on the effectiveness of sonographically guided injections hyperosmolar dextrose at reducing pain associated with chronic plantar fasciitis.Case series.Ultrasound division St Paul's Hospital.20 referrals (3 men, 17 women; age 51 (SD 13) years) from local sports medicine primary care practitioners who had failed previous conservative treatments.A 27-gauge needle administered a 25% dextrose/lidocaine solution under sonographic guidance 6 week intervals returning for median three...

<b>Background and study aims:</b> A dilated gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) is thought to be associated with weight regain in patients Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Due a high rate of perioperative morbidity, surgical revision not generally performed. The aim this was assess the technical feasibility, safety, early outcomes procedure using commercially available endoscopic suturing device reduce diameter GJA. <b>Patients methods:</b> This retrospective analysis 25 consecutive who...

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether prolotherapy, an injection-based complementary treatment for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, improves pain, stiffness, and function in adults with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) compared baseline status. Design: This a prospective, uncontrolled 1-year follow-up. Setting: conducted outpatient setting. Participants: Adults at least 3 months KOA, recruited from clinical community settings, participated the study....

Background The present study examines the injury status in women runners who are randomised to receive a neutral, stability or motion control running shoe. Methods 81 female were categorised into three different foot posture types (39 30 pronated, 12 highly pronated) and randomly assigned Runners underwent baseline testing record training history, as well leg alignment, before commencing 13-week half marathon programme. Outcome measures included number of missed days due pain visual analogue...

Abstract Understanding how brain activity is related to animal behavior requires measuring multi-area interactions on multiple timescales. However, methods perform chronic, simultaneous recordings of neural from many areas are lacking. Here, we introduce a novel approach for independent chronic probe implantation that enables flexible, interrogation regions during head restrained or freely moving behavior. The approach, called indie ( in dependent d ovetail implants e lectrophysiology),...

The striatum integrates dopaminergic and glutamatergic inputs to select preferred versus alternative actions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. One way study action selection is understand how it breaks down in pathological states. Here, we explored cellular synaptic of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), a complication Parkinson's disease therapy characterized by involuntary movements. We used an activity-dependent tool (FosTRAP) conjunction with mouse...

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy-based exercise program versus dexamethasone injection for chronic plantar fasciopathy in workers standing prolonged periods time. Design: A parallel group nonblinded randomized controlled trial with 12-week follow-up. Setting: An outpatient sports medicine clinic Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Participants: Fifty-six required to stand greater than 5 h/d took part. Diagnosis from physiotherapist must include signs structural...

Plantar fasciitis is a common injury to the plantar aponeurosis, manifesting as pain surrounding its proximal insertion at medial calcaneal tubercle. Pain typically worse in morning when getting out of bed, and may subside after tissue sufficiently warmed up. For running-based athletes individuals who spend prolonged periods time on their feet work, become recalcitrant conservative treatments such ice, rest, anti-inflammatory medication. Exercise-based therapies have received only limited...

Abstract Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision signals, making their causal role decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is for processing visual signals or instead accumulating evidence alternatives. We optogenetically disrupted PPC activity during compared effects on guided by auditory vs. evidence. Deficits were largely restricted to decisions. To further test dominance PPC, evaluated...
