The Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has an ongoing effort to create evidence-based practice guidelines for orthopaedic physical therapy management patients with musculoskeletal impairments described in World Health Organization's International Classification Functioning, Disability, and (ICF). purpose these revised clinical is review recent peer-reviewed literature make recommendations related neck pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2017;47(7):A1–A83....
Measurement of gait performance in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) can be challenging because the daily fluctuations and progressive nature condition. The 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) is commonly used to measure speed limitations. Existing research on 10MWT PD controls for many variables inherent this condition, rendering results test settings where these are not controlled questionable. purpose study was estimate under encountered clinical conditions test-retest reliability minimal...
Context : Handheld dynamometers provide clinicians an objective measure of lower-extremity force production at the hip and knee. While push-based are common in clinical practice, they can be associated with patient discomfort, standardization methods is challenging when forces exceed ability rater. Development novel, pull-based allow for better comfort, but validity between must established before integration into practice. Therefore, purpose this study was to compare measurement push-...
Background: Shoulder and elbow injuries in baseball pitchers, which can lead to significant pain disability, have been on the rise at all levels of play for 3 decades. Despite anatomic neurophysiological relationships, neck mobility has not explored as a contributor shoulder pitchers. Hypothesis: Impaired will increase risk college Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Posture, mobility, passive range motion were measured healthy pitchers during 2018 preseason. Time loss...
Background: Hyperkyphosis is associated with physical impairments, activity limitations, and reduced quality of life. Therefore, a simple, reliable, responsive, valid clinical measure dorsal kyphosis would be valuable to clinicians. Objective: To describe novel procedure for measuring kyphotic curvature—the inclinometric (IKM)—and provide an estimation reliability, responsiveness, validity. Methods: During 2 sessions spaced days apart, we used bubble inclinometer in 68 patients receiving...
A comprehensive understanding of lifestyle (health conditions and substance use), health-related quality life (HRQoL), flourishing (holistic representation health), physical activity can inform stakeholders (players, coaches, clinicians) help improve long-term health across the span.To describe (comorbidities or diagnoses), use, activity, HRQoL, in current former collegiate professional baseball players to assess relationship between playing position HRQoL/flourishing players.Descriptive...
Baseball has specific sport and positional demands that may modify joint pain compared with other sports. Persistent reduces function is an underlying reason for seeking medical care. The functional status of players after they stop competitive play are unknown. Such knowledge can assist clinicians in creating personalized physical examinations interventions baseball as transition to retirement. purpose this study was (1) evaluate persistent arm former (2) determine whether playing position...
OBJECTIVE: to compare step rate and tibial acceleration during an 8-km run performed outdoors versus on a treadmill. DESIGN: Repeated measures observational study. METHODS: Healthy adult runners (females: 9, males: 19) ran 8 km at self-selected speed A chest mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) was used measure while IMU collected acceleration. Linear mixed-effects models adjusted for were assess rate, as well peak vertical (PV) resultant (PRES) accelerations between conditions across the...
