More than 670,000 total knee replacements are performed annually in the United States; however, high-quality evidence to support effectiveness of procedure, as compared with nonsurgical interventions, is lacking.
Patellofemoral pain affects a large proportion of the population, from adolescents to older adults, and carries substantial personal societal burden. An international group scientists clinicians meets biennially at International Research Retreat share research findings related patellofemoral conditions develop consensus statements using best practice methods. This statement, 5th held in Australia July 2017, focuses on exercise therapy physical interventions (eg, orthoses, taping manual...
Patellofemoral pain affects physically active and sedentary individuals, accounting for 11–17% of knee presentations to general practice1 ,2 25–40% all problems seen in a sports injury clinic.3 ,4 is characterised by anterior associated with activities such as squatting, rising from sitting stair ambulation. While traditionally viewed self-limiting, increasing research data suggest that patellofemoral often recalcitrant can persist many years,5–8 may cause decline participation.8 ,9 Despite...
Poor reporting of medical and healthcare systematic reviews is a problem from which the sports exercise medicine, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, science fields are not immune. Transparent, accurate comprehensive review helps researchers replicate methods, readers understand what was done why, clinicians policy-makers implement results in practice. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement its accompanying Explanation Elaboration document provide...
Background: The prevalence of adolescent knee pain is 33%, and patellofemoral (PFP) the most common diagnosis with a nontraumatic onset. 2-year prognosis PFP compared other types unknown. Purpose: To investigate among adolescents without PFP. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: In 2011, cohort 2200 aged 15 to 19 years answered an online questionnaire on musculoskeletal pain. Of these, 504 reported pain, 153 these were clinically diagnosed After 2 years, adolescents, as...
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is common among adolescents and associated with long-lasting disability. Patient education exercise therapy are commonly used treatments in primary secondary care but the effect of these unknown. We aimed to determine as an add-on patient compared alone.121 from 15-19 years age were cluster randomised or combined therapy. covered self-management information on PFP. Exercise consisted supervised exercises school premises (3/week for 3 months) instructions home-based...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness shoe inserts and plantar fascia‐specific stretching vs high‐load strength training in patients with fasciitis. Forty‐eight ultrasonography‐verified fasciitis were randomized daily plantar‐specific (the stretch group) or progressive performed every second day. High‐load consisted unilateral heel raises a towel inserted under toes. Primary outcome foot function index ( FFI ) at 3 months. Additional follow‐ups 1, 6, 12 At primary...
Daily pain and multi-site are both associated with reduction in work ability health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among adults. However, no population-based studies have yet investigated the prevalence daily adolescents how these respondent characteristics. The purpose this study was to investigate self-reported aged 12–19 years associations almost characteristics (sex, age, body mass index, HRQoL sports participation). A cross-sectional conducted 4,007 Denmark. Adolescents answered an...
The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to investigate the prevalence hip and groin pain in sub-elite male adult football Denmark (b) explore association between duration previous season with Copenhagen Hip Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) beginning new season. In total 695 respondents from 40 teams (Division 1-4) were included. Players completed (July-Sept 2011) a self-reported paper questionnaire on and/or during HAGOS. 49% (95% CI: 45-52%) reported Of these, 31% 26-36%) for >6 weeks....
Tendinopathies of the lower extremity (e.g. Achilles, patellar, and plantar heel pain) are common in both general sporting populations. However, prevalence incidence Danish practice is unknown. The aim was to determine rate lower-extremity tendinopathies a practice.In this registry-based study, we extracted data from electronic patient files all patients single practice. included 8836 patients. We searched ICPC-2 codes identify with either following tendinopathies: pain; Achilles...
Cross-sectional study.To compare pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) between adolescent females diagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome (PFPS) and gender- age-matched controls without musculoskeletal pain.PFPS is prevalent among adolescents may be associated reduced PPT both locally remotely from the site of reported pain. This indicate altered central processing nociceptive information. However, this has never been investigated in PFPS.Adolescents PFPS a comparison group were recruited...
Osgood Schlatter Disease (OSD) is a common injury in adolescents. A recent systematic review identified multiple tissue characteristics evaluated imaging studies, but the studies used different modalities, varying MRI protocols and were of poor study quality, which led to conflicting findings hamper clinical utility scans. This aimed develop evaluate reliability semi-quantitative scoring system for use adolescents with OSD. Based on review, we an expert-led process list describe soft...
By definition, patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) should not have residual symptoms beyond 24 hours. However, preliminary evidence indicates lasting challenges such as fatigue. It is unknown who develops fatigue, and the extent. This knowledge required to develop evidence-based support for patients. We aimed explore fatigue up 12 months after TIA determine what characterizes experience pathologic a prospective cohort study including diagnosed at specialized stroke unit. Fatigue...
Background: An increased pronated foot posture is believed to contribute patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), but the relationship between these phenomena still controversial. The objectives of this study were investigate prevalence PFPS in high school students and compare passive internal external hip rotation, dorsiflexion, navicular drop drift healthy with PFPS. Methods: All 16- 18-year-old a Danish invited join single-blind case-control (N = 299). received questionnaire regarding knee...
The navicular drop test is a measure to evaluate the function of medial longitudinal arch, which important for examination patients with overuse injuries. Conflicting results have been found regard differences in between healthy and injured participants. Normal values not yet established as foot length, age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI) may influence drop. purpose study was investigate BMI on during walking.Navicular measured novel technique (Video Sequence Analysis, VSA) using 2D video....
Lack of activity during hospitalization may contribute to functional decline. The purpose this study was investigate (1) the time spent walking by geriatric patients referred physical and/or occupational therapy and (2) development in hospitalization. In observational study, 24-hr accelerometer data (ActivPal) were collected from inclusion discharge 124 at an acute ward. median 7 min per day. During first quartile hospitalization, 4 (IQR:1;11) day walking, increasing 10 (IQR:1;29) last...
