Background/Objectives: Non-invasive evaluations of muscle elasticity and tone are crucial in musculoskeletal medicine. Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides quantitative assessments elasticity, whereas train-of-four (TOF) monitoring measures during neuromuscular blockades. This study investigated the relationship between anesthesia induction using continuous SWE (C-SWE) TOF monitoring. Methods: Fifteen patients who underwent general with rocuronium were recruited. The vastus lateralis was...
Background: The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is used to evaluate fundamental movement patterns in patients. It unknown whether the FMS can be as a predictive tool for occurrence of pitching injuries baseball players. Purpose: To prospectively investigate relationship between shoulder and elbow individual components during preseason high school pitchers determine which screening tools predict injuries. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Eligible participants comprised...
Abstract We prospectively evaluated the effects of a prevention program on incidence shoulder and elbow injuries in high school baseball pitchers. Ninety-two pitchers participated this study were taught to perform stretching strength exercises aimed at improving external rotation preseason. The freely chose participate one four groups [SM-group: performed both exercises, S-group: exercise only, M-group: training N-group: neither intervention]. Injury was defined as inability play for ≥8 days...
To determine the risk factors for elbow injury and its association with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit among young baseball players.229 players aged 9 to 14 (mean, 11) years completed a self-administered questionnaire items related of playing baseball, hours training per weekday, days week, past present experience pain. Two orthopaedic surgeons measured range motion both shoulders elbows. Another 2 performed ultrasonography detect any abnormality such as fragmentation medial...
Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is characterized by traction apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity. Few studies on symptomatic and asymptomatic OSD have correlated findings with clinical examination.To investigate relationship between lower limb tightness practice time among adolescent baseball players OSD.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.The study participants were 402 male (N = 804 knees) a mean ± SD age 10.9 1.5 years (range, 7-14 years). Participant age, height, body weight, mass...
Abstract The relationship between ankle joint function and throwing-related injuries has not been demonstrated. We hypothesized that limited range of motion (ROM) was related to risk factors for shoulder elbow in young baseball players. This 12-month prospective cohort study evaluated the age, height, weight, playing position, shoulder, elbow, 228 enrolled Shoulder were tracked during season. Univariate multivariate analyses performed identify among participants divided into non-injured...
Introduction Ulnar nerve instability (UNI) is a common cause of ulnar neuropathy. The relationship between UNI and medial elbow has not yet been investigated in baseball pitchers. We the association degree collateral ligamentous laxity high school Methods examined 172 local A clinical examination assessed pitchers' physical condition during winter off-season from 2021 to 2023. Ultrasound examinations were conducted on joint gap both sides pitchers valgus stress non-stress conditions....
Background/Objectives: The repetitive overhead throwing of baseball stresses the posterior shoulder, including rotator cuff and capsule, causing stiffness, tissue thickening, dysfunction. Previous studies on collegiate players have linked these changes to glenohumeral internal rotation deficits, pain, injuries. However, primarily used acoustic radiation force impulse-based shear wave elastography (SWE), which has limitations, heating lack portability. acute effects pitching infraspinatus...
Although shoulder apprehension is an established clinical finding and important for the prevention of dislocation, how this subjective perception evoked remains unclear. We elucidated functional neuroplasticity associated with in patients recurrent anterior instability (RSI) using magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Twelve healthy volunteers 14 right-sided RSI performed a motor imagery task passive motion task. Brain activity was compared between participants those correlated intensity...
Abstract Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and weakness in prone external are risk factors for shoulder elbow injuries high school baseball pitchers. While a shoulder-stretching prevention program to improve GIRD decreases the injury rate, effects of strength remain unclear. This non-inferiority (NI) study investigates hypothesis that training is not inferior sleeper stretching Participants were randomly allocated (n = 62; active control group) muscle-training 51) groups....
Neuroimaging combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to primary motor cortex (M1) is an emerging technique that can examine motor-system functionality through evoked activity. However, because sensory afferents from twitching muscles are widely represented in areas the amount of activity directly resulting TMS remains unclear. We delivered suprathreshold left M1 or gave electrical right median nerve (MNS) 18 healthy volunteers while simultaneously conducting functional...
We aimed to assess functional outcomes and postoperative recurrence rate associated with the remplissage procedure used for bone augmentation Bankart repair in patients Hill-Sachs lesions after shoulder dislocation.Preoperative computed tomography was performed check bony lesions,calculate defect rate, estimate risk re-dislocation. Functional clinical scores were assessed preoperatively at three months, six one year postoperatively.Between 2011 2014, 18 (17 male; age surgery, 29.0±10.4...
Rotator cuff disease (RCD) is one of the most common disorders in shoulder joint and causes pain functional disability. In this study, we investigated associations among cytokine levels clinical symptoms patients with RCD.Joint fluid specimens were obtained from 38 RCD before arthroscopic surgery. The inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 IL-8, evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, between these determined. A multiple linear regression analysis was...
