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...
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...
Background: A rotator cuff retear following arthroscopic repair (ARCR) is a concern in older patients. However, only few of its risk factors are amenable to preoperative intervention. We aimed elucidate the relationship between nutritional status and retears after ARCR. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients aged ≥65 years with tears who underwent The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) was used assess status. Data collection encompassed patient demographics,...
