For patients with knee osteoarthritis, aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming are likely to be the best exercise for improving pain, function, gait performance, and quality of life, finds a study published by The BMJ today.
Hip Weakness May Contribute to Knee Pain
If you have knee pain or other knee problems, your physical therapist may pay close attention to your hips and the strength of your hip muscles. Why? Because your hip muscles, like the gluteus medius, control the position of your knees when you are walking, running, or jumping.
Q&A: How sports-related concussions affect reaction times
When playing sports, it's important to remember: Brains don't have seat belts. When rapid acceleration or deceleration of the brain inside the skull occurs with a blow to the head, a concussion happens, which in some cases can lead to lasting impacts on motor and cognitive skills needed to keep athletes at the top of their game.
Ultrasound-Guided Exercise Therapy Targeting the Supinator and Its Radial Nerve Branch for Refractory Lateral Elbow Pain: A Case Series
Lateral epicondylitis is commonly attributed to tendinopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB). Although eccentric exercises, prolotherapy, and percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) are frequently used, a subset of patients experience persistent pain. The potential contributions of the supinator muscle and its radial nerve branch to rehabilitation have not been adequately explored.
Shoulder Impingement Pain Syndrome: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and a Review of Current Treatment Strategies
The shoulder is an intricate joint, capable of a wide range of movements for both daily activities and physical exercise. This intricate joint is susceptible to various injuries and conditions due to its design. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), also clinically recognized as subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), is a prevalent source of shoulder discomfort, which is a spectrum of disorders such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial or complete tears, and inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
