No sign of weakness: a systematic review and meta-analysis of hip and calf muscle strength after anterior cruciate ligament injury
CONCLUSION: Our results do not show widespread or substantial muscle weakness of the hip and lower-leg muscles after ACL injury, contrasting deficits of 10%-20% commonly reported for knee extensors and flexors. As it is unclear if deficits in hip and lower-leg muscle strength resolve with appropriate rehabilitation or no postinjury or postoperative weakness occurs, individualised assessment should guide training of hip and lower-leg strength following ACL injury.PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020216793.PMID:38537939 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107536 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

The sports and health programme for indigenous people at the Kampung Gumum, Pahang, Malaysia
Background There are approximately 206, 777 indigenous people in Malaysia, which is about 11% of the total population.1 While indigenous people are classified as a minority, they are included in the government’s development plan,2 although on a moderate and limited scale. Most indigenous people live in remote areas far from the city, making it difficult for them to receive medical assistance, resulting in them being frequently overlooked by the healthcare services. The Sports and Health Education Programme at the Kampung Gumum village, Pekan district, Pahang, is part of the plan to serve Indigenous Malaysians. We fir...

'Concussion conversations promotes collaborative care in rural New Zealand
Background Providing a health service in a rural area comes with its challenges: limited medical resources, reliance on ambulance and rescue helicopter services and, especially in New Zealand, a stoic rugby culture with a fear of missing the next big game! Working in New Zealand’s Tasman region in the beautiful but remote Golden Bay has had its fair share of curve balls for our sports physiotherapy practice. It was one of those challenges that led to the development of the Concussion Conversations programme, aiming to better understand what information is wanted, needed and how it should be delivered to improve commu...

Extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tenosynovitis
History The patient is a 24-year-old right-handed amateur female tennis player who presented with a 4-week history of progressively worsening left ulnar-sided wrist pain (USWP). Onset of pain was gradual, with no inciting traumatic event. Specifically, her pain was most severe when hitting her two-handed backhand. Symptoms associated with instability such as wrist ‘clunking’ and neurological symptoms such as paresis or paresthesia were absent. Physical examination revealed point tenderness over the distal ulna. Imaging findings To assess the patient’s wrist pain, plain X-rays and ultrasound were obtained ...
