Differences in knee and hip adduction and hip muscle activation in runners with and without iliotibial band syndrome
Iliotibial Band Syndrome has been associated with altered hip and knee kinematics in runners. Prior studies have recommended further research on neuromuscular factors at the hip. The frontal plane hip muscles have been a strong focus in strength comparison, but not for electromyography investigation. (Source: PM and R)

The Possible Effect of Oxytocin in Post-Partum Recovery from a Stroke: A Case Report
Pregnancy is a risk factor for stroke in young women, but the effect of delivery on recovery and rehabilitation after stroke has not been elucidated in pregnant stroke patients. This case report presents a pregnant stroke patient who recovered successfully after cesarean delivery during rehabilitation. The possible effect of oxytocin is discussed as a factor promoting recovery from stroke. (Source: PM and R)

The Effect of Arch Drop on Tibial Rotation and Tibiofemoral Contact Stress in Postpartum Women
Women are at higher risk for knee osteoarthritis and numerous other lower limb musculoskeletal disorders. Arch drop during pregnancy and the resultant excessive pronation of the feet may alter loading patterns and contribute to the higher prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in women. (Source: PM and R)

Effect of Wheelchair Stroke Pattern on Upper Extremity Muscle Fatigue
Shoulder dysfunction is common in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) with an incidence of up to 63%. Dysfunction is a result of muscle imbalances, specifically denervated rotator cuff muscles that are repetitively used during manual wheelchair propulsion. (Source: PM and R)

Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Tibia Strength and Structure of Competitive Adolescent Swimmers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Swimming has no effect on bone mass or structure. Therefore, adolescent swimmers present similar bone strength values when compared to normo-active controls, and lower values when compared to weight-bearing athletes. It thus seems necessary to try to improve bone structure and strength of adolescent swimmers through a weight-bearing intervention in order to reduce the risk of suffering osteoporosis later in life.

Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation for the Treatment of Post-traumatic Knee Pain: A Case Presentation
This is the first reported case presentation utilizing cooled genicular radiofrequency ablation (C-RFA) for the treatment of post-traumatic knee pain. The patient is a 29-year-old male who sustained open right femoral and tibial fractures following 2 motor vehicle collisions. He was deemed too young to undergo total knee arthroplasty by orthopedic surgery. It was recommended he trial diagnostic genicular nerve blocks followed by C-RFA. The procedure provided a>50% reduction in average pain with an increase in activity tolerance lasting 9 months. (Source: PM and R)

Dynamic Sonographic Visualization of an Occult Posterior Lateral Meniscocapsular Separation: A Case Report
We report a case of an 18-year-old female softball catcher with unrevealing magnetic resonance imaging despite continued left knee locking and discomfort with deep squatting. Meniscocapsular separation was revealed only on dynamic sonographic exam, where knee flexion revealed a 3.1-mm gap that developed between the capsule and peripheral meniscus. (Source: PM and R)

Comparing the Effects of Dual-Task Gait Testing in New and Established Ambulators With Lower Extremity Amputations
Gait is a complex process that involves coordinating motor and sensory systems through higher-order cognitive processes. Walking with a prosthesis after lower extremity amputation challenges these processes. However, the factors that influence the cognitive-motor interaction in gait among lower extremity amputees has not been evaluated. To assess the interaction of cognition and mobility, individuals must be evaluated using the dual-task paradigm. (Source: PM and R)

Comparative Sonographic and Magnetic Resonance Images of an Acute Pronator Teres Full-Thickness Tear
A 60-year-old left-hand-dominant man presented with 1 week of intense right elbow and forearm pain following an acute injury while playing golf. Notably, although he was left-handed, he played golf right-handed, and thus his right arm was the rear arm during the swing. He noted immediate significant pain on impact of the golf club with the ball. He had no medical or family history of connective tissue disease, prior history of significant right elbow injury or surgery, and reported no recent use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
