Sex Differences in Common Sports Injuries
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2018Source: PM&RAuthor(s): Cindy Lin, Ellen Casey, Daniel Herman, Nicole Katz, Adam TenfordeAbstractCommon sports injuries include bone stress injuries (BSIs), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and concussions. Less commonly recognized are the specific sex differences in epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of these conditions by sex. An understanding of these factors can improve their clinical management, from prescribing appropriate prehabilitation to guiding postinjury rehabilitation and return to play. This narrative review summarizes the sex differences in the d...

No Exacerbation of Knee Joint Pain and Effusion Following Preoperative Progressive Resistance Training in Patients Scheduled for Total Knee Arthroplasty: Secondary Analyses From a Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionPRT of the affected leg initiated shortly before TKA does not exacerbate knee joint pain and effusion, despite a substantial progression in loading and increased muscle strength. Concerns for side effects such as pain and effusion after PRT seem unfounded.Level of EvidenceI (Source: PMandR)

OnabotulinumtoxinA for the Treatment of Poststroke Distal Lower Limb Spasticity: A Randomized Trial
ConclusionsOnabotulinumtoxinA significantly improved ankle MAS, CGI, and GAS scores compared with placebo; improvements were consistent and increased with repeated treatments of onabotulinumtoxinA over 1 year in patients with PSLLS.Level of EvidenceI (Source: PMandR)

The Association of Clinic-Based Mobility Tasks and Measures of Community Performance and Risk
ConclusionNormal walking speed is a simple and inexpensive clinic-based mobility test that is associated with a wide range of CP&R measures. In addition, poorer performance ascending stairs may assist in identifying those at risk of falls. Poorer performance in more complex mobility tasks (walking while talking and maze immediate) may suggest inability to participate in cognitive leisure activities.Level of EvidenceIII (Source: PMandR)

Dose-Response Effects of Tai Chi and Physical Therapy Exercise Interventions in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
ConclusionsBoth interventions have approximately linear dose-dependent effects on pain and function; their minimum effective doses range from 2-5 weeks; and patient perceived benefits of exercise influence the timing of response in KOA. These results may help clinicians to optimize patient-centered exercise treatments and better manage patient expectations.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures: Utility for Predicting Spinal Surgery in an Integrated Spine Practice
ConclusionsContrary to our hypothesis, this analysis demonstrates that the PROMs evaluated in this study, alone are insufficient to identify patients who may elect to pursue spinal surgery. Male gender and increasing age correlate with decision for later spinal surgery.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)

Can Ultrasound Be Used to Improve the Palpation Skills of Physicians in Training? A Prospective Study
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that palpation accuracy improves after ultrasound assisted LHBT palpation training. These data suggest that the use of ultrasound may be beneficial when teaching musculoskeletal palpation skills to health care professionals.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)

Exercise Prescription Using a Group-Normalized Rating of Perceived Exertion in Adolescents and Adults With Spina Bifida
ConclusionA significant linear regression model and table of interchangeable values was developed for participants with SB. The group-normalized RPE (WHEEL, 5.74; Borg, 13.95) can be used to prescribe and self-regulate arm ergometer exercise intensity approximating the Vpt.Level of EvidenceIII (Source: PMandR)

Efficacy of Injected Corticosteroid Type, Dose, and Volume for Pain in Large Joints: A Narrative Review
Publication date: July 2018Source: PM&R, Volume 10, Issue 7Author(s): Daniel M. Cushman, Benjamin Bruno, Jacob Christiansen, Andrew Schultz, Zachary L. McCormickAbstractCorticosteroid injections are commonly used in the treatment of disorders of the large joints. This review assimilates the available literature on corticosteroid injections into the glenohumeral joint, subacromial space, hip joint, and knee joint. A systematic method to review available literature revealed 84 articles that fit the inclusion criteria. For each injection location, four items were examined: overall efficacy of injection, superior type of stero...
