Development and Persistence of Suspected Neuropathic Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Individuals With Osteoarthritis
ConclusionsAlthough 14% of individuals with knee OA had suspected neuropathic pain that persisted 6 months post-TKA and those with suspected neuropathic pain had higher levels of pain, catastrophizing, and depression, the clinical identification of neuropathic pain remains enigmatic. Preoperative suspected neuropathic pain, as measured by S-LANSS, may have limited prognostic value for post-TKA outcomes.Level of EvidenceII (Source: PMandR)

Predicting 1 Repetition Maximum Using Handheld Dynamometry
ConclusionsThere is a significant relationship between 1RM and HHD measures of strength, and measures taken using an HHD can be used to predict 1RM in the biceps and quadriceps muscle groups. The use of an HHD may therefore provide a more accessible alternative to 1RM for muscle strength assessments. Further research is warranted to determine if results are applicable in clinical populations.Level of EvidenceNA (Source: PMandR)

Evaluation of Performance-Based Outcome Measures for the Upper Limb: A Comprehensive Narrative Review
Publication date: September 2018Source: PM&R, Volume 10, Issue 9Author(s): Sophie Wang, C. Janice Hsu, Lauren Trent, Tiffany Ryan, Nathan T. Kearns, Eugene F. Civillico, Kimberly L. KontsonAbstractObjective performance-based outcome measures (OMs) have the potential to provide unbiased and reproducible assessments of limb function. However, very few of these performance-based OMs have been validated for upper limb (UL) prosthesis users. OMs validated in other clinical populations (eg, neurologic or musculoskeletal conditions) could be used to fill gaps in existing performance-based OMs for UL amputees. Additionally, a join...

Lumbar Intraspinal Spindle Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma as a Rare Cause of Spinal Stenosis: A Case Report
Publication date: September 2018Source: PM&R, Volume 10, Issue 9Author(s): Donel A. Sequea, Maria E. ReeseAbstractRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) represents the most common sarcoma in childhood yet is extremely rare in adults, with only a handful of cases reported. Here we present a case of intraspinal spindle cell RMS in an adult who presented as a typical case of spinal stenosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of lumbar intraspinal spindle cell RMS in an adult patient. Furthermore, RMS phenotypically presents more aggressively in adults compared with children.Level of EvidenceV (Source: PMandR)

Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome – Return to Sport Considerations: A Case Report
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2018Source: PM&RAuthor(s): Todd Hayano, Joan Borg-Stein, David J. Cormier, Niki RybkoAbstractThis is a case of a 19-year-old female collegiate field hockey player with left leg pain, numbness and tingling. A comprehensive workup including dynamic ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA) revealed a type VI functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). There are many options for treatment of functional PAES including activity modification, botulinum toxin injection, and surgery. To the authors knowledge there is no published ...

Severe Leg Pain Following Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantation – A Case Report
We present a case of immediate, severe, post-operative leg pain secondary to a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary embolism (PE) after percutaneous SCS implantation for failed back syndrome. The risk factors of DVT after spine surgery and perioperative prophylaxis will be further discussed with a brief literature review. (Source: PMandR)

Treatment of Knee Meniscus Pathology: Rehabilitation, Surgery, and Orthobiologics
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2018Source: PM&RAuthor(s): Paul S. Chirichella, Steven Jow, Stephen Iacono, Hannah E. Wey, Gerard A. MalangaAbstractThe meniscal tear treatment paradigm traditionally begins with conservative measures such as physical therapy with referral for operative management for persistent or mechanical symptoms. As a result, the partial meniscectomy is performed more than any other orthopedic procedure in the United States. This treatment paradigm has shifted as recent literature supports the attempt to preserve or repair the meniscus whenever possible given its importance for the struc...

Frequency and circumstances of falls reported by ambulatory unilateral lower limb prosthesis users: a secondary analysis
ConclusionThis secondary analysis revealed that falls remain frequent among ambulatory LLP users, and that clinicians and researchers may wish to prioritize falls owing to disruptions of BoS that occur while walking. Additional research with a larger sample is required to confirm and expand upon these results. (Source: PMandR)

Ankle joint and rearfoot biomechanics during toe-in and toe-out walking in people with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
ConclusionsToe-in and toe-out walking require different ankle/rearfoot biomechanics, though no differences in discomfort were observed. Longer-term studies are required to properly assess these relationships in knee OA populations. (Source: PMandR)

A Descriptive Study of Self-Reported Injury in Non-elite Adaptive Athletes
ConclusionsOur study shows that non-elite adaptive sports athletes sustained similar types of injuries noted in published reports of elite athletes, but may be provided less injury prevention education and access to medical care. This area will require future study especially investigating injury risk factors within specific sports and diagnoses. (Source: PMandR)
