Immediate effect of the use of toe separators on dynamic balance and ankle range of motion: a pilot study
Conclusions: The results of this pilot study indicate that using toe separators does not have an immediate effect on ankle range of motion and dynamic balance in young, healthy individuals. Future research should consider evaluating intervention programs of longer duration and exploring different populations.PMID:37916670 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2278190 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Corticosteroid injection of the knee within one month prior to meniscus repair increases the risk of repair failure requiring meniscectomy
CONCLUSION: The study highlights an increased risk of repair failure requiring follow-up meniscectomy for patients receiving intra-articular CSIs within one month prior to meniscus repair. These findings suggest caution when considering CSIs as a treatment option for patients scheduled for meniscus repair. Further research is needed to establish optimal timing guidelines for CSIs in relation to meniscus repair and to understand the underlying mechanisms.PMID:37811919 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2268604 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
