Article Synopsis
- Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries commonly affect overhead athletes like baseball pitchers, but there is limited information on rehabilitation for non-throwing athletes.* -
- The case report discusses a 17-year-old cheerleader who suffered a UCL sprain and underwent a 14-session therapy program over nine weeks, focusing on upper extremity (UE) weight-bearing exercises.* -
- The results showed significant improvements in elbow stability, range of motion, strength, and functional performance, indicating the effectiveness of early weight-bearing activities in UCL injury rehabilitation.*
Clinical Scenario: Tendinopathy is a musculoskeletal pathological condition experienced by athletes that can result in pain, impaired muscle performance, and loss of physical function and can hinder return to sports. Various types of resistance exercise training are effective for treating tendinopathy, including isometric, concentric, eccentric, and high-load slow-velocity resistance exercise.
Clinical Question: What are the effects of high-load slow-velocity resistance exercise training, compared with other forms of resistance exercise, on tendon morphology and patient-reported outcomes in athletes with tendinopathy?
Summary Of Key Findings: The findings of 4 randomized clinical trials were included.
