Background: The sport of rifle places unique physical demands on its athletes relative to other collegiate sports, including maintaining lumbar-straining positions for extended time. Anecdotal reports of low back pain (LBP) are common among collegiate rifle athletes, but the prevalence of LBP in this population has not yet been established in the literature.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to survey collegiate rifle athletes to quantify the prevalence and impact of low back pain in this population and identify possible contributing factors including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- Limited research exists on dry needling for mechanical shoulder pain, though it may help with muscle pain, range of motion, and strength.
- A 68-year-old woman with shoulder impingement underwent traditional physical therapy, achieving moderate pain relief and improved range of motion but faced stalled progress.
- After integrating dry needling into her treatment, significant improvements in pain reduction, range of motion, and functional outcomes were noted after just two sessions, with continued benefits observed at a 6-month follow-up.
Design: Psychometric study.
Objective: To develop a reliable and valid patient-reported outcome measure to assess functional ability in adolescents with low back pain (LBP) using the Rasch model.
Summary Of Background Data: LBP is quite common in adolescence.
Introduction: Daily insulin administration can be burdensome for people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) and can impact treatment adherence. This study investigated preferences for once-weekly, long-acting basal insulin for treatment of PwT2D.
Methods: An online discrete-choice experiment was administered to PwT2D in the USA.
Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive, life-limiting, neuromuscular disorder. Clinicians play an important role in informing families about therapy options, including approved gene therapies and clinical trials of unapproved therapies.
Objective: This study aimed to understand the perspectives of clinicians about gene therapy for DMD, which has not previously been studied.
