Article Synopsis
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) commonly affects postmenopausal women, and this study investigates the potential benefits of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and exercise on tendon pain and function in this population.* -
- In a randomized controlled trial with 132 participants, those receiving MHT alongside tendon-specific exercises showed significant improvements in tendon function (measured by the VISA-G scale) compared to those on placebo, particularly after 12 and 52 weeks.* -
- Results indicated that both MHT and education about gluteal tendon management were effective, and outcomes varied based on the participants' Body Mass Index (BMI), suggesting tailored approaches may be beneficial for different individuals.*
Background: The Watson Instability Program (WIP1) is current best evidence for conservative management of atraumatic shoulder instability, but it is unknown if this program can be effectively delivered via tele-consultation. The purpose of this longitudinal pre-post intervention study was to determine the effects of the WIP1 on patient-reported outcome measures, scapular position, shoulder strength, and handstand stability in student circus performers with atraumatic shoulder instability when delivered via tele-consultation.
Methods: Student circus performers aged between 15 and 35 years from the National Institute of Circus Arts were recruited.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is prevalent in women and severely impacts quality of life. A key muscle group demonstrating reduced strength are the hip abductors. An understanding of specific muscles affected will help guide targeted rehabilitation.
