Objectives: Our goal was to characterise jockey injuries at Maryland racetracks during thoroughbred racing activities over 4 years using medical records maintained by the sports medicine team.
Methods: Injury data were prospectively gathered by sports medicine physicians who were onsite for all thoroughbred racing activities in Maryland from 12 September 2015 to 5 May 2019 to evaluate and treat any injury to the jockeys. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, rates with corresponding 95% CIs and proportions) of injury types, body parts, mechanisms, severity and location on track were calculated.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of age and level of competition on subtle motor performance in adolescents who have recently been medically cleared postconcussion and never-injured controls.
Design: Thirty adolescents who were recently medically cleared postconcussion (12-18 yrs) and 30 never-concussed, typically developing controls were examined using the Revised Physical and Neurological Examination of Subtle Signs (PANESS) and the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing.
Results: Older age was associated with better Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing scores in both groups, whereas only the control group showed improved motor performance on the PANESS with increasing age.
Background: Cancer rehabilitation medicine is a growing field in physiatry, but more studies are needed to demonstrate how physiatry can contribute to patient care within the cancer care continuum.
Objective: To quantify and describe physiatric participation during a multidisciplinary tumor board for breast cancer patients.
Design: A prospective descriptive study.
