Alpha Angle Values Predict the Severity of Hip Chondral Damage in Patients With Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: To assess the role of alpha angle (AA) in predicting the severity of hip chondral damage in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome.

Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines, a systematic review was performed to summarize and critically appraise studies analyzing the prognostic capability of AA values in predicting the severity of intraoperatively evaluated hip chondral damage in patients with cam-type FAI syndrome. The risk of bias was assessed through the Quality In Prognosis Studies tool.

Will you get what you want? Treatment goals and expectations of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome regarding physiotherapist-led treatment.

To (i) investigate the goals and expectations of participants enrolled in a clinical trial of physiotherapist-led treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and (ii) explore associations between their expectations and self-reported hip burden and kinesiophobia. Data from 150 participants with FAI syndrome who participated in a clinical trial were analysed. Participants described their most important treatment goal and the expectation of achieving this goal throughout physiotherapy treatment.

Are visual assessments of the single-leg squat valid to be used in clinical practice? A systematic review of measurement properties based on the COSMIN guideline.

Objective: Evaluate the discriminative and convergent validity of visual scales for the assessment of movement quality in the single-leg squat.

Methods: Searches performed in CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science databases. Studies evaluating discriminative and convergent validity of movement quality visual assessments in single-leg squats were included.

Does response to preoperative intra-articular anesthetic injections predict outcomes of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome?

Introduction: Some patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) who undergo surgery do not show satisfactory outcomes. Reliable tests that can inform prognosis of FAIS surgery are needed for optimized indications and contraindications to surgery. We aimed to review and critically appraise available literature on the capability of patient response to preoperative intra-articular anesthetic injections (PIAI) to predict post-surgical outcomes in patients with FAIS.

Exercise associated or not to the intake of Eurycoma longifolia improves strength and cardiorespiratory fitness in men with androgen deficiency.

This study aims to analyze the effects of a concurrent training (CT) associated with Eurycoma longifolia (EL) supplementation on the muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and symptomatology score of men with the androgen deficiency of aging male (ADAM). Forty-five subjects (47.6 ± 5.
