The Role of Self-Management in Pessary Therapy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse-A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study investigated pessary self-management (PSM). The primary outcome was how often PSM was taught to patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Secondary outcomes were associations of PSM with treatment continuation, side effects, changing to surgery, and number of doctor consultations in the first year after treatment initiation compared with clinical management (CM).

Motion analysis in patients with postpartum sacroiliac joint dysfunction: A cross-sectional case-control study.

Background: Patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction are limited in daily life activities such as gait, climbing stairs and rising from a chair. It is well known that individuals with chronic low back pain have impaired balance compared to healthy individuals. This cross-sectional case-control study aims to investigate spatiotemporal parameters, center of pressure and mass, pelvic angles and other joint angles in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction in comparison with healthy controls.

Active monitoring versus immediate abduction as treatment of stable developmental dysplasia of the hip: a systematic review of the literature.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to compare the effects of active monitoring and abduction treatment on the Graf alpha angle, Acetabular Index (AI) and femoral head coverage in infants with stable developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Design: Systematic review reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Data Sources: A search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases was performed in January 2020 and updated in January 2021.

Framework for In-Field Analyses of Performance and Sub-Technique Selection in Standing Para Cross-Country Skiers.

Our aims were to evaluate the feasibility of a framework based on micro-sensor technology for in-field analyses of performance and sub-technique selection in Para cross-country (XC) skiing by using it to compare these parameters between elite standing Para (two men; one woman) and able-bodied (AB) (three men; four women) XC skiers during a classical skiing race. The data from a global navigation satellite system and inertial measurement unit were integrated to compare time loss and selected sub-techniques as a function of speed. Compared to male/female AB skiers, male/female Para skiers displayed 19/14% slower average speed with the largest time loss (65 ± 36/35 ± 6 s/lap) found in uphill terrain.
