Is Pregnancy-Related Lumbopelvic Pain Reported to Health Care Providers?

Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain (PLPP) is a common ailment during pregnancy with physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. Despite being common, prior literature has found that this symptom is widely underreported and therefore undertreated, especially in the United States. The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of pregnant women who report PLPP during pregnancy to their health care providers (HCPs) and to determine what contributing factors for reporting exist.

Artificial Neural Network-Based Activities Classification, Gait Phase Estimation, and Prediction.

Gait patterns are critical to health monitoring, gait impairment assessment, and wearable device control. Unrhythmic gait pattern detection under community-based conditions is a new frontier in this area. The present paper describes a high-accuracy gait phase estimation and prediction algorithm built on a two-stage artificial neural network.

Lumbopelvic Pain in Pregnancy in a Diverse Urban Patient Population: Prevalence and Risk Factors.

Pregnancy lumbopelvic pain (PLPP) is a common ailment during pregnancy with physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. Prior literature has focused on majority Caucasian patient populations; none have focused on Hispanic populations, especially in the United States. The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of pregnant people who experience PLPP in mostly Hispanic population.

Outcomes of a COVID-19 recovery program for patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infection in New York City: A prospective cohort study.

Background: In the spring of 2020, New York City was an epicenter of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The post-hospitalization needs of COVID-19 patients were not understood and no outpatient rehabilitation programs had been described.

Objective: To evaluate whether a virtual rehabilitation program would lead to improvements in strength and cardiopulmonary endurance when compared with no intervention in patients discharged home with persistent COVID-19 symptoms.

Retained Fetal Bones: Rare cause of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

Intrauterine retention of fetal bones is a rare complication of unsafe abortion. Patients may present with infertility, chronic pelvic pain, menorrhagia and vaginal discharge. Here, we discuss a management of young female patient with uterine bleeding after miscarriage.

Resident accuracy of joint line palpation using ultrasound verification.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of knee and acromioclavicular (AC) joint line palpation in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) residents using ultrasound (US) verification.

Design: Cohort study.

Setting: PM&R residency program at an academic institution.

The muscle stretch reflex throughout the menstrual cycle.

Introduction: The significant sex disparity in sports-related knee injuries may be due to underlying differences in motor control. Although the development of sex-specific movement patterns is likely multifactorial, this study specifically focuses on the potential modulatory role of sex hormones.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the muscle stretch reflex (MSR) across the menstrual cycle.

Injectable medications for osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent and chronic conditions that affect the U.S. population.

Prevalence of anatomic impediments to interlaminar lumbar epidural steroid injection.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of anatomic impediments to interlaminar lumbar epidural steroid injection (LESI) in a community-based population.

Design: Cross-sectional observational study.

Setting: Community-based.
