Article Synopsis
- Lateral and medial elbow tendinopathies are prevalent conditions affecting 1-3% of the population, leading to pain and decreased function in the elbow, often linked to overuse but with unclear causes related to past injuries in nearby joints.
- A study involving 90 patients with these tendinopathies found that 44.4% had prior injuries in adjacent joints, with nearly half of these injuries being musculotendinous.
- The research suggests a potential connection between previous joint injuries and elbow tendinopathy, but highlights the need for further studies due to limitations like reliance on self-reported data and a small sample size.

Article Synopsis
- Mobile health (mHealth) systems were tested to improve rehabilitation for older adults with hip fractures and to support their caregivers, as many don't fully recover post-injury.
- A randomized controlled trial in Andalusia involved 105 patients aged 65+, comparing a 12-week ActiveHip + mHealth intervention to usual care, assessing physical performance at various time points.
- Results showed the intervention group had significantly better physical performance 3 months post-surgery but did not maintain these improvements at the 1-year follow-up, indicating a potential need for ongoing support.

Telerehabilitation interventions administered via a smartphone may provide new feasible and effective rehabilitation options at home for patients with hip fracture. However, to date, no such interventions have been shown to be effective in the recovery key health outcomes of these patients. The present multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to test the effect of the ActiveHip+ m-Health system in the recovery of physical performance, functional level, quality of life, and other health-related outcomes in both patients with hip fracture and their family caregivers.
