Use of the Spencer Technique on Collegiate Baseball Players: Effect on Physical Performance and Self-Report Measures.

Context: Repeated overhead throwing in baseball players alters range of motion (ROM), contributing to shoulder injury. The Spencer technique has been used, anecdotally, to reduce the effects of throwing-induced limitations in ROM.

Objective: To quantify the effects of a single administration of the Spencer technique on the ROM and performance of collegiate baseball pitchers.

A feasibility study of conducting the Montreal Cognitive Assessment remotely in individuals with movement disorders.

Remote assessments of individuals with a neurological disease via telemedicine have the potential to reduce some of the burdens associated with clinical care and research participation. We aim to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the Montreal Cognitive Assessment remotely in individuals with movement disorders. A pilot study derived from two telemedicine trials was conducted.

Randomized controlled clinical trial of "virtual house calls" for Parkinson disease.

Importance: The burden of neurological disorders is increasing, but access to care is limited. Providing specialty care to patients via telemedicine could help alleviate this growing problem.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and economic benefits of using web-based videoconferencing (telemedicine) to provide specialty care to patients with Parkinson disease in their homes.
