Treatment selection in articular cartilage lesions of the knee: a systematic review.

Background: Several treatment options are available to repair articular cartilage lesions of the knee; however, evidence-based parameters for treatment selection are lacking.

Purpose: To identify parameters for valid treatment selection in the repair of articular cartilage lesions of the knee.

Study Design: Systematic review.

The effect of a balance training programme on centre of pressure excursion in one-leg stance.

Background: Balance training is widely used in the rehabilitation after an ankle sprain and is thought to have a decreasing effect on postural sway. The present study investigated whether a 5.5-week balance training programme leads to a decreased postural sway showing in a reduced range of centre of pressure excursion.
