Article Synopsis
- Collagenase injections provide a minimally invasive option for treating Dupuytren contracture, showing good success in published studies.
- Common complications include swelling, pain, and bruising at the injection site, while serious risks involve potential injury to flexor tendons and digital nerves.
- The authors propose a technique using a tongue depressor to enhance the visibility and targeting of Dupuytren cords for more effective treatment.
Context: The Y Balance Test was developed as a test of dynamic postural control and has been shown to be predictive of lower-extremity injury. However, the relationship between hip strength and performance on the Y Balance Test has not been fully elucidated.
Objective: The goal of this study was to identify the relationship between components of isometric hip strength and the Y Balance Test, to provide clinicians better guidance as to specific areas of muscle performance to address in the event of poor performance on the Y Balance Test.
Objectives: Evaluate the relationship of hip and trunk muscle function with the Single Leg Step-Down test (SLSD).
Study Design: Laboratory study.
Setting: Biomechanics Laboratory.
