Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on pre-professional female adolescent dancers to examine the prevalence of delayed bone maturation and menstrual cycle irregularities, as well as their potential links to low back pain (LBP).
- - Findings revealed that while many dancers experienced delayed bone maturation (32%) or menstrual cycle issues (53%), these conditions were not linked to LBP; however, those with a history of LBP started dancing at a younger age and had noticeable hip rotation differences.
- - The conclusion emphasized that while certain physical impairments were common among the dancers, only early dance training, hip asymmetry, and reduced internal hip rotation were significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP.
Comparison of Maitland Passive Joint Mobilization and Self-Rehabilitation on Function, Activity, and Quality of Life in Beninese Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis: A Pragmatic Randomized Trial.

Background: Orthopedic manual therapy is currently considered as an alternative approach for treating hip osteoarthritis. However, studies assessing its efficacy in low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are scarce.
Objectives: Investigating the effectiveness of Maitland passive joint mobilization (Maitland PJM) compared to self-rehabilitation in patients with hip osteoarthritis in Benin, a low-income country, in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Objectives: The goals of this study were to i. describe the prevalence of latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the medialis gastrocnemius in runners versus non-runners, and ii. examine their level of pain and stiffness.

This study aimed to quantify passive stiffness of the Achilles tendon and gastrocnemius muscle using myotonometry throughout an incremental running protocol.
Methods: Twenty-one male participants underwent a multistage incremental test (Bordeaux test) on a treadmill until exhaustion.
Objective: To provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the proportion of ankle sprains in running practices.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Main Outcome Measures: We calculated the weighted summary proportion and conducted meta-analyses for runners, considering levels (elite/recreational) and disciplines (distance, track, cross-country, trail, and orienteering).
