Bilateral glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) in elite gymnasts.

Introduction: The "Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD)" is known as the difference in internal rotation range of motion (IRRM) between the dominant and non-dominant shoulder of overhead athletes as a result of asymmetric loading. As in contrast loading pattern in gymnastics are quite symmetric and structural changes often occur bilaterally, the question arises if GIRD might develop bilaterally in gymnasts as one source of common bilateral shoulder pathologies and to search for underlying structural adaptations.

Materials And Methods: A group of 35 elite gymnasts (8-24 years) were recruited from a local Olympic Training Centre and compared to a paired cohort of 28 non-overhead athletes.

[Teleradiological report turnaround times: An internal efficiency and quality control analysis].

Aims: The teleradiological examinations performed at the Charité were analyzed for the purpose of internal quality and efficiency control. Data included the type and number of examinations performed, the time of day and week the examination was performed and the differences in teleradiologist report turnaround times.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the radiology information system (RIS) database of all teleradiological computed tomography examinations performed at the Charité from 2011 through 2013 was carried out.

Efficacy of the functional movement screen: a review.

The aim of this review was to evaluate and synthesize the scientific literature of the functional movement screen (FMS)-driven research for scientists and strength and conditioning specialists. An additional purpose was to optimize the methodological quality of prospective studies. Relevant research was identified through using a manual and electronically database search.
