Article Synopsis
- Adolescent water polo players often face shoulder injuries, and this study aimed to see if preseason attributes like range of motion, flexibility, strength, and core endurance could predict future injuries.
- The study involved 53 young male players, dividing them into two groups: those with prior shoulder injuries and those without, followed by tracking their injury status a year later.
- Results showed that players with previous injuries had significantly poorer flexibility and endurance, indicating that early screening for these factors might help prevent future shoulder injuries.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare effective therapeutic options for hindfoot pain, develop and investigate the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation systems, and ensure patients perform their exercises and preventive measures regularly and accurately, while monitoring results.
Methods: Hindfoot pain (HP) patients (N = 77 with 120 feet) were admitted to this study and divided into two pathologies; Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinopathy. Patients in each pathology were randomized into three different rehabilitation programs-web-based telerehabilitation (PF-T & AT-T), -hands-on healing techniques combined with exercise (PF-C & AT-C)-unsupervised home exercise (PF-H & AT-H) program.
Background: Although there are studies showing that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization methods are effective in chronic plantar heel pain (CPHP) treatment, there is a need for studies comparing these techniques. We compared the effectiveness of ESWT versus instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization using Graston Technique (GT) instruments in addition to stretching exercises (SEs) in CPHP.
Methods: Sixty-nine patients were randomly assigned to three groups: ESWT+SEs (group 1), GT+SEs (group 2), and SEs only (control group) (ratio, 1:1:1).
Background: We compared the effectiveness of stretching and strengthening exercises combined with myofascial releasing and mobilization techniques to a stretching and strengthening only home program in plantar fasciitis (PF) management.
Method: The study included 53 feet of 47 patients with plantar fasciitis (35 women / 12 men; mean age 48.9±11.
