Shifting the Curve: Mastery Learning to Teach Nerve Conduction Studies in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency.

Nerve conduction studies are a commonly performed procedure and a core competency for physical medicine and rehabilitation residents. Nerve conduction studies are complex to learn and no standardized training protocols exist across physical medicine and rehabilitation programs. The aims of this study are to standardize training and assessment of resident proficiency in nerve conduction studies skills and to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on skills development.

Ultrasonographic comparison of the lateral epicondyle in wheelchair-user (and able-bodied) tennis players: A pilot study.

To evaluate whether manual wheelchair use and wheelchair tennis are associated with increased risk of lateral epicondylosis (LE). We hypothesized that the prevalence of LE would be highest in WC tennis players, followed by tennis players, WC users, and able-bodied subjects. Prospective cross-sectional pilot study.
