Introduction: Functional tests are used to establish the functional capacity of women with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). However, the validity, reliability, or possibility of discriminating this dysfunction have not been established.

Objectives: To compare functional capacity, establish the properties of functional test measurements, and present the best test to discriminate between women with and without GTPS.

Introduction: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a potentially effective intervention to improve outcomes after a fragility fracture, but its feasibility in this group has not been established.

Methods: A feasibility study was conducted in two phases: 1) in the hospital only, and 2) hospital, rehabilitation centres, and participants' homes. Patients with fragility fracture were randomised to receive NMES for 6 weeks/discharge either to the right or left leg, with the other leg serving as control.

Impact of the Quadriceps Angle on Health and Injury Risk in Female Athletes.

Int J Environ Res Public Health

November 2024

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alabama in Huntsville, SST 369H, 301 Sparkman Drive, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA.

The quadriceps angle, knowns as the Q-angle, is an anatomical feature of the human body that is still largely unknown and unstudied despite its initial discovery in the 1950s. The strength disparities between male and female athletes are largely determined by the Q-angle. In spite of a growing number of women participating in sports such as track, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and softball, studies investigating injuries in this group are scanty.
