Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Reducing Pain and Increasing Function After Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain: A Critically Appraised Topic.
J Sport Rehabil
September 2024
Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Ankle sprains are a prevalent injury in sports that often lead to recurring issues, highlighting the need for better treatment methods.
- - Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which involves using a patient's own plasma to enhance healing, has shown positive effects in treating conditions like lateral epicondylitis and knee osteoarthritis.
- - A review of studies indicates that PRP injections may effectively reduce pain and improve function in patients with lateral ankle sprains, with moderate evidence supporting its use within 5 to 8 weeks post-injection.
The effects of mindfulness-based interventions on alleviating academic burnout in medical students: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Public Health
May 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Health, Fujian Medical University, No. 1 Xuefu North Road, University town, Fuzhou, Fujian, 350122, China.
Background: Mindfulness-based interventions have been tested to be the effective approach for preventing/reducing burnout in medical students. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the scientific evidence and quantify the pooled effect of MBIs on the burnout syndrome in medical students.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the databases, including PubMed, Embase, ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), China National knowledge Information Database (CNKI) and WanFang Database from database inception to February 2023 using the terms of "mindfulness", "burnout" and "medical students".
Swimming Anatomy and Lower Back Injuries in Competitive Swimmers: A Narrative Review.
Sports Health
November 2024
Harvard Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Context: Competitive swimmers are at high risk of overuse musculoskeletal injuries due to their high training volumes. Spine injuries are the second most common musculoskeletal injury in swimmers and are often a result of the combination of improper technique, high loads on the spine in strokes that require hyperextension, and repetitive overuse leading to fatigue of the supporting trunk muscles. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence regarding swimming biomechanics, stroke techniques, and common injuries in the lumbar spine to promote a discussion on the prevention and rehabilitation of lower back injuries in competitive swimmers.

J Sport Rehabil
February 2024
Indiana State University, Terre Haute, IN, USA.
Clinical Scenario: Hamstring range of motion (ROM) and the influence it has on injury risk is among great discussion in the literature. Hamstring injury may result from hamstring tightness, poor flexibility, or decreased ROM, and many argue that this can be prevented through various intervention strategies. In active populations, risk of further injury, pain, and complications throughout the kinetic chain can occur if minimal hamstring ROM is left untreated.

July 2023
Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA,USA.
Clinical Scenario: Athletic identity (AI) can be defined as, "the degree to which an individual identifies with an athlete role, and the values, and social networks associated with that identity," and can pose a problem when athletes do not explore themselves outside of sport. This lack of identity development beyond athletics has the potential to lead to the development of a high AI. High AI in athletes can have positive effects in areas such as performance, however, high AI may also pose negative consequences.
