The influence of fear of re-injury that this variable has on recovery outcomes following sports-related concussion remains unknown. We examined changes in fear of re-injury throughout concussion recovery, and compared changes in neurocognitive, symptom, vestibular/ocular motor, and recovery time outcomes between concussed adolescent athletes who endorsed high and low fear of re-injury. Individuals with high fear of re-injury were more symptomatic and more likely to exhibit vestibular/ocular motor symptoms over clinical cutoffs than those with low fear of re-injury. Recovery time was not significantly different between the groups. These findings may help explain performance on more subjective concussion assessments.

Reliability and validity of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in patients with traumatic hand-forearm injuries.
Clin Rehabil
December 2024
PhysioZone Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.
Objective: Fear of movement in patients with traumatic hand-arm injuries can negatively affect functional outcomes. Therefore, it is important to evaluate fear of movement in this patient population. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in patients with traumatic hand-forearm injuries.

Background: There are no reports on home-based physiotherapy after femoral shaft re-fractures in children. Here we report a case involving a child who sustained a femoral shaft re-fracture and returned to kindergarten after 2 months of home-based physiotherapy.
Case: A 4-year-old girl presented at an emergency hospital with severe pain in the right lower limb and the inability to walk after falling at home, 15 days after discharge following treatment of a right femoral shaft fracture at the same hospital.
Risk factors for vasovagal reactions in blood donors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Transfusion
November 2024
British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Background: While blood donation is generally safe, some donors experience vasovagal reactions (VVRs) that may lead to injury and reduce likelihood of future donation. Several risk factors for VVRs have been identified, but the consistency, magnitude, and validity of their associations have not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence for VVR risk factors.

Burns Service of Western Australia, WA Department of Health, Perth, WA 6150, Australia; Burn Injury Research Unit, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Western Australia, Perth, WA 6009, Australia; Fiona Wood Foundation, Perth, WA 6150, Australia. Electronic address:
Whilst wound repair in severe burns has received substantial research attention, non-severe burns (<20 % total body surface area) remain relatively understudied, despite causing considerable physiological impact and constituting most of the hospital admissions for burns. Early prediction of healing outcomes would decrease financial and patient burden, and aid in preventing long-term complications from poor wound healing. Lipids have been implicated in inflammation and tissue repair and may play essential roles in burn wound healing.

Laboratory of Advanced Physiotherapy, Department of Physiotherapy, University of West Attica, 12243 Athens, Greece.
Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most frequent athletic injuries in football, causing deficits in balance. Motor Imagery (MI) has been successively included in sports rehabilitation as a complementary therapeutic intervention. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of MI on static and dynamic balance and on the fear of re-injury in professional football players with Grade II ankle sprains.
