AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examines how training and matches in football affect the hip rotation range of motion (ROM) in players, focusing on those with normal and restricted hip movement.
  • Twenty-eight male players were divided into two groups (normal ROM and restricted ROM) and their hip rotation was measured before and after activities using a goniometer.
  • Results showed that players with restricted ROM had significant improvements in hip rotation after both training and matches, while those with normal ROM showed little change, though none of the changes reached the desired benchmarks.

Article Abstract

Background And Objectives: The repetitive loading forces generated during football activities may induce alterations in the hip rotation range of motion (ROM) in players. The objective of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of a training and a match on bilateral passive hip rotation ROM in both lower limbs in soccer.

Material And Methods: Twenty-eight male players were divided into two groups: 14 players (28 limbs) with normal bilateral hip rotation ROM (NH group) and 14 players (28 limbs) with restricted bilateral hip ROM (RH group). Passive bilateral hip rotation ROM was measured, by goniometer, before and after training or a match. Internal-rotation ROM (ROM), external-rotation ROM (ROM), total ROM (ROM) and relative internal rotation (ROM) were calculated.

Results: The NH group did not show substantial changes in hip ROM after a training nor a match. After a training session, only the RH group exhibited a substantial increase in ROM, ROM and ROM. After a match, only the RH group exhibited a substantial increase in ROM and ROM and exhibited a substantial decrease in ROM. Comparing both groups, there were significant differences within ROM changes for ROM and ROM after training and for ROM and ROM after a match.

Conclusions: Despite the small sample size of the present study, the findings indicate that a single football activity leads to significant changes in hip rotation ROM in players with restricted bilateral hip external-rotation ROM. However, these changes did not reach reference cut-off scores.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the potential application of NAO in guiding patients through rehabilitative exercises using external audiovisual stimuli, focusing on temporospatial control in terms of range of motion (ROM), execution time and movement smoothness.

Methods: This is a preliminary analysis involving ten healthy volunteers and two patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. The protocol was developed in two phases (III and IV) with different ROM limits and including flexion-extension (FE), external-rotation (ER) and internal-rotation (IR) exercises, performed at two speeds and both with and without NAO assistance.

Background: Tendon repairs often result in adhesion formation which can cause persisting functional deficits. Close proximity of healing tissues increases friction during tendon excursion, often leading to tendon tethering postoperatively. Despite continued improvements in techniques for tendon repairs, there is currently no consensus on the most effective modality to reduce adhesion formation.

Polyangiitis overlap syndrome (POS) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by overlapping features of more than one well-defined vasculitic syndrome. We present the case of a 38-year-old Malay man with progressive dyspnea and palpable purpura in his lower limbs. The diagnostic evaluation revealed right-sided segmental pulmonary consolidation with pleural effusion, systolic cardiac dysfunction with the presence of an intracardiac thrombus, and left vocal cord palsy secondary to laryngeal mononeuropathy.

Purposes: The objective of this study was to investigate intra-articular distal radius fractures, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of fracture patterns and discuss the corresponding treatment strategies for each pattern.

Methods: 294 cases of intra-articular distal radius fractures lines were collected and clustered thorough K-means and hierarchical clustering algorithm. The demographic data of patients and the clinical treatment outcomes were recorded.

Objective: Popliteal artery injury is a rare but serious complication of arthroscopic knee surgery. The absence of comprehensive data and standardized guidelines underscores the urgent need for further investigation. This study examines the incidence, risk factors, management strategies, and long-term outcomes of popliteal artery injury in the context of arthroscopic knee procedures.
