Pronator syndrome (PS) is a rare type of peripheral compression neuropathy in which the median nerve becomes entrapped as it passes through the pronator teres muscle at the proximal forearm. We report an unusual case of acute PS in a 78-year-old patient on warfarin who presented after traumatic forearm injury with forearm swelling, pain, and paresthesias. After emergent nerve decompression and hematoma evacuation, the patient regained near complete recovery of median nerve function six months after diagnosis and treatment.

The COVID-19 pandemic and increased demands for neurologists have inspired the creation of remote, digitalized tests of neurological functions. This study investigates two tests from the Neurological Functional Tests Suite (NeuFun-TS) smartphone application, the "Postural Sway" and "Pronator Drift" tests. These tests capture different domains of postural control and motoric dysfunction in healthy volunteers (n=13) and people with neurological disorders (n=68 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [MS]; n=21 secondary progressive MS; n=23 primary progressive MS; n=13 other inflammatory neurological diseases; n=21 non-inflammatory neurological diseases; n=4 clinically isolated syndrome; n=1 radiologically isolated syndrome).

Prone positioning is a therapeutic strategy for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). In COVID-19-associated ARDS (CARDS), the application of prone position has shown varying responses, influenced by factors such as lung recruitability and SARS-CoV-2-induced pulmonary endothelial dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the early impact of pronation on lung ventilation-perfusion matching (VQmatch) in CARDS and non-COVID-19 ARDS patients (non-CARDS).

Background: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress as a primary mechanical stimulus in the patellofemoral pain (PFP) etiology is affected by plantar pressure symmetry. This study evaluated how pain exacerbation affects rear foot eversion and plantar pressure distribution symmetry.
Method: Sixty women with PFP participated in this study.
