BACKGROUND Polarising currents can modulate membrane potentials in animals, affecting the after-effect of theta burst stimulation (TBS) on synaptic strength. OBJECTIVE We examined whether a similar phenomenon could also be observed in human motor cortex (M1) using transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) during monophasic intermittent TBS (iTBS). METHODS TDCS was applied during poster...

Objective: Anterior dislocations are common large joint due to the anatomical structure and mobility of shoulder seen in 1-2% population. The most form is a traumatic anterior dislocation, approximately 90-95%. lesions accompanying dislocation mostly Bankart Hill-Sachs lesions, rotator cuff tear, tuberculum major fracture, neurological injury. This study evaluates osseous, neurological, soft ti...

BACKGROUND Recently, anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is emphasized to improve joint laxity and to potentially avert initiation of cartilage degeneration. There is a paucity of information on the efficacy of ACL reconstructions by currently practiced tunnel creation techniques in restoring normal joint laxity. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. HYPOTHESIS Ante...

Female athletes have a 4 to 6 times higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury than do male athletes participating in the same landing and pivoting sports. This greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury, coupled with a geometric increase in participation (doubling each decade), has led to a significant rise in anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female athletes. The gender...
