the current study which is an expacto one,has been carried out with the purpose of comparing the bone mineral density(bmd) of menopause women athletes who were professional at weight bearing sports and non-weight bearing sports.the participants were all menopause women athletes of tehran that 20 of them were aimfully put in two groups: the weight bearing sports group(handball and basketball; n=...

The objectives of this study are to survey the weight-bearing limitation practices and delay for returning to running and impact sports of high volume hip arthroscopy orthopedic surgeons. The study was designed in the form of expert survey questionnaire. Evidence-based data are scares regarding hip arthroscopy post-operative weight-bearing protocols. An international cross-sectional anonymous I...

Weight-bearing exercise has been recognized widely to be beneficial for long-term bone health. However inherent differences in bone-loading characteristics and energy expenditure during participation in endurance sports place many endurance athletes at a relative disadvantage with regard to bone health compared with other athletes. Adolescents and adults who participate in endurance sports, suc...

BACKGROUND The rate of Achilles tendon ruptures is increasing, but there is a lack of consensus on treatment of acute injuries. The purpose of this trial was to compare outcomes of weight-bearing casts with those of traditional casts in the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. METHODS Eighty-four patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture were recruited over a two-year period. Pat...

INTRODUCTION Participation in sports places specific demands on the musculoskeletal system that, over time, may cause adaptations in soft-tissue. Athletes who participate in sports requiring repetitive rotational movement on one side and not the other (such as overhead sports) have experienced differences in their side-to-side joint range of motion. Range of motion (ROM) asymmetry such as this ...

This cross-sectional study of adult female athletes assessed whether the apparent loading-related differences in bone structure are primarily associated with the loading type or the muscle performance-related joint moments. Several structural variables at shaft sites of the tibia, radius and humerus, and distal sites of the tibia and radius were measured with peripheral quantitative computed to...

We describe a surgical technique and report outcomes for fibrin glue interposition after resection of a tarsal condition. An institutional review board--approved retrospective review of all pediatric patients with a tarsal coalition managed with resection was conducted between January 2002 and July 2010 by a single surgeon. All coalitions were resected with interposition of fibrin glue. Patie...

The patient was a 20-year-old female ultimate frisbee player who felt a "pop" in her left foot with resultant pain and bruising along the plantar aspect of her midfoot. She was seen by an orthopaedic physician, who ordered standard radiographs that were found to be unremarkable. Although initial non-weight-bearing films were normal, these findings do not rule out tarsometatarsal joint injury. F...

Stabilization of diaphyseal long-bone fractures using elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESIN) in children promises early mobilization and rapid resumption of full weight bearing. We evaluated the duration of postoperative functional rehabilitation after ESIN, measured by the time from stabilization until first partial weight bearing, full weight bearing, and resumption of school sports. Fift...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze the acute effect of active tibial rotation exercise on torsion angle, ankle range motion, and neuromuscular control.METHODS: was based AB/BA Cross-over design, participants were divided into two conditions (core-tex manual exercises). Before after intervention, non-weight bearing weight-bearing motion dynamic balance test, Shark skill test conducted.RESULTS:...
