Velocity Loss as a Critical Variable Determining the Adaptations to Strength Training (2020)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
There are many ways to monitor the intensity of a training set such as subjective level of effort or percentage of 1 repetition maximum (1RM). Monitoring movement speed during resistance training is a relatively new way to monitor exercise intensity and to theoretically maximize adaptation by stopping the set once the appropriate level of fatigue […]

Strengthening and Optimal Movement for Painful Shoulders (STOMPS) in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2011)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
There were eighty individuals with paraplegia and shoulder pain. The inclusion criteria was paraplegia onset after 14 years of age, a SCI for the last 5 or more years, age between 19 and 75 years, and use of a manual wheelchair for 50% or more of their functional mobility. Exclusion criteria included recent cortisone injections, […]

Does Foot Mobility Affect the Outcome in the Management of Patellofemoral Pain with Foot Orthoses Versus Hip Exercises? A Randomised Clinical Trial (2020)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors sought to determine if greater midfoot width mobility is associated with better outcomes after treatment with foot orthoses compared to hip exercise, and to compare the treatment effectiveness of foot orthoses compared to hip exercise at 12 weeks regardless of midfoot mobility status. Participants were volunteers aged 18-40 with insidious onset of peri-patellar […]

Preventive Interventions for Pressure Ulcers in Long-Term Older People Care Facilities: A Systematic Review (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The researchers performed a detailed literature search with the aim of determining what interventions have been used to reduce pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities as well as to determine if there are optimal interventions. The researchers collected articles that were published between 2005 and 2017 focused on their aims. They ultimately selected 18 articles […]

Airway Clearance Techniques for Cystic Fibrosis: An Overview of Cochrane Systematic Reviews (2019)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
Six Cochrane systematic reviews were compared in this study with articles ranging from 1985 to 2018. All articles included people with cystic fibrosis. There was little restriction on age, disease severity, or exacerbation status. Interventions assessed included conventional chest physiotherapy which was defined as postural drainage, percussion, and vibration; positive expiratory pressure treatment or bottle […]

The Relationship Between Nerve Conduction Study and Clinical Grading of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (2016)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
There are many proposed ways to examine and diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the current literature. The authors of the presently examined study sought to determine if sensory and motor nerve conduction studies are correlated with clinical severity grading in people with CTS. A prospective case control design was utilized and was conducted in […]

Run Clever – No Difference in Risk of Injury When Comparing Progression in Running Volume and Running Intensity in Recreational Runners: A Randomised Trial (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The optimal way to progress running to keep injury rates low is unknown, and the authors of the Run Clever Trial sought to determine if progressing intensity or volume is better for reducing the rate of injury. They hypothesized that progressing by intensity would increase the rate of injury by 15% more compared to those […]

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Nutrition Interventions for Chronic Noncancer Pain (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors of the presently examined systematic review sought to determine if dietary interventions could have an effect on pain intensity, and also which type of dietary interventions tended to have the largest effects on pain intensity. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for this systematic review. A […]

Physiotherapy as an Initial Treatment Option for Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Meta-analysis of 5 Randomized Controlled Trials (2019)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
Physical therapy is commonly used to conservatively manage femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) but little is known regarding which physical therapy treatments are best to improve outcomes in people with FAI. The authors of the presently reviewed meta-analysis sought to determine the treatment effect for physical therapy for FAI and determine which variables are associated with improved […]
