Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells help heal chronic patellar tendinopathy
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Patellar tendinopathy, or jumper’s knee, is a common injury in athletes of all skill levels. Aside from causing pain and dysfunction, the condition can be costly for individuals and sports teams. Physical therapy is critical, but consistently effective treatment regimens remain elusive. Regenerative therapy is one promising alternative, as platelet-rich plasma injection and cultured stem cell injection have been shown to repair other types of damaged tissue. To explore the benefits for jumper’s knee, researchers compared these two treatments in patients with patellar tendinopathy. The findings, reported in _The American Journal of Sports Medicine_, suggest that cultured stem cell injection is a particularly promising option for functional and structural healing. The researchers examined 20 male patients with patellar tendinopathy that had lasted for at least 4 months, was unresponsive to nonsurgical treatments, and featured lesions larger than 3 mm..."

Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

This textbook has been designed to be an introductory training to the entry-level position, Physical Therapy Aide. As part of College of the Sequoias Physical Therapy Aide program, this textbook was used alongside hands-on lab training to train students to work as Physical Therapy Aides. It discusses some of the history and current context of Physical Therapy, provides instruction on common PT Aide job activities (like modalities and transfers), introduces general physiology, reviews commonly-used medical terminology, and, in an effort to embed necessary remediation for the PT Aide program, also includes effective career skills and habits, like business letter writing, resumes, effective communication skills, and appropriate workplace conduct.

High-volume shoulder strengthening does not improve subacromial impingement outcomes

0.0 stars

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A new study published in _The American Journal of Sports Medicine_ suggests that adding more shoulder-strengthening exercise to current nonoperative care protocols for subacromial impingement does _not _improve outcomes. Nonoperative care including physical therapy is the first-line treatment for subacromial impingement, also known as shoulder impingement. Although shoulder strengthening is important for recovery, the current exercise protocols don’t always provide sufficient relief. In addition, decompression surgery is no longer recommended for refractory cases, leaving patients with fewer options and increasing the need for better nonoperative care. To determine whether more shoulder-strengthening exercise might help patients achieve relief, the study’s authors randomly divided 200 patients with chronic shoulder pain due to impingement into a control group and an intervention group. The patients in the control group received normal nonoperative care..."

Welcome to the PressBook for Pathophysiology for the PTA. This book is designed to guide the learner through a series of short readings, pictures, videos, and activities to help visualize and apply concepts covered in the course. This PressBook is a “work in progress” and any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated, as the PressBook is easily corrected or changed to reflect new ideas in health care. Presently, limited chapters are included in the PressBook, but more chapters are being created so that someday soon, all body systems will be covered. For now, only the cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems are included, but expect this PressBook to continually grow and change. In the meantime, enjoy the learning.

Second ACL reconstruction vs. nonsurgical management: Both are associated with a high return to sport, but a second surgery may yield better knee function

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A new study suggests that after failure of revision ACL reconstruction, a second revision surgery results in better knee function than nonsurgical management—although both treatment strategies are associated with a high rate of return to sport. The findings are published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine. Tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is a common sports injury. It’s usually treated with ACL reconstruction surgery. However, in some patients, particularly young and active patients, the surgical graft ruptures and requires revision ACL reconstruction. And a subset of these patients experience another rupture after the revision. It has remained unclear whether a second revision ACL reconstruction or nonsurgical management results in better outcomes for these patients. To find out, the new study followed 41 patients with a failed first revision ACL reconstruction, 31 of whom underwent a second revision surgery and 10 of whom chose nonsurgical management..."

What Are Myofascial Triggerpoints?
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Myofascial trigger-points are a hot topic in the world of pain management. The issue that most critics have with myofascial trigger-points or other tissue-driven pain problem is that it is an oversimplification of a very complex process. It is still not know if our manual treatments are ‘correcting a local pathology' or if it just sensory input leading to a cascade response through the nervous system resulting in the 'descending modulation' of the pain experience.
