Radial Tunnel Syndrome: Assessment and Management

Lateral elbow pain is a common complaint in many sports physiotherapy and physical therapy practices around the world. It is likely that this will surprise no-one. Lateral epicondylalgia, the most common cause of lateral elbow pain, has an annual prevalence of 1% to 2% in the general public (Shiri et al., 2006). Such a complaint is even more common in many groups of athletes (Hume et al., 2006; Mackay et al., 2003). However, this is not an article about tennis elbow. It is about radial tunnel syndrome, a condition which has been suggested to be the main aetiopathogenetic (what a word) element in 4% of lateral epicondylalgia cases (Jalovaara & Lindholm, 1989). Interestingly, it causes headaches for the therapist in 100% of cases. This is because whilst radial tunnel syndrome is rare, it is challenging to differentially diagnose and can be a monster to manage. If you have a recalcitrant case of tennis elbow then this post will interest you! This article discusses the best available evidence for assessment and management of this condition.

Snapping Scapula Syndrome (Scapulothoracic Bursitis): Assessment and Management

Whilst this condition is more common than we may think, it seems to be underappreciated within the world of physiotherapy. This is a disorder that ranges from inconvenience for some to truly disabling to others (Manske et al., 2004). Of even greater interest is that it is related to many sports including swimming, baseball pitching and weight-training. Thus, this article will discuss snapping scapula syndrome including what it is, why it occurs and what you need to do to fix it!

Functional Performance Testing: An Assessment Necessity

As a sports physiotherapist, it is important that you not only rehabilitate athletes but ensure that they are fully fit to return to play. As many of you are fully aware, objective measures such us a full active range of motion does not determine an athlete’s readiness to RTP. Accordingly, a comprehensive assessment of an athlete’s function, via functional performance testing, becomes an absolute assessment necessity. This article will discuss current research on the the role and implementation of functional performance testing, as well as some tests that you may use in your own clinical practice.

Manual Therapy for Inversion Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are very common in the practice of sports physiotherapy. However, unfortunately many patients go on to have long term problems. This has lead to the development of many proposed treatments and rehabilitation programs. This article will discuss new research into the use of manual therapy techniques combined with exercises for the rehabilitation of inversion ankle sprains.

University of Calgary scientist finds physiotherapy can speed up concussion recovery

Before Jon Cornish’s head hit the ground and the Calgary Stampeders running back was left motionless on the McMahon Stadium turf, there was a terrifying moment when his neck snapped back.

The concussion that followed has kept the Stamps star sidelined ever since.

While common medical practice suggests the best way for athletes to recover from similar injuries is rest and a gradual build-up of physical exertion, a new study from the University of Calgary suggests hands-on physiotherapy could speed up the road to recovery.

The study was conducted by Kathryn Schneider, a researcher and physiotherapist at U of C’s Faculty of Kinesiology and Sport Injury Prevention Research Center.

Its findings could change the way concussions are treated, as they suggest that people suffering from prolonged post-concussion symptoms could have their recovery times decreased through a combined physiotherapy treatment of the vestibular (balance) system, the cervical spine and vertebrae in the neck.
“We specifically targeted the individuals who had dizziness, neck pain and/or headaches following concussions,” said Schneider, whose study was published in the British Journal of Sport Medicine.
“The general consensus is an initial period of rest is of benefit, and the majority of people do recover in that initial seven-to-10 day period, so it would be following that initial time period where if individuals still had symptoms that persisted this would be a treatment that would be of benefit.”

The study focused on 31 patients who were still suffering from symptoms after the initial seven-to-10 day recovery period. They were divided into two groups: One that went through a standard vestibular rehabilitation, and another that combined the vestibular rehabilitation with cervical spine physiotherapy.
The findings were striking.
The group that went through the combined treatment saw 73% of participants medically cleared within eight weeks, compared with just 7% of the standard group.
“I started to see a lot of athletes in the clinic and could see some positive results within a clinical environment but there’s no research currently evaluating the response to forms of physiotherapy treatment following concussions,” Schneider said. “We weren’t sure of the magnitude of the effect we might see.
“We did see a large difference between the groups — it was greater than what we had initially hypothesized it might be.”

Despite the clear difference between the two groups, there’s still lots of research that’s needed. After all, 31 people is a small sample size, and Schneider says future studies will need to examine how variables like age and gender might have on outcomes, as well as the ideal timing and dosage.

Concussions are also highly individual-specific, so no one at the U of C is suggesting they’ve stumbled on a one-size-fits-all treatment.

One major variable that can affect recovery time is whether a patient’s had a history of concussions, as symptoms often get worse and recoveries take longer when a patient’s been concussed before.
The U of C research, however, seemed to work just as well on those with a concussion history as those who were suffering through the injury for the first time.
“We don’t have the numbers to really understand the effects that a previous concussion has on the effects of this study, but in the treatment group everybody that recorded a previous history of concussion was medically cleared to return to sport,” Schneider said.

Physiotherapists have a vital part to play in combatting the burden of noncommunicable diseases

The burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has been described as “a public health emergency in slow motion” by the United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the World Economic Forum considers chronic diseases in both high and low resource countries to be a major risk to the global economy. However, all NCDs can either be prevented or, if identified early, treated and managed in a way that significantly reduces disability, financial and societal costs, and prolongs healthy years of life.

Risk factors for groin/hip injuries in field-based sports

Groin/hip injuries occur frequently in the athletic population, particularly in sports requiring kicking, twisting, turning and rapid acceleration and deceleration. Chronic hip, buttock and groin pain make up 10% of all attendances to sports medicine centres. Understanding risk factors for field-based sports (FBS) players is important in developing preventive measures for injury. The objective of this systematic review was to identify and examine the evidence for groin/hip injury risk factors in FBS. 14 electronic databases were searched using keywords. Studies were included if they met the inclusion criteria and investigated one or more risk factors with relation to the incidence of groin/hip injuries in FBS. Studies were accumulated and independently analysed by two reviewers under a 12-point quality assessment scale (modified CASP (for cohort study design) assessment scale). Because of the heterogeneity of studies and measures used, a meta-analysis could not be conducted. As a result risk factors were pooled for analysis and discussion. Of the 5842 potentially relevant studies, 7 high-quality studies were included in this review. Results demonstrated that previous groin/hip injury was the most prominent risk factor, identified across four studies (OR range from 2.6 (95% CI 1.1 to 6.11) to 7.3, (p=0.001)), followed by older age (OR 0.9, p=0.05) and weak adductor muscles (OR 4.28, 95% CI 1.31 to 14.0, p=0.02) each identified in two studies. Eight other significant risk factors were identified once across the included studies.

This study identified 11 significant risk factors for groin/hip injury for FBS players. The most prominent risk factor observed was previous groin/hip injury. Future research should include a prospective study of a group of FBS players to confirm a connection between the risk factors identified and development of groin/hip injuries.

Attentional focus of feedback for improving performance of reach-to-grasp after stroke: a randomised crossover study

Objective

To investigate whether feedback inducing an external focus (EF) of attention (about movement effects) was more effective for retraining reach-to-grasp after stroke compared with feedback inducing an internal focus (IF) of attention (about body movement). It was predicted that inducing an EF of attention would be more beneficial to motor performance.

Design

Crossover trial where participants were assigned at random to two feedback order groups: IF followed by EF or EF followed by IF.

Setting

Research laboratory.

Participants

Forty-two people with upper limb impairment after stroke.

Intervention

Participants performed three reaching tasks: (A) reaching to grasp a jar; (B) placing a jar forwards on to a table; and (C) placing a jar on to a shelf. Ninety-six reaches were performed in total over one training session.

Main outcome measures

Kinematic measures were collected using motion analysis. Primary outcome measures were movement duration, peak velocity of the wrist, size of peak aperture and peak elbow extension.

Results

Feedback inducing an EF of attention produced shorter movement durations {first feedback order group: IF mean 2.53 seconds [standard deviation (SD) 1.85]; EF mean 2.12 seconds (SD 1.63), mean difference 0.41 seconds; 95% confidence interval -0.68 to 1.5; P = 0.008}, an increased percentage time to peak deceleration (P = 0.01) when performing Task B, and an increased percentage time to peak velocity (P  = 0.039) when performing Task A compared with feedback inducing an IF of attention. However, an order effect was present whereby performance was improved if an EF of attention was preceded by an IF of attention.

Conclusions

Feedback inducing an EF of attention may be of some benefit for improving motor performance of reaching in people with stroke in the short term; however, these results should be interpreted with caution. Further research using a randomised design is recommended to enable effects on motor learning to be assessed.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome


Introduction:
Severe fatigue is a common complaint among patients. Often, the fatigue is transient or can be attributed to a definable organic illness. Some patients present with persistent and disabling fatigue, but show no abnormalities on physical examination or screening laboratory tests. In these cases, the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) should be considered.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, USA) Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) currently is defined as:
(1) fatigue of at least 6 months' duration, seriously interfering with the patient's life; and (2) without evidence of various organic or psychiatric illnesses that can produce chronic fatigue.

The World Health Organization classifies myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/cfs) as a nervous system disease. Together with other diseases under the G93 heading, ME/cfs shares a triad of abnormalities involving elevated oxidative and nitrosative stress (O&NS), activation of immuno-inflammatory pathways, and mitochondrial dysfunctions with depleted levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis.


Clinical features:
Elaborately CFS is characterized by debilitating fatigue with associated myalgias, tender lymph nodes, arthralgias, chills, feverish feelings, and postexertional malaise. According to Komaroff there may be abrupt onset with an 'infectious-like' illness, intermittent unexplained fevers, arthralgias and 'gelling' (stiffness), sore throats, cough, photophobia, night sweats, and post-exertional malaise with systemic symptoms.

According to Clauw 4 of the following criteria need to be present: sore throat, impaired memory or cognition, unrefreshing sleep, postexertional fatigue, tender glands, aching stiff muscles, joint pain, and headaches.


Prevalence:
While chronic, debilitating fatigue is common in medical outpatients, CFS is relatively uncommon. Prevalence depends substantially on the case definition used.


Etiology:
It is known that CFS is a heterogeneous disorder possibly involving an interaction of biologic systems. Medical research continues to examine the many possible etiologic agents for CFS (infectious, immunologic, neurologic, and psychiatric), but the answer remains elusive.


Diagnosis:
Diagnosis of CFS is primarily by exclusion with no definitive laboratory test or physical findings.

Differential diagnosis should be considered carefully as similarities with fibromyalgia & teperomadibular joint disorder exist and concomitant illnesses include irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and headaches.
Course of CFS:

According to Komaroff the illness can last for years and is associated with marked impairment of functional health status.


Treatment:
Therefore, treatment of CFS may be variable and should be tailored to each patient. Therapy should include graded exercise (SF-36 is useful in assessing functional status), diet, good sleep hygiene, antidepressants, and other medications, depending on the patient's presentation.

It is noteworthy that for graded exercises to be implemented one need to assess the exercise capacity of the individual.

Rehab for age-related loss of vision cuts depression risk in half

There is an associated risk of depression in people who experience loss of vision due to conditions such as age-related macular degeneration. New research suggests that a particular type of rehabilitation therapy called behavior activation could now reduce this risk by 50% .

A previous study published in JAMA Opthalmol. has reported that there is a significant association between vision loss and depression, but now new research has found that a form of rehabilitation therapy can reduce this risk in people with AMD by half.

The new study tested an approach called "behavior activation." According to study co-author Robin Casten, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, behavior activation is a method that involves helping people to recognize that the loss of enjoyed activities could lead to depression, and then helping them re-engage with those activities.

Physiotherapy in Wilson's Disease

Wilson's disease is an inherited condition in which copper is not excreted properly from the body. The excess copper can build up in the liver and/or brain causing liver damage and/or neurological problems. It can also collect in other parts of the body including the eyes and the kidneys. Copper begins to accumulate immediately after birth but the symptoms usually appear in the 2nd to 3rd decade. The first signs are hepatic (liver) in about 40% of cases, neurological (brain) in about 35% of cases and psychiatric, renal (kidney), haematological (blood), or endocrine (glands) in the remainder.


Neuropsychiatric symptoms-


About half the people with Wilson's disease have neurological or psychiatric symptoms. Most initially have mild cognitive deterioration and clumsiness, as well as changes in behavior. Specific neurological symptoms usually then follow, often in the form of parkinsonism with or without a typical hand tremor, masked facial expressions, slurred speech, ataxia or dystonia. Seizures and migraine appear to be more common in Wilson's disease. A characteristic tremor described as "wing-beating tremor" is encountered in many people with Wilson's; this is absent at rest but can be provoked by extending the arms. Cognition can also be affected in Wilson's disease. This comes in two, not mutually exclusive, categories: frontal lobe disorder (may present as impulsivity, impaired judgment, promiscuity, apathy and executive dysfunction with poor planning and decision making) and subcortical dementia (may present as slow thinking, memory loss and executive dysfunction, without signs of aphasia, apraxia or agnosia). It is suggested that these cognitive involvements are related and closely linked to psychiatric manifestations of the disease.


Psychiatric problems due to Wilson's disease may include behavioral changes, depression, anxiety and psychosis. Psychiatric symptoms are commonly seen in conjunction with neurological symptoms and are rarely manifested on their own. These symptoms are often poorly defined and can sometimes be attributed to other causes. Because of this, diagnosis of Wilson's disease is rarely made when only psychiatric symptoms are present. 


Physiotherapy-


Physiotherapy is beneficial for patients with the neurologic form of the disease. The copper chelating treatment may take up to six months to start working, and physical therapy can assist in coping with ataxia, dystonia, and tremors, as well as preventing the development of contractures that can result from dystonia.
Maintenance therapy is more important than rehab.

Relaxation technique is more important to maintain the position and posture.To reduce hyper-activeness use sedative otherwise due to hyper activeness rigidity will increase and result will be dislocation/fracture/injury of some joints/bones or muscle/ligament injury. To avoid torticollis maintain the position of neck and do the proper exercise and stretching.

Use cock-up splint to maintain hand position and use L-splint or night splint to maintain ankle position, proper positioning of spine to avoid scoliosis and kyphosis. Maintain sitting position 2-3 hours twice daily.

Importance of "pre-habilitation" to avoid knee injuries in young athletes

A 2014 article in the medical journal Pediatrics summarized the current research and has concluded that a specific exercise routine, known as neuromuscular training, greatly reduces the risk of knee injuries in young female athletes.

This neuromuscular training routine has been coined "Pre-habilitation" because it is performed before and throughout the sporting season. The comprehensive research results have shown a reduction in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears by 72 per cent, thereby avoiding surgery and/or a prolonged rehabilitation. The ACL is one of four major ligaments that stabilize the knee. There has been an increase in the number of ACL injuries over the past 20 years, with the rate being higher for females compared to males within similar sports. Interestingly, the majority of ACL injuries occur without any external contact by another player.

The risk of ACL injury in athletes sharply increases at adolescence (12-13 years old for girls; 14-15 years old for boys), with girls having a significantly higher risk until adulthood. This occurs because of what is called a 'motor-machine mismatch', where the body is growing faster then what the neuromuscular system can control it. Anatomical differences also contribute to increased risk for girls, and boys appear to be partially protected because of increased testosterone at puberty which accelerates muscle growth and strength.

An ACL injury, with or without surgery, will require many months of rehabilitation, and can be very disruptive to a young person due to time lost from school and sports. According to local Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Sohmer, a young athlete with a complete ACL tear will almost certainly require surgery in order to return to sporting activity. An untreated ACL tear increases the risk of irreversible damage to other knee structures, and premature arthritis later in life. He supports pre-activity training programs for all young athletes in order to prevent an ACL tear in the first place.

Neuromuscular training works by preparing the body to perform sport specific movements in a way that reduces risk of injury during pivoting, landing, or unexpected loading of the knee. This is particularly relevant to any athlete that plays a sport requiring sprinting, pivoting, cutting, jumping, or landing (such as soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, football, baseball, or basketball).

Role of Physiotherapy in Mesothelioma

Physiotherapy is used to alleviate the fatigue associated with treatment of different types of cancers, mesothelioma, physical therapy helps in recovery from surgery and the devastating effects of chemotherapy or radiation,Physiotherapy improves strength and balance, and fitness in general, as well as injury prevention, physical therapy helps to restore and improve the movement in order to achieve long-term quality of life of patients.Physiotherapy exercises work to improve the ability to use parts of the body affected by the disease or cancer. Exercises can help in physical therapy to keep joints and strengthen the surrounding muscles.

Patients undergoing treatment for cancer Alsdro pleural mesothelioma, and underwent surgery to remove part of the lung or abdomen in order to fight the effects of surgery in the body's internal structures after the operation. For this reason, many breast cancer patients receive physical therapy to strengthen the chest or abdomen.
Patients undergoing treatment for malignant mesothelioma receive treatment program rooted on one or more Manalalajat following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Almost all of these treatments require a certain level of strength and improve the heart, whether before or after treatment. Especially patients with malignant mesothelioma, and shall train the heart and blood vessels in helping patients that are being prepared to breathe freely before and after care of cancer patients.

It is important to know well is not the only source of the strength of patients with malignant mesothelioma, but it plays an important role to achieve treatment and cure of disease are many and as diverse as breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer and prostate cancer. This is done by encouraging patients who are fighting the side effects for all types of cancer.
Sometimes be cured by chemotherapy, mesothelioma is difficult, given that one of the chemotherapy for a long-term side effects is a general feeling tired. And natural treatment can help in the long term follow up of patients who suffer from fatigue.
