X-ray analytics in motion: Dynamic 3D diagnosis for unstable shoulders
After a shoulder injury has been treated, patients are often left with a feeling of insecurity—many of them report that their shoulder "doesn't hold" or "slips out easily." When diagnosing shoulder instabilities, doctors often have to rely on these subjective assessments. The reason: Conventional imaging methods do not capture the movement of the shoulder.
Understanding the Key Differences Between Abduction and Adduction
Abduction and adduction are shoulder and hip movements that occur in the body's frontal plane—an imaginary line that divides the body into front and back halves. They're essential for stability and injury prevention in your shoulders, pelvis, and lower back.
The Influence of Running Cadence on Biomechanics and Injury Prevention: A Systematic Review
Running is a widely practiced physical activity with well-established health benefits. However, it is frequently associated with overuse musculoskeletal injuries. Among the modifiable biomechanical variables, increasing cadence, defined as the number of steps per minute, has emerged as a promising target for reducing injury risk by altering impact forces and load distribution. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate and critically appraise the scientific evidence on the effects of running cadence modification on biomechanics and injury prevention in adult runners.
How to Get Rid of Sore Muscles: 10 Relief Tips
It's common for your muscles to feel sore after a workout, particularly if it's a new exercise for you or a more intense session. Experts call this delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and it happens after physical activity that puts an unaccustomed load on your muscles. Whether muscle soreness is mild and barely noticeable or extremely painful, there are several ways in which to relieve discomfort and possibly recover faster.
Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case control study
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
