Achilles tendinopathy is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting athletes and non-athletes. This article seeks to offer a comprehensive overview focusing on its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and prevention strategies.
Hip pain is a common clinical problem caused by a variety of orthopedic and non-orthopedic factors. While orthopedic causes such as osteoarthritis and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are well documented, non-orthopedic causes such as sports hernias, peritrochanteric pain syndrome, psoas syndrome, adductor strains, symphysitis and hamstring pathologies require more differentiated consideration.
Injections around the autonomic nervous system, particularly the so-called sympathetic trunk, have been established for years. The main focus so far has been the treatment of CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). The procedures are being increasingly used for other indications that are associated with vegetative dysregulation, such as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
In the context of regenerative medicine, therapy using autologous cells (in combination with platelet-rich plasma) appears to be a promising option. The so-called medicinal signaling cells (MSC), also known as mesenchymal stem cells, can be obtained, for example, from bone marrow, subcutaneous adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood, and can be applied to targets of degeneration or inflammation.
Functional disorders of the head and neck area involving the chewing organ occur irregularly and with a changing symptoms. This makes it difficult for the therapist to arrive at a clear diagnosis, and even more difficult to develop a therapy concept. If the chewing organ is involved in a functional disorder, higher-level circuits are involved, which have to coordinate pivotal processes such as the act of swallowing.
Die Beziehung zwischen Schmerz und Sportmedizin Diese Beziehung hat sich erheblich verändert. Früher stand in der Sportmedizin oft die schnelle Wiederherstellung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit im Vordergrund, oft auf Kosten des langfristigen Wohlbefindens der Athleten. Historisch betrachtet, wurden Schmerzen im Sport meist als notwendiges Übel angesehen, das es zu überwinden galt, um Höchstleistungen zu erzielen.
The article «Healthcare-as-a-Service – A Future Model for Sports Medicine?» explores the challenges and opportunities facing sports medicine within the context of modern healthcare.
Cricket is a widely played sport, characterized by intermittent efforts with varying intensities, including persistent low intensity activity. However, it includes some high-intensity movements as well, such as bowling and batting [1]. Several physical attributes like muscular strength, endurance, speed, power, and agility affect the game. Muscle strength, power and speed are the essential components for batting, chasing the ball, running between the wickets, bowling, fielding and throwing.
With suggestions that limiting sedentary time can prevent obesity, the need to identify a cut-off point for daily sedentary time is being recognized. Therefore, this study aims to examine the dose-response relationship between daily sedentary time and obesity and to suggest a cutoff of daily sedentary time for the prevention of obesity. Data from the 2003 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. A total of 5,127 adults (>19 years old) were included in the present study.
Outdoor play and the daily way to school are considered as essential fields of experience for children to satisfy their motor needs, to gain increasing mobility and to establish social contacts. Although the kindergarten age is a central socialisation context in the active exploration of the environment, there have so far been only a few empirical findings on such activities of young children in Switzerland.
