This document summarizes the physical characteristics and clinical examination of the shoulder in overhead throwing athletes. It discusses that overhead throwing athletes exhibit adaptations in shoulder range of motion, with increased external rotation and decreased internal rotation compared to the non-dominant arm. The document also notes that total rotation range of motion remains equal between arms. Additional physical characteristics discussed include increased anterior scapular tilt and upward rotation in the dominant arm. The summary provides an overview of the unique physical attributes clinicians should be aware of when evaluating and treating overhead throwing athletes.
There are several common injuries that can occur in javelin throwers, including injuries to the elbow, shoulder, and back. Key factors that can help prevent these injuries are having proper throwing technique, sufficient strength and conditioning of the whole body, adequate flexibility and joint range of motion, and supervision of athletes. Common elbow injuries include "thrower's elbow" which can result from improper technique producing excess strain on the ligaments. Shoulder injuries often involve displacement of the humeral head and can be addressed through strengthening exercises. Back injuries typically involve muscle strains or stress fractures from the alternating flexion and extension demands on the lumbar spine during the throw.
Overuse injurues in overhead athletes 3vineet bansal
Overuse shoulder injuries are common in overhead athletes such as swimmers, throwers, and racquet sport players. Epidemiological studies show that up to 50% of elite handball players and 67% of elite swimmers experience shoulder pain. Overuse injuries result from repetitive microtrauma to tendons, muscles, ligaments and bones from the overhead motion of these sports. Prevention focuses on reducing training errors and volumes, strengthening the scapular muscles and rotator cuff, and addressing biomechanical faults. Rehabilitation incorporates kinetic chain exercises, eccentric strengthening, and a gradual return to overhead activity.

Abstract:Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal sports injury encountered. In sports injuries throughout the countries studied, the ankle was the second most common injured body site after the knee. The purpose of the review study is to study the pathophysiology, predisposing factors, and the current evidence regarding therapeutic modalities and exercises used in the treatment of ankle sprain. There is a high incidence rate of approximately 75% of lateral ankle sprain; it also possesses a high incidence rate of re-injury. Recent researches have proved that immobilization post ankle sprain facilitates ligament healing and enhances the rehabilitative protocol. In addition to that the other treatment protocols are to be implemented as an adjunct for instance graded joint mobilization, proprioceptive training and balance training. Altering current rehabilitative protocol to enhance the joint range of motion and to maintain the soft tissue integrity with stringent immobilization, and including graded joint mobilizations and balance training may be the first step to decreasing the incidence of short and long term ankle joint dysfunction.

A Division I football player experienced acute posterior leg pain while playing. An ultrasound examination revealed an unusual injury - a complete rupture of the plantaris tendon mid-substance. This type of isolated plantaris tendon injury has rarely been reported. Ultrasound was useful for diagnosis and guided rehabilitation by monitoring healing over time. The athlete was able to return to full competition within 3 weeks through a progressive rehabilitation program focused on restoring range of motion and strength. This case suggests isolated plantaris tendon injuries may allow for faster return to play than other potential causes of posterior leg pain.
This case series describes the conservative treatment of 6 collegiate athletes (4 males, 2 females aged 19-22) diagnosed with a sports hernia, or athletic pubalgia. A sports hernia is an injury involving weakness of the posterior inguinal wall without a hernia, causing severe groin pain with exertion. The athletes were evaluated for 5 key findings of sports hernia and treated with physical therapy including manual therapy, exercises, for a mean of 7.7 sessions. 3 athletes improved with conservative care alone while the other 3 improved after additional surgical repair and a mean of 6.7 sessions of post-surgical physical therapy. Conservative management including manual therapy appears to be a viable initial treatment option for sports hern
This document discusses vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which are a significant health problem worldwide. It notes that VCFs can cause kyphosis, loss of height, impaired mobility, decreased pulmonary function, reduced quality of life, increased mortality risk, and increased risk of future fractures. While current medical management may fail to fully relieve pain or restore function, a new minimally invasive technique called KyphX involves using an inflatable bone tamp to reduce the fracture and restore vertebral body height in a less invasive manner than open surgery.
1) The document reviews literature on landing and jumping biomechanics as they relate to injury risk, particularly for the ACL. Improper mechanics can increase injury risk, and prevention programs have shown success in correcting mechanics.
2) Female adolescents are most at risk for ACL injury due to changes during puberty. A training program was shown to limit loss of knee control in female athletes. Prevention programs have had success reducing injuries by focusing on balance, flexibility, strength, and proper technique education.
3) The Landing Error Scoring System has been shown to accurately assess landing mechanics and identify errors related to injury risk. It can help evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at correcting landing techniques.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury in AthletesDikshaTaani
Ulnar collateral ligament or medial collateral ligament injuries are most common in players: baseball pitchers, gymnasts, javelin throwers etc.
It mainly occurs with repetitive throwing motion which causes strain on medial collateral ligament and is known as Thrower's elbow.
Injury can be of two types: overuse & traumatic injury in which overuse ligament injuries are the commonest of all.
Due to muscular imbalance & faulty technique injury occurs.
Common complains are pain, bruising, tenderness over the medial side of elbow and felt during movement.
Preseason shoulder strength measurements were taken on professional baseball pitchers over 5 seasons to identify any players at risk for injury. Weaker external rotation strength and supraspinatus strength were associated with an increased risk of injuries requiring surgery. Specifically, weaker preseason measurements of prone external rotation, seated external rotation, and supraspinatus strength correlated with injuries necessitating surgical intervention. Weaker external rotation relative to internal rotation also correlated with an increased risk of shoulder injuries. However, preseason strength measurements did not predict injuries in players with prior surgery. Identifying pitchers with weaker rotator cuff muscles preseason may help formulate injury prevention programs.
Changes in shoulder range of motion after pitching in baseball playersSatoshi Kajiyama
1) A study of 67 professional baseball pitchers found significant decreases in shoulder internal rotation, total shoulder motion, and elbow extension immediately after pitching that persisted for 24 hours.
2) No changes were seen in the non-dominant arm, suggesting the effects were due to the pitching motion itself.
3) The decreases may be due to high eccentric muscle contractions of the shoulder external rotators and elbow flexors during pitching, causing acute musculotendinous adaptations and altered range of motion.
This document discusses common volleyball injuries, including acute and overuse injuries. The most common acute injury is ankle sprains, usually from landing on another player's foot. Overuse injuries include patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) and shoulder issues. Treatment for acute injuries follows PRICE principles (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation) while overuse injuries are managed with rest, strengthening, and modifying training. Preventing ankle sprains involves proprioceptive exercises, ankle braces, and potentially rule changes.
Overuse injuries to the elbow in the throwing athlete are frequent. Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR), commonly known as Tommy John surgery, is performed on athletes from all levels of competition.
The purpose of this study is to review all ulnar collateral ligament reconstructions performed at a single institution between January 2004 – July 2014. The study reported patient demographics, clinical outcomes, return to sport rate and complications.

Classification and Grading of Muscle Injuries: A Review of the Literature
(6th MuscleTech Network Workshop)
14th October, Barcelona
This document discusses spine immobilization and injury. It provides data on the incidence and mechanisms of spine injuries from the Trauma Audit between 2010-2014. It showed the majority of urgent spine surgeries were for the cervical and thoracic regions. The principles of clinical assessment for the cervical and thoracolumbar spine are outlined, including the NEXUS criteria for clearing the cervical spine. Imaging guidelines and classifications systems for cervical (SLIC) and thoracolumbar (TLICS) injuries are summarized. Various immobilization devices for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine like halos, Minerva braces, and TLSO braces are described.
Sportsman’s hernia is a complex entity with injuries occurring at different levels in the groin region. Each damaged anatomical structure gives rise to a different set of symptoms and signs making the diagnosis difficult. The apprehension of a hernia is foremost in the mind of the surgeon. Absence of a hernia sac adds to the confusion. Hence awareness of this condition is essential for the general surgeon to avoid misdiagnosis.
This document discusses shoulder issues in competitive swimmers. It begins by outlining the objectives, which are to discuss the phases of the freestyle stroke, prevalence of shoulder injuries in swimmers, range of motion patterns in injured vs uninjured swimmers, and evidence-based evaluation and management strategies. It then provides details on each phase of the freestyle stroke and how mechanics may differ in painful shoulders. A high prevalence of shoulder pain in competitive swimmers is noted. Various intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for "swimmer's shoulder" are reviewed. The concepts of glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and total arc of motion are discussed in the context of throwing athletes and how these apply to swimmers. Evaluation and treatment strategies
Female athletes are 4 times more likely than males to suffer ACL tears, with around 200,000 occurring annually in the US. This is due to various intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors in females, such as smaller ACL size, increased knee laxity, and quadriceps-dominant muscle activation patterns. Females also tend to land with more extended knees and increased valgus angles. Prospective studies show that neuromuscular training programs focusing on improving landing mechanics, increasing hamstring activation, and enhancing proprioception can significantly reduce the risk of ACL tears in female athletes.
1. Athletic pubalgia, also known as sports hernia or core muscle injury, is a chronic lower abdominal and groin pain in athletes without a true hernia.
2. It results from an injury to structures like the pubic aponeurosis from opposing forces of the adductor longus and rectus abdominus muscles at the pubic symphysis during athletic activities.
3. Physical examination findings include tenderness over the pubic tubercle and pain with resisted hip adduction or sit-ups reproducing the symptoms. Diagnostic imaging includes pelvic x-rays to evaluate for injuries or conditions like femoroacetabular impingement that may be associated with athletic pubalgia.
Golf Shoulder Injuries | Dr. Peter Millett | Orthopedic Surgeon - Vail Colorado Peter Millett MD
Although often perceived as a leisurely activity, golf can be a demanding sport, which can result in shoulder injuries, usually from overuse and sometimes from poor technique. The shoulder is a commonly affected site, with the lead shoulder, or the left shoulder in the right-handed golfer, particularly vulnerable to injury. A thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing is help- ful in diagnosing and managing these injuries. Common shoulder injuries affecting golfers include subacromial impingement, acromioclavicular arthrosis, rotator cuff tear, glenohumeral instability, and glenohumeral arthrosis. Although the majority of patients with these disorders will respond to nonsurgical treatment, including rest and a structured program of physical therapy, further benefits can be obtained with subtle modifications of the golf swing. Those golfers who fail to respond to nonsurgical management can often return to competitive play with appropriate surgical treatment.

Introduction
Achilles Tendon, the largest and strongest tendon in the human body is formed by fusion of the tendinous portion of calf muscles; the gastrocnemius and soleus [1,2]. Achilles tendon can largely with stand tensional forces of locomotion. The incidence of Achilles tendon injuries has increased considerably during the pastdecade [1-5]. Such injuries account for 45% of all sports related injuries among athletes and general public. Achilles tendon complaints generally represent most tendon problems in any population and can be divided into “Spontaneous ruptures” (excessive loadinginduced injury/degeneration of tendon without any predisposing systemic diseases); and “Overuse injuries” (traced to sports and exercise-related overuse). Sometimes, a systemic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis may manifest with Achilles tendon symptoms, but this represents only a minority (~2%) of all cases [1,6].

This document summarizes a systematic review study that examined the causative factors and rehabilitation approaches for lateral ankle sprains. The review studied the pathophysiology, predisposing risk factors, and current evidence on therapeutic modalities and exercises used to treat ankle sprains. The review found that immobilization after ankle sprains facilitates ligament healing and rehabilitation. Graded joint mobilization, proprioceptive training, and balance training should also be included as adjunct treatments.

This document summarizes a case report of a 66-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain after suffering two epileptic seizures. Imaging revealed she had sustained bilateral fractures of the acetabulum (hip socket) from the seizures. Treatment options were limited due to her osteoporosis and non-compliance. She eventually underwent successful bilateral total hip arthroplasty, with bone grafting to repair the acetabulum. At one-year follow up she had no pain or limitations. The summary reviews risk factors for fractures in epileptic patients and discusses treatment approaches for acetabular fractures, noting total hip arthroplasty can provide good outcomes for displaced fractures even when bilateral.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: Identification of Risk Factors and Prevent...Fernando Farias
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common and affects
young individuals, particularly girls, who are active in sports that involve
jumping, pivoting, as well as change of direction. ACL injury is associ-
ated with potential long-term complications including reduction in ac-
tivity levels and osteoarthritis. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors
have been identified, which include anatomic variations, neuromuscular
deficits, biomechanical abnormalities, playing environment, and hormonal
status. Multicomponent prevention programs have been shown to be ef-
fective in reducing the incidence of this injury in both girls and boys. Pro-
grams should include a combination of strengthening, stretching, aerobic
conditioning, plyometrics, proprioceptive and balance training, as well as
education and feedback regarding body mechanics and proper landing
pattern. Preventive programs should be implemented at least 6 wk prior to
competition, followed by a maintenance program during the season.
This document summarizes current concepts in evaluating and treating shoulder injuries in overhead throwing athletes. It discusses the unique physical characteristics of overhead throwers, including increased shoulder range of motion (ROM) with excessive external rotation and decreased internal rotation. It also notes adaptations in scapular positioning. The summary provides an overview of evaluating the throwing shoulder through examination of ROM, joint laxity, scapular positioning, and strength as well as understanding the athlete's injury history and symptoms. Adaptations like increased external rotation are normal for overhead athletes while decreased total ROM or a hard end feel during internal rotation may indicate pathology.

Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture With Generalized Joint Laxity Foll...Apollo Hospitals
THE function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is to
provide stability to the knee and minimize stress across the knee joint. It restrains excessive forward movement of the tibia in relation to the femur. It also limits rotational
movements of the knee. A hard twist or excessive pressure on the ACL can tear or rupture the ligament, resulting in high levels of short-term disability and extensive rehabilitation. The cost of treatment & rehabilitation of an ACL injured person is also phenomenal.
1) The document discusses rehabilitation of articular cartilage lesions in athletes' knees. It focuses on focal lesions, advanced full-thickness lesions, and bone bruises.
2) Risk factors for developing cartilage lesions include joint injuries, biomechanics, genetics, activities, and biochemistry. Injuries to the ACL and meniscus may increase risk.
3) Treatment for young athletes with cartilage lesions is difficult and limited in success. The document discusses evaluation and non-operative treatment strategies.
Hip and Thigh injuries in sports such as- Perthes Disease, Osteitis Pubis, Avascular Necrosis of The Femoral Head, Hip Pointer, Classic Groin Strain, ‘Pull’ Or Adductor Tendinopathy, Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, Trochanteric Bursitis/Gluteus Medius Tendinopathy, Iliopsoas strain, Quadriceps strain, Irritable Hip etc.
Shoulder dislocations are the most common joint dislocations, and only 2% of these are seen as posterior shoulder dislocations. The floating elbow was first described in children, after that shown in adults. Floating elbow cases are very rare, and usually seen with high-energy trauma. Classical definition is the coexistence of the humeral diaphyseal and forearm fracture, but there are other definitions as well.

Hamstring strains are common injuries that occur during activities involving sprinting or kicking. They frequently happen during the swing phase of sprinting when the hamstrings are lengthened. Risk factors include age, previous injury, low flexibility, weakness, fatigue, and improper warm-up. Prevention strategies include stretching, strengthening, sport-specific training, and combined programs addressing multiple risk factors.
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury is a term used to describe an injury to the top of the shoulder, where the front of the shoulder blade (acromion) attaches to the collarbone (clavicle).
Triathlons pose risks of injury to competitors. Common injuries include swimmer's shoulder from repetitive overhead motions of swimming, biker's back from improper bike setup or form, runner's knee from overuse or muscle imbalances, and Achilles tendonitis also from overuse. However, many triathlon injuries are preventable through measures like allowing adequate rest between workouts, following the 10% rule of gradual increases in training, stretching, and addressing muscle imbalances or equipment fit issues. While injuries may still occur, taking proper precautions can help athletes minimize risks and enjoy competing in triathlons.
This document discusses the case of a 35-year-old man who sustained a Grade 2 sprain of the anterior talofibular ligament in his right ankle while playing basketball. On examination, swelling and discoloration were observed over the anterior and lateral ankle, with increased pain on inversion and plantarflexion tests. Radiographs did not reveal any fractures. The document then provides background information on ankle anatomy, the classification of ankle sprains, signs and symptoms, epidemiology, diagnostic tests, differential diagnoses, conservative and surgical management options, and the evidence for rehabilitation techniques.

The most common type is posterior hip dislocation caused by high-energy injuries like motor vehicle accidents. Closed reduction techniques like the Allis or Bigelow maneuvers are generally attempted first, while open reduction may be needed for unstable or complex injuries. After successful reduction, the hip is immobilized and physical therapy begun to restore range of motion and strength without reinjury. Complications can include avascular necrosis, nerve palsies, and recurrent dislocations if not properly managed.
This document discusses the case of a 35-year-old man who sustained a Grade 2 sprain of his right ankle while playing basketball. On examination, swelling and discoloration were observed over the anterior and lateral ankle, with increased pain on inversion and plantarflexion tests. Radiographs showed no fracture but instability of the anterior talofibular ligament. The document then provides background information on ankle anatomy, classifications of ankle sprains, symptoms, diagnostic tools and differential diagnoses, non-surgical and surgical management options, and evidence for various rehabilitation techniques.
This document provides information on the initial evaluation and management of orthopedic injuries. It defines types of injuries like fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains. It describes signs and symptoms, mechanisms of injury, and principles of splinting and immobilizing various fractures and injuries of the shoulder, upper arm, forearm, thigh, lower leg, ankle and foot. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing circulation, sensation and movement after injury and immobilization.
Medial Epicondylitis conditioning and rehabsirish413
Medial epicondylitis, commonly known as golfer's elbow, is an injury caused by small tears developing in the tendons that attach muscles in the forearm to the inner elbow bone. It occurs due to repetitive motions like those seen in sports like golf, tennis, or weightlifting with poor form. Symptoms include pain on the inner elbow and forearm when flexing the wrist. Rehabilitation focuses on reducing inflammation, strengthening the forearm muscles, and improving flexibility through exercises like wrist stretches and resistance band work. Prevention emphasizes warming up, proper form, and resting when pain first occurs.
The Risk Factors that Affecting the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury i...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
The purpose of the present study was to determine of some risk factors influencing of non-contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in Soccer, basketball and Taekwondo players. If an athlete injured anterior cruciate ligament the most important thing is to identify factors that affect the injury. However, a growing research implicates hormonal, anatomical, environmental and neuromuscular factors that may predispose athletes to these injuries. For this research selected 510 athlete for assess ACL injury factors by two different methods
a. Questionnaire and
b. Interview that information collected among athletes who were play soccer, basketball and taekwondo.
Our results indicate 61.4% of ACL injury occurred in practice time and 38.6% of ACL injury was during competition. Also our finding showed that 69% mechanism of injury was non-contact, 4.7% via accident and 26.3% with unknown reason. Furthermore dynamic alignment at the time of the injury included: Knee-in & Toe- out 44%, Knee-out & Toe-in 22.5 and Hyperextension 11.1%.
The ACL prevents the femur from moving forward during weight bearing. It also helps to prevent rotation of the joint. Injury of the ACL most often occurs when an athlete is pivoting, decelerating suddenly or landing from a jump. The injury can also be caused by another player falling across the knee. ACL injuries are, probably, the most common devastating knee ligament injuries amongst sports persons. Usually these injuries are isolated, mainly in non-contact sports, but many often are a part of more complex ligamentous injuries. They occur more often in contact sports, such as soccer, basketball or taekwondo. In conclusion, our study produced strong evidence in support of a significant some factors influencing of ACL injury in Soccer, basketball and Taekwondo players.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the outcome of arthroscopic release in patients with cronicalchronic lateral epicondylitis. Materials and methods: Arthroscopic release in three patients with lateral epicondylitis was performed. The Mayo Elbow Performance Index (or Mayo Elbow Performance score) was used pre and post surgical treatment. Sample: Two females and one male. The patients were principal labourers and not athletes. Patients had significant pain and pain was the principal symptom that affected the score of the performance index.
Results: Scores on the performance index improved after surgery. No neurological complications were reported and early return to normal daily activities was noted.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic treatment was an alternative safe and effective method for treating chronic lateral epicondiyitis in three cases. This method makes it possible to simultaneously scan the articulation to diagnostic and treatment associated diseases. It is necessary most wide assays and comparative studies for establish sure treatment protocols.
This case report describes a rare case of recurrent simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations in a 31-year-old man following epileptic seizures. The man's shoulders had dislocated simultaneously and anteriorly two years prior during a seizure. Following another seizure, both shoulders dislocated again in the same manner. The shoulders were reduced under general anesthesia and immobilized for 6 weeks. Rehabilitation was initiated and at follow-ups 3 and 9 months later, shoulder function had improved substantially without recurrence. Bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations secondary to seizures are very uncommon and this case adds to the limited reports in the literature of this rare lesional association.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
