Development and validation of a questionnaire to measure the severity of functional limitations and reduction of sports ability in German-speaking patients with exercise-induced leg pain
Conclusions EILP-G questionnaire is a valid and reliable self-administered and disease-related outcome tool to measure the severity of symptoms that impact on function and sports ability in patients with exercise-induced leg pain. It can be recommended as a robust tool for measuring the subjectively perceived severity in German-speaking patients with exercise-induced leg pain.

Return to Play After Sports Hernia Surgery
Sports hernia is a condition that causes acute/chronic pain of low abdominal, groin, or adductor area in athletes. It is considered a weakness in the rectus abdominis insertion or posterior inguinal wall of lower abdomen caused by acute or repetitive injury of the structure. It is most commonly seen in soccer, ice hockey, and martial arts players who require acute cutting, pivoting, or kicking. A variety of surgical options have been reported with successful outcome with high rates of return to the sports in a majority of cases.

Athletic groin pain (part 2): a prospective cohort study on the biomechanical evaluation of change of direction identifies three clusters of movement patterns.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified three distinct movement strategies among athletes with long-standing groin pain during a maximum effort change-of-direction task These movement strategies were not related to clinical assessment findings but highlighted targets for rehabilitation in response to possible propagative mechanisms.

The EdUReP approach plus manual therapy for the management of insertional Achilles tendinopathy: a case report.
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study applying a comprehensive approach based on accurate physical assessment, and using the EdUReP theoretical model. The combination of the EdUReP model and manual therapy was effective in resolving the patient's symptoms and restore his usual sport activities. While these results cannot be generalized, the present findings could provide a valuable foundation for future researches. PMID: 28222571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Trunk and gluteus-medius muscles' fatigability during occupational standing in clinical instructors with low back pain.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical instructors with LBP are more liable to have higher trunk and gluteus-medius muscle fatigue than asymptomatic individuals. Thus, endurance training for these muscles should be included in the rehabilitation of such patients.Key words: Fatigability, Trunk, Gluteus-medius, EMG, Standing, LBP.

Internal and external shame and chronic low back pain: differences between greek men and women athletes.
CONCLUSION: The results of the present study revealed the high levels of external shame in athletes of both genders with CLBP and confirmed that shame is an emotion highly connected with woman nature. Furthermore, from the subscale of ESS regarding bodily shame was presented that women have the self-perception of lower social power and the trend to judge there self less favorably to others.

Assessment of postural stability in subjects with lumbar disc herniation.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the balance evaluation of each limb independently can be useful in assessment of groups of subjects with unilateral disease. The LDH subjects showed increased ML postural sway on the affected limb during NBS conditions. Similar findings reported Mientjes and Frank(2) for chronic low back pain patients. They found an increase in the ML postural sway of these patients compared to healthy controls when the task involved increased complexity and removal of visual information.

Platelet-rich plasma (prp) to treat chronic upper patellar tendinopathies.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that a local infiltration of PRP associated with a submaximal eccentric protocol is efficient to improve symptoms of chronic upper patellar tendinopathies, non-responsive to classical conservative treatments. However, up to now, there is no consensus on the method to prepare the PRP. Indeed, each technique could provide a very different PRP (variations in the platelet concentrations and of the amount of red and white cells). PMID: 23757641 [PubMed - in process]

Acupuncture applied as a sensory discrimination training tool decreases movement-related pain in patients with chronic low back pain more than acupuncture alone: a randomised cross-over experiment.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are consistent with the idea that acupuncture may offer specific benefit that is not dependent on precisely where the needles are inserted so much as that the patient attends to where they are inserted. If so, the location of the needles might be better focused on the painful area and the need for penetration of the skin may be mitigated. PMID: 24021562 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Greater glycosaminoglycan content in human patellar tendon biopsies is associated with more pain and a lower VISA score.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased GAGs in the pathological human patellar tendon are related to a worse clinical status. These findings indicate that the VISA score reflects the extent of tendon tissue pathology. PMID: 24100290 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The 3rd International Patellofemoral Research Retreat: An international expert consensus meeting to improve the scientific understanding and clinical management of patellofemoral pain
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common and often chronic musculoskeletal condition, affecting young and physically active adults. It is a particularly common diagnosis of patients seen at sports medicine practices, with the incidence rates varying from 2% to 30%. Despite its high prevalence, the exact aetiology of PFP remains unclear, although evidence suggests a multifactorial origin. It is likely that the underlying cause of PFP is not the same for all patients. Because of the diverse origin of PFP, many rehabilitation programmes with various approaches have been proposed to treat this disorder. Several studies have demon...

Decreased tumour necrosis factor alpha (tnf-a) in serum of patients with achilles tendinopathy: further evidence against the role of inflammation in the chronic stage
Conclusions The observations indicate a lowering of the TNF-α concentration in the chronic phase of Achilles tendinopathy. As TNF-α levels are elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions, this reinforces that chronic Achilles tendinopathy is not an inflammatory disorder. Collecting a blood sample to study disease biomarkers leaves the tendon intact and therefore this design can be used to study cytokine dynamics with multiple sampling during disease progression and recovery.

Kinesio taping in musculoskeletal pain and disability that lasts for more than 4 weeks: is it time to peel off the tape and throw it out with the sweat? A systematic review with meta-analysis focused on pain and also methods of tape application.
DISCUSSION: Kinesio taping is superior to minimal intervention for pain relief. Existing evidence does not establish the superiority of Kinesio taping to other treatment approaches to reduce pain and disability for individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
