Novel Approach for Peripheral Subcutaneous Field Stimulation for the Treatment of Severe, Chronic Knee Joint Pain After Total Knee ArthroplastyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Introduction of a peripheral subcutaneous field stimulation directly to the painful knee area is a novel and simple procedure that was extremely effective for the relief of pain and may provide a breakthrough in the treatment of chronic intractable knee pain following total knee arthroplasty. The periarticular approach has several advantages, including only small incisions over the lateral and medial knee, proximal thigh and abdomen resulting in minimal strain on the lead array with flexion and extension contributing to overall stability of this system.

Use of electronic anatomy practical examinations for remediating "at risk" studentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes a combination of anatomy testing and grading strategies to allow "at risk" (borderline failing) students an opportunity to remediate their lowest set of examination scores and pass their anatomy course. An alternative electronic practical examination for these students provided flexibility in laboratory scheduling, thereby increasing laboratory access for other students taking concurrent courses. Specifically, the electronic examinations allowed for a reduction in the amount of time the cadaver laboratory is locked down for examination purposes. Masters-level occupational therapy (MOT) students, phys...

What Types of Community Services Are Available?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Discussion Health care providers often view the patient through the medical lens and may not see the full view of all aspects of patients and families lives. Even many who work in community centered locations may not be aware of the breadth of services wanted and needed by families. Medical and community services are diverse in every location and often change as funding becomes available or dries up. One of the most difficult tasks for a health care provider (and patients and families) is to move to a new location and need to locate and access various services. Health care providers who take care of patients and families ...

Preamputation Mirror Therapy May Prevent Development of Phantom Limb Pain: A Case Series.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the cases of 4 patients who performed daily mirror therapy for 2 wk before undergoing elective limb amputation. One patient experienced no phantom limb pain (PLP). Two patients experienced rare episodes of mild PLP without effect on their participation in physical therapy (PT) or their quality of life. One patient reported daily, brief episodes of moderate PLP without effect on his participation in PT or his stated quality of life. These results indicate that preoperative mirror therapy may improve postamputation PT compliance and decrease the incidence of PLP. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm the...

Tendinopathies of the foot and ankle.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Because our understanding of tendinopathy has evolved in recent years, the condition is now considered a degenerative process; this affects the approach to treatment. Initial therapy should always involve relative rest and modification of physical activity, use of rehabilitative exercises, and evaluation of intrinsic and extrinsic causes of injury. The posterior tibial tendon is a dynamic arch stabilizer; injury to this tendon can cause a painful flat-footed deformity with hindfoot valgus and midfoot abduction (characterized by the too many toes sign). Treatment of posterior tibial tendinopathy is determined by its sev...

Pain exposure physical therapy may be a safe and effective treatment for longstanding complex regional pain syndrome type 1: a case series.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that 'pain exposure physical therapy' is effective and safe for patients who are unresponsive to accepted standard therapies. Avoiding the use of a limb due to pain will result in loss of function. Forced usage of limbs restores the function, reverses these adaptive processes and leads to regain of control by practice with a reduction of pain in most cases.

Editorial CommentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This manuscript introduces a new symptom index to assess men and women with genitourinary pain. There is marked similarity of symptoms in men and women with chronic pain thought to be due to either bladder or prostate pathology. Consequently, the questionnaires used to quantify the symptoms (ie, NIH-CPSI and IC-PBS) showed significant overlap. The authors used the NIH-CPSI and added 2 additional pain subscale items from the IC-PBS symptom questionnaire to format a male genitourinary pain index (M-GUPI). For females, the male-specific pain items were changed to female-specific items to generate the female genitourinary pain...
