Ultrasonography Can Be Early Diagnostic Modality For Pediatric Calcaneus Fractures: A Case Report, Ying-Chu Chen, Szu-En Chen Jan 2023

Ultrasonography Can Be Early Diagnostic Modality For Pediatric Calcaneus Fractures: A Case Report, Ying-Chu Chen, Szu-En Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Although calcaneus fractures may be the most common pediatric tarsal bone fracture, most occult calcaneus fractures are not visible on plain radiography, resulting in delayed diagnosis. However, ultrasonography can aid early diagnosis of this fracture with an unspecified mechanism of injury and unremarkable radiographic findings. In a pediatric patient with progressive ankle swelling and pain, initial plain radiography was unremarkable, and antibiotics were administered for suspected infective arthritis. After limping developed, ultrasonography showed symmetric growth plates of bilateral distal tibia, fibula, and tarsal bone; a step-off calcaneus cortex with periosteal reaction; increased power Doppler flow; and probe tenderness, indicating a …

Effects Of Alcohol Consumption Following Resistance Training: A Narrative Review Of Physical Performance And Metabolic Recovery, Yueh-Tung Pan, Chueh-Hung Wu Jan 2023

Effects Of Alcohol Consumption Following Resistance Training: A Narrative Review Of Physical Performance And Metabolic Recovery, Yueh-Tung Pan, Chueh-Hung Wu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background: Resistance training is a popular exercise modality that aims to increase muscle strength, power, and endurance. Meanwhile, alcohol is a widely used recreational beverage that has been found to negatively affect physical performance and recovery. Thus, understanding the effects of alcohol consumption following resistance training is crucial for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Method: A literature search from 2010 to 2022 was conducted on the PubMed database to identify relevant studies investigating the effects of alcohol consumption after resistance training. The following search terms were used: "alcohol," "resistance training," "physical performance," "recovery," and "metabolism." Only studies published with human participants …

Effect Of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation On Gait Function And Strength Among Patients With Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-Analysis, Yen-Ting Chen, Yu-Chi Su, Yu-Ching Lin Jan 2023

Effect Of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation On Gait Function And Strength Among Patients With Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-Analysis, Yen-Ting Chen, Yu-Chi Su, Yu-Ching Lin

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Purpose: This meta-anaylysis investigated the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the context of spinal cord injury (SCI). The study focused on assessing its impact on muscle strength and gait speed, measured through the lower extremities motor score of the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and 10-Meter Walk Test scores(10MWT). Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched for articles published through Oct 2023. We enrolled only randomized controlled trials. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool was used for quality assessment. Outcomes were analyzed as standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We …
