BACKGROUND: An increased or decreased critical shoulder angle (CSA) is a known risk factor for osteoarthritis, lesions, and re-ruptures in the rotator cuff. A CSA greater than 35° correlates with degenerative rotator cuff tears, while a CSA of less than 30° correlates with osteoarthritis in the glenohumeral joint. The diagnostic gold standard for its determination is X-ray or MRI. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this research was to assess the viability of utilizing sonography imaging as a diagnostic tool to determine the modified critical shoulder angle (mCSA)...

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) uniquely describes cerebrovascular response to neural activation and has demonstrated impairments following concussion in adult patients. It is currently unclear how adolescent patients experience impaired neurovascular coupling acutely following concussion during this dynamic phase of physiological development. The purpose of this study was to investigate NVC in acutely concussed adolescent patients relative to controls. We recruited patients presenting to a sports medicine practice within 28 days of a concussion or a musculoskeletal injury (controls)...

Joint effusion is diagnostically important. The canine carpal joint effusion, which is sometimes difficult to detect clinically, has received less attention in diagnostic ultrasound (US) studies. The aim of the present study was to provide a description of the morphological appearance of the canine carpal joint cavities and recesses using US, radiography, helical computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional volume rendering technique (3D-VRT) images and to prove the applicability of musculoskeletal US for the detection of artificial carpal joint effusion in dogs...

OBJECTIVES: Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition where musculoskeletal structures compress the popliteal artery (POPA) leading to vascular compromise. This study investigates the effect of dynamic plantar- and dorsi-flexion loading on POPA hemodynamic parameters to develop a robust diagnostic ultrasound-based protocol for diagnosing functional PAES. METHODS: Healthy individuals (n = 20), recreational athletes (n = 20), and symptomatic (n = 20) PAES patients were consented...

OBJECTIVE: Individuals positive for anti-cyclic-peptide-antibodies (anti-CCP) and musculoskeletal complaints (MSK-C) are at risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we aimed to investigate factors involved in arthritis progression. METHODS: Anti-CCP2-positive individuals with MSK-C referred to a rheumatologist were recruited. Individuals lacked arthritis at clinical and ultrasound examination and were followed for ≥three years or until clinical arthritis diagnosis...

BACKGROUND: Surgery for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients is challenging due to the risk of severe pain and significant stress responses. We investigated the effects of a combined approach of ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with general anesthesia on anesthetic efficacy and surgical outcomes in these patients. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 150 elderly patients, divided into two groups: the combined anesthesia group (receiving ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block along with general anesthesia) and the general anesthesia alone group...

PURPOSE: This study compares the acute effects of a static stretching and a warmup protocol on the active and passive shear modulus of the hamstring muscles. METHODS: Muscle shear modulus was assessed at rest and during isometric contractions at 20 % of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). RESULTS: After stretching, the passive shear modulus pattern was not altered, while at 20 % MVIC the biceps femoris short head (BFsh) and semimembranosus showed a shear modulus increase and decrease, respectively, which resulted on BFsh-SM pair differences (pre: 3...

METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted. The study included patients older than 65 years admitted in internal medicine, acute geriatrics, orthogeriatrics and rehabilitation departments. All measurements, ultrasonographic measurements and muscle mass and function by bio-impedancemetry and dynamometry, were taken within the first 48 hours of admission...

CONTEXT: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is primarily characterized by myofascial trigger points related to fascial adhesions. MPS hinders fascial flexibility and mobility, leading to myofascial limitations, dysfunctional movement, and limitation of motion (LOM). OBJECTIVES: This study determined the association of age, sex, type of work, symptom chronicity, symptom laterality, cervical LOM, altered direction of fascial displacement, and magnitude of superficial fascial displacement during active cervical flexion with the clinical diagnosis of MPS...

BACKGROUND: First-degree relatives (FDRs) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are known to have increased risk of developing the disease. The detection of altered bone metabolism in FDRs could be a predictor of the disease. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is known for its ability to detect subclinical joint inflammation in RA, but changes in FDRs are not yet described. We aimed to study serum Osteopontin (OPN) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels in FDRs of RA patients as markers of altered bone metabolism in relation to clinical, laboratory and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) findings...

RECENT FINDINGS: In individuals with musculoskeletal symptoms and elevated antibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA) without clinical inflammatory arthritis (IA), a 'simple' score has a positive predictive value (PPV) of ∼28% for clinical IA/RA within 1 year, and a comprehensive score (including ultrasound) has a PPV of ∼71% for clinical RA within 5 years...

Accurately diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, particularly in athletes, often presents a challenge for healthcare practitioners. Although pectoralis muscle injuries are relatively uncommon, the diagnosis of a tear may be overlooked without careful screening by a thorough physical examination of both the injured and uninjured sides. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally held the gold standard, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) has emerged as a viable alternative. This article delves into the power of MSKUS in evaluating and diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, highlighting its dynamic capabilities, real-time visualization, and cost-effectiveness in comparison to MRI...

INTRODUCTION: Lumbar spondylolysis is the most common underlying cause of lower back pain (LBP) in young athletes. Conservative treatment methods are often used to reduce pain and promote healing. Several parameters may affect the duration of conservative treatment, such as the time to return to play (RTP), patient behavior, and physical parameters; however, no study has comprehensively assessed the factors that affect the time to RTP. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the time required for RTP among young athletes with early-stage spondylolysis receiving conservative treatment using structural equation modeling (SEM)...
