Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 100 patients, treatment with 2 intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injections vs placebo injections with saline resulted in a mean change in the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score (range, 0-100; higher scores indicate less pain and better function) of 10 vs 11 points over 26 weeks; the between-group difference was not statistically significant. Meaning These findings do not support the use of platelet-rich plasma injections for patients with ankle osteoarthritis.
Importance Approximately 3.4% of adults have ankle (tibiotalar) osteoarthritis and, among younger patients, ankle osteoarthritis is more common than knee and hip osteoarthritis. Objective To determine the effect of PRP injections on symptoms and function in patients with ankle osteoarthritis. Twitter. Twitter. Twitter. Twitter. Do not routinely offer imaging for uncomplicated low back pain. Amanda M Hall, assistant professor1, Kris Aubrey-Bassler, director1, Bradley Thorne, patient advisor1, Chris G Maher, director2Author affiliationsCorrespondence to: A M Hall amanda.Hall@med.mun.ca What you need to know The past two decades have seen a paradigm shift in the way we use imaging when managing low back pain (LBP). Imaging was once a routine part of the diagnostic workup for most cases of LBP. Evidence now indicates that imaging is useful only in the small subgroup of patients for whom there is suspicion of red flag conditions.
These conditions include cancer, infection, inflammatory disease, fracture, and severe neurological deficits—which together account for only 5-10% of LBP presentations in primary care.1 For the remaining 90-95% of LBP cases (called non-specific or uncomplicated LBP), imaging will not guide management and can cause more harm than benefit.

Spinal manipulation and perineural electrical dry needling in patients with cervicogenic headache: a multicenter randomized clinical trial. Introduction The International Classification of Headache Disorders defines cervicogenic headache (CH) as, “headache caused by a disorder of the cervical spine and its component bony, disc, and/or soft tissue elements, usually but not invariably accompanied by neck pain” [1].
The prevalence of CH has been reported to be between 0.4% and 20% of the headache population [2,3], and as high as 53% in patients with headache after whiplash injury [4]. The dominant features of CH usually include: unilaterality of head pain without side-shift, elicitation of pain with external pressure over the ipsilateral upper neck, limited cervical range of motion, and the triggering of attacks by various awkward or sustained neck movements [4,5]. Individuals with CH are frequently treated with manual therapies including both nonthrust mobilization and thrust manipulation [6]. It is important to understand that patients with CH usually require multimodal treatment [10,17]. Methods Study design Participants. Blood Flow Restriction Training for Athletes: A Systematic Review - PubMed. Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a novel technique involving the use of a cuff/tourniquet system positioned around the proximal end of an extremity to maintain arterial flow while restricting venous return.
Purpose: To analyze the available literature regarding the use of BFR to supplement traditional resistance training in healthy athletes. Study design: Systematic review. Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. From November to December 2018, studies that examined the effects of BFR training in athletes were identified using PubMed and OVID Medline.
Reference lists from selected articles were analyzed for additional studies. The inclusion criteria for full article review were randomized studies with control groups that implemented BFR training into athletes' resistance training workouts. Case reports and review studies were excluded.

Combat and Noncombat Musculoskeletal Injuries in the US Military - PubMed. First Contact Practitioners and Advanced Practitioners in Primary Care: (Musculoskeletal) | Health Education England.
Why do we need an educational training pathway to First Contact roles and Advanced Practice in Primary care? FCP roles are different to the community and secondary core sectors as work as diagnostic clinicians who see and manage undifferentiated undiagnosed conditions at the first point of contact and do not have the same support from a large multi- professional team around them. It is important because of this to set a standard of practice to ensure that the roles are properly governed to keep our patients safe. Is this a tick box exercise? This is not a tick box exercise. It is a requirement that both stage one and stage two are evidenced with triangulated with written evidence that needs to be verified by your supervisor that maps to the documents at level 7 (masters level). This evidences that you are able to work at this level of practice both academically and that you have the ability to apply that knowledge to practice in the clinical setting.

Prior to Scheduling A few questions may be important to consider prior to scheduling a new patient.
Was the patient hospitalized for COVID-19? If no, when was the onset of symptoms? When was the last day of symptoms? If patient not sure of last day of symptoms, when was the last day of the fever? If the patient was hospitalized, when was the patient discharged? Rationale Currently, there are no guidelines on probability of reinfection. For 30% of the hospitalized patients, positive oropharyngeal saliva samples occurred 20 days after onset.[2] In another study using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), positive tests were also found. The goal of questioning is to estimate the patient's current viral load. The science around learning more about reinfection is quite fluid. In the United States of America, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlines guidance when no testing has been performed. Special Questions Was the patient on a ventilator?

Real-time Telerehabilitation for the Treatment of Musculoskeletal Conditions Is Effective and Comparable to Standard Practice: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PubMed. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment delivered via real-time telerehabilitation for the management of musculoskeletal conditions, and to determine if real-time telerehabilitation is comparable to conventional methods of delivery within this population. Data sources: Six databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, PEDro, psycINFO, CINAHL) were searched from inception to November 2015 for literature which reported on the outcomes of real-time telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions. Review methods: Two reviewers screened 5913 abstracts where 13 studies ( n = 1520) met the eligibility criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Downs & Black 'Checklist for Measuring Quality' tool. Results were pooled for meta-analysis based upon primary outcome measures and reported as standardised mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Are Changes in Fear-Avoidance Beliefs and Self-Efficacy Mediators of Discharge Function and Pain in Patients With Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain? | Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy. Fear-avoidance beliefs and self-efficacy are considered important determinants of outcomes in patients with low back pain (LBP). Few studies have conducted longitudinal analyses to determine whether meaningful changes in functional outcomes are mediated by changes in these psychological factors. To examine the mediating role of changes in fear-avoidance beliefs and self-efficacy on pain and physical functioning at discharge in patients with acute and chronic LBP.
Baseline and discharge data from 418 participants with acute or chronic LBP were analyzed. Mediation analyses on discharge functional status and pain intensity were conducted with acute and chronic LBP status as the predictor, and changes in fear-avoidance beliefs and/or self-efficacy from baseline to discharge as the mediator. Fear-avoidance beliefs were not a mediator of discharge pain or function outcome in patients with chronic LBP.
