Although running shoes won't cure knee pain on their own, choosing the right pair is a must if you hope to alleviate or avoid knee pain and keep logging those miles.
10 Strengthening Exercises for Hip Bursitis
Previously, researchers thought that hip bursitis was the primary cause of lateral or side hip pain. Now, experts know that greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a more accurate explanation. GTPS includes injury or wear and tear of the gluteal muscle tendons (tendinopathy), which may cause hip pain that worsens with movement.
Muscle tissue changes could be driving sex-based injury risk, say physiologists
Differences in the way muscles respond to stress could help explain why certain sports injuries are more common in women compared to men, and vice versa, new research suggests.
Predicting the need for collateral ligament repair in transolecranon fractures of the elbow: a traffic light model
Biomechanical studies have shown translation of the proximal radius relative to the capitellum in the sagittal plane can predict integrity of the collateral ligaments in a transolecranon fracture model; no studies have examined this in clinical practice.
Impact of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Design and Patient Shoulder Size on Moment Arms and Muscle Fiber Lengths in Shoulder Abductors
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) increases the moment arm of the deltoid, however there is limited knowledge on the accompanying changes in muscle architecture that play a role in muscle force production.
