Feasibility of a day-camp model of modified constraint-induced movement therapy with and without botulinum toxin A injection for children with hemiplegia. |
Eliasson AC, Shaw K, Pontén E, Boyd R, Krumlinde-Sundholm L. |
The objective of the study was to investigate the feasibility of modified constraint-induced (CI) therapy provided in a 2-week day-camp model with and without intramuscular botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections for children with congenital cerebral palsy. Sixteen children with congenital hemiplegia, Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I and II, aged 8-17 years, participated in a CI therapy day camp; of whom five participants (aged 11-16 years) received intramuscular BoNT-A prior to CI therapy. Assessments were conducted 4 months and 2 weeks before (baselines 1 and 2), immediately after, and 6 months after the day camp. For the children who received BoNT-A, no statistical analyses were conducted due to the small size of the sample. In this group, consistent improvement was only found according to the Melbourne Unilateral Limb Assessment. The children who received only the CI therapy demonstrated improvements in the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (p =. 04) at posttest, but improvements were not sustained at 6-month follow-up. No significant improvement was obtained for the Melbourne Assessment or the Assisting Hand Assessment. Children in both groups improved on |

Fracture of the hook of the hamate in athletes. |
Stark HH, Jobe FW, Boyes JH, Ashworth CR. |
During an eight-year period, four tennis players, seven golfers, and nine baseball players were seen with a fracture of the hook of the hamate. Eighteen of these twenty patients were disabled by pain and after the fracture fragment was removed, all eighteen were relieved so that they returned to their athletic pursuits. Two patients were asymptomatic, their old fracture being discovered accidentally when they were treated for other injuries. Nineteen of the twenty patients had been examined before coming under our care, but the correct diagnosis had been made in only two. Conservative treatment, including rest, physical therapy, and injections of steroids into the wrist and hand, had not been beneficial. From the history and findings, we believe that these fractures were caused by a direct blow against the hook of the hamate caused by the handle of the tennis racket, golf club, or bat during a swing, and not by indirect force produced by the ligaments and muscles attached to the hook. The fracture was demonstrated in all twenty patients by a roentgenogram (profile view) of the carpal tunnel. |

[Trendy sport: golf]. |
Hämel D. |
Golf is currently the most frequently played sport in the world and it will continue to grow in importance. Nevertheless, there is a striking deficit in our knowledge of the physical and psychological profile of golfers. In the foreground are not the acute but the chronic sport specific injuries, predominantly of the lumbar spine, the upper extremities (golfer's elbow and golfer's shoulder), and less commonly of the lower limbs (minor injuries to the ligaments). In addition to therapy, prophylaxis should also be used in order to better recognise and influence the sport specific burdens. |
