“…Functional and neuromuscular tests such as heel walk and walk on toes were both possible, but the heel walk exacerbated the familiar and intense pain at the right heel (NPRS 7/10). Moreover, bilateral heel rise tests were painful (NPRS 5/10) after 20 repetitions [ 15 ], and single heel rise was extremely painful and suspended after 2 repetitions (NPRS 9/10) [ 16 ]. Manual resisted tests of the several muscles of the lower limb (plantar flexors, knee flexors, medium and gluteus maximus) pointed out unaffected strength, but palpation of biceps femoris, soleus and fibularis longus muscles were painful.…”

Haglund’s syndrome (HS) is a painful condition that is caused by an exostosis of the posterior superior part of the calcaneus coupled with Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis. Both for the proper musculoskeletal assessment and for the differential diagnosis process of possible concurrent diseases deriving from other anatomical areas, the diagnosis of HS is still a challenge. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old male amateur runner was diagnosed and treated for low back pain and referred leg pain by his general practitioner. Due to ineffective results, he self-presented to a physical therapist (PT) with intense right heel pain, radiating up to the leg and to the lumbopelvic region. Results: The PT’s examination and interview relating to the sports activities led to the correct diagnosis and a proper orthopedic referral. At the one-year follow-up, the patient reported regular pain-free marathon running. Discussion: This case report highlights the central role of PTs working in direct access environments as primary care healthcare professionals for the management of musculoskeletal diseases, and their abilities in identifying patients with suspected pathologic conditions that may need referral for imaging, medical assessment or surgical intervention.

“…Com esta altura demarcada servindo de referência ao avaliador, ao comando inicial, realizar o máximo de flexões possível, atingindo o aparato demarcador da altura máxima, até que não mais alcance a altura de referência por duas vezes consecutivas ou informe exaustão. Foi registrado o número de repetições, o tempo de execução, bem como calculada a velocidade de execução (Monteiro et al, 2017;Pereira, Oliveira, Cruz, Souza, & Cunha Filho, 2008).…”

Esse estudo comparou o efeito de dois programas de treinamento sobre a aptidão física e qualidade de vida em mulheres com Varizes, sendo um programa de condicionamento físico geral (CFG) e o outro de fortalecimento de membros inferiores (MMII) aplicado a 2 grupos de voluntárias, praticantes regulares de exercício físico, por 12 semanas. Foram coletados, pré e pós treinamento, dados de qualidade de vida, perimetria de panturrilha, goniometria do tornozelo, teste de ponta de pé e degrau. Nove mulheres do programa CFG (54 ± 18 anos) e onze do programa MMII (58 ± 8 anos) concluíram a intervenção. Comparando a magnitude de variação nos resultados de cada teste e entre os programas por teste t independente, as participantes do programa MMII apresentaram melhor desempenho nos testes de aptidão física e qualidade de vida que as do programa CFG, com diferença significativa nos resultados de resistência muscular (p < 0,01 para repetições e p = 0,02 para tempo de execução no teste de ponta de pé) e flexibilidade (p < 0,01). Concluiu-se que um programa específico de fortalecimento de membros inferiores possibilita melhores resultados em aptidão física em relação a um programa de condicionamento geral.

“…70 The third physical capacity test will be the bilateral calf-raise test. 71 This is a muscle strength and endurance test that has been used to evaluate the functional performance of older adults and those with CVD. [71][72][73][74] Initially, participants will stand barefoot and in a bipedal position facing a wall and will be supported with their dominant hand on the wall and elbow in semiflexion to maintain balance.…”

Protocol to assess the efficacy of carnosine supplementation in mitigating the adverse cardiovascular responses to particulate matter (PM) exposure: the Nucleophilic Defense Against PM Toxicity (NEAT) trial

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionExposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) is associated with cardiovascular disease. These outcomes are believed to originate from pulmonary oxidative stress and the systemic delivery of oxidised biomolecules (eg, aldehydes) generated in the lungs. Carnosine is an endogenous di-peptide (β-alanine-L-histidine) which promotes physiological homeostasis in part by conjugating to and neutralising toxic aldehydes. We hypothesise that an increase of endogenous carnosine by dietary supplementation would mitigate the adverse cardiovascular outcomes associated with PM exposure in humans.Methods and analysisTo test this, we designed the Nucleophilic Defense Against PM Toxicity trial. This trial will enroll 240 participants over 2 years and determine if carnosine supplementation mitigates the adverse effects of PM inhalation. The participants will have low levels of endogenous carnosine to facilitate identification of supplementation-specific outcomes. At enrollment, we will measure several indices of inflammation, preclinical cardiovascular disease and physical function. Participants will be randomly allocated to carnosine or placebo groups and instructed to take their oral supplement for 12 weeks with two return clinical visits and repeated assessments during times of peak PM exposure (June–September) in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Statistical modelling approaches will be used to assess the efficacy of carnosine supplementation in mitigating adverse outcomes.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Louisville. Results from this study will be disseminated at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed publications.Trial registration:NCT03314987; Pre-results
