Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness
Study Overview This study introduces a novel assessment tool aimed at differentiating between functional and structural weakness in shoulder rotation. The significance of this research lies in its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment plans for individuals experiencing shoulder impairments. The primary goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of the shoulder rotation test as… Read more: Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness
Decoding pain in axial spondyloarthritis: Mechanisms, management, and future directions
Understanding Pain Mechanisms The experience of pain in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is complex and multifaceted, influenced by various biological and psychological factors. Central to understanding this pain is the interplay between inflammatory processes and central nervous system responses. Inflammation associated with axSpA primarily affects the sacroiliac joints and spine, leading to structural changes and mechanical… Read more: Decoding pain in axial spondyloarthritis: Mechanisms, management, and future directions
Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness
Test Rationale The ability to distinguish between functional and structural weakness in shoulder rotation is critical for developing effective rehabilitation strategies. Functional weakness refers to a decline in muscle performance that is often related to the coordination or activation patterns during shoulder movements, while structural weakness is associated with underlying anatomical or physiological impairments in… Read more: Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness
Postural Control Deficits in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy Undergoing Immunomodulatory Therapy
Postural Control Assessment The evaluation of postural control in patients with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a critical aspect of understanding the functional impairments associated with this condition. Postural control refers to the ability to maintain balance and stability while standing or moving, which is influenced by the interplay of sensory input, motor responses,… Read more: Postural Control Deficits in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy Undergoing Immunomodulatory Therapy
Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Patient Quality of Life Assessment Quality of life assessments in patients with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) are essential for understanding the full impact of the disease and its treatment on individuals’ daily lives. These assessments typically encompass various dimensions, including physical, emotional, and social well-being. The multidimensionality of quality of life is recognized worldwide,… Read more: Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

Mental Health and Perceived Cognitive Decline in Former Elite Rugby League Players With Life Interference Due to Chronic Pain
CONCLUSIONS: Pain-related life interference is associated with worse mental health, perceived cognitive decline, and reduced resilience in former elite athletes. These findings support the need for holistic and targeted interventions.
The association between concussion and autonomic nervous system responses to a cognitive stressor
Objective: Investigate the association between concussion and reactivity of cardiovascular, salivary, and electrodermal indicators of autonomic nervous system (ANS) function in the context of cognitive stress. Method: Individuals (N = 37) with concussion were prospectively recruited from a level 1 trauma center emergency department, along with 23 uninjured community controls (UC). Participants were assessed twice […]
Making Decisions in Context in Post-9/11 Veterans with Comorbid Chronic Blast Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
CONCLUSIONS: Veterans an average of 4.0 years after blast injury who had active PTSD (mTBI + PTSD) did not incorporate contextual information when making their decisions. Because understanding context is required in many everyday activities, if findings replicate in studies with larger samples, clinical testing for DM difficulties and training for context incorporation may improve […]
Psychosocial outcomes in young adults with childhood traumatic brain injury: A 20-year follow-up study
We assessed the proportion of childhood TBI survivors who experienced favourable or less favourable psychosocial outcomes (defined as less favourable when 20% or more of the sample report difficulties or unmet needs) compared to controls and to explore factors associated with these outcomes at 20 years post-TBI. Participants included 54 young adults (age 22-34 years) […]
Re-establishing and refining baseline neuropsychological test data among professional hockey players: part 2 regression-based adjustment of neuropsychological norms in professional hockey
CONCLUSION: Regression modeling allows for a more precise calculation of normative data in professional hockey. This approach may be more sensitive to subtle changes in cognitive functioning by accounting for baseline cognition, estimated premorbid abilities, and English language proficiency/acculturation.
