摘要:

In briefFour forms of electrical stimulation are clinically useful in the rehabilitation of injured athletes. These forms differ mainly in the way they combine the parameters of wave form, frequency, pulse width, and amplitude. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation provides effective relief of both acute and chronic pain. High-voltage pulsed galvanic stimulation has several treatment indications, including pain, swelling, tissue injury, and infection. Interferential electrical stimulation is used for muscle relaxation, analgesia, and to promote soft-tissue healing. Minimal electrical noninvasive stimulation is purported to facilitate tissue healing. Electrical stimulation should be used In concert with other modalities for a complete rehabilitation program.

摘要:

In briefInjuries of the tarsometatarsal joint complex, though not common in athletes, can cause prolonged disability. The severity of these injuries often is not recognized, since subtle subluxations are difficult to diagnose. Certain radiographic signs help make the diagnosis; fluoroscopy with anesthesia may be necessary to determine the stability of the joint. Casting is sufficient for patients who have stable injuries, but those who have an unstable joint require open reduction and internal fixation.

摘要:

In briefThe most useful way to classify carbohydrate food for active people is by its ability to raise blood glucose concentration. To hasten recovery after intense training, athletes should consume at least 50 g of high- or moderate-glycemic carbohydrates as soon after exercise as is practical. They should eat at least an additional 50 g every 2 hours until they eat a large meal. To obtain the recommended 70% of calories from carbohydrate, athletes may find it helpful to determine how many 50-g carbohydrate food portions they need to eat daily.

摘要:

In briefPhysical activity has both preventive and therapeutic benefits for the frail elderly, and the ultimate goal is improved quality of life. The greatest impact on functional capacity comes from physiologic changes that affect mobility. Walking programs and flexibility and strength training can prevent muscle weakness and impaired gait and balance, which are risk factors for falls in the elderly. In addition, changes in functional capacity can result in greater independence in daily living. Physical activity also provides therapeutic benefits for patients who have arthritis or dementia.

摘要:

In briefMuch about the treatment of lacerations is the same in all active patients: close inspection, thorough debridement, proper skin approximation and suturing, and protection against reinjury. Some aspects of care, however, differ depending on the extent of the injury, the anatomic site, and the patient's desire or need to return to athletics quickly. This article outlines a systematic approach to diagnosis and management of these common sports injuries.

摘要:

Many psychological barriers keep overweight people from being physically active. Too often, these patients think being large and being athletic simply don't mix. But with the right approach, physicians can help sedentary overweight patients overcome barriers and start enjoying the many benefits that regular exercise offers—regardless of whether the patients lose weight.

摘要:

Like other physicians, radiologists experienced with athletes and their injuries can use their expertise to get to the most specific diagnosis. But finding a sports-wise radiologist is only half the game. The other half is learning to communicate diagnostic suspicions—and then working with the radiologist to correlate suspicions with the images themselves.

摘要:

Although more women physicians are practicing sports medicine than ever before, men still outnumber women. Why the discrepancy? Is it a lack of interest or a lack of opportunities? Despite the existing gender gap, women physicians are an increasing presence in sports medicine.
