摘要:

Sailboarding is an exciting sport, but it does involve some risk for injury. In this study of 21 knee injuries that occurred during sailboarding over a 2-year period, 12 were isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains, 4 were meniscus tears, and 5 involved joint instability. The MCL sprains were directly related to the use of the foot straps on the sailboard. Conservative treatment was successful for the MCL sprains; the meniscus tears were treated with arthroscopic surgery. Improved foot straps designed to release the foot more readily may help reduce knee injuries.

摘要:

In brief Plica syndrome of the knee—a potentially disabling condition—is caused when plicae (bands or pleats of synovial tissue) are aggravated by overuse or trauma. Symptoms include popping, clicking, effusion, swelling, pain, and Interference with normal excursion. Analysis of questionnaires from 66 patients revealed that both surgical and nonsurgical management relieved the symptoms. Plica syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of knee problems.

摘要:

In brief Exercise can be an effective form of therapy for hypertension, recent research has shown. This article reviews the possible mechanisms by which exercise lowers blood pressure and gives physicians the necessary information to counsel hypertensive patients who want to start an exercise program. Some researchers are exploring the use of exercise testing to predict the onset of hypertension.

摘要:

If running were controlled by OSHA, it probably would be banned. A runner hits the ground with a force of three to five times his or her body weight—a shock that is repeated over and over until the run ends. The type of surface can play a critical role in lessening the shock and therefore the risk of injury.
