Evaluating the efficacy of hinged elbow braces in reducing passive valgus forces after ulnar collateral ligament injury - A biomechanical study
This biomechanical study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a hinged elbow orthosis in reducing passive valgus forces following medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries of the elbow joint. The hypothesis tested was that a hinged elbow orthosis reduces these passive valgus forces.
7 hand exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome with pictures
Certain hand exercises can help relieve pressure on the median nerve and alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Exercises include stretches, wrist extensions, hand squeezing, and more.
Carpal Tunnel vs. Arthritis: Similarities and Differences
When your wrist or hand starts to tingle and burn, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pain, whether it’s a result of carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis. The anatomy of the hand is a tight space, and there are a lot of joints and nerves that can become swollen or pinched. Carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis are similar conditions that can both result from overuse of the wrist and hands.
What is autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI)?
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a two-step surgical procedure to restore cartilage around a joint and treat cartilage defects.
Light exercise can yield significant cognitive benefits, new research shows
Everyday physical activity, like going for a short walk or playing with the kids, may provide short-term benefits for cognitive health, equivalent to reversing four years of cognitive aging. That was a key finding for my colleagues and me in our new study, which was published in the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
