Muscle deficits in cerebral palsy and early loss of mobility: can we learn something from our elders?

29 Sep 2009 Ambulant young people with cerebral palsy (CP) have reduced muscle volumes in their lower limbs (as low as 50% of their weight-matched typically-developing peers). Yet, they may complete a 'timed up-and-go' test at similar speeds to unaffected ... Read more...

Management and assessment of prognosis after gastrocnemius disruption in Thoroughbred foals: 28 cases (1993-2007).

29 Jun 2009 REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Few studies have evaluated the athletic prognosis of foals affected by gastrocnemius disruption. OBJECTIVE: To examine the diagnosis and management of gastrocnemius disruption in Thoroughbred (TB) foals, determine ... Read more...

Piriformis syndrome, diagnosis and treatment.

29 Jun 2009 Piriformis syndrome (PS) is an uncommon cause of sciatica that involves buttock pain referred to the leg. Diagnosis is often difficult, and it is one of exclusion due to few validated and standardized diagnostic tests. Treatment for PS has ... Read more...
