Observational Scapular Dyskinesis: Known-Groups Validity in Patients With and Without Shoulder Pain.
Study Design Cross-sectional. Background The scapular dyskinesis test (SDT) has demonstrated reliability and validity, but its utility for clinical decision making is unclear. Objectives To characterize the prevalence of scapular dyskinesis in participants with and without shoulder pain, and to determine the influence of blinding to the presence of shoulder pain on prevalence of scapular dyskinesis. ⋯ Level of Evidence Diagnosis, level 4. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2017;47(8):530-537. Epub 6 Jul 2017. doi:10.2519/jospt.2017.7268.

A 24-year-old woman fell while ice climbing and landed on her left foot. Radiographs were taken and read as noncontributory. ⋯ The physician ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a left mildly displaced fracture of the intra-articular lateral process of the talus.

Controlled Clinical TrialSound-Intensity Feedback During Running Reduces Loading Rates and Impact Peak.
Study Design Controlled laboratory study, within-session design. Background Gait retraining has been proposed as an effective intervention to reduce impact loading in runners at risk of stress fractures. Interventions that can be easily implemented in the clinic are needed. ⋯ Decreases in loading were of comparable magnitude to those observed in other gait retraining methods.
