Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Use of isokinetic techniques vs standard physiotherapy in patients with chronic low back pain. Preliminary results].
To determine if the use of an isokinetic device for trunk exercise is more effective than standard physiotherapy in promoting motor disinhibition for patients with chronic low back pain. ⋯ The non-specific benefit of one technique indicates that further studies are needed to evaluate the benefit of combining exercise techniques in chronic low back pain, in order to address the multiple factors involved in this pathology.

[A long-term follow up of the shoulder in obstetrical brachial palsy].
To study shoulder impairment and disability caused by obstetrical brachial plexus palsy, their evolution under physical and surgical treatments, and the place of complementary explorations in persistent sequels. ⋯ After-effects in shoulder are frequent especially the limitation of external rotation, which can lead to a deformation, and subluxation of the humeral head. The authors insist on the importance to push investigations in case of limitation of the passive external rotation to improve the therapeutic choice.
