Ultrasound-guided percutaneous barbotage is an effective treatment for rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy, providing rapid and substantial pain relief. We present the case of a 49-year-old woman with aggravated pain early after ultrasound-guided barbotage of a large calcific deposit in the supraspinatus tendon. Subsequent examination revealed a thick calcification spreading along the subacromial-subdeltoid...
This paper describes the process by which high-definition resolution (up to 1920 × 1080 pixels) ultrasound video can be captured in conjunction with high-definition video of the transducer position (picture-in-picture). In addition, we describe how to edit the recorded video feeds to combine both feeds, and to crop, resize, split, stitch, cut, annotate videos, and also change the frame rate, insert...
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) injections are commonly performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Radiation exposure to patients and providers has not been comprehensively studied, particularly the effect of body mass index (BMI).To identify whether patients with a larger BMI require longer fluoroscopy time or a larger radiation dose during performance of an SIJ injection.Retrospective study of an academic institution...
In August and September of this year, the world will turn its attention to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Of interest to physiatrists, the Paralympic Games will take place from September 7 to 18, with an estimated total of 4 billion viewers. In the United States, for the first time in history, the Summer Games will be broadcast over a total of 66 hours on...
Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is a promising intervention for stroke rehabilitation. RT hybridized with therapist-mediated therapy (eg, RT plus task-specific or impairment-oriented training) may possibly yield functionally relevant improvements. A comparative study of the different combination regimens is needed.To investigate the efficacy of RT combined with task-specific training or impairment-oriented...
Balance decreases and activities of daily living (ADLs) deteriorate in older people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA); however, little is known about the systems underlying poor balance control and how those impaired systems are related to decreased ADL.To explore which balance systems are particularly impaired and to examine the relationship between physical ADL and balance in older people with KOA...
Intra-articular hip injections are commonly performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Because of the risk of damage to neurovascular structures, fluoroscopic guidance with injection of contrast material has been established as the gold standard to ensure proper needle placement into the intra-articular space. However, fluoroscopically guided intra-articular hip injections put patients...
Muscle weakness in one or both upper limbs is common in persons with previous polio, but there is very limited knowledge how it influences daily life.To assess muscle weakness and self-perceived disability of the upper limbs in persons with late effects of polio and evaluate their association.Cross-sectional study.University hospital outpatient clinic.Twenty-eight persons (mean age 67, SD 16 years)...
Heart transplantation (HT) is the treatment of choice for many patients with end-stage heart failure who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy, but no study has looked directly into functional improvement of HT patients after an inpatient rehabilitation program.To determine functional improvement in HT patients who completed an inpatient rehabilitation program.Retrospective study.An inpatient...
