Abstract of The Week: Single-leg drop landing movement strategies in participants with chronic ankle instability compared with lateral ankle sprain ‘copers’

Abstract: Single-leg drop landing movement strategies in participants with chronic ankle instability compared with lateral ankle sprain ‘copers’. The authors of this study concluded that individuals with chronic ankle instability have alterations in their hip kinematics during single leg landing activities. This is one of my favorite topics – full lower quadrant integration. Our bodies do… Continue reading Abstract of The Week: Single-leg drop landing movement strategies in participants with chronic ankle instability compared with lateral ankle sprain ‘copers’

Abstract of the Week: Thoracic Manual Therapy For Shoulder Pain

Abstract: Thoracic manual therapy in the management of non-specific shoulder pain Objectives: “Non-specific shoulder pain (NSSP) is often persistent and disabling leading to high socioeconomic costs. Cervical manipulation has demonstrated improvements in patients with NSSP, although risks associated with thrust techniques are documented. Thoracic manual therapy (TMT) may utilise similar neurophysiological effects with less risk.… Continue reading Abstract of the Week: Thoracic Manual Therapy For Shoulder Pain
