Injury risk increases minimally over a large range of changes in activity level in children [PDF]
Background: Limited research exists on the association between changes in physical activity levels and injury in children. Objective: To assess how well different variations of the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR), a measure of change in activity, predict injury in children.

Grip Force Modulation on Median Nerve Morphology Changes
ABSTRACT Compression on the median nerve can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and median nerve indicators measured from ultrasound images can be used for CTS diagnosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between grip force modulation and dynamic morphological changes of the median nerve. We used a digital grip dynamometer to

Role of Imaging in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a treatable immune‐mediated neuropathy with a relapsing‐remitting course and symmetrical proximal and distal weakness. Diagnosis relies on nerve conduction studies (NCS) to detect demyelination but can be difficult in atypical cases.

Current concepts: Neonatal brachial plexus pals [PDF]
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy may be decreasing in incidence; however, conflicting reports exist. Regardless, neonatal brachial plexus palsy has an incidence of 1 to 2 per 1000 live births making this a frequent occurrence. The majority of infants with
