RECOVERY EVALUATION FOLLOWING OVERUSE RUNNING INJURIES.
… exercise, but 50% of runners will suffer an overuse injury. Identifying injury etiology is of importance for clinicians to provide evidence based practice. Interestingly, there is a paucity of biomechanical, physiological, or psychological data on the condition of injured runners. It could be …

Association between Overuse Injury and Biomechanics in Distance Runners
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the association of gait kinematic and kinetic, anthropometric and muscular strength variables with injury frequency in distance runners. We hypothesize that frequency of injury will influence a discrete set of kinematic, kinetic, …

Genetic risk factors for overuse and acute musculoskeletal injuries
… associated in some studies investigating other overuse musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries, none of the investigated collagen variants were independently associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) or supraspinatus tendinopathy (SST) risk (Chapter 4). A novel finding of this thesis was that …

Overuse of 3 Common Tests in the Elderly: Primary Care Physician (PCP) Variation, Associated Physician Characteristics, and Correlation of Overuse of Tests Within Physicians
Overuse of tests in the elderly is a nationwide problem that leads to patient harm. Some of the most commonly ordered tests are overused even though specific guidelines have been published and appropriately disseminated. Previous work has evaluated national, regional, state, levels of overuse but …

The oblique effect as a measure of digital media overuse
<p>The oblique effect noted by an evolutionary bias toward 0° and 90° contours over oblique reflects the statistical distribution of contours in the visual environment such that there is more neural representation in the visual cortex (area V1) for horizontal and vertical (anisotropic) contours …

Factors Associated with Medication-Overuse Headache in Patients Seeking Treatment for Primary Headache
Although a number of risk factors for medication-overuse headache (MOH) have been identified within the general population, limited research exists examining clinical samples of headache sufferers. Further, prior studies have not assessed the relative influence of risk factors or their utility in …

A Bronchiolitis Study: The Overuse of Bronchiolitis Therapies in Children Admitted into the Hospital
<p>Bronchiolitis is prevalent among infants of 0 to 12 months, and usually caused by a variation of viruses. Signs and symptoms consist of coughing, rapid breathing, and an occasional fever in some infants. Bronchiolitis is not treated with antibiotics, but rather with proper medical examination …

Codeine, heightened pain sensitivity and medication overuse headache: a neuroimmune hypothesis and novel treatment strategy.
… increased pain sensitivity; such as medication overuse headache and opioid-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia. Despite the clinical impact of medication overuse headache the pathophysiology behind this disorder remains unclear and mechanism-based treatments are lacking. Although most acute …

Internal and external load measures as predictors of overuse injury risk in professional football players
… being underprepared and may increase the risk of overuse injuries. Determining an optimal training load that improves performance and decreases the risk of overuse injuries is important. Therefore, monitoring and understanding individual responses to training loads are necessary. To date there is …

The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation
Background: Running related injuries are influenced by a complex interaction between multiple factors. Running kinematic patterns represent one such factor which will influence the load applied to musculoskeletal structures during each foot contact of a run. When combined with an increase in …

Decreasing Antibiotic Overuse in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections Through an Educational Intervention Aimed at Nurse Practitioners
… world health organization states that antibiotic overuse is becoming a growing problem worldwide. Numerous studies have been completed targeting physicians and patients, but no long term decrease in antibiotic prescribing has been seen. As the number and role of nurse practitioners increase, this …

Identifying the Impact of Injury Definition and Training Load on the Study of Jumper’s Knee
… injuries. Volleyball has been found to have more overuse than acute injuries, yet the majority of research to date has failed to utilize an injury definition sensitive enough to capture the true frequency and burden of overuse problems. Furthermore, the mechanism of overuse injuries is believed to …
