JOURNAL ARTICLE
Andrew Parks, Mohsen Kazemi, David Frost, Samuel J Howarth
The Beighton Score (BS) is a tool that dichotomizes those who have generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) and those who do not. Unfortunately, the BS is often used in populations that it was not originally developed for, including athletes for screening purposes. The construct validity of the BS remains unknown in this population. This secondary analysis investigated the construct validity of the BS by comparing varsity athletes' passive shoulder and hip ranges of motion (ROMs) to their respective BS and individual forward bend tests (FBTs)...

Distal radius fractures are a common sports injury, often managed with reduction, immobilization, and rehabilitation. However, structured sport specific return to play protocols have yet to be developed, specifically within hockey. This case report reviews the various factors to consider when managing an athlete's recovery from a radius fracture, and objective measures to aid with return to play decision making when managing a hockey player.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

A case of anteromedial leg pain diagnosed and treated for 10 years as "shin splints" (medial tibial stress syndrome) is described. A history and examination was performed focused on anatomy, biomechanics, and peripheral nerves. Detailed sensory testing was performed in the painful area, and imaging was obtained to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical investigation was consistent with dynamic stenosis of the left L4-5 intervertebral foramen, causing a mixed partial mononeuropathy of the L4 spinal nerve that presented as pain and hypersensitivity in the anteromedial shin...

BACKGROUND: Physical activity and exercise (PAE) counselling and exercise prescriptions increase patient physical activity. However, the perceptions/practices of chiropractors are poorly understood. METHODS: We surveyed the practices among chiropractors working in Canada (n=50) and Internationally (n=37). Chiropractors completed self-reflection questionnaires regarding their current practices and perceptions towards providing PAE counselling to patients. Chiropractor responses were obtained via Canadian provincial survey and educational workshops...

BACKGROUND: Distal bimelic amyotrophy (DBMA) also known as Hirayama disease, is a rare, self-limiting motor neuron disease manifesting as atrophy of C7-T1 innervated muscles. We present a case report describing the chiropractic management of neck and thoracic pain in a patient with known DBMA. CASE PRESENTATION: A 30 year-old black male U.S. veteran with DBMA presented with myofascial pain of the neck, shoulder, and back. A trial of chiropractic care was undertaken involving spinal manipulation of the thoracic spine and cervicothoracic region, manual and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, and home exercise prescription...

Nerve entrapments in the lower extremity are rare and can be difficult to diagnose. Here we describe a Canadian Armed Forces veteran with left posterior-lateral calf pain. The patient's condition was previously misdiagnosed as a left-sided mid-substance Achilles tendinosis, which subsequently led to mismanagement, persistent pain and severe functional limitations. After performing a thorough evaluation, we diagnosed the patient with chronic left-sided sural neuropathy secondary to entrapment within the gastrocnemius fascia...
