Limited use of virtual reality in primary care physiotherapy for patients with chronic pain BMC Musculoskelet. Disord. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Syl Slatman, J. Bart Staal, Harry van Goor, Raymond Ostelo, Remko Soer, Jesper Knoop
Chronic pain is a disabling condition which is prevalent in about 20% of the adult population. Physiotherapy is the most common non-pharmacological treatment option for chronic pain, but often demonstrates unsatisfactory outcomes. Virtual Reality (VR) may offer the opportunity to complement physiotherapy treatment. As VR has only recently been introduced in physiotherapy care, it is unknown to what

Prevalence of hip femoroacetabular impingement deformities in high-level (La Liga) male professional football players BMC Musculoskelet. Disord. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Rafael Arriaza, Miguel Saavedra-García, Alvaro Arriaza, Antonio Cruz-Cámara, Manuel Leyes, Luis Cerezal, Antonio Maestro
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is considered one of the main causes of hip osteoarthritis in young adults, especially in athletes. In recent years, morphological changes in FAI in the hip have been linked to early and intense sports participation, but studying top-level athlete samples is not easy. This paper presents the prevalence of FAI radiological markers in 120 active white male professional

Improving patients’ experiences of diagnosis and treatment of vertebral fracture: co-production of knowledge sharing resources BMC Musculoskelet. Disord. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Sarah E. Bennett, Rachael Gooberman-Hill, Emma M. Clark, Zoe Paskins, Nicola Walsh, Sarah Drew
Osteoporosis involves changes to bones that makes them prone to fracture. The most common osteoporotic fracture is vertebral, in which one or more spinal vertebrae collapse. People with vertebral fracture are at high risk of further fractures, however around two-thirds remain undiagnosed. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends bone protection therapies to reduce this
