Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy Measurement instruments not validated for use in PHT patients to assess relevant outcomes may: impact results ⬇️ confidence to inform practice 🆕️ Review+evaluation of PHT measurement instruments mapped to outcome domains bit.ly/CoreOutcomeSet…

Not a surprising conclusion but good to see a long term AF study on female endurance athletes. Exercise benefits still >> risks.

Delighted to see this important paper from Aidan Rich & colleagues published! Its approach represents current best practice for Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy and I think its results will be hugely important in this under-researched pathology: jeo-esska.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Not a good stay for the ‘stem cell for OA’ crowd, $10K injections no better than CSI (which itself is known to be harmful for knee OA…)

Measurement of total Haemoglobin-mass can be a helpful tool in talent detection to identify young female road cyclists with the potential to reach the elite level in the future. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

...but to accurately estimate Hb mass you need to ingest carbon monoxide, some controversy on this in the last week escapecollective.com/exclusive-tour… The Real Science of Sport Podcast

My experiences have been similar. I screened a group of national/international level middle/long distance runners and they all had ankle dorsiflexion range (measured by knee to wall) measurements around 7-8cm, on the lower levels of ‘normal’ values.

The curious case of injections for lateral elbow pain (tennis elbow): injections help but there is no difference in improvement with corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP or placebo. mdpi.com/3132078

PRP causes no changes in tendon sonographic measures at 24wks vs wait and see: Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Pain, Thickness, and... : Translational Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine journals.lww.com/acsm-tj/fullte…

Featuring a paper from my PhD on proximal hamstring tendinopathy

Thanks IJSPT for publishing our clinical commentary on management of #proximalhamstringtendinopathy and I hope it's a valuable addition to the literature.
