Achilles Tendinosis: Treatment Options

Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery (2015)

Roberto Gabriel L. Lopez Hong-Geun Jung

Athletes usually complain of an ongoing or chronic pain over the Achilles tendon, but recently even non-athletes are experiencing the same kind of pain which affects their daily activities. Achilles tendinosis refers to a degenerative process of the tendon without histologic or clinical signs of intratendinous inflammation. Treatment is based on whether to stimulate or prevent neovascularization. Thus, until now, there is no consensus as to the best treatment for this condition. This paper aims to review the common ways of treating this condition from the conservative to the surgical options.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality in Occupational Therapy for Post-Stroke Adults: A Systematic Review

Journal of Clinical Medicine (2024)

Síbila Floriano Landim Roberto Gabriel L. Lopez Antonia Caris Constanza Castro Ramón D. Castillo

In recent years, there has been a growing use of technological advancements to enhance the rehabilitation of individuals who have suffered from cerebrovascular accidents. Virtual reality rehabilitation programs enable patients to engage in a customized therapy program while interacting with a computer-generated environment. Therefore, our goal was to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality in occupational therapy for people's rehabilitation after a cerebrovascular accident.

Physical and Physiological Demands of Experienced Male Basketball Players During a Competitive Game

The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (2016)

Carlos Puente Javier Abián‐Vicén Francisco Areces Roberto Gabriel L. Lopez Juan Del Coso

Puente, C, Abián-Vicén, J, Areces, F, López, R, and Del Coso, J. Physical and physiological demands of experienced male basketball players during a competitive game. J Strength Cond Res 31(4): 956-962, 2017-The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical and physiological demands of experienced basketball players during a real and competitive game. Twenty-five well-trained basketball players (8 guards, 8 forwards, and 9 centers) played a competitive game on an outdoor court. Instantaneous running speeds, the number of body impacts above 5 g, and the number of accelerations and decelerations were assessed by means of a 15-Hz global Positioning System accelerometer unit. Individual heart rate was also recorded using heart rate monitors. As a group mean, the basketball players covered 82.6 ± 7.8 m·min during the game with a mean heart rate of 89.8 ± 4.4% of maximal heart rate. Players covered 3 ± 3% of the total distance running at above 18 km·h and performed 0.17 ± 0.13 sprints per minute. The number of body impacts was 8.2 ± 1.8 per minute of play. The running pace of forwards was higher than that of centers (86.8 ± 6.2 vs. 76.6 ± 6.0 m·min; p ≤ 0.05). The maximal speed obtained during the game was significantly higher for guards than that for centers (24.0 ± 1.6 km·h vs. 21.3 ± 1.6 km·h; p ≤ 0.05). Centers performed a lower number of accelerations/decelerations than guards and forwards (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, the extraordinary rates of specific movements performed by these experienced basketball players indicate the high physiological demands necessary to be able to compete in this sport. The centers were the basketball players who showed lower physiological demands during a game, whereas there were no differences between guards and forwards. These results can be used by coaches to adapt basketball training programs to the specific demands of each playing position.

Proximal Reverse Chevron Metatarsal Osteotomy and Lateral Release Through 1 Medial Incision for Hallux Valgus Correction

Techniques in Foot & Ankle Surgery (2014)

Hong-Geun Jung Roberto Gabriel L. Lopez Sanghun Lee Min‐Ho Shin Joon-Sang Eom

Over 200 procedures have been described for the treatment of a hallux valgus deformity. Osteotomies have been described and have produced favorable results and reliability. For the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus, mid-shaft or proximal osteotomies are the recommended treatment plan. Distal osteotomies on the other hand are associated with high recurrence rate with lesser degree of correction, but some authors have reported considerable good results as well. Nevertheless, most surgeons perform distal soft-tissue reconstructions together with bony procedures to have better correction. The popular open release of the contracted lateral structures have resulted in good correction of the deformity, however, it leaves a cosmetic problem (dorsal operation scar) which is sometimes not acceptable to the patient. With this problem in mind, we present a technique that releases the contracted structures at the lateral side of the first metatarsophalangeal joint without the development of a scar on the dorsum of the first web space through a single incision on the medial surface of the foot. And using this same incision, a proximal reverse chevron osteotomy together with an optional Akin procedure can be performed without additional trauma to the surrounding soft tissues. Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Level 5. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
