“…Through the simple analysis of the motion waveforms of the two subjects, it is concluded that the motion completed by subject 1 during the knee health-monitoring period is better than that of subject 2. After the subject completes the test of the knee health monitoring system, the knee joint health monitoring results of some subjects are obtained, as shown in Table 2 [22][23][24].…”

To learn about the health care of athletes in the knee joint, real-time to monitor the health of the human knee joint according to the cloud. The system uses a depth camera to collect the data information of the human lower limb alignment and obtains the spatial coordinate position of the human lower limb alignment through deep learning; then analyzes and processes the video sequence of the human lower limb alignment, including the wavelet function decomposition of the lower limb alignment information and reconstruction, and finally, the monitoring results were obtained by the knee joint scoring method. The system has completed the design of software and hardware and realized the method of extracting the coordinate information of the main joint points of the human body based on neural network. The health monitoring algorithm finally obtained the knee joint health status of the subjects through the evaluation system. By comparing the real health status of the subjects, the reliability of this research work was verified. The experiment shows that the monitoring error of the system is less than 10%, and the overall error is only 6%. The KSS standard score of the subjects is consistent with the monitoring and evaluation of the system, and the score trend is basically the same. For the situation that the overall score of the system is lower than the KSS standard, after communication and analysis with orthopaedic experts. It is speculated that it may be due to the subjective estimation of the subjects when measuring KSS, and the system monitoring algorithm is relatively strict and more objective. It is proved that the system designed in this paper can effectively monitor the health of athletes’ knee joint.

“…This suggests that forearm length may impact the pain classification of EP patients, with a shorter forearm length being associated with lower levels of EP pain [48,49]. Therefore, based on the EP assessment scoring criteria, we recommend that EP patients with slight pain should undergo unloaded or lightly loaded upper limb strength training, such as isometric training, to improve arm muscle strength and endurance around the elbow joint, as an intervention method rather than relying solely on medication [50][51][52]. For EP patients with critical pain, they should exercise caution when selecting potential intervention methods.…”

Elbow pain (EP) in overhead sports is a common phenomenon. Swimming is classified as an overhead sport, but a lack of attention regarding EP in swimming has created a gap in the knowledge around elite freestyle swimming in Tianjin, China. The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution and prevalence of EP among elite freestyle swimmers in Tianjin, China. The methodology involved a total of 311 qualified participants who volunteered to undertake all measurements. The main findings showed that 183 of the elite freestyle swimmers in this study had EP (accounting for 58.84% of the total 311 participants), with 147 in slight pain and 36 in critical pain. The characteristics of a heavier body weight, taller height, longer left/right forearm length, and longer weekly average training hours serve as contributing factors to the occurrence of EP issues. Gender, age, weekly average training hours, and left/right forearm length are the primary factors correlating with and influencing the assessment scores. In conclusion, swimmers with longer weekly training hours, older ages, heavier bodyweight, and longer forearm lengths should receive greater attention in relation to EP. Regular assessments at a high frequency serve as a means to identify the risk of EP.

“…We set up the rehabilitation program following the evidence on the elbow rehabilitation (Fusaro et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2020; Manocha et al., 2017; Pipicelli & King, 2020; Schubert et al., 2021; Szekeres & King, 2006; Wilk & Arrigo, 2020). The elbow tends to become stiff after surgery or trauma; therefore, rehabilitation should balance the need for an early mobilisation and healing of the injured or operated tissues (Fusaro et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2020; Manocha et al., 2017; Pipicelli & King, 2020; Wilk & Arrigo, 2020). Firstly, the goals were to reduce aedema and inflammation with early recovery of range of motion (Fusaro et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2020; Manocha et al., 2017; Pipicelli & King, 2020; Schubert et al., 2021; Szekeres & King, 2006; Wilk & Arrigo, 2020).…”

Background and PurposeLateral elbow pain represents a common musculoskeletal disorder, mostly non‐specific and benign. In rare cases, it can be the first symptom of a severe disease such as Ewing's sarcoma (ES). ES is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor in the young population, with a high probability of an unfavourable prognosis.Case PresentationThis case report presents the history of a young man presenting to the physical therapist with a diagnosis of “epicondylitis” in the right elbow, which was later revealed to be an aggressive ES of the ulna. Findings raising clinical doubts were (a) constant pain even at night and not dependent on load, (b) significant loss of function, (c) patient's young age, and (d) a palpable mass in the elbow.ResultsAfter diagnosis, the patient received medical (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery) and a rehabilitation program. After treatment, the patient improved elbow function, decreased disability and returned to social participation, maintaining positive outcomes at the 2‐year follow‐up.DiscussionIn summary, this case report emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis and screening for referral of red flags in physical therapy. Moreover, it describes the rehabilitation of a patient with ES, enriching the scientific literature in the field.
