Diagnosis of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction: Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperpnoea Challenges
by Hallie Labrador, Marc Harwood in Sports Medicine Research (SMR): In the Lab & In the Field
xercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) is an obstruction of transient airflow that usually occurs 5-15 minutes after exercise. Although the previously reported incidence of EIB has been around 20%, the authors of this manuscript believe that (EIB) may be more prevalent than clinicians think and should be screened for. The purpose of this study was to use a eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation (EVH) challenge as a surrogate for exercise to screen elite British athletes for EIB.... Read more »

Is Exercise Just as Effective as Surgery for Degenerative Meniscal Tears?
by Kris Fayock, MD and Peter Vitanzo, MD in Sports Medicine Research (SMR): In the Lab & In the Field
Middle-aged patients with knee pain and impaired knee function of unclear cause often get magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of their knee that shows a meniscal tear. Treatment of non-traumatic, degenerative medial meniscal tears is controversial, particularly in patients with underlying arthritic changes of the knee. It poses the question of whether or not conservative treatment (rest, NSAID’s, physical therapy, injection therapy, etc) versus arthroscopic surgery right away is more appropri........ Read more »

Clinical Rotation Tests for Evaluating ACL Insufficiency
by Nicole Cattano in Sports Medicine Research (SMR): In the Lab & In the Field
Evaluations of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears include a battery of clinical tests, including Lachman’s, anterior drawer, and pivot shift test. The pivot shift test is often cited as being able to assess the integrity of the ACL due to its ability to test both the anterior translation and rotational stability of the knee, as well as its ability to reproduce the common symptoms of “giving way.” However, it is difficult to objectively measure the results of this test. T........ Read more »
