Strength measurement and clinical outcome after pulley ruptures in climbers

Article Abstract:

Ruptures of the finger flexor pulleys are the most frequent injuries in rock climbers, giving rise to the question of the clinical outcome or a persisting finger strength deficit after conservative therapy. Results of a study indicate the initial strength deficit that can be observed immediately after a pulley rupture would resolve with time under conservative therapy and the climber would regain his sport-specific performance level and have a good clinical and functional outcome.

Minnesota leisure time activity questionnaire and doubly labeled water in adolescents

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted of a sample of Swedish 15 yr old adolescents to validate the total energy expenditure (TEE) estimated from the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (MLTPAQ) with the TEE measured by doubly labeled water (DLW). It concluded that MLTPAQ correlated well with TEE from DLW in adolescents, and inclusion of information about inactivity time increased the correlation.
