Flexor Tendon Repair with Fast-Absorbable Sutures: A Rupture Incidence-Focused Analysis of a Case Series and a Review

By

SUMMARY Hand flexor tendon repair with absorbable sutures has the advantage of leaving no foreign material within the tendon. However, clinical application of degradable materials in flexor tendon repair is limited to slow-absorbable PDS or Maxon sutures and commonly does not involve fast-absorbable sutures, probably, because of fear of ruptures. Meanwhile, a small number of … Continued

Combination of Training to Failure and Non-Failure: An Unexplored Approach of Number of Repetitions, Rate of Perceived Exertion, Time Under Tension, Volume-Load, and Muscle Swelling in Trained Individuals

By

SUMMARY Background. Previous studies suggest training to failure may not yield superior muscle responses compared to non-failure training, leaving the combined use unexplored. Objective. To compare the number of repetitions, volume-load, time under tension (TUT), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and muscle swelling between two protocols: one involving four sets to failure (TFAS) and the … Continued

Reliability and Sensitivity of Smartphone Accelerometer to Assess Postural Balance in Healthy Individuals
