To determine whether surgical management is more effective than conservative management in reducing the incidence of re rupture in adult patients with Achilles’ tendon rupture. Materials and methods. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, including ten clinical trials that compared surgical management versus conservative management. Data were extracted and analyzed to compare the efficacy of both approaches in the incidence of re-rupture of the Achilles tendon and secondary outcomes: short-and long-term functional outcome, presence of chronic pain, and adverse effects (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). Results. The incidence of re rupture in the surgical management group was 65% lower than in the conservative management group (RR 0.35; 95%CI 0.20-0.62). As for short-term functional outcome, there were no statistically significant results (MD 1.22; 95%CI -1.62 to 4.05). The mean long-term functional outcome in the surgical management group was 0.72 standard deviations higher (MD 0.72; 95%CI 0.37-1.08). The probability of developing chronic pain in the surgical management group is 68% higher than in the conservative management group (RR 1.68; 95%CI 1.09-2.59). The probability of developing pulmonary embolism and developing deep vein thrombosis did not have statistically significant results (RR 2.75; 95%CI 0.31-24.75) (RR 0.71; 95%CI 0.23-2.23). Conclusions. Surgical management is more effective in reducing the incidence of Achilles tendon re-rupture, presents a lower long-term functional result. However, increase the probability of presenting chronic pain compared with conservative management.","PeriodicalId":517657,"journal":{"name":"Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140399798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a degeneration of the plantar fascia. There are different forms of treatment for PF. Conservative treatment stands out as the main method of choice. The aim was to review in the literature the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise (TE) on pain and functionality in PF. Methods. The search was carried out in the databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Lilacs, and in the gray literature: Google Scholar, Open Grey, LIVIVO and Brazilian Library of Theses and Dissertations. A Cochrane tool was used to assess the quality of the studies. The primary outcome was pain, and the secondary outcomes were range of motion (ROM) and functionality. The assessments were performed by two reviewers and a third reviewer resolved conflicts. Randomized controlled trials using therapeutic exercise compared with placebo, no treatment, phototherapy, ther-motherapy, and electrotherapy. There was no restriction on time or language. Results. The references of 2,984 studies were identified, 2,832 from major databases and 152 from gray literature . A total of 10 articles were included in this review. Nine studies assessed pain, and all had positive results in decreasing pain levels. All 10 studies used to stretch exercises, but only one used strengthening exercises. Conclusions. It is concluded that TE, mainly through plantar fascia and triceps sural stretching, is effective in reducing pain and functionality when associated with other therapies in PF. Study registration.

The aim of this study was to systematically review current literature on the effectiveness of various exercises and modifications on thickness and electrical activity of abdominal muscles using ultrasonography and electromyography in healthy adults. Methods. An electronic search was carried out on PubMed, Web of science, ProQuest, Google Scholar, Cochrane and Science Direct databases covering published studies from inception until December 2022. Fourteen papers were then included according to following inclusion criteria: 1) studies assessing abdominal exercises; 2) containing control and intervention groups; 3) conducted on young and healthy samples; 4) full texts being available in English; 5) containing the analysis of at least one of the four abdominal muscles through electromyography or ultrasonography. Results. The main findings would suggest that stability challenges, rotatory exercise, combination of upper and lower limb movements, sensory cueing and grunting techniques such as Ki-hap make significant improvements in muscle structure and activity. Conclusions. Despite the averagely fair quality of included papers and difficulty to reach a conclusion with inadequate data, our review suggests that new modifications of both traditional and core exercises can cause improvements in abdominal muscle thickness or activity with the aim of focusing on control and coordination of muscles.
