Endurance Exercise and Arrhythmia: It’s Time to Believe

John M. Mandrola, MD DisclosuresJune 24, 2013 The idea that long-term endurance exercise increases the risk for arrhythmia should no longer be considered counterintuitive. The list of published studies confirming this association is long, and this week, it got a little longer. In a study published in the European Heart Journal,[1] researchers from Sweden report a cohort study of […]

Reliability and Group Differences in Quantitative Cervicothoracic Measures Among Individuals With and Without Chronic Neck Pain

Bahar Shahidi, Cynthia L Johnson, Douglas Curran-Everett, Katrina S MalufDisclosures BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2012;13(215) ABSTRACT Background: Clinicians frequently rely on subjective categorization of impairments in mobility, strength, and endurance for clinical decision-making; however, these assessments are often unreliable and lack sensitivity to change. The objective of this study was to determine the inter-rater reliability, minimum […]
