Abstract Introduction Discerning whether range of motion (ROM) is restricted by morphology or other pain sources is challenging in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Computed tomography (CT) motion simulation provides a hypothetical ROM based on morphology. This study aimed to explore associations between ROM measured using CT motion simulation and maximum passive ROM measured clinically using three dimensional (3D) motion analysis in patients with FAIS, prior to and post arthroscopic hip surgery. Materials and methods Eight males with FAIS (in total 12 hip joints) were included in this explorative feasibility study. Participants were examined using CT according to a low-dose protocol prior to and 7-months post arthroscopic surgery. Software was used to simulate at which ROM the impingement would occur. With the hip in 90 degrees’ flexion, maximum passive range of internal hip rotation, and maximum passive internal hip rotation coupled with adduction was examined clinically using 3D motion analysis pre- and postoperatively. Spearman rank correlation coefficients and linear regressions examined associations between methods. Results Preoperatively, the correlation between maximum internal hip rotation measured using CT motion simulation and 3D motion analysis was strong (r = 0.71, p = 0.009). Linear regressions demonstrated that maximal internal rotation measured using CT motion simulation was predominantly larger than when measured using 3D motion analysis. Postoperatively, and when maximum internal rotation was coupled with adduction, no correlations were found between the two methods. Conclusions The hypothetical morphology restricted ROM is larger than clinically assessed pain restricted ROM, both prior to and post hip arthroscopy. These findings suggest that ROM is restricted by pain rather than mechanical, morphology-based impingement in individuals with FAIS.

Purpose “Children are the hidden victims of the COVID-19 pandemic” (United Nations Children's Fund, 2020). Timely and effective speech intervention is important to reduce the impact on children's school achievement, ability to make friends, mental health, future life opportunities, and government resources. Prior to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, many Australian children did not receive sufficient speech-language pathology (SLP) services due to long waiting lists in the public health system. COVID-19 restrictions exacerbated this issue, as even children who were at the top of lengthy SLP waiting lists often received limited services, particularly in rural areas. To facilitate children receiving speech intervention remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, evidence from randomized controlled trials regarding three technological solutions are examined: (a) Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter (Sound Start Study), (b) Waiting for Speech Pathology website, and (c) Apraxia World. Conclusions For the first two technological solutions, there were similar gains in speech production between the intervention and control groups, whereas, for the third solution, the average magnitude of treatment effect was comparable to face-to-face SLP therapy. Automated therapy management systems may be able to accelerate speech development and support communication resilience to counteract the effects of the COVID-19 restrictions on children with speech sound disorders. Technology-based strategies may also provide a potential solution to the chronic shortage of SLP services in rural areas into the future.

Maximal ball velocity is a significant performance indicator in many sports, such as baseball. Doppler radar guns are widely assumed to underestimate velocity. Accuracy increases as the cosine angle between the radar gun and the object decreases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of player handedness and the location of the radar gun on the accuracy of ball velocity. Throws were analyzed in four conditions: the radar gun on the right side, throwing with the right arm, then with the left arm; and the radar gun on the left side, throwing with the right arm, then with the left arm. The Cronbach’s alpha for all four conditions showed α-values above 0.97; however, a paired t-test indicated significant differences between the 3D motion analysis and the radar gun. Bland–Altman plots show a high degree of scatter in all conditions. Results suggest that the radar gun measurements can be highly inconsistent when compared to 3D motion analysis.
