Acetabular labral tears are a common cause of hip pain, but specific diagnosis can be difficult due to limitations in current physical examination techniques and radiographic imaging. Pelvic dynamics were captured in 18 participants (10 labral tear patients) who performed single leg squats and stance exercises. Comparisons were made between the pathologic and non-pathologic legs of patients and between patients and controls. The analysis of bilateral symmetry showed significant differences in most parameters implying unique patient compensatory dynamics. Bilateral symmetry was found to be significant in detecting differences in movement patterns and may become a useful tool for clinical evaluation.

Fundoscopic Examination

Dr. Shiela Mitchell and her distinguished committee recommended in the July 1975 issue that blood pressure measurements should be a regular and routine part of every physical examination of every child over the age of 2. They recommended that any child with a blood pressure over the 95th percentile for age have a fundoscopic examination and at least one repeated blood pressure measurement and clinical evaluation within a few weeks. They stated that repeated examinations and further investigations are indicated if the blood pressure persists at or above the 95th percentile.

SummaryCongenital malformations of the canine manus and pes are infrequently reported in the veterinary literature. This includes brachydactyly which is a general term used to indicate the shortening of digits due to abnormal development of the phalanges, metacarpals, or metatarsals. This case report describes isolated brachydactyly in a one-year-old male Maremma Sheepdog affecting all of the phalanges, metacarpals, and metatarsals of digits two through five. This condition was confirmed by determining the length of each phalanx, metacarpal, and metatarsal of the affected dog as well as an unaffected littermate. The affected dog’s metacarpal, metatarsal, and phalanx lengths ranged from 50% to 77% of that of the unaffected sibling. Other abnormalities found on physical examination as well as on radiographic imaging are discussed.

Clinical neurophysiology testing primarily assesses and characterizes neurological disease. Selection of appropriate studies for the problem of an individual patient requires a careful clinical evaluation to determine possible causes of the patient’s symptoms. The approach to testing can be assisted by deciding which structures are likely to be involved. For example, motor and sensory symptoms are best assessed using the different methods of motor and sensory NCS. Deciding which neurophysiological measures to apply in peripheral disorders is sometimes assisted by applying guideline protocols based on the patient’s clinical findings and what is found during testing. Although a clinical neurophysiological assessment rarely provides evidence for a specific diagnosis, it can provide valuable information about the severity, progression, and prognosis of the disease. This chapter reviews the clinical application of neurophysiological tests, particularly nerve conduction studies and needle EMG, in the assessment of patients with a variety of neuromuscular complaints.
