2. 1. The look of lameness - Behaviors and facial expressions associated with orthopedic pain in horses

   Author : Katrina Ask; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : There are increasing concerns about equine welfare in equestrian sports, where early detection of orthopedic pain remains a major challenge since reliable and valid pain assessment tools are lacking. Movement asymmetry may be present in horses perceived as free from lameness by their owners, as well as in horses with confirmed orthopedic pain. READ MORE

4. 2. The patellar tendon in junior elite volleyball players and an Olympic elite weightlifter

   Author : Karl Gisslén; Håkan Alfredson; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; jumper’s knee; patellar tendinopathy; chronic pain; ultrasonography; doppler; neovascularisation; volleyball; weightlifting; Medicine; Medicin; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   Abstract : The principal aim of the present thesis was to prospectively follow (clinical status and ultrasound + Doppler findings) the patellar tendons in the young elite volleyball players at the Swedish National Centre for high school volleyball in Falköping. In an Olympic weightlifter with chronic painful jumper´s knee, the effects of treatment with sclerosing injections followed by early instituted very heavy weightlifting training, was also evaluated.
