contents ADVANCE FoR PHYsICAl tHERAPY & REHAB MEDICINE Vol. [CoVER stoRY] 12 Running Right A speedy recovery for runners, like all athletes, is paramount. This fact underscores the need to appropriately identify the nature of the problem from a biomechanical standpoint and everything contributing to it. Beyond the specific injury, adjacent structures need to be assessed and treated. Patient education about factors such as training routines, early injury recognition, footwear and overall conditioning needs to be a substantial part of any treatment plan. This will minimize recovery time and maximize efforts for preventing future running injuries. (Kyle Kielinski) [FEAtuRED ARtIClEs] 16 Mechanics of Foot Drop Conditions Foot drop refers to the downward point of toes from a plantar flexed ankle resulting from weakness or contracture around the ankle joint. Management of foot drop focuses on limiting the impact on gait and preventing damage to the bones and soft tissue of the foot. Another goal is decreasing the risk of falls. This is accomplished using an exercise program and orthotics. 4 ADVANCE for Physical Therapy & Rehab Medicine 20 Lasers: Photobiology and Living Tissue Photobiology is the study of how light interacts with living tissue. Light interacts with the cells in our retinas and skin, and we now know that it can interact in positive ways with every cell. While surgical lasers are now commonplace in the U.S. medical community, low-level therapeutic lasers are a distinctly different tool. Scientists are developing a picture of how low-level lasers work on tissues. 23 | No. 16 | August 6, 2012 28 Aquatics: Confidence for Patients With Brain Injury Aquatic therapy has roots dating back to the days of the Grecian empire. Hippocrates applied water healing techniques, finding its properties ideal for patients who had difficulty exercising on land. Water’s resistance qualities helped orthopedic patients improve flexibility, strength and muscle tone. These principles apply to treating patients with acquired brain injuries.
