Hi im just wondering how i would get my hands on these results that are published as listed below, if anyone has a copy or knows where i can find the info it would be much appreciated.

Kulig and her colleagues published their most recent results in Foot & Ankle International (Sept. 2009) and Physical Therapy (Jan. 2009).

Researchers at USC have developed a resistive exercise program for stage 1 or 2 PTTD that shows particular promise. According to Kornelia Kulig, PT, PhD, an associate professor of clinical physical therapy at the university, the approach involves hip extension and abduction exercises as well as eccentric exercises of the foot and ankle. For the research, she and her colleagues developed an apparatus that guides the foot as it resists movement toward abduction, but a resistive exercise band can do the job clinically.
“We think the eccentric loading allows better tendon remodeling,” she said. “If the musculo-tendinous unit undergoes eccentric loading, the muscle is less active, and the torque is produced by the tendon and connective issue.”
Kulig and her colleagues published their most recent results in Foot & Ankle International (Sept. 2009) and Physical Therapy (Jan. 2009). Although study subjects’ symptoms improved, their tendon morphology did not, and the researchers continue to investigate why.
“The message to both the patient and the practitioner is that even though they feel better, the [pathological] changes are still there,” Kulig said. “They shouldn’t abandon self-care.”

Sorry should have added that the original info was taken from this article

Give us the full references and I'm sure one of us can get them for you

Hi Ian This is the only info i have for some reason there are no references listed at the bottom.

 

This is still enough info to find them with bluefish - I just did.

 

@ IAN. thanks so much Ian that was so fast how how did you find them? what was your process ?.
i am new to searching for Research publications and the like.

 

1. Googled 'Foot and Ankle International'
2. Clicked to go to journals webpage
3. Clicked on 'search journal' link
4. Typed 'Kulig' in author box and '2009' in date box
5. Found article
6. Repeat 1-5 for 'Physical Therapy' journal

 

:bash:

was it this site http://www.datatrace.com/medical/FAI_body.htm
i got a bit lost

thanks very much for taking the time to help a noob like me.

 

Thats the badger.

On this page: http://www.datatrace.com/e-chemtracts/emailurl.html?http://www.newslettersonline.com/user/user.fas/s=563/fp=20/tp=37?T=open_non_issue,5167,3&P=keyword_search_input you can find any article published in FAI if you have the year and the first authors name.

Same goes for this page with PT journal: http://ptjournal.apta.org/search

All journals will have a web page and search facility - always a good starting point if you know what you are looking for

 

Give a man Journal and you will feed his knowledge for a day, teach a man to search for Journals and you will feed his knowledge for a lifetime
