Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.1K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Desmosomes

8.6K
The term desmosome derives from the Greek words "desmo" and "soma" meaning "adhesion bodies." This structure was first observed during the late 1800s and described as small, dense nodules in the epidermis. Desmosomes are button-like structures that help form an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across the cells. These junctions are  essential to hold cells together under mechanical stress and to maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are multi-protein...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Children with symbrachydactyly actively participate in sports and rarely find their condition limits them. Sports-related injuries in this group are comparable to the general pediatric population, highlighting the safety and benefits of athletic engagement.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Congenital Hand Differences

Background:

  • Limited research exists on sports participation for children with symbrachydactyly or congenital hand differences.
  • Understanding participation, injury rates, and perceived abilities is crucial for promoting physical activity in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess sports participation, injury incidence, and perceived abilities in children diagnosed with symbrachydactyly.
  • To compare these outcomes with published norms for the general pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center, cross-sectional survey study involving 35 children (ages 6-18) with symbrachydactyly.
  • Participants completed surveys on sport participation, injuries, inclusivity, and standardized PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) and ABILHAND questionnaires.
  • Data were compared with established norms for age-matched peers.

Main Results:

  • 100% of participants engaged in sports, with 85.7% currently active; soccer was the most common sport.
  • 80% reported no limitation due to their condition, and injury incidence (34.3%) was similar to the general pediatric population.
  • Level of limb deficiency correlated with injury risk (P=0.03), but not with sports participation.

Conclusions:

  • Children with symbrachydactyly demonstrate high rates of sports participation, with most not feeling limited by their condition.
  • Sports-related injury rates are comparable to those in the general pediatric population.
  • Future research should expand sample size, geographic scope, and include psychosocial outcome measures.
