Article Abstract
Background: Home exercise is important for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS). Although studies on telerehabilitation to increase compliance and accuracy of home exercise are increasing in various musculoskeletal conditions, there are few studies on ACS.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR)-based asynchronous telerehabilitation using UNICARE Home+ versus conventional home exercise in participants with ACS.
Methods: One hundred participants with unilateral ACS were recruited and randomly assigned to telerehabilitation group (TR group) and conventional rehabilitation group (CR group). All participants, regardless of group, received the same hospital-based physical therapy once or twice for at least 3 months, plus an additional 3 months of home exercise. The TR group performed home exercises with an asynchronous telerehabilitation system, and the CR group performed home exercises with brochures. The primary outcome was the changes in the passive range of motion (PROM) of the affected shoulder joint between baseline and 3 months. The secondary outcomes were active ROM (AROM), shoulder pain measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), European Quality of Life Five Dimensions Five Level Scale (EQ-5D-5L), and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) at the 6 assessment points: at baseline, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4.5- and 6-month.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in baseline PROM and 3-month PROM between the 2 groups. From baseline to 6 months, all PROM, all AROM, NRS, SPADI, COPM, SF-36 and EQ-5D-5L were significantly improved over time within each group in both groups (all P<0.001). However, there was no significant Group×Time interaction in any outcome, which means that the effect of time did not depend on which group the participants belonged to.
Conclusion: AR and Kinect sensor-based telerehabilitation for participants with ACS improved shoulder pain, functional outcomes, and quality of life, but did not show superiority over conventional rehabilitation.

Jockeys endure considerable physical and psychological demands, rendering them vulnerable to occupational injuries such as fractures, concussions, and soft tissue damage. This descriptive case series presents the medical and occupational histories of three professional jockeys with long-term disabilities following work-related accidents. Each individual commenced their jockey career in early adolescence.

Case: A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic, left-sided trochanteric bursitis, unresponsive to conservative treatments including intensive physiotherapy, local and systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, and neuromodulation. A novel surgical approach was used, involving an adducting trochanteric closing wedge osteotomy to reduce the lateral prominence of the greater trochanter without relevantly affecting the abductor lever arm. The procedure resulted in substantial symptom relief, with excellent functional outcomes.

Abstract: The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a rare closed degloving injury resulting from traumatic shearing forces that separate subcutaneous tissue from underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with blood, lymph, and inflammatory exudate. Typically occurring in regions where skin can glide significantly over rigid structures, such as the thigh, MLLs present as fluctuant, boggy, sometimes painful lesions, which result from disrupted lymphatic and vascular structures. The lesion evolves through an inflammatory cascade leading to eventual encapsulation by dense fibrotic tissue.

Background: Chronic degenerative shoulder pain, often due to adhesive capsulitis or osteoarthritis, is challenging to treat. Total shoulder arthroplasty is an option when conservative treatment fails to alleviate symptoms, but many patients are unsuitable surgical candidates and require alternative treatment plans.
Case Report: This case report presents a successful treatment approach combining coracohumeral ligament release and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS).
