  • Normal Hip Range of Motion

    Range of motion (ROM) is a measurement of the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential.

    Continuous passive motion (CPM) has been an accepted method of orthopedic postoperative rehabilitation for decades. However, its efficacy remains disputed and there is a paucity of literature looking at the impact of CPM after operative management of elbow heterotopic ossification (HO). This retrospective study aims to compare long-term clinical outcomes after surgical excision of elbow HO between patients with and without postoperative CPM.

  • 7 Bunion Exercises to Reduce Pain and Pressure

    Bunion exercises can ease the pain caused by bunions, a painful toe joint deformity. You develop a bunion when pressure pushes the big toe toward the second toe. When the top of the toe moves, it forces the bone in the joint at the base of the toe to shift outward. As the bone shifts, it causes a lump on the side of your foot. Without treatment, bunions gradually enlarge and become inflamed.
