Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Joint injuries can be responsible for long-term complications such as post-traumatic osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, or pain. These traumas can occur during sports practice, work activities, or everyday life. The early management of these traumas must be optimal in order to limit the risk of disability. Thus, imaging, surgery, and rehabilitation must be at the forefront of innovation. Physical exercise allows the maintenance of joint amplitudes and muscle trophicity while having a favorable impact on the preservation of function. Multi-professional collaboration is the core of this care. Particular attention is given to high-level athletes for whom injuries are a frequent risk, with significant consequences for their career. Rehabilitation exercises may have a preventive and protective impact on joint tissue degeneration but should be precisely and rationally prescribed. However, this issue is not limited to sports-related injuries but concerns all aspect of joint, muscle, or ligament injury management from the early phase to the late phase. Papers addressing these topics are invited for submission to this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard and a practical focus on joint injury and/or rehabilitation.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Gait Alteration Due to Haemophilic Arthropathies in Patients with Moderate Haemophilia
by Alban Fouasson-Chailloux, Fabien Leboeuf, Yves Maugars, Marc Trossaert, Pierre Menu, François Rannou, Claire Vinatier, Jérome Guicheux, Raphael Gross and Marc Dauty

Abstract
Some patients with moderate haemophilia (PWMH) report joint damage potentially responsible for gait disorders. Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) is a relevant tool for the identification of complex musculoskeletal impairment. We performed an evaluation with 3DGA of 24 PWMH aged 44.3 ± 16.1 according [...] Read more.
Some patients with moderate haemophilia (PWMH) report joint damage potentially responsible for gait disorders. Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) is a relevant tool for the identification of complex musculoskeletal impairment. We performed an evaluation with 3DGA of 24 PWMH aged 44.3 ± 16.1 according to their joint status [Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) < 10 or HJHS ≥ 10] and assessed the correlation with the radiological and clinical parameters. Sixteen had HJHS < 10 (group 1) and eight had HJHS ≥ 10 (group 2). They were compared to 30 healthy subjects of a normative dataset. Both knee and ankle gait variable scores were increased in group 2 compared to the controls (p = 0.02 and p = 0.04, respectively). The PWMH of group 2 had a significant increase in their stance phase, double support duration, and stride width compared to the controls and group 1 (p < 0.01). Very low correlations were found for the ankle gait variable score with the ankle Pettersson sub-score (r2 = 0.250; p = 0.004) and ankle HJHS sub-score (r2 = 0.150; p = 0.04). For the knee, very low correlation was also found between the knee gait variable score and its HJHS sub-score (r2 = 0.290; p < 0.0001). Patients with moderate haemophilia presented a gait alteration in the case of poor lower limb joint status. Full article

MRI Bone Abnormality of the Knee following Ultrasound Therapy: Case Report and Short Review

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) therapy in sports and medical pathologies is widely used by many physiotherapists and sports medicine clinicians; however, data regarding their potential side effects remain rare.

Ultrasound (US) therapy in sports and medical pathologies is widely used by many physiotherapists and sports medicine clinicians; however, data regarding their potential side effects remain rare. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman with iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome treated with a physiotherapy session combined with US therapy. She had twenty 7 min US sessions on the knee, for 3 months (US at 1 Mhz with an intensity between 1 and 2 W/cm2). Due to persistence of the ITB syndrome’s symptomatology after the 3 months of physiotherapy sessions, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) was carried out and revealed osteonecrosis-like bone abnormalities on the external femoral condyle, the external tibial plateau, and the proximal fibula. In view of these lesions, the ultrasonic therapy was stopped, and a repeat MRI demonstrated the progressive disappearance of these imaging abnormalities one year after the last US (ultrasound) treatment. In light of this case, we propose here a short review of reported osseous “osteonecrosis” abnormalities associated with US therapies. Full article
