Shared care: step down or step up?

ormal " shared care " in cancer remains controversial. It is promoted as offering patients care closer to home while, at the same time, reducing the burden on specialist services. Primary care practitioners are divided on the issue, some viewing shared care as enhancing their practice and others as another example of hospitals offloading work onto an already overloaded primary care sector.

Increasing running step rate reduces patellofemoral joint forces.

PURPOSE Increasing step rate has been shown to elicit changes in joint kinematics and kinetics during running, and it has been suggested as a possible rehabilitation strategy for runners with patellofemoral pain. The purpose of this study was to determine how altering step rate affects internal muscle forces and patellofemoral joint loads, and then to determine what kinematic and kinetic factor...
