Stress Fracture Case Study Wins Honors at APTA Sports Section Ceremony
Michael Voight, editor, and Barb Hoogenboom, associate editor, of the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy (far left) present the 2015 International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy Best Case Study award to former assistant professor Dr. Karin Grävare Silbernagel (second from left) and associate professor of physical therapy Dr. Lisa Hoglund (right) at the Sports Section Awards Ceremony of the 2016 Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association in Anaheim, Calif. on February 18, 2016.
More and more diagnostic ultrasound imaging is being used by physical therapists to guide rehabilitation. Case in point: a 52-year-old female runner with lower leg pain went to her physical therapist for treatment. As part of the examination, the physical therapist used diagnostic ultrasound imaging, combined with a physical exam, running history, and symptoms to reveal a suspected fibular stress fracture and referred the patient to a physician.
The case study submitted by associate professor of physical therapy Dr. Lisa Hoglund and former assistant professor Dr. Karin Grävare Silbernagel (along with the Rothman Institute’s Dr. Nicholas R. Taweel) to the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy earned a 2015 International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy Best Case Study award at the 2016 Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).
Presented at the Sports Section Awards Ceremony in Anaheim, Calif., on Feb. 18, 2016, the award was based on the article “Distal fibular stress fracture in a female recreational runner: a case report with musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging findings” and published in the peer-reviewed journal in December 2015 (Int J Sports Phys Ther.2015; 10(7):1050-1058).
Dr. Hoglund’s award was just one highlight from the 2016 Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association. In addition to numerous USciences faculty and alumni presentations, 29 current students from the class of 2016 were in attendance as well as a host of alumni.
