Injured horses require up to a year of rest for recovery and likelihood of re-injury upon return to normal activity is as high as 80 %. Tendon healing requires (a) production of collagen by fibroblasts, to provide tensile strength and elasticity to the tendon, (b) minimisation of restrictive fibrosis, which compromises tendon gliding function and (c) minimisation of peritendinous adhesions.

Abstract:
Surgery-induced brain injury (SBI) refers to trauma caused by routine neurosurgical procedures that may result in post-operative complications and neurological deficits. Unlike accidental trauma, SBI is potentially subject to preemptive interventions at the time of surgery. SBI can cause bleeding, inflammation and the formation of tissue gaps. Conventional haemostatic techniques, though effective, are not necessarily conducive to healing. Inflammation and the absence of extracellular matrix in tissue gaps also hinder regeneration after SBI. This study investigated the applications of RADA16-I,

Mini-dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2012.<br>Purpose: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a common condition in all age groups, with a multifactorial etiology. This study aimed to investigate the association between the Quadriceps femoris muscle group, Hamstring muscle group and Adductor muscle group, and to establish the relationship between myofascial trigger points (MFTP’s) in these muscle groups and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2013.<br>Background : It has become practically impossible for practitioners to remain current with clinical developments. Additionally the demand from patients and third party payors for quality evidence is increasing. A systematic review is one manner in which information can be graded, summarised and presented in a succinct format for use by practitioners, patients and third party payors. Objectives : To identify the current knowledge available on

Abstract:
In summary, the biomechanical stimulations can augment osteotendinous healing processes by facilitating better fibrocartilagious transitional zone regeneration as well as the restoration of proprioceptions, and the early application showed the more beneficial effects. However, further experimental and clinical studies are still needed to explore the optimal timing, intensity, frequency, and duration of the proposed postoperative biomechanical stimulation protocols.<br>LIPUS is a "non-contact" biomechanical stimulation, which can provide a direct mechanical stimulation through cavitation and ac

Abstract:
M.Tech.<br>Purpose: In soccer the re-injury rate of Hamstring muscle strains is between 12 and 14 percent. A previous or recent Hamstring injury is the most recognised risk factor for future injury. On recurrence of the injury, it tends to be more severe and disabling than the initial injury. Given the high recurrence rates, Hamstring injuries provide a significant challenge to the treating clinician. Knowledge surrounding optimal treatment and preventative measures is therefore critical (Hoskins and Pollard 2005). The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of lower lumbar spine segm
