  • Title: The treatment of overuse injury syndrome.
    Author: Fry HJ.
    Journal: Md Med J; 1993 Mar; 42(3):277-82. PubMed ID: 8350687.
    Abstract:
    The emphasis on performance injury has shifted from epidemiology to prevention. Rest treatment, modified or radical, followed by rehabilitation, remains the cornerstone of treatment. The basic features, details of management, and side effects of these treatment phases are discussed at length, followed by a detailed description of the author's experience with 176 musicians seen for overuse injury syndrome. Forty-one patients were not prescribed rest treatment, refused rest treatment, or quit rest treatment early; 45 patients were prescribed a modified rest treatment program, of whom 87% were cured of symptoms; and 90 patients were prescribed radical rest treatment, with a final success rate of 87% also.
