  • Title: [Common overuse knee-to-toes injuries in recreational exercise. Most cases are treatable in primary health care].
    Author: Pålsson L, Karlsson J.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 1998 Sep 30; 95(40):4369-70, 4374-5. PubMed ID: 9800458.
    Abstract:
    Although overuse injuries are common among recreational exercise-takers, in most cases they are treatable in primary care. It is important to evaluate both intrinsic and extrinsic aetiological factors underlying the development of overuse injuries. Treatment should always be focused on the aetiological factors, rather than solely on the symptoms. After an initial period of rest, a supervised rehabilitation programme, combined with correction of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, is the optimal treatment for most overuse syndromes. Surgery is only rarely necessary.
