RESUMEN
Purpose: To report long-term evolution of unilateral focal choroidal excavation in a patient with ABCA4-related retinopathy. Observations: A 51-year-old female with ABCA4-related retinopathy developed a small juxtafoveal defect in Bruch's membrane in a region of macular atrophy in her left eye. In follow-up, the defect widened and subsequently developed into a focal choroidal excavation. Over the next 8 years, serial optical coherence tomography imaging illustrated the conversion of the focal choroidal excavation from conforming subtype into non-conforming subtype with eventual macular hole formation. Conclusions and importance: The long-term follow-up of a patient with serial imaging highlights the potential dynamic nature of focal choroidal excavation in ABCA4-related retinopathy. Progressive retinal degeneration may influence focal choroidal excavation morphology and may promote macular hole formation.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the reliability and validity of 2-dimensional (2D) video-based motion analysis during running. METHODS: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro, SPORTDiscus, and IEEE Xplore was conducted in March 2020 and updated in May 2021. We included studies assessing reliability and/or validity of 2D video-based motion analysis (gold standard: 3D motion analysis) during running. RESULTS: 11 studies (251 runners; mean age range: 18.7-37.0 years; 57.4% female; 63.7% injury-free) met inclusion criteria. Eight studies examined kinematics of the pelvis/hip, eight of the knee, and six of the ankle/foot. Low-to-moderate risk of bias was present in all studies. Heterogeneous study designs, measurement methods, and statistical approaches across studies precluded statistical synthesis. Intrarater reliability [Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) range: 0.56-1.00; kappa range: 0.49-0.81] was better than interrater reliability (ICC range: 0.31-1.00; kappa range 0.00-0.85). ICC values for validity were poor to good (0.06-0.89). One study examining foot strike pattern found good to excellent validity (using Gwet AC statistics) when movement kinematics were categorized. CONCLUSIONS: A wide range of methods were reported in 2D video-based motion analysis of joint angular kinematics during a running task. Further research to develop standardized 2D video-based motion analysis for running is needed. Categorizing movement patterns may be more useful than angularly quantifying joint kinematics.
