Video Roundup: Celebrities Talk About their Tinnitus

Even though tinnitus sufferers often feel alone, tinnitus is a remarkably common symptom. Below, we’ve rounded up a number of video interviews about celebrities talking about their tinnitus:

Here’s Chris Martin of the band Coldplay talking about his tinnitus:

Below, actor William Shatner talks about his experience with developing tinnitus in the film industry:

Here’s a link to a video of Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas talking about his tinnitus.

Here’s a link to a video of Barbara Streisand talking about her tinnitus.

And finally, here’s a video of Ryan Adams talking about his tinnitus (in the context of Meniere’s Disease).

Hip movement pathomechanics of patients with hip osteoarthritis aim at reducing hip joint loading on the osteoarthritic side

Publication date: January 2018
Source:Gait & Posture, Volume 59
Author(s): A.G. Meyer Christophe, Mariska Wesseling, Kristoff Corten, Angela Nieuwenhuys, Davide Monari, Jean-Pierre Simon, Ilse Jonkers, Kaat Desloovere
This study aims at defining gait pathomechanics in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) and their effect on hip joint loading by combining analyses of hip kinematics, kinetics and contact forces during gait. Twenty patients with hip OA and 17 healthy volunteers matched for age and BMI performed three-dimensional gait analysis. Hip OA level was evaluated based on plane radiographs using the Tönnis classification. Hip joint kinematics, kinetics as well as hip contact forces were calculated. Waveforms were time normalized and compared between groups using statistical parametric mapping analysis. Patients walked with reduced hip adduction angle and reduced hip abduction and external rotation moments. The work generated by the hip abductors during the stance phase of gait was largely decreased. These changes resulted in a decrease and a more vertical and anterior orientation of the hip contact forces compared to healthy controls. This study documents alterations in hip kinematics and kinetics resulting in decreased hip loading in patients with hip OA. The results suggested that patients altered their gait to increase medio-lateral stability, thereby decreasing demand on the hip abductors. These findings support discharge of abductor muscles that may bear clinical relevance of tailored rehabilitation targeting hip abductor muscles strengthening and gait retraining.
