animal study finds Testosterone likely improves ACL strength. This study looked at castrated rats versus non-castrated rats. The Testosterone levels were significant between the two groups. The stress load tolerated by the ACL was different between the 2 groups. One wonders how the C:T ratio may have an impact here?
PF Night Splint Compared to plantar based splints, patients prefer dorsal models because they are less bulky, cooler, lower profile and easier to walk in at night. PF Night Splint includes all of these features and more. Neoprene calf and toe straps along with gel padding on the top of the foot help reduce pressure points and the plastic-free bottom offers safer nighttime ambulation. Even added more room in the forefoot to accommodate wider feet and new flexible shell allows easier nighttime ambulation without compromising the ability to hold the foot at 90° during rest. Finally, a plantar fasciitis splint patients will wear all night! Neoprene calf. Padded foam liner. Fits right or left. Not made with natural rubber latex.

Opinion publication recommends total Testosterone as primary means of evaluating Testosterone. This recommendation relies on the use of immunoassay techniques which can lack specificity compared to newer LC/MS and GC/MS techniques. The authors did recommend using salivary Testosterone when borderline and SHBG variables play in, which happens to be most clients I see. The best approach is to use both simultaneously to give a more clear physiologic picture to start.
