help with picking journal article

[PM&Radam]

I need to pick 2 articles for our group of residents for upcoming journal club. I have been looking through the large list of articles listed here under "journal club" but am having a tough time picking two out. Just wondering if any other residents out there can suggest one or two they recently had at their journal clubs which were good articles and written in the last few years. THANKS.

Just do what I did: browse through Archives online

Have a frozen shoulder article if you're interested

Is there a particular sub-specialty of PM&R that you are focusing on with regards to articles?

 

[axm397]

When you say "good", do you mean good quality research or controversial and "good" for journal club discussion?

 

[violet1024]

One article that was both good research and good for discussion in terms of the ideas it brought out in our journal club was

Chae J et al. Intramuscular Electrical Stimulation for Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain: A 12 month follow up of a multiple center, randomized clinical trial. Am. J. Phys. Med Rehabil. Vol 84, No. 11 pages 832-842.

It's from November 2005.
