“Motionyms”: Activity-related musculoskeletal and medical problems (or “not an eponym!!”)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Many common conditions in sports medicine are eponymous; that is, they are named for the person first describing or popularizing the diagnosis. But other medical conditions are named for the action or activity that is associated with the pathology. This article lists and references these conditions, and suggests that this group of conditions should be called “motionyms”.
