Peer review, May 10, 2012[edit]


The following corrections should be made to the article to improve its content.

Formatting, specifically the spaces between paragraphs and between lines should be corrected. There are excess spaces and part of the article appears to follow a different structural format from the rest of the article. This is simply for aesthetic purposes.

Consider separating the prevalence into a subcategory somewhere labeled etiology or epidemiology. This will provide the reader a quick link in the content table at the top of the article, to jump straight to this data, if they do not want to sort through the data to find this information and/or want to read the disorder description.

The mechanism portion is well written. However, it overlaps with etiological data. To remedy this, the etiology / epidemiology sub-section could easily be placed under mechanism. The mechanism could be described generally, and then the epidemiological data could be described in further detail, carried on directly from the above mechanism section, thus showing the relationship.

The following are positive points of this article.

The prevalence portion was well developed. Including risk factors leading to the break in endemic populations was insightful.

It was very insightful to place common rehabilitative exercises under the treatment section. This does not instruct one on how to do these, which is usually prohibited from such an article, yet provides a more specific knowledge of what is done in physical or rehabilitative therapy.

The mechanisms portion is well developed.
