The goal of the OPTIKNEE consensus is to improve knee and overall health, prevent osteoarthritis (OA) after a traumatic injury. followed seven-step hybrid process. Expert groups conducted 7 systematic reviews synthesise current evidence inform recommendations on burden injuries; risk factors for post-traumatic OA; rehabilitation patient-reported outcomes, muscle function functional performance tests monitor people at OA. Draft definitions, clinical research were generated, iteratively...
We aimed to establish consensus for reporting recommendations relating participant characteristics in tendon research. A scoping literature review of tendinopathy studies (Achilles, patellar, hamstring, gluteal and elbow) was followed by an online survey face-to-face meeting with expert healthcare professionals (HCPs) at the International Scientific Tendon Symposium, Groningen 2018. reviewed 263 papers form statements invited 30 HCPs from different disciplines geographical locations; 28...
Anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction (ACLR) is often associated with pain, functional loss, poor quality of life accelerated knee osteoarthritis development. The effectiveness interventions to enhance outcomes for those at high risk early-onset unknown. This study will investigate if SUpervised exercise-therapy Patient Education Rehabilitation (SUPER) superior a minimal intervention control improving function in young adults ongoing symptoms following ACLR.
Objectives The study aims to (1) report the process of recruiting young adults into a secondary knee osteoarthritis prevention randomised controlled trial (RCT) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR); (2) determine number individuals needed be screened include one participant (NNS) and (3) baseline characteristics participants. Methods SUpervised exercise-therapy Patient Education Rehabilitation (SUPER)-Knee RCT compares SUPER minimal intervention for (aged 18–40 years) with...
Background: Women’s participation in all football codes (including Australian Football [AF]) is increasing rapidly. To guide injury prevention strategies, the authors aimed to describe current and lifetime prevalence of significant musculoskeletal injuries concussions for women girls playing community AF. Hypothesis: Women will have high rates associated with Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Level Evidence: 3. Methods: Participants were Victorian AF players from 165 participating teams...
To investigate the effectiveness of an isometric squat exercise using a portable belt, on patellar tendon pain and function, in athletes during their competitive season.Case series with no requirements to change any aspect games or training. The object this pragmatic study was intervention addition "usual management." A control sham considered unacceptable teams.In-season.A total 25 male female elite subelite from 5 sports.5 × 30-second quadriceps rigid belt completed over 4-week period.(1)...
Background: The International Hip Outcome Tool–33 (iHOT-33) was developed to evaluate patients seeking surgery for hip and/or groin (hip/groin) pain and may not be appropriate those nonsurgical treatment. Purpose: To the psychometric properties of iHOT-33 total (iHOT-Total) score all subscale scores in adults with hip/groin who were surgery. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3. Methods: Patients recruited from 2 ongoing studies Australia. Semistructured one-on-one...
Following ACL reconstruction (ACLR), deficits in hip muscle strength and relationships to future outcomes are unknown.111 participants one year after ACLR, completed external rotation (ER) internal (IR) assessment. At 1 (n = 111) 5 74) years post-ACLR, a battery of functional, symptomatic (Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)) structural assessments (radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). Cartilage health the patellofemoral tibiofemoral compartments was assessed with...
Explore associations between peak hip strength in football players with hip/groin pain and healthy controls.Cross-sectional study.Male female sub-elite (soccer Australian football) >6-month duration without were recruited across Melbourne Brisbane, Australia. Demographic information two questionnaires; the Copenhagen Hip Groin Outcome Score International Tool 33 collected. Hand-held dynamometry was used to measure isometric for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation,...
To describe and compare pain maps reported during Achilles tendon loading exercises with recall location, in people on palpation their pathology imaging.
Objective Our aim was to investigate (1) gender representation, (2) opportunities and training (3) harassment experiences in Sport Exercise Medicine (SEM) practitioners working elite sport Australia. Methods All titled Australian Physiotherapy Association Physiotherapists, SEM Physicians Registrars doctors physiotherapists (SEM practitioners) currently/previously/aspiring work were invited participate a bespoke online survey the Gender Experiences Questionnaire. Results For currently sport,...
Introduction Running is one of the most popular recreational activities worldwide, due to its low cost and accessibility. However, little known about impact running on knee joint health in runners with without a history surgery. The primary aim this longitudinal cohort study compare structural features MRI symptoms at baseline 4-year follow-up Secondary aims are explore relationships between training load exposures (volume and/or intensity) changes structure over 4 years; relationship...
To explore if one-leg rise test performance is associated with quadriceps strength following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).Cross-sectional.100 individuals (50 females, 50 males) aged 18-40 years, 9-36 months post-ACLR ongoing knee symptoms (KOOS4 <80/100).Number of repetitions (using an adjustable-height plinth) and isometric using isokinetic dynamometry (60° flexion, normalised to body mass). Multivariable fractional polynomial regression models adjusted for sex explored...
To investigate associations between lateral hip muscle size/intramuscular fat infiltration (MFI) and strength in active young adults with longstanding hip/groin pain.
