Background: Programs to prevent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female basketball players are scarce. Also, ACL injury prevention training that focuses on hip joint function has not been reported. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of a hip-focused program players. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective intervention study was conducted for 12 years. Incidence rates were collected first 4 years (observation period) from college After...
Objective: To evaluate hip abductor and adductor peak torque outputs compare their ratios between sexes. Design: A cross-sectional laboratory-controlled study. Setting: Participants visited a laboratory performed an isokinetic test. All participants 2 sets of 5 repetitions concentric abduction adduction in standing position at 60 degrees per second. Gravity was determined as function joint angle relative to the horizontal plane corrected by normalizing weight limb on individual basis....
Background: Successful return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) can be affected by a patient’s physical and psychological state throughout the rehabilitation process. Purpose: To prospectively compare differences in patients at 6 months primary ACLR with ACL–Return Sport Injury (ACL-RSI), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) or pediatric (Pedi)-IKDC, Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (Pedi-FABS),...
Objectives American football continues to be a popular and rapidly growing sport among both males females, with relatively little research concerning injuries for the latter – especially in youth population. The current study aims evaluate differences epidemiology of injured body parts injury diagnoses between male female players.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect muscular strength, strength asymmetries, and fatigue on speed accuracy an instep kick in soccer players. We measured ball velocity (BV) kicking (KA) preferred (PL) non-preferred leg (NPL) before (PRE) after (POST) physical load PL. Maximum peak muscle torque knee extensors flexors PL NPL as well ipsilateral ratio (H:Q ratio) for both legs were assessed. BV significantly decreased POST (5.82%, BVPRE=30.79±1.70 m·s-1, BVPOST=29.00±1.70...
Postural stability is often affected by sport-related injuries and subsequently evaluated during postinjury examinations. Intrinsic factors, however, may also affect postural control. We sought to compare the control of female male athletes as measured simultaneously (1) modified balance error scoring system (mBESS) (2) a video-force plate system.Cross-sectional study.Sports injury prevention center.Pediatric, adolescent, young adult who performed mBESS an evaluation.We compared athletes....
The aim of this study was to determine whether the speed, agility, aerobic and anaerobic capacities football players varied by playing positions. Elite youth (n = 123, age 15.7 ± 0.5 years) who played in six different positions, as goalkeepers (GK), full backs (FB), central defenders (CD), wide midfielders (WM), (CM), attackers (AT), were assessed. Multivariate analysis variances used compare following variables: Linear running sprint for 5 m (S5) 10 (S10), flying 20 (F20), agility 505 test...
Background: Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in pediatric patients has not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to assess the demographics, technique, and results ACL revision surgery children adolescents. Methods: This a retrospective case series with outcomes assessment 18 years old younger who underwent over 16-year period at single institution. Medical records were reviewed for clinical operative data, contacted minimum 1 year after surgery. Results:...
