Context: A number of comprehensive injury-prevention programs have demonstrated injury risk-reduction effects but had limited adoption across athletic settings. This may be due to program noncompliance, minimal exercise supervision, lack progression, and sport specificity. soccer-specific described as the F-MARC 11+ was developed by an expert group in association with Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Medical Assessment Research Centre (F-MARC) require equipment...
Muscle weakness and atrophy are common impairments after musculoskeletal injury. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training offers the ability to mitigate without overloading healing tissues. It appears be a safe effective approach therapeutic exercise in sports medicine environments. This requires consideration of wide range factors, purpose our article is provide insights into proposed mechanisms effectiveness, safety considerations, application guidelines, clinical recommendations for BFR...
Context: The reliability of clinical techniques to quantify thoracic spine rotation range motion (ROM) has not been evaluated. Objective: To determine the intratester and intertester 5 measurement techniques. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: University research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Forty-six healthy volunteers (age = 23.6±4.3 years, height 171.0±9.6 cm, mass 71.4 ±16.7 kg). Main Outcome Measure(s): We tested ROM over 2 days: seated (bar in back front),...
A hand-held dynamometer (HHD) offers a reliable and valid method to quantify quadriceps strength in clinical environment. While measures of peak provide functional insights, most daily activities are performed quickly do not require maximum strength. Rate torque development (RTD) better reflect both the demands activity athletic movements. The capacity obtain RTD settings is possible with an HHD, but validity has been quantified.To determine HHD measure isometric metrics compared obtained on...
AbstractAbstractMuscle energy technique (MET) is a form of manual therapy frequently used to correct lumbopelvic pain (LPP), herein the patient voluntarily contracts specific muscles against resistance clinician. Studies on MET regarding magnitude and duration effectiveness are limited. This study was randomized controlled trial in which 20 subjects with self-reported LPP were into two groups (MET or control) after determined. hamstrings iliopsoas consisted four 5-second hold/relax periods,...
Randomized clinical trial.To determine whether manipulation of the proximal or distal tibiofibular joint would change ankle dorsiflexion range motion and functional outcomes over a 3-week period in individuals with chronic instability.Altered arthrokinematics may play role instability dysfunction. Joint mobilization offer ability to restore normal improve function.Forty-three participants (mean ± SD age, 25.6 7.6 years; height, 174.3 10.2 cm; mass, 74.6 16.7 kg) were randomized manipulation,...
Identification and management of chronic lumbar spine instability is a clinical challenge for manual physical therapists. Chronic presented as term that can encompass two types instability: mechanical (radiographic) functional (clinical) (FLI). The components FLI are relative to the development therapy diagnosis management. purpose this paper review historical framework from perspective summarize current research in therapy.
Study Design Descriptive laboratory study. Objective To determine if a proposed clinical test (pressure biofeedback) could detect changes in transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle thickness during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver. Background Pressure biofeedback may be used to assess function and TrA activation maneuver but has not been validated. Methods Forty-nine individuals (18 men, 31 women) with low back pain who met stabilization classification criteria underwent ultrasound imaging...
OBJECTIVE: To describe age-, sex-, and graft source-specific reference values for patient-reported, physical function, strength outcome measures in adolescents at 5 to 7 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: Data were collected 3 universities 2 children's hospitals. The participants completed least one of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Evaluation Form, Pediatric IKDC (Pedi-IKDC), Injury Osteoarthritis...
Restrictions in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) have been associated with decreased posterior talar glide individuals an acute lateral sprain. Talocrural joint mobilizations may be used to restore arthrokinematics. Our purpose was examine the effects a single bout anterior (AP) talocrural mobilization on self-reported function, ROM, and translation This single-blinded, randomized controlled trial utilized 17 volunteers (nine treatment eight control) sprain (grade I/II) who were...
Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate ability 2 types bridging-exercise progressions muscles during an drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals LBP. Design: Randomized trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1...
A comprehensive battery of tests are used to inform return play decisions following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Performance measures contribute patient function, but it is not clear if achieving symmetrical performance on strength and hop sufficient or a also needs meet minimum unilateral thresholds.
