The incidence of patellofemoral pain (PFP) is 2 times greater in females compared with males similar activity levels; however, the exact reason for this discrepancy remains unclear. Abnormal mechanics hip and knee sagittal, frontal, transverse planes have been associated an increased risk PFP. purpose study was to compare lower extremity during running order better understand reason(s) behind sex Three-dimensional kinematic kinetic data were collected as male female participants completed...
Study Design Cross-sectional study. Background The drop vertical jump task is commonly used to screen for anterior cruciate ligament injury risk; however, its predictive validity limited. limited of the may be due not imposing cognitive demands that reflect sports participation. Objectives To investigate influence additional on lower extremity mechanics during execution task. Methods Twenty uninjured women (age range, 18-25 years) were required perform standard task, as well jumps included...
Background Meniscus injuries often accompany anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. However, little is known about how different surgical approaches to treat concomitant meniscus impact hop performance after ACL reconstruction. Purpose: The purpose of this study was compare test inter-limb symmetry for patients who had undergone reconstruction without an associated meniscal surgery, with a repair, and partial meniscectomy. Study Design Cross-sectional Methods Hop data collected at the time...
The lack of normative data for single-leg vertical jump testing makes it challenging to determine when an injured athlete has achieved a level interlimb symmetry that is within normal limits. purpose this study was establish values height based on from uninjured adolescent athletes. One hundred seventy three athletes completed with both limbs. Descriptive statistics were generated summarize the percent differences in heights between limbs (interlimb symmetry) male and female Having available...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in basketball appear to be more common when players are possession of the ball. The greater risk ACL injury ball may result from athlete's inability fully attend their movement. However, it is also possible that having carry/manipulate restricts ability utilise upper extremities for stability during a manoeuvre. purpose this study was explore how and divided attention influence lower extremity mechanics cutting landing. Twenty uninjured females with...
Training to reduce landing forces is a common component of anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention programmes. The purpose this study was compare the effects training incorporating instructions promoting an internal versus external attentional focus on in adolescent rugby athletes. Twenty-two athletes were randomly allocated groups that received during two week programme. Landing recorded before and after completion During follow-up testing, landings performed with without secondary...
Ghanati, HA, Letafatkar, A, Almonroeder, TG, and Rabiei, P. Examining the influence of attentional focus on effects a neuromuscular training program in male athletes. J Strength Cond Res 36(6): 1568-1575, 2022-Neuromuscular programs that incorporate lower extremity strengthening, plyometric exercises, balance training, movement retraining are recommended for anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention; however, there is need to improve their effectiveness. The purpose this study was examine...
Firefighters often complete air management courses (AMC) to assess the ability tolerate personal protective equipment, appropriately manage breathing system and occupational performance. Little information is known relative physiological demands of AMCs, nor how work efficiency in order characterize performance evaluate progress.To an AMC examine differences across BMI categories. A secondary aim was develop equation firefighters.Fifty-seven firefighters (Women, n = 4; age: 37.2 ± 8.4 yr.;...
Introduction. The National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) is a standardized examination designed to assess competence after graduation from an entry-level physical therapist education program. Review of Literature. Previous studies have identified applicant and student variables that are related NPTE performance, with reflecting performance before admission admission. However, there very few articles describing how these can be combined predict performance. purpose this study was...
Context : The bodyweight squat exercise is a common component for treatment and prevention of patellofemoral pain; however, it can also place high load on the joint. Restricting anterior motion knees relative to toes during squatting appears reduce loading. However, professionals typically rely verbal instructions alter technique. Objective To evaluate influence regarding technique joint Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Motion analysis laboratory. Participants Eleven uninjured females....
The mechanism of action a foot orthotic is poorly understood. purpose this study was to use principal components analysis (PCA) analyze the effects prefabricated on frontal plane knee and ankle mechanics during running. Thirty-one healthy subjects performed running trials with without PCA joint angles moments identify dominant modes variation. MANOVAs were conducted retained each waveform dependent t tests ( P < .05) in case significance. Mechanics not affected by orthotic. However,...
Background Anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention often involves instructing athletes to reduce landing stiffness. Instructions promoting an external focus appear result in superior motor performance for a wide range of tasks; however, the effect attentional on stiffness has not been examined. Hypothesis/purpose The purpose this study was compare influence instructions internal vs. those It hypothesized that both types would landings performed prior instruction. also participants...
Study Design Controlled laboratory study, cross-sectional. Background Orthotic prescription is often based on the premise that mechanical effects will be more prominent in individuals with greater calcaneal eversion. Objective To compare of a prefabricated foot orthosis lower extremity kinematics and kinetics between recreational athletes high low eversion during running. Methods Thirty-one were included this study. Three-dimensional kinematic kinetic data collected while running without...
Excessive forces and/or loading rates during landing may place ballet dancers at risk for overuse injury. The ability to estimate and monitor the of could help improve injury prevention rehabilitation; however, force platforms are not conducive testing outside a laboratory. Fortunately, it be possible indirectly assess via wearable accelerometer. purposes this study were examine relationship between impact accelerations, recorded pelvis-worn accelerometer, peak performance common manoeuvre,...
