Whole‐body vibration ( WBV ) is currently used to enhance performance and treat injuries even though we lack an understanding of how influences physiological processes. An improved the effects could lead protocols speed healing or pathologies. This study examined acute on peripheral blood perfusion, muscle oxygenation, motoneuron pool excitability, sensory nerve conduction velocity. Fourteen healthy participants [9 women (21.7 ± 2.4 years); 5 men (20.8 1.1 years)] completed a min bout (50 Hz...
Research suggests that patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) are at risk for certain conditions and denied equal access to health care in physician offices compared with their heterosexual counterparts. However, little evidence exists regarding the treatment of LGBTQ student-athlete athletic training clinic role trainer (AT) plays these experiences.To explore perceptions ATs treating patients.Cross-sectional study.Web-based survey.A total 1077...
Context Telemedicine is the delivery of medical care from a distance using technology. The integration telemedicine as supplement to musculoskeletal-based patient encounters may be feasible in sports medicine. Objective To investigate health professionals' perceptions and experiences with telemedicine. Design Cross-sectional explanatory sequential mixed-methods study. Patients or Other Participants A purposeful sample 17 athletic trainers National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I...
In December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, also known as the novel disease 2019 (COVID-19), became a global public health crisis. Government officials in United States subsequently responded by issuing lockdown orders that closed schools, terminated sports, and resulted many people transitioning to working from home, immediately affecting ability of athletic trainers (ATs) practice clinically.To describe job status, duties, telemedicine use, resiliency ATs during...
Context Significant health care disparities exist in the United States based on socioeconomic status (SES), but role SES has secondary school athletes' access to athletic training services not been examined a national scale. Objective To identify differences public schools SES. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Database analysis. Patients or Other Participants Data for 3482 high schools. Main Outcome Measure(s) were gathered from Athletic Training Locations and Services (ATLAS) database,...
Context: While increasing telehealth use throughout sports medicine has improved patients’ access to health care, some communities may not have the same opportunities connect with a provider. Barriers implementation can be influenced by internal (eg, provider’s digital literacy and resources) external community’s social determinants of or “SDOH”) factors. This study aimed assess impact factors on athletic trainers (ATs). Design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: In total, 767 ATs participated...
Abstract Background Evidence-based interventions may reduce mortality in surgical patients. This study documented the prevalence of sepsis, adherence to guidelines its management, and timing source control general patients presenting as an emergency. Methods Patients aged 16 years or more with emergency surgery problems were identified over a 7-day period then screened for sepsis compliance (using Sepsis Six standards, devised severe sepsis) (whether radiological surgical). Exploratory...
Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Background Body-weight-support (BWS) running is increasing in popularity, despite limited evidence of its effects on mechanics. Objectives To determine the effect BWS lower-limb biomechanics during lower-body positive-pressure (LBPP) treadmill running. Methods Fourteen male recreational runners completed 15 randomized trials an LBPP at 5 levels and 3 velocities (1-minute with 3-minute recovery). Knee ankle kinematic data were recorded continuously...
Musculoskeletal injuries are a common occurrence in military service members. It is believed that the load carried by member impedes stability and alters back pelvis kinematics, increasing their susceptibility to musculoskeletal injuries, specifically lower extremities. The purpose of this study was examine effects two different loads on postural sway, forward trunk lean, pelvic girdle motion United States Army Cadets. Twenty male Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadets participated study....

Context Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) athletic trainers (ATs) face uncertain acceptance in the workplace. Objective To examine perceptions of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) student-athletes toward ATs who identified as LGBTQ. Design Cross-sectional design. Setting Web-based survey.

Firefighting specific personal protective ensembles (PPE) have decreased the number of injuries and illnesses related to exposure fire products; however nearly half are musculoskeletal in nature. The external load PPE may contribute balance deficits; placing firefighters at an increased risk injury.To determine effects on dynamic firefighters.Forty male (age = 37.1±8.2y; height 182.7±8.5 cm; mass 98.9±14.4 kg; years experience 11.0±6.2y) completed this study. Participants tasks station...
Slips, trips, and falls are leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries in firefighters. Researchers have hypothesized that heat stress is the major contributing factor to these fireground injuries.
Incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into daily routine is essential for patient-centered clinical practice. Secondary school athletic trainers (ATs) may encounter unique barriers that limit their willingness to use PROs.To explore how secondary ATs who were using PROs perceived application, benefits, and problems compared with those did not.Cross-sectional study.Web-based survey.A total of 2984 received an e-mail invitation, 322 completed the survey (response rate = 10.8%)....
Context Athletic training is at the forefront of prevention injury and illness. As push for population-level approaches continues, including expansion standards related to professional preparation, there a need examine knowledge practice application public health topics athletic trainers (ATs), as they may serve role models or preceptors. Objective To assess ATs' topics. Design Setting Online survey with assessment. Participants Four hundred eighty-seven ATs (age = 35.8 ± 11.1 years, years...
