Ober test, Thomas transabdominal ultrasound measurements performed both groups....

Abstract The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament. In previous studies, it was demonstrated that patients following ACL reconstruction may present motor deficits which be related to increased risk of injury. objective study determine whether players who have passed RTS assessment still in movement patterns or neuromuscular control after such a serious injury as rupture and reconstruction,. Sixty-five male football (age 18–25 years), recruited from...

The aim of the study was to determine between-trial and between-day reliability Glazer protocol our multi-activity surface electromyography (sEMG) measurement for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) evaluation. bioelectrical activity PFM collected using an endovaginal electrode in 30 young, Caucasian, nulliparous women (age 22–27, 168.6 ± 5.1 cm, 57.1 11.8 kg). original new sEMG were assessed during following phases: pre-baseline rest, phasic (flick) contractions, tonic endurance contraction,...

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness a 3-week rehabilitation programme focusing only on cervical region, pain intensity, range motion in spine, head posture, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) functioning subjects with idiopathic neck who did not report TMJ pain. Design. A parallel group trial follow-up. Methods. included 60 participants divided into 2 groups: experimental: <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mi>n</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mn>25</mn>...

Objective: To identify the difference in infraspinatus, posterior deltoid, and teres minor muscle fatigability between dominant non-dominant side elite volleyball players to examine differences three sEMG signal processing methods used assessment of shoulder imbalance due fatigue players. Methods: In 18 male (21-26 years; 186.6 ± 8.4 cm; 85.7 9.8 kg) with no previous injury bioelectrical activity right left muscles was measured during 60 seconds isometric contraction prone position external...

Background: The decision to return sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is difficult; thus, coaching staff require a readable, easy-to-use, and holistic indication of an athlete’s readiness play. Purpose: To present the Composite Score Readiness (CSR) as method providing single score for RTS tests ACL reconstruction. Methods: study comprised 65 male football players (age 18–25 years), divided into three groups: group—subjects rupture reconstruction, Mild Injury...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprint performance professional football players, determine which strength speed elements assessed by CMJ translate into effective running. Methods: research sample comprised 87 male players (age 23.7 ± 4.20 years; body mass 82.33 6.56 kg; height 1.86 0.05 m) who performed on a dual-force platform, as well 30 m test. time velocity run were recorded photocells at 0, 5, 10, distance....

Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a severe injury common in sports. It also has high rate re-injury. The aim this work was to assess hamstring muscle fatigue active football players after ACL reconstruction who were cleared play and determine symmetry between lateral medial muscles.

In recent years, many studies on the safe return to sport (RTS) have been published, but there are still no clear and validated guidelines. After ACL reconstruction between limbs, asymmetry of muscle strength affects knee mechanics during walking running, asymmetrical joint kinematics kinetics considered as a strong risk factor musculoskeletal injury. Therefore, proper diagnosis any motor deficits remaining after seems particularly important. The aim this study was analyze how tests should...

This study was aimed at observing how the limitation of ankle dorsiflexion ROM affects hamstring muscle Peak Torque/BW (%), Average Power (W), and Total Work (J), whether this effect is similar in football players after ACL rupture reconstruction those without injuries. The included 47 professional who were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 24) 2 23) injuries past 3 years. Based on Weight-Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT), following subgroups Groups distinguished: N (normal joint dorsiflexion) R...

The foot arches are responsible for proper loading, optimal force distribution, and transmission throughout the soft tissues. Since arch is an elastic structure, able to adapt forces transmitted by foot, it was reported that low related excessive pronation, while high arched more rigid inflexible. Therefore, also probable, alterations may change via myofascial chains. objective of this study evaluate effect symmetrical asymmetrical feet arching on muscle fatigue in distal body parts such as...
