Although data exist on injuries in youth football leagues, there are limited recent injury incidence middle school football. Updated estimates can help drive the development of prevention strategies.Describe epidemiology during years 2015-2016 to 2017-2018.Descriptive study.Data originated from 9 public schools Virginia 2017-2018. Certified athletic trainers collected and athlete-exposure (AE) school-sanctioned games practices boys', Injury counts rates per 1000 AEs were calculated. rate...
Gait modification using real-time biofeedback is a conservative intervention associated with positive outcomes. Results from systematic reviews corroborate the effectiveness of various strategies employing for reducing estimated knee joint load. The effects on nonmodified limb, however, remain unclear. Biomechanical changes to limb were investigated during unilaterally implemented medial thrust, lateral trunk lean, and toe-in foot progression. Nineteen healthy participants recruited. Ten...
Gait modifications, such as lateral trunk lean (LTL), medial knee thrust (MKT), and toe-in gait (TIG), are frequently investigated interventions used to slow the progression of osteoarthritis. The Lerner model was developed estimate tibiofemoral joint reaction forces (JRF) in compartments during gait. These models may be useful for estimating effects on JRF a result modifications. We hypothesized that all modifications would decrease compared normal Twenty healthy individuals volunteered...
First peak knee adduction moment (PKAM) has been associated with osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Gait modification strategies using real-time biofeedback (RTB) including lateral trunk lean (TL), medial thrust (MKT), and reduced foot progression angle (FPA) have PKAM in both healthy OA populations. However, heterogeneity between limited study designs makes it unclear which strategy most effectively reduces PKAM. PURPOSE: To compare the effects of TL, MKT, FPA on individuals during gait....
Gait modification (GM) via real-time biofeedback (RTB) is a conservative intervention that has shown positive outcomes in post stroke and diabetic patients. Results from recent systematic review support the effectiveness of this approach for increasing peak internal knee extension moment (iPKEM). iPKEM resistive to external flexion (ePKFM), which associated with altered joint loading. Scarce information exists on comparative existing GM strategies. PURPOSE: To compare trunk lean (TL), medial...
Lower extremity biomechanical parameters during gait are of interest in degenerative pathologies, such as knee osteoarthritis. However, few investigations have looked at the effect walking speed on biomechanics (e.g., moments). METHODS: 10 healthy volunteers (25.6 ± 5.0 years, 1.68 0.11 m, 70.3 18.0 kg) completed 3 trials each 4 different speeds [preferred (PS), fast (FS), slow (SS), & very (VSS)]. The range for was determined by measuring a percentage participants PS: FS = (120 5%), SS (80...
