Background: Impairments in motor control may predicate the paradigm of chronic ankle instability (CAI) that can develop year after an acute lateral sprain (LAS) injury. No prospective analysis is currently available identifying mechanisms by which these impairments and contribute to long-term outcome LAS. Purpose: To identify deficits predicating CAI a first-time LAS Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2. Methods: Eighty-two individuals were recruited sustaining Several...
Lateral ankle sprain injury is the most common musculoskeletal incurred by individuals who participate in sports and recreational physical activities. Following initial injury, a high proportion of develop long-term injury-associated symptoms chronic instability. The development instability consequent on interaction mechanical sensorimotor insufficiencies/impairments that manifest following acute lateral injury. To reduce propensity for developing instability, clinical assessments should...
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a prevalent lower limb musculo-skeletal injury in adolescent females. Female athletes with PFP display increased frontal plane knee joint motion comparison to control subjects. The current investigation aimed determine prospectively whether two-dimensional valgus displacement during landing could predict the risk of developing PFP. Seventy-six injury-free female (age = 12.9 ±0.35 years) participated. At baseline participants performed three drop vertical jump...
Healthcare is undergoing a fundamental shift in which digital health tools are becoming ubiquitous, with the promise of improved outcomes, reduced costs, and greater efficiency. professionals, patients, wider public faced paradox choice regarding technologies across multiple domains. Research continuing to look for methods further revolutionise all aspects from prediction, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring. However, despite its promise, reality implementing practice, scalability innovations,...
No researchers, to our knowledge, have investigated the immediate postinjury-movement strategies associated with acute first-time lateral ankle sprain (LAS) as quantified by center of pressure (COP) and kinematic analyses during performance Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).To analyze COP patterns a group LAS noninjured control SEBT.Case-control study.University biomechanics laboratory.A total 81 participants (53 men, 28 women; age = 23.22 ± 4.93 years, height 1.73 0.09 m, mass 75.72 13.86...
Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Objective To utilize kinematic and stabilometric measures to compare dynamic balance during performance of the Star Excursion Balance Test between persons 6 months following first-time lateral ankle sprain (LAS) a noninjured control group. Background Biomechanical evaluation in LAS could provide insight into mechanisms by which individuals proceed recover fully or develop chronic instability. Methods Sagittal plane kinematics lower extremity...
Abstract Introduction Consumer wearables increasingly provide users with Composite Health Scores (CHS) – integrated biometric indices that claim to quantify readiness, recovery, stress, or overall well-being. Despite their growing adoption, the validity, transparency, and physiological relevance of these scores remain unclear. This study systematically evaluates CHS from leading wearable manufacturers assess underlying methodologies, contributors, scientific basis. Content Information was...
No research currently exists investigating the effect of acute injury on single‐limb landing strategies. The aim current study was to analyze coordination strategies participants in phase lateral ankle sprain ( LAS ) injury. Thirty‐seven with acute, first‐time and 19 uninjured completed a single‐leg drop task both limbs. Three‐dimensional kinematic (angular displacement) sagittal plane kinetic (moment‐of‐force) data were acquired for joints lower extremity from 200 ms pre‐initial contact IC...
No research exists predicating a link between acute ankle sprain injury-affiliated movement patterns and those of chronic instability (CAI) populations. The aim the current study was to perform biomechanical analysis participants, 6 months after they sustained first-time lateral (LAS) injury establish this link. Fifty-seven participants with 6-month history LAS 20 noninjured completed single-leg drop landing task on both limbs. Three-dimensional kinematic (angular displacement) sagittal...
