The prevalence of jumper's knee among nonelite athletes from different sports is unknown.This study was undertaken to determine the in and potential risk factors for knee.Cohort (prevalence); Level evidence, 2.The authors interviewed 891 male female 7 popular Netherlands: basketball, volleyball, handball, korfball, soccer, field hockey, track field. Using a specially developed questionnaire, information obtained about individual characteristics (age, height, weight), training background,...
Lower extremity tendinopathy is a common sports injury, but it can also affect non-athletes. Because difficult to treat and has negative effects on the ability work quality of life, development preventive interventions important. The first step in Van Mechelen prevention model determine extent problem. primary aim this study was incidence prevalence lower Dutch general practice population. secondary investigate possible associated factors.A cross-sectional performed practice. Using...
Persistent tendon pain that impairs function has inconsistent medical terms can influence choice of treatment.1 When a person is told they have tendinopathy by clinician A or tendinitis B, might feel confused be alarmed at receiving what perceive as two different diagnoses. This may lead to loss confidence in their health professional and likely adds uncertainty if were search for information about condition. Clear uniform terminology also assists inter-professional communication....
Objective Elite youth soccer players have a relatively high risk for injuries and illnesses due to increased physical psychosocial stress. The aim of this study is investigate how measures monitor stress recovery, its analysis, provide useful information the prevention in elite players. Methods 53 between 15 18 years age participated study. To determine stress, registered training match duration session rating perceived exertion two competitive seasons by means daily logs. Dutch version...
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is common among athletes in jumping sports and with prolonged repetitive stress of the knee extensor apparatus. The epidemiology soccer not well described. Purpose: This study was undertaken to investigate describe patellar elite male players evaluate potential risk factors. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Between 2001 2009, authors followed 51 European clubs (2229 players) from 3 different cohorts: Swedish First League cohort (SWE)...
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is a common overuse injury among jumping athletes. No evidence-based treatment guidelines exist. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) appears to be promising but its effectiveness has not been studied in athletes with patellar who have symptoms for 3 12 months and are still playing. Purpose: The TOPGAME study was created determine the of ESWT on pain, symptoms, function early symptomatic training competition. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial;...
Background The absence of any agreed-upon tendon health-related domains hampers advances in clinical tendinopathy research. This void means that researchers report a very wide range outcome measures inconsistently. As result, substantial synthesis/meta-analysis research findings is almost futile despite publishing busily. We aimed to determine options for, and then define, core for tendinopathy. Methods conducted Delphi study healthcare professionals (HCP) patients three-stage process. In...
This study aimed to compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 resistance programs in in-season athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT). Resistance training is noninvasive, a principle stimulus for corticospinal and neuromuscular adaptation, may be analgesic.Within-season randomized clinical trial. Data analysis was conducted blinded group.Subelite volleyball basketball competitions.Twenty jumping aged more than 16 years, participating games/trainings 3 times per week clinically diagnosed...
To compare the effectiveness of progressive tendon-loading exercises (PTLE) with eccentric exercise therapy (EET) in patients patellar tendinopathy (PT).In a stratified, investigator-blinded, block-randomised trial, 76 clinically diagnosed and ultrasound-confirmed PT were randomly assigned 1:1 ratio to receive either PTLE or EET. The primary end point was clinical outcome after 24 weeks following an intention-to-treat analysis, as assessed validated Victorian Institute Sports Assessment for...
To provide a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, imaging, treatment and prognosis for Achilles tendinopathy. make clinical recommendations healthcare practitioners patients.Comprehensive multidisciplinary guideline process funded by Quality Foundation Dutch Federation Medical Specialists. This included development, commentary authorisation phase. Patients participated in every phase.Multiple databases existing guidelines were searched up to May...
The aetiology of patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) remains unclear. To see whether landing strategy might be a risk factor for the development this injury, study examined dynamics from drop jumps differed among healthy volleyball players (CON) and with jumper's knee. patients knee were divided into an asymptomatic group previous (PJK) symptomatic recent (RJK).Inverse analyses used to estimate lower extremity joint 30, 50 70 cm in three groups (CON, n = 8; PJK, 7; RJK, 9). A univariate...
Background: The single-leg squat on a 25° decline board has been described as clinical assessment tool and rehabilitation exercise for patients with patellar tendinopathy. Several assumptions have made about its working mechanism load patellofemoral forces, but these are not substantiated by biomechanical evaluations. Aim: To investigate knee moment contact force function of angle in the squat. Methods: Five subjects performed eccentric squats at angles 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° (with/without...
The current diagnosis of overreaching and overtraining is based on exclusion. In the present paper, four possible confirmative tools have been examined in three female speed skaters between 16 19 years old. A nonfunctional overreached (NFO) athlete, an athlete who was recovering from NFO a healthy were examined. showed high stress low regeneration levels at Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes. more favorable profile, although she still higher lower recovery than control athlete. On...
Being overweight or obese is associated with an elevated risk of tendon pathology. However, for sportspeople the epidemiological data linking weight adiposity on one hand, and pathology other, are less consistent. Indeed, mechanistic links between diet, remain largely unexamined. Recent studies have begun to examine effects dietary interventions outcomes such as biomechanics pain. Oxidised low-density lipoprotein has been shown (A) accumulate in tissues mice that eat a fatty diet (B) induce...
The prevalence of tendinopathies in sports is high. etiology and pain mechanisms are not completely understood. Currently, little known whether, or to which degree, somatosensory changes within the nervous system may contribute tendinopathies. We conducted a patient controlled study we used standardized QST protocol developed by German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain. This consists seven different tests that measures 13 parameters can be seen as gold standard measure function. Twelve...
Although injury surveillance in athletics is routinely conducted, discipline-specific Achilles and patellar tendinopathy prevalence remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore identify whether injury-specific risk factors differed athletes. Elite athletes were recruited provided information on their sport training including tendon pain history. In order ascertain between-discipline differences existed, data categorized into discipline groups. Middle-distance reported the...
