There is an absence of high-quality evidence to support rehabilitation and return-to-sport decisions following shoulder injuries in athletes. The Athlete Shoulder Consensus Group was convened lead a consensus process that aimed produce best-practice guidance for clinicians, athletes, coaches managing sport. We developed the via 2-round Delphi (involving more than 40 content methods experts) in-person meeting. This statement provides with respect load risk management, supporting athlete...
Shoulder pain as a result of rotator cuff pathology is one the most common musculoskeletal complaints presenting within primary care. Assessment hand grip strength has been proposed an indicator function. This experimental study assessed relationship between and shoulder lateral muscle in number different positions, aiming to investigate whether such existed could be used functional assessment tool for posterior cuff.Twenty-seven healthy, physically active, volunteers (19 males, eight...
BACKGROUND:Disorders associated with the rotator cuff are regarded as most common shoulder pain presentation. The range of diagnostic terms used to explain this problem reflect uncertainty in relation causative mechanisms, diagnosis, prognosis, and effective treatments. aim t his consensus exercise was facilitate a shared understanding means reducing mixed messages, informing clinical practice providing foundation for future research. METHODS:Nine physiotherapists academic expertise...
Background Data on upper limb injuries in elite female rugby athletes are limited. This study aims to describe the incidence, severity and burden of over five seasons women’s at both club international levels training matches. Methods A longitudinal cohort was conducted from 2017/2018 2021/2022 seasons, involving players English top tier team. were reported by team medical staff, capturing injury type, location, mechanism. Injury incidence calculated per 1000 hours match/training exposure,...
Abstract Elias JE. The inter-rater reliability of the functional movement screen within an athletic population using untrained raters. J Strength Cond Res 30(9): 2591–2599, 2016—The (FMS) is a commonly used screening tool designed to identify restrictions patterns and increased injury risk 7 predesigned tests. purpose this study was analyze scoring FMS group “untrained” subjects. Additionally, also examined if clinical experience level had any effect on reliability. Twenty fully qualified...
In the literature, little is known about level and pattern of rugby injuries. Of shoulder injuries reported, 51% these are caused during a tackle, 65% all match affected shoulder.The study aims to describe sport-specific unique intra-articular pathology professional players, who presented with persistent pain dysfunction despite physiotherapeutic treatment rest.This retrospective analysis set at university sports medicine clinic. Eighty-seven referred by their medical team since they could...
Context Compromise to the acromiohumeral distance has been reported in participants with subacromial impingement syndrome compared healthy participants. In clinical practice, patients shoulder are given strengthening programs targeting lower trapezius (LT) and serratus anterior (SA) muscles increase scapular posterior tilt upward rotation. We first use neuromuscular electrical stimulation stimulate these muscle groups evaluate how contraction affects distance. Objective To investigate if of...
To examine the diagnostic accuracy of standard clinical tests for shoulder in recreational athletes with activity related pain. Cohort study index test examination and reference arthroscopy. Sports Medicine clinic Sheffield, U.K. 101 (82 male, 19 female; mean age 40.8 ± 14.6 years) over a six year period. Bilateral evaluation movements followed by standardized tests, formulation diagnosis arthroscopy conducted same surgeon. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio positive over-all was...
Epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of shoulder injuries is increasing in rugby and majority are related to contact/tackle phase play. However, no data currently exists describes preparatory muscle activity during tackle. This information could aid guiding training rehabilitation, if available. The purpose study was assess sequence onset EMG selected scapulohumeral muscles 15 healthy professional players participated study. Surface assessed for timing relative time impact a...
The study objective was to assess the influence of a SLAP lesion on onset EMG activity in shoulder muscles during front rugby football tackle within professional players.Mixed cross-sectional evaluating between and group differences times. Testing carried out physiotherapy department university sports medicine clinic. test consisted 7 players with clinically diagnosed lesions, later verified arthroscopy. reference 15 uninjured full time from same playing squad. Controlled tackles were...
A previous study on shoulder pain mapping showed specific patterns for common disorders. This aimed to test those accuracy, modify as needed, and observe their reliability validity.This prospective used a two-step process was undertaken determine its potential utility in daily practice. New patients marked pain, character severity, custom-made form. Then researcher blinded the diagnoses gave estimations basis of previously established maps, they were correlated with final diagnoses....
Shoulder pain or injury is the most common issue facing elite competitive swimmers and frequent reason for missed modified training. Literature suggests that highly repetitive upper limb loading leads to inappropriate adaptations within shoulder complex. The likely maladaptations occur are variations in rotational range of motion, reduction joint position sense shortened pectoralis minor length. This has yet have been confirmed experimental studies. aim this study was investigate short-term...
Context : Muscular power output of the upper limb is a key aspect athletic and sporting performance. Maximal describes ability to immediately produce with maximal velocity at point release, impact, or takeoff, research highlighting that greater an athlete’s power, improvement in Despite importance upper-limb for performance, there presently no gold-standard test force development Objective The aim this study was investigate test–retest reliability plate–derived measures countermovement...
Context: Hip adduction and abduction strength plays an important role in the treatment prevention of groin injuries football players. Currently there are no reliable baseline values for uninjured player’s hip adduction: muscle ratios. Objective: To examine whether normal ratios can be established compare this data, establish if is asymmetry between dominant non-dominant limb. Methods: Twenty, English Premier League academy players 18.45 (± 2.06) years, 72.6 5.56) kg, 180.15 7.97) cm, 3 left...
Social cues, such as eye gaze and pointing fingers, can increase the prioritisation of specific locations for cognitive processing.A previous study using a manual reaching task showed that, although both cues altered target (reaction times [RTs]), only affected action execution (trajectory deviations).These differential effects on could be because cue was conveyed through disembodied head; hence, model lacked potential body part (i.e., hands) to interact with target.In present study, image...
To identify posture types that exist in professional rugby players, and compare them with a population of non-overhead athletes order to possible relationships towards the potential for shoulder injuries. Observational design Setting: Sports Medicine Clinic Participants: Convenience sample Methodology: Static assessment was carried out standing, active passive range glenohumeral motion, isometric strength accordance previously recorded protocols. Nil Outcome Measures: classification posture,...
Shoulder injuries within the collision sport of rugby not only result in significant time loss from competition but also have a high reoccurrence rate. Rehabilitation these athletes forms critical element both returning them to and reducing risk further injury. This review outlines problems which clinicians encounter managing strategies overcome them.
