Despite being the most commonly incurred sports injury with a high recurrence rate, there are no guidelines to inform return sport (RTS) decisions following acute lateral ankle sprain injuries. We aimed develop list of assessment items address this gap.We used three-round Delphi survey approach consensus opinion among 155 globally diverse health professionals working in elite field or court sports. This involved surveys that were structured question format both closed-response and...
Periodic or long-term stretching programs have demonstrated changes in joint range of motion. The suggested mechanisms for these increases motion are the tissue properties muscle and more recently stretch tolerance. However, few studies examined passive resistive forces related to Purpose: purpose this study was investigate influence a 6-wk hamstring-stretching program on knee extension motion, forces, stiffness. Methods: A randomized control trial with repeated measures undertaken 43...
Background/aims There is a paucity of prospective cohort studies investigating the incidence low back pain (LBP) in rowing. We investigated (1) prevalence and LBP among international-level rowers New Zealand, (2) relationship between training volume (3) effect on rowers’ ability to train compete. Methods This was study 76 Zealand representative rowers, including 46 men (mean age 22, SD=4) 30 women 21, SD=4). Data were collected using an online questionnaire repeated monthly for 12 months....
Objective To explore clinical practice patterns of physical therapists (PTs) who treat people with Achilles tendinopathy (AT), and identify perceived barriers facilitators for prescribing engaging therapeutic exercise among PTs AT. Methods Two cross-sectional surveys were electronically distributed between November 2021 May 2022; one survey was designed while the second Survey respondents answered questions regarding their therapy training current (PTs), injury history management (people...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are a potent risk factor for post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (PTOA). Annually, in Aotearoa New Zealand, approximately 2,500 people under the age of 30 undergo ACL reconstruction surgery. Due to young injury and surgery, many develop before 50 have higher likelihood requiring total replacement compared general population. This study aimed gain insight into medium- long-term impacts rupture on people's well-being by exploring their lived experiences...
Background: Evidence is limited exploring the beliefs and application of forefoot lateral wedges (FLWs) in clinical practice by podiatric physicians. We aimed to understand rationale that guide use FLWs among podiatrists. Methods: A cross-sectional study New Zealand (NZ) podiatrists was conducted between May 31 July 26, 2021. Data were collected anonymously using a Web-based survey platform. The 30-item included questions elicit participant characteristics, why when used orthosis...
Competitive rowing is a highly aerobic sport requiring technical skills, motor coordination, adequate strength, and endurance.1,2 A number of authors13–6 have reported significant incidence low back pain among the population. This paper identifies factors that may influence onset pain. During stroke, magnitude forces on lumbar spine high. Hosea et al 7 average compressive loads 3919 N for men 3330 women, while anterior shear were found to be 848 717 women respectively. Peak during stroke...
Tibial acceleration is a surrogate measure for impact loading and lower limb fatigue injury in runners. Triaxial accelerometers may offer reliable practical measurement of resultant peak tibial (PTA). With such potential mind, this study examined variability reliability 14 runners at baseline one week, eight the again six months. were attached to distal tibiae before they ran on treadmill two minutes each, speeds 2.7, 3.0, 3.3 3.7 m/s standardised shoes. Resultant PTAs calculated each speed...
AbstractAbstractClinical assessment of meniscal pathology in the knee has proven difficult due to wide number tests available and variations their interpretation application. The purpose this paper was assess literature investigating validity diagnostic accuracy McMurray's test (and modifications) for determining so that conclusions could be drawn regarding its clinical usefulness as a test. Electronic databases (Medline, CINHAL, AMED, SPORTSDiscus, SCOPUS) were searched from March 1980 May...
To compare the accuracy of 12 maximal strength (1-repetition maximum [1-RM]) equations for predicting quadriceps in people with osteoarthritis (OA) knee joint.Eighteen subjects OA joint attended a rehabilitation gymnasium on 3 occasions: 1) familiarization session, 2) session where 1-RM was established using weights machine an open-chain extension exercise and leg press exercise, 3) performed load at which they could lift approximately 10 repetitions only. The data were used prediction to...
