Achilles (AT) and patellar tendons (PT) are commonly affected by tendinopathy in adult athletes but prevalence of symptoms morphological changes adolescents is unclear. The study aimed to determine intratendinous ATs PTs adolescent athletes. A total 760 (13.0 ± 1.9 years; 160 13 cm; 50 14 kg) were examined. History, local clinical examination, longitudinal Doppler ultrasound analysis for both performed including identification echoic vascularization. Diagnosis was complied clinically case...
The therapeutic efficacy of non-surgical treatment strategies in Achilles tendinopathy (AT) has not been well clarified. Time-consuming and costly combinations for pain, physiotherapy biomechanical procedures are often applied.To analyse the single regimens commonly used over a short period 4 weeks.31 male runners (mileage >32 km/week) with unilateral, untreated AT completed weeks either (10 treatments: deep-friction, pulsed ultrasound, ice, sensory motor training; (P)), wearing custom fit...
Scaffold-assisted autologous chondrocyte implantation is a clinically effective procedure for cartilage repair, but biomechanical evaluations are still missing.This study was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy, including analyses, of BioSeed-C treatment traumatic and degenerative defects knee.Case series; Level evidence, 4.The authors evaluated midterm outcome BioSeed-C, cell-based fibrin-polymer graft defects. Clinical at 4-year follow-up assessed in 52 patients with full-thickness...
Introduction Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (MPT) is a common problem in running athletes. Nevertheless, its etiology not fully understood, and no valid prognostic criterion to predict the development of MPT could be identified date. The purpose present study, therefore, was evaluate whether power Doppler ultrasonography (PDU) suitable method identify predisposition yet asymptomatic runners. Methods At 23 major events, 634 long-distance runners were tested for tendon thickness,...
Foot orthoses are frequently used in sports for the treatment of overuse complaints with sufficient evidence available certain foot-related pathologies like plantar fasciitis, rheumatoid arthritis and foot pain (e.g., metatarsalgia). One important aim is to reduce pressure under prominent areas metatarsal heads. For forefoot region, mainly two common strategies exist: pad (MP) cushioning (FC). The this study was evaluate which these orthosis concepts superior reducing during...
Background and objectives Treatment of chronic running-related overuse injuries by orthopaedic shoe orthoses is very common but not evidence-based to date. Hypothesis Polyurethane foam adapted a participant's barefoot plantar pressure distribution are an effective treatment option for in runners. Design Prospective, randomised, controlled clinical trial. Intervention 51 patients with running were treated custom-made, semirigid 8 weeks. 48 served as randomised control group that continued...
The prevalence of patellar tendinopathy is elevated in elite soccer compared to less explosive sports. While the burden training hours and load comparably high youth players (age < 23 years), little known about at this age. There only data available on influence age, amount training, position field, as well muscular strength, range motion, or sonographical findings age group. purpose present study was examine above-mentioned parameters all groups a German academy. One hundred nineteen male...
Surgical nurses' work is physically and mentally demanding, possibly leading to work-family conflict (WFC). The current study tests WFC be a risk factor for neck lower back pain (LBP). Job influence social support are tested as resources that could buffer the detrimental impact of WFC.Forty-eight surgical nurses from two university hospitals in Germany Switzerland were recruited. was assessed with Work-Family Conflict Scale. Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, North American Spine Society...
Racing drivers require multifaceted cognitive and physical abilities in a multitasking situation. A knowledge of their capacities may help to improve fitness performance.To compare reaction time, stability performance capacity, strength capacity élite racing with those age-matched, physically active controls.Eight 10 controls matched for age weight were tested determination test requiring upper lower extremity responses visual audio cues. Further tests comprised evaluation one-leg postural...
It still remains unclear whether muscular activity on the treadmill (T) differs compared to overground (O) running. The purpose of this study was therefore examine possible differences in activation between T and O. 14 healthy runners wer
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the frequency tendinopathy-typical Doppler sonographic changes in Achilles tendons long distance runners and correlate these findings with anamnestic anthropometric data subjects.1906 953 were examined by ultrasound power (Toshiba Aplio SSA-770A/ 80 12 MHz). Ultrasound images (spindle-shaped thickening, hypoechoic/hyperechoic lesions, neovascularizations) analyzed relation runners' anthropometrical history tendon complaints.In asymptomatic...
