<h3>Background</h3> Knee injuries end many careers among female soccer players. The number of can be anticipated to increase because the increasing popularity sport worldwide and higher incidence knee young females compared with males. <h3>Methods</h3> In a community-based intervention trial performed from February 1 through October 31, 2007, we sought reduce players aged 13 19 years (N = 1506), representing 97 teams 2 Swedish counties. A physical exercise program designed exclusively for...

Comparisons across studies of generalized joint hypermobility are often difficult since there several classification methods and methodological differences in the performance exist. The Beighton score is most commonly used has been tested for inter- intra-rater reliability. Contompasis Hospital del Mar criteria have not yet evaluated aim this study was to investigate reliability measurements range motion joints included these three assessment using a structured protocol.The planned...

Abstract Introduction Pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy is a major public health concern. For too many women, the condition causes disability and sick leave, has negative impact on daily life, breeds doubt their view as mother, partner, worker. The pathophysiology unknown causal treatment lacking. Depression common, undertreated, previously associated with pelvic unclear direction. Material methods A prospective inception cohort study of 356 Swedish women examined them early late pregnancy....

Abstract Background Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is common during pregnancy but the causes remain poorly understood. Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) an inherited trait, with mobility beyond normal limits and assumed to be related PGP. The aim of this project was study association between self-reported GJH presence PGP pregnancy. Methods In cohort study, 4884 Swedish-speaking women were consecutively recruited at their first visit for registration in national antenatal screening programme...

Abstract Introduction Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) affects approximately 50% of pregnant women. The mechanisms are multifactorial but not fully understood. Women with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) may be vulnerable to load in the pelvic joints during pregnancy. Our aim was investigate if women GJH had an increased risk PGP and higher intensity after pregnancy, compared normal mobility. We also studied body mass index (BMI) early pregnancy influenced that risk. Material methods A...

Abstract Background The assessment of generalized joint hypermobility is difficult due to differences in classification methods and the performance mobility assessment. primary aim was evaluate validity self-reported five-part questionnaire, 5PQ, for identifying using Beighton score as reference test. secondary describe how angles measured degrees included varied different cut-off levels 5PQ score. Methods A cross-sectional study with a total 301 women early pregnancy, mean age 31 years,...

Background Generalized joint hypermobility is an inherited collagen phenotype based on clinical assessments of mobility. However, there no international consensus to define generalized hypermobility, both considering which mobility tests should be included and limits for hypermobility. Objectives The primary aim the study was identify a subset A further evaluate standardized classification in different types throughout body. Methods total 255 early pregnant women were study. Joint measured...
