Context: Postural stability is the ability to control center of mass in relation a person's base support and can be affected by both musculoskeletal injury traumatic brain injury. The NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test (SOT) used objectively quantify impairments postural stability. predict as an acute injury-evaluation tool makes it essential screening rehabilitation process. To our knowledge, no published normative data for SOT from healthy, highly active population are available use...
Triathlons are a popular endurance sport with an elevated injury risk. Prevalence for injuries in triathletes varies greatly and is thought to be related racing distance. The most common occur the lower-extremities considered overuse nature. primary purpose of this study was examine patterns prevalence among during 2022 season. This adopts epidemiological approach using retrospective survey better understand prevalence, nature, triathletes. A live online questionnaire developed that...
In Brief Tailored treatment based on individual risk factors is an area with promise to improve options for pain relief. Musculoskeletal has a biopsychosocial nature, and multiple should be considered when determining chronic pain. This study investigated whether subgroups comprised genetic psychological predicted outcomes in preclinical clinical models of shoulder Classification regression tree analysis was performed exercise-induced injury cohort (n = 190) identify high-risk subgroups,...
The pain experience has multiple influences, but little is known about how specific biological and psychological factors interact to influence responses. current study investigated the combined influences of genetic (pro-inflammatory) on several preclinical shoulder phenotypes.An exercise-induced injury model was used, a priori selected (IL1B, TNF/LTA region, IL6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)) (anxiety, depression symptoms, catastrophizing, fear pain, kinesiophobia) were included as...
Abstract Context: Rehabilitation protocols involving eccentric resistance exercise performed with loading more than 100% concentric 1-repetition maximum are effective in increasing muscle function both healthy and injured populations. The mode of (isokinetic versus isotonic) may be an important factor limiting symptoms delayed-onset soreness improving after training. Objective: To compare functional symptomatic responses eccentric-only (ECC) isotonic protocol a combined concentric-eccentric...
Context: Athletic trainers use clinical pain and range of motion (ROM) to gauge recovery after musculoskeletal injury. Limited evidence date suggests which shoulder ROM measures can predict symptomatic relief functional delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Objective: To determine whether passive internal rotation, external active abduction, flexion evoked with abduction are associated resting experienced exercise-induced DOMS. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: Controlled...
Exercise-induced injury models are advantageous for studying pain since the onset of is controlled and both pre-injury post-injury factors can be utilized as explanatory variables or predictors. In these studies, rest-related often considered primary dependent variable outcome, opposed to a measure activity-related pain. Additionally, few studies include sensitivity measures this study, we examined influence factors, including sensitivity, induced rest following exercise muscle injury. The...
Background Musculoskeletal injuries are a significant burden to United States Army Special Operations Forces. The advanced tactical skill level and physical training required of Operators highlights the need optimize musculoskeletal characteristics reduce likelihood suffering recurrent injury. Purpose To identify residual impact previous injury on characteristics. Study Design Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods Isokinetic strength knee, shoulder, back flexibility shoulder...
We investigated interactions between genetic and psychological factors in predicting shoulder impairment phenotypes. hypothesized that pro-inflammatory genes would display stronger relationships compared with pain-related when combined for phenotypic changes.Altogether, 190 participants completed a 5-day experimental protocol. An injury model was used to induce physical impairment, priori selected (pain-related, pro-inflammatory) (anxiety, depressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing, fear of...
Predicting recovery following muscle injury can be difficult because it involves consideration of multiple factors. Our objective was to determine if psychological factors, sex, and peak pain disability ratings could predictive delayed induced injury. Healthy untrained volunteers (n=126; M:F 51:75) underwent a concentric/eccentric isokinetic exercise protocol on their dominant shoulder induce fatigue, with individuals who reported (>0/10) at 96 h being classified as "not recovered"....
Background This study examined the efficacy of short-term alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) monotherapy supplementation immediately prior to moderate- and high-intensity single bout exercise performance.Methods Thirteen resistance trained men (22.8 ± 2.5 years; 81.6 12.6 kg) participated in a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled crossover experiment. Each subject completed one familiarization four experimental trials with either 1.5 g or 9.0 KIC isocaloric control (CONT),...
Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common injuries in recreational runners, with significant implications for dynamic knee valgus. The valgus angle can be corrected surgically or a more conservative non-operative approach. Increasing running cadence may an effective biomechanical gait retraining intervention to reduce and thus patellofemoral pain. primary purpose this study was examine if increase could change angle.
Musculoskeletal injuries are a significant burden to US Army Special Operations Command. The advanced tactical skill level and physical training required of USASOC Forces Soldiers highlight the need improve suboptimal musculoskeletal characteristics, particularly following injury reduce likelihood suffering recurrent preventable injury. PURPOSE: To identify residual impact previous on characteristics. METHODS: A total 106 were enrolled in this study. Isokinetic strength knee, shoulder, back...
