Filter by:There is enough evidence to know the high incidence of groin injuries in soccer. Despite this, there is not enough about these in women's football. The researchers perform the Copenhagen plank to obtain an improvement in the improvement of adductor strength and the reduction of groin injuries
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of the Copenhagen adduction exercise, performed at different loading intensities, on hip muscle strength development, performance, flexibility, and delayed onset muscle soreness. The study will include active taekwondo athletes between the ages of 12-18. Athletes will be randomly divided into two groups: a low-intensity Copenhagen Adduction exercise group and a high-intensity Copenhagen Adduction exercise group. Athletes in both the low-intensity and high-intensity exercise groups will perform the exercise for 8 weeks in addition to their regular training program. At the beginning of the study and at the 4th, 8th, and 16th weeks, assessments will be conducted for hip abductor and adductor eccentric and isometric muscle strength, flexibility of the hip adductors, level of delayed muscle soreness, single-leg jump test, and timed lateral hop tests. The outcome of our study will determine how much improvement is achieved in hip muscle strength and lower extremity physical fitness parameters during and after the application of the Copenhagen adduction exercise at different loading intensities.
Rink hockey teams from senior category (adults) will be recruited to implement a groin injury prevention program consisting on the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) throughout the regular season, 0 times, once or twice per week (september 2023-march 2024) Weekly team exposure to training sessions and games will be collected as well as cases of groin problems in the entire population When the season ends, the number of groin problems will be compared between teams that used the prevention program once a week against twice a week or no sessions a week.
Longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) is a common and debilitating problem in young to middle aged individuals. These patients often get referred to orthopedic departments. Consensus statements on the management of these patients commonly recommend a physical therapist-led intervention as the first line intervention. However, the optimal content and delivery of this intervention is currently unknown. In this study we will compare the effectiveness of usual care (unstructured physical therapist-led intervention) to a semi-structured, progressive individualized physical therapist-led intervention on hip-related quality of life in people with longstanding hip and groin pain referred to an orthopedic department.
Groin injuries are among the three most common and time-consuming injuries in soccer, accounting for 19% of all injuries, with 0.1-2.1 injuries per 1000 hours of play. The Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) has been showing promising results in improving Eccentric Hip Adduction Strength (EHADS), leading to reducing the risk of groin pain and injury. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint range of motion (ROM), and Patient-reported outcome measures among athletes with groin pain or injury. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the CAE improve EHAD strength, hip joint ROM, and patient-reported outcome measures among soccer players with groin pain or injury? Researchers will assess the participants' pre and post-intervention to determine the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint ROM, and Patient-reported outcome measures.
assess the difference in adductor peak strength evaluated with different instruments. Hand held dynamometer vs force frame
The study aims to compare the effects of two different adduction exercises on adduction strength. Young male football players will be individually randomized to perform one of these exercises in addition to their normal training. The two exercise protocols are of 8 weeks duration and are matched in terms of total load.
This study will investigate the reproducibility of clinical palpation, resistance and stretching tests which are currently being used for the diagnosis of longstanding groin pain in male athletes.
This study will investigate the reproducibility of a clinical diagnostic classification system for groin pain between two different examiners.
Pubalgia is a pain syndrome located in the groin area. This syndrome is mainly described in young male athletes and typically affect the superficial muscles defining the boundaries of the femoral triangle, i.e. gracilis, pectineus, adductor brevis and especially adductor longus, and less commonly the deep muscles. Clinically, the pain is located in the inner aspect of the thigh, where the tendons attach onto the pubic symphysis. It is usually unilateral, and sometimes associated with neuropathic pain suggestive of obturator nerve irritation. There is no official recommendation or expert consensus on the management of pubalgia. However, a few protocols recommend a period of rest with Non-Inflammatory Anti-Steroidien Drugs (NSAIDs), icing and massages, as well as rehabilitation with passive stretching and muscle reinforcement. The use of botulinum toxin type A could be an option in cases of treatment failure. However, a feasibility study must be performed beforehand, and if results are positive, a controlled study on a larger cohort could be conducted. The major potential impact is a great effective pain relief for patients with neurological diseases.
