Filter by:Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in basketball, especially involving repetitive maneuvers such as acceleration, deceleration, jumping, and landing. The incidence of ankle sprain is 40% in female basketball players and 75% in male basketball players. It is also known that chronic ankle instability (CAI) develops in 20-40% of cases. The effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players have been investigated in the literature, and it has been stated that more studies are needed on the subject. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of chronic ankle instability on core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility in basketball players playing in the university team. The hypothesis of the study is that there is a difference between core stabilization, dynamic balance and agility values of basketball players playing in the university team with and without chronic ankle instability.
The purpose of this study is to check reliability and validity, of translated Urdu version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool develop and test its psychometric properties and responsiveness in Urdu speaking population in Pakistan endure with Ankle sprain and ankle instability complaints.
The goal of this prospective, open label study is the construction and the evaluation of a composite score evaluating the residual instability in patients who have undergone an ankle's ligamentoplasty (the Ankle Go Test score). The main hypothesis of this study is based on the fact that the composite score "Ankle Go Test" would allow a global validation of all the criteria of scores of 4 tests and 2 questionnaires, which are performed in common pratice, evaluating the instability of the ankle after an ankle ligamentoplasty. Participants will have to complete 2 questionnaires (FAAM, ALR RS) and to undergoe 4 tests (Single Leg Stance Test, Side Hop Test, Start Excursion Balance Test, La figure of 8), at 4, 6 and 12 months post surgery. Researchers will compare the group of participants who undergone ankle's ligamentoplasty with a group of healthy volunteers to assess the discriminant validity of the Ankle Go Test score
The specific aims of this study are to: - describe how many heel raises and side hops TG athletes of various ages can perform and how far they can jump, one leg at a time. - examine how calf muscle endurance and hop performance are related to the risk of new injuries in the foot, ankle, and lower leg in TG athletes. The investigators hypothesise that atletes with superior performance in the tests for muscular endurance and hop performance will report fewer injuries during the follow up period.
Investigators designed this randomized controlled trial to compare the clinical outcomes of open and arthroscopic modified Broström operation for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid, or STABHA™, has demonstrated varying degrees efficacy in patients treated for common musculoskeletal tendinopathies and ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Factors associated with prognosis following treatment remain largely unknown. Identifying appropriate patient populations for use of STABHA™ is a necessary first step to facilitate the design of future clinical trials in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal soft-tissue injuries.
This randomized controlled trial will compare the mid- and long-term effects of group-based training programs with usual individual physiotherapy care for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in military. One hundred and twenty soldiers presenting one of the four targeted musculoskeletal disorders (low back pain, rotator cuff related pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome or lateral ankle sprain) will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a 12-weeks group-based training program or 12-weeks usual individual physiotherapy care.
Investigators designed this prospective cohort study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.
Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.
