Filter by:Background Nowadays, in elite demanding football, injuries are a delicate issue as affects player's availability for the teams to win games and attain trophies.Following an injury, the appropriate recovery is vital to return athletes quickly and safely to their sport, based on pre injury physical and psychological levels. Delay in rehabilitation can result in prolonged pain and a delayed return to sports, a finding that emphasizes the importance of proper rehabilitation procedure during injury recovery.On field functional rehabilitation, a key point in injury recovery in football , as presented in the definition of rehabilitation ,obtained the interaction of the person with the environment he lives and provide him/her the ability to optimize functionality. Especially in sports, the last one is applied via ecological theory in sports with a wealth of benefits for the player during injury recovery on filed. Ecological theory bring us closer to the sport from a realistic approach , can provide an explanation to many situations that arise in sports and understands the athlete as a part of his/her own surroundings. Ideally, through injury recovery , the focus should be more on the biological time needed for the injury to recover, while trying to maintain the skills of the athlete during the rehabilitation process. Adequate and appropriate cognitive and neuromuscular skills should be maintained in high level, in activities that normally occurred during training or games. In this Context, application of ecological theory in football on field functional rehabilitation provide to the player the ability to maintain this skills, according with the high demands of elite football players.The maximum retention of football specific skills and the adaptation of injured tissue in an injury football player take place on his/her natural environment of action , the field . What sports medicine community knows? Until today, disunity of opinions prevalent among sports medicine community about on filed functional rehabilitation during injury recovery.The majority of the clinicians apply on field functional rehabilitation, called as traditional on filed rehabilitation, as the late phase of injury recovery ,where the player comeback on filed activity when he had already restore maximum or the average strength and function based on pre injury screening or standard value.The progression of the player during the late phase of injury recovery based on load monitoring with (global position system) to control progression and risk of reinjury. On the contrary emphasized the opinion of the early return to filed activity that's can increase for the injury player the ability to maintain sports specific skills as much as he can during injury recovery. In the literature review there is a absence of evidence to refer to a specific framework for on field functional rehabilitation in regard of recovery an injured football player (elite or amateur ) on field. References ,with a lack of evidence ,exist only in some specific rehabilitation protocols such as muscle injury rehabilitation tendons injuries management or Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction rehabilitation as the late phase of injury recovery.Only one study, present on field functional rehabilitation framework of 5 stages based on traditional rehabilitation for short and long term injuries based on load monitoring through global position system ,as a work based on experience and lacking of evidence. Aim The overall objective of the proposed research is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of ''On FI.RE. framework'' (on filed rehabilitation framework),namely the early return to on field activities during an injury recovery. Included a specific 5 stages program-framework , and a daily session planning framework for on field functional rehabilitation. The effectiveness will evaluated with the time that the player needed to return to full participation in teams training.
Introduction: Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that is associated with symptoms such as pain, limitation of joint range and postural problems in athletes. Methods: The study design is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a minimum of 35 elite gymnasts with back pain. Two postural treatments will be implemented, Mezieres Method and Isostretching to verify if there is improvement of back pain in gymnasts and to compare both procedures. Discussion: This trial could generate a greater understanding of the importance of posture related to low back pain and its possible treatments.
This study aims to precisely describe epidemiology of injuries than occur during practice of climbing in artificial structure. Each participant will complete questionnaires in order to identify injuries. The first questionnaire will be completed at the moment of the inclusion and the second questionnaire will be completed if participant has injuries every 3 months until month 12.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the injury panorama of acute and overuse injuries in women and men who regularly participate padel. The intention is to provide insights on injury prevalence, injury location, injury consequences, gender differences and risk factors . This study will be conducted as a retrospective cohort study where the participants consist of female and male padle players, both at the recreational and competition level, with at least 6 months' experience in the sport. The information from this project can be valuable in the work of identifying risk factors for padle injuries and injury prevention strategies.
For more than a decade, worldwide participation in ultra-marathons and ultra-trails (running races longer than the 42.195 km marathon) has been increasing. Although considered benign, blisters are a common problem, with serious consequences and limiting performance. Although blisters are a major factor limiting endurance performance, they are a reason for only 5.8% of ultra-trail runners to quit. While equipment is improving and participants are increasing and intensifying their training, there is no consensus on the prevention of blisters in ultra-trail running, even though it is the number one factor limiting sports performance. There are few prospective interventional studies on the prevention of blisters during outdoor activities. On many running forums, there is the hypothesis that lemon applied to the feet prevents the appearance of blisters. This hypothesis has never been scientifically studied. The investigators hypothesize that the local application of Lemon allows a reduction in the number of blisters on ultra-trail. The objective of this Blisters-stop 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy of local application of Lemon in preventing the appearance of blisters.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of the dry needling technique and diacutaneous fibrolysis technique in teres major muscles on pain, range of motion, strength extensibility and muscular properties of the soft tissues of the shoulder in athletes with shoulder pain.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the methods of prevention of the appearance of blisters set up by the runners before and during an ultra-trail SECONDARY OBJECTIVES : To evaluate : - The main locations of blisters. - The severity of blisters - The effectiveness of prevention methods To evaluate the incidence of blisters in an ultra-trail context.
Purpose/reason of the research: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament in maintaining knee function. In patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, concomitant intra-articular lesions are usually seen. It has been reported that approximately 43% of all patients with ACL tears have associated lateral or medial meniscal injuries. Injury associated with a tear of the meniscotibial ligament in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is defined as a RAMP lesion. Because the RAMP lesion is located within the posteromedial "blind spot", it has historically been underdiagnosed. It has been reported that 9-17% of all ACL tears have RAMP lesions. RAMP lesions have been found to increase the force on the ACL. Injury to the meniscotibial ligaments has been shown to increase rotational instability of the knee. Based on the available literature, there is a discrepancy between authors regarding the repair of a RAMP lesion during an acute ACL surgery. In chronic ACL rupture, some authors have suggested that the RAMP lesion has a suitable biological environment for healing. thinks. However, excessive mobility of the meniscocapsular junction has been reported in RAMP lesions during knee flexion and extension. It has been suggested that these lesions are different from other peripheral tears and are not suitable for spontaneous healing. It is suggested that meniscal RAMP lesion repair will be the most effective approach. Rehabilitation after repair of a RAMP lesion depends on whether the repair is performed concurrently with ACL surgery. When performed with an ACL surgery, the process is followed according to the ACL rehabilitation protocol. Even if the functionality of the knee is fully restored in the post-ACL surgery period, not all patients can return to their previous level of sportive performance due to various psychological, social and physiological factors. In the literature, different information can be found as criteria for returning to sports after ACL surgery. The rate of returning to sports was reported as 65-88% in patients with ACL reconstruction, and 19-82% in patients who were followed conservatively. However, there are few studies with short- or long-term follow-up after the identification and treatment of RAMP lesions. Accordingly, our aim in this study is to comprehensively evaluate the return to sports of participants who have undergone isolated anterior cruciate ligament surgery and who have had simultaneous RAMP lesion repair with anterior cruciate ligament surgery. This assessment will provide the opportunity to examine functional capacity, balance, psychological state, activity level and pain with different measurement methods. Material and method of the research: The study will consist of 2 groups, including 12 participants who have undergone isolated ACL surgery and 12 participants who have had simultaneous RAMP lesion repair in Istanbul Medipol Mega Hospitals Complex Orthopedics and Traumatology Unit, with a total of 24 participants.
This study evaluates if the physiotherapy treatment based on combination of therapeutic exercise program and ultrasound-guided PNE on chronic soleous injuries may cause changes in pain, dorsal flexion of the ankle and muscle fatigue in female dance
Roller Hockey is a sport played on a 40*20 metres rink characterized by combined periods of high intensity and short breaks, there´s a lack of epidemiological studies in this field. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Through an online survey filled by semiprofessional athletes, it is posible to obtain all this important information. This way, it will be possible to fulfill a gap in the literature and take action in the near future in order to reduce the prevalence of injuries in this sport.
