Filter by:Primary Aim: Compare physiological (e.g., heart rate) and clinical responses (e.g., symptom provocation) of adolescent and adult athletes (14-35 years of age) completing either a structured treadmill running or a dynamic aerobic exertion protocol during the subacute phase of sport-related concussion recovery (3-30 days after injury). Secondary Aim: Examine potential effects of clinically-relevant factors that influence symptom responses to controlled aerobic exertion, such as age, physical activity patterns, motion sensitivities, psychological responses to injury, and sleep quality, among subjects completing controlled aerobic and dynamic exertion following sport-related concussion
In this study our objective is to compare two tibial ACL graft fixation systems in patients undergoing two different reconstructions technique (with simple and double bundle) in terms of tendon graft osteointegration, functionality and return to sports.
ACL rupture has a high morbidity in productive-age population. The increasing incidence and proper management has become a point of interest in the musculoskeletal sport injury. Choosing the best graft has become the main focus in searching for a better outcome regarding ACL reconstruction in these patient population. Currently, single bundle hamstring tendon (SBHT) autograft was preferred in Asian population compared to bone quadriceps tendon (BQT) autograft. However, there are some problems such as smaller size, as well as diameter, of SBHT. This study is focused on evaluation of the clinical outcome between BQT and SBHT in arthroscopic-assisted ACL reconstruction patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of dynamic tape in prevent shoulder muscle fatigue.
Background: To assess the impact of pre-season clinical measures and rotator muscles strength on the risk of significant shoulder injury (SSI) in elite badminton players Design: Prospective cohort study Participants: Nineteen elite adolescents badminton players were included and followed over the badminton season (from september 2018 to may 2019 and/or from september 2019 to may 2020) . Independent variables: A pre-season visit consisted in clinical and isokinetic shoulder strength testing. Clinical testing consisted in the shoulder range of motion (ROM) measurements and the table-to-acromion distance (TAD)Isokinetic internal and external rotator shoulder muscles strength was tested at 60 and 240°/s. Conventional and functional (eccentric-to-concentric) ratios (FR) were calculated. SSI collection was performed by an experienced sport physician.
The diagnosis of sports related concussion still relies heavily on a subjective assessment. In this study the investigators want to assess the prognostic value of blood-based biomarkers with recovery from concussive episodes over specific time points post-injury. Our research aims to (1) assess that the World Rugby's head injury assessment (HIA) can identify that a concussion has taken place by measuring specific biomarkers in the blood and (2) to track these biomarkers over time post-injury as a means to assess player health.
Evidence-based injury prevention training is highly effective in reducing sport-related musculoskeletal injuries in youth. However, this training has so far had limited public health impact because it is not widely or properly implemented or sustained. In this single case study with youth teams from two handball clubs in Southern Sweden, the aim is to test the I-PROTECT model, featuring injury prevention training and an associated implementation plan. The main hypothesis is that the intervention will result in higher motivational and volitional levels in relation to injury prevention training.
To our knowledge no study has evaluated neither feasible methods for the assessment of anthropometric profile nor indirect methods to estimate energy expenditure (EE) for adapted athletes. The primary aim is to develop and validate new RMR prediction models, for the estimation of the resting metabolic rate from anthropometric variables in young Mexican Paralympic athletes; our second objective is to evaluate the agreement between RMR and the prediction models of Cunningham, Harris-Benedict, Henry, Valencia, Chun, Nightingale & Gorgey, FAO/WHO, Mifflin, Müller, Owen, and our own models. A comparative cross-sectional quantitative study was designed. Participants report to the testing laboratory only once for data collection. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology criteria guidelines for cross-sectional research (STROBE) is followed in the design/reporting of this study.
The current common clinical methods cannot truly reflect the biomechanical status of the knee joint. Based on the foot-knee coupling mechanism, the simple and practical dynamic gait touch information provided by the 3D force platform are closely related to the knee biomechanics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the disease feature recognition, computer-aided diagnosis and rehabilitation assessment based on the gait touch information related to lower limb injuries.
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) may complicate the activities of sporty subjects that participate in sports that involves upper extremities activities, such as baseball, tennis, swimming, rowing, volleyball, rugby football, and weightlifting. Disability and postintervention recovery related to TOS treatment and possible surgery may have a significant impact in the overall performance abilities of athletes. This study aims to detect the early predisposition of athletes to TOS onset, by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of thoracic outlet region.
