NCT ID: NCT05356065 Completed - Sports Injury Clinical Trials

The Turkish Version of the OSTRC Questionnaires

Start date: January 26, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Exposure to repetitive activities and heavy workloads makes athletes vulnerable to overuse injuries over time. Well-timed detection of these injuries is crucial to maintaining their sports career healthily. The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaires for Overuse Injury (OSTRC-O) and Health Problems (OSTRC-H) are universally used as valid and reliable tools in athlete health screening. This study aims to make them available for Turkish athletes. The internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity of the questionnaires were analyzed. Data were obtained from 72 athletes from different sports types. 33 participants were screened weekly for six weeks to detect score changes and calculate effect sizes. Participants filled out the OSTRC-O, the OSTRC-H, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for validity analyses. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability values were very high for both questionnaires. There was a moderate correlation between OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H scores with CMDQ and NHP. The area under the curve (AUC) values were adequate for all scales. The effect size values were moderate for all scales. Turkish versions of the OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H questionnaires are valid and reliable tools for Turkish-speaking athletes in different sports branches.

NCT ID: NCT05264597 Completed - ACL Injury Clinical Trials

Hamstring Stiffness After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

ACLSTIFF
Start date: January 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The role of hamstring has been studied in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention, mainly to counteract the anterior tibial translation , especially when contracting eccentrically, but also with passive stiffness. However, little is known about the passive hamstring stiffness after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the passive stiffness of hamstring muscles after ACLR by using an isokinetic device. Secondary, we aimed to test the individual and surgical characteristics associated with hamstring stiffness and the impact of hamstring stiffness on RTS and knee re-injury. The hypotheses are that hamstring stiffness will be lower in the ACLR leg compared to the uninjured leg and to healthy individuals. Also, we hypothesized that hamstring stiffness will be lower after hamstring autograft compared to patellar tendon autograft and will increase progressively after ACLR to be symmetrical at the time for RTS. Also, we hypothesized that hamstring stiffness could be associated with better outcomes at RTS (RTS at same level and lower re-injury rates)

NCT ID: NCT05256186 Completed - Clinical trials for Sports Physical Therapy

Effectiveness of Basketball Pre-injury Attack Program to Reduce the Susceptibility of Injury in Youth Basketball Players

DPL2
Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Basketball is an impact, coordination-opposition sport with continuous contact among players and it is considered a sport of medium-high injury incidence. Players are force to have a physical condition appropriate to their practice and the demand to which they must respond due to the intensity of the efforts this sport requires. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to establish an evaluation protocol that allows the detection of functional deficiencies, to guide and conduct in a specific and early way every moment of players' health and growth. The purpose of this study is to design, apply and analyze the effectiveness of a specific and individualized therapeutic exercise program (Basketball Pre-injury Attack) based on the approach of the functional deficiencies detected by the Basketball Injury Defense, to reduce the susceptibility to injury of youth basketball players (U14 - U17).

NCT ID: NCT05254470 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Real-World Experience of Patients Treated for Musculoskeletal Injuries With SAM in Routine Care

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.

NCT ID: NCT05247359 Completed - Sport Injury Clinical Trials

Neuromuscular Deficits in Jump-Landing Technique in Young Basketball

ALFUSABA
Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Basketball is a team sport that requires specific motor skills to develop different technical-tactical actions. Within the specific movements, landings after a jump are very common and require optimal technical performance, good stability and symmetry. Alterations in these components have been linked to an increased risk of injury. The objective of the present study is to identify functional alterations in the jump / landing technique that basketball players present. Cross-sectional study carried out from Septembre to Juny. The participants were basketball players aged 12 to 14 years. The main variables were: ankle stability, dynamic knee valgus, central stability, symmetry of the lower extremities. The tests used were: Abalakov Test, Single Hop Test for distance, Single-leg vertical countermovement jump test, Cross Over Hop test, One Leg Balance Test.

NCT ID: NCT05236127 Completed - Clinical trials for Intermittent Fasting

The Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Acute Subconcussive Head Impacts

Start date: January 23, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of intermittent fasting on the acute neural responses to subconcussive head impacts. The study is designed to identify the effects of 20 controlled soccer headings in college-aged soccer players in one of four groups (fasted, pre-fasted, post-fasted, or control) through the use of neural-injury blood biomarkers, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, functional, and diffusion MRI, and ocular-motor function across 4 acute time points. The central hypothesis is that the neuronal structural, physiological, and functional impairments from the subconussive head impacts will be lessened by intermittent fasting either before or after the soccer headings. The neural-injury blood biomarkers neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), and Tau will be measured in serum, with the hypothesis that fasting prior to the 20 soccer headings will result in a decreased heightened response compared to the post-heading fasted group and the controls. It is also hypothesized that repetitive subconcussive head impacts will impair neurocognitive function, as measured by regional changes in fMRI activation during a working memory task in the fasted groups. Twenty headings will significantly alter fMRI activation in the fasted groups from baseline. This impairment will not be observed in the control group. White matter microstructure will be measured by diffusion imaging metrics, with the hypothesis that 20 soccer headings will significantly disrupt microstructure in the fasted groups compared to baseline, but not in the control group. The study will also assess neuro-opthalmologic function as measured by the King-Devick test (KDT) and oculomotor function as measured by near-point-of-convergence (NPC) in response to subconcussive head impacts. The hypothesis is that NPC performance will be significantly impaired for longer than 24 hours in all the groups, but this impairment will be greater in the control group, and that the learning curve and expected improvement of KDT will be significantly blunted in both groups, with a display worsening in the control group.
