Filter by:This research project can contribute to a deeper understanding of injury patterns among professional female ice-hockey players allowed to body check. An understanding of common injury types and mechanisms aids the clinician in diagnosis and management. This information can guide preventative strategies in the areas of education, coaching, rule enforcement, rule modifications, equipment improvement, and sportsmanship. Today, ice hockey is a sport associated with many severe injuries that not only causes suffering and lower quality of life for the athlete, but also costs society a lot of money. Reducing the number and severity of sport-related injuries is therefore of importance. Knowledge of the injury epidemiology of women's hockey could also contribute to better preventive training programs and other injury preventive actions in the sport. Currently, only a minority of all sports medicine research is made on female study participants (26). This research project has the possibility to gain more knowledge about the female athlete, not only applicable for elite hockey-players, but also for female athletes in different disciplines and in youth teams. Knowledge of factors associated with injury could also contribute to better injury preventive actions and highlight subgroups in extra need of future preventive interventions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the value of including dynamic vision testing into California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Athletics' established concussion protocol. The study's hypotheses are 1) dynamic vision testing will reveal vision impairments right after a person sustains a concussion, 2) these impairments may still be present upon clearance to return to play.
The primary objective of the pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial to determine the effect of arthroscopic soft tissue stabilization vs. non-operative management on the risk of recurrent anterior dislocation rates and functional outcomes following in patients presenting with a first-time dislocation (FTD) over a 24-month period.
Sports injuries are a very important issue for baseball players. Previous studies have found that the incidence of sports injuries faced by baseball players is continuously increasing. Sports injury rates in professional baseball, high school baseball, and college baseball players were as high as 3.6, 4.6, and 5.8 per 1,000 players, respectively. The main cause of many pitching injuries is attributed to a large number of repetitive pitches. To avoid sports injuries, it is necessary to know how to assess the risk of injury caused by repetitive pitching. Throwing is a fairly complex action that requires the coordination of the entire body. It is critical to investigate the biomechanical changes of players in order to effectively analyze such complex movements.

All the data of patients with patellar dislocation will be collected to evaluate the anatomic deformities. The data includes X-ray, CT, MRI examinations, medical records, and physical examination information. Finally, we correlate the anatomic deformities with clinical efficacy. To search for the risk factors that lead to patellar dislocation and influence the therapeutic effect.
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.
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.
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.
