Filter by:This study is aimed at improving health outcomes for adolescents who sustain sport and recreation related concussions (SRRC) by enhancing Return to Learn (RTL). The study will conduct a quasi-experimental school-based 2 phase study involving 200 students with SRRC. The first phase will be descriptive to evaluate current standards (n=50). Phase 2 will compare students whod receive either standard of care RTL (n=75) or RTL augmented by a communication tool (RTC+; n=75).
Ankle sprain in children is a very common pathology. Currently in France, a standard X-ray is done in almost all cases. However, the literature has for several years validated the consideration of the Ottawa ankle rules in children to avoid the realization of these X-rays. Our study is an evaluation of clinical practice. The aim is to assess the impact of the implementation of a new protocol using the Ottawa ankle rules from the age of 5. In particular, radiographic sparing and absence of diagnostic error.
This study seeks to determine the prevalence of knee and ankle tendinopathies in youth basketball players, as well as determine the efficacy of a Basketball specific Neuromuscular training warm-up in reducing injuries.
A study is proposed to test whether adding additional referees to youth soccer matches may reduce the risk of injury to the children playing soccer. Publicly-open youth soccer games will be randomly assigned to have either one or three referees and videotaped. The videotaped games will then be watched to record risk-taking behavior by players, referee decisions, and other factors relevant to potential injury.
Adolescent brains undergo rapid and significant changes in structural architecture and functional organization during development. A concussive injury during this developmental period can have substantial physiological and cognitive ramifications. If not adequately managed, adolescent concussions can have profound long-term effects. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ketone supplementation after a concussion will reduce long-term consequences and improve short-term functional status and outcomes in adolescents who have suffered a concussion.
This three-year study will determine the effectiveness of a helmetless tackling training intervention to decrease head impact exposure in Hawaiian high school football players.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a neuromuscular training program in decreasing sport and recreational injuries and improving healthy outcomes in junior high school students (grades 7 to 9). The neuromuscular training program is implemented as a 15-minute warm-up at the beginning of the students' physical education classes over a three-month period. This study is a randomized controlled trial design, involving twelve schools over a three-year period. Upon enrolment into the study, schools are randomly assigned to the intervention (neuromuscular training) group, or the control group. The control group includes a standard-of practice warm-up consisting of aerobic components and static stretching. A study athletic therapist visits the schools each week to assess and record information on any injuries sustained by study participants. Baseline health and physical fitness is measured at baseline, and again at 3-month follow-up in study participants to assess changes over the course of the program.
