Filter by: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.
The aims of the study are to describe the injury patterns among recreational skiers and snowboarders in China and to provide primary data to guide the reconstruction of regional healthcare facilities to deal with the increasing number of participants in snow sports.
This project is planned to be based on the medical insurance database collected by the China Health Insurance Research Association (CHIRA). As a national academic research institution, CHIRA collects medical insurance patient data, covering more than 20 provinces across the country. The data of more than 60 municipalities, provincial capitals, and prefecture-level cities are unique and authoritative in my country. Based on the CHIRA database, big data analysis for Chinese sports medicine patients, starting from the names of medical institutions, admission/discharge diagnosis and classification of medical items, etc., to investigate the development trend of arthroscopic surgery in China and understand my country's arthroscopic diseases The distribution characteristics and changing trends of the quantity.
The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (symptom, cognitive, visual, motor). The investigators aim to recruit 200 rugby players (male and female) from University Rugby Union teams and local amateur rugby clubs in the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between digital methods and against traditional assessment.
This study is comparing total intravenous anesthesia with propofol with a regional nerve block against general anesthesia with a regional nerve block on the primary endpoint of time to meet discharge criteria.
The overall purpose of this study is to quantify the effect and retention of one-week training of falling techniques on landing biomechanics associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading compared to soft-landing techniques in young recreational athletes. The secondary purpose is to assess the safety of the training program. Aim 1: To quantify the effect of one-week training of falling techniques on landing biomechanics during forward, lateral, vertical, and diagonal landings compared to soft-landing techniques. We hypothesize that falling techniques will result in increased knee flexion angles and decreased landing forces, knee abduction and internal rotation angles, and knee moments for all landing directions compared to soft-landing techniques immediately after the training. Aim 2: To assess the retention effects of the falling techniques on landing biomechanics compared to soft landings. We hypothesize that the effects of falling techniques on ACL loading variables will be more highly retained compared to soft-landing techniques two weeks after the training. Aim 3: To identify the safety of the training program. We hypothesize that participants can complete the training without suffering minor, moderate, or major injuries, while occasional minor bruises might be observed.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common knee injury, which seriously affects the living ability and sport level of the injured. ACL reconstruction is the main method to treat ACL injury. Due to the reconstructive ligament needs a tendon bone healing and ligament maturation, therefore, in the ACL anatomical study, reconstruction surgery and reconstruction materials under the condition of constant progress, how to improve the ACL reconstruction of tendon bone healing and shorten the time of the ligament mature, improve the clinical effect of ACL reconstruction, has become the focus in the ACL reconstruction. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is full of growth factors and bioactive factors, which has the function of promoting tissue healing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. At the same time of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, using autologous PRP in the bone channel might promote tendon bone healing and ligament maturing after ACL reconstruction, promote the recovery of proprioception, prevent bone channel expanding, shorten the postoperative recovery time, speed up the patients recovery exercise ability, improve the clinical effect of ACL reconstruction. In this study, patients with ACL injuries were randomly divided into two groups: one group underwent ACL anatomical reconstruction, and the other group underwent ACL anatomical reconstruction with PRP. Various clinical scores, KT-2000, Biodex and imaging tests were used to evaluate the differences in the clinical effects of the two surgical methods in terms of postoperative pain, joint swelling, knee function, joint stability, muscle strength recovery, bone channel expanding, ligament vasinization, and ligament maturation.
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 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.
