No Association Between Injury-Related Fear and Isokinetic Quadriceps Strength in Individuals With a History of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSIONS: There was no association between kinesiophobia and peak isokinetic quadriceps strength in individuals at least 1 year post-ACLR. Both factors, independently, have been shown to influence risk of secondary injury in patients after ACLR.PMID:38604600 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0308 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effective Stretching Positions of the Piriformis Muscle Evaluated Using Shear Wave Elastography
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the position in which the PM was most stretched was maximum external rotation with 110° hip flexion and 40° hip adduction.PMID:38593993 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0240 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Validity and Reliability of Handheld Dynamometry to Assess Isometric Hamstrings and Quadriceps Strength at Varying Muscle Lengths
CONCLUSIONS: The use of a HHD is supported in the clinical setting to measure knee muscle strength at varying muscle lengths in healthy adults, but not for the hamstrings in a lengthened position (hip flexed and knee extended). These results will have to be confirmed in sport-specific populations.PMID:38560999 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0256 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)
