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)

Treating Lateral Epicondylopathy With Dry Needling and Exercise: A Case Series
CONCLUSIONS: This case series illustrates the use of dry needling and a home exercise program to provide a favorable outcome in a patient with LE. Patients had an 80% to 100% reduction in pain and similar improvements in function that were significantly beyond the minimum clinically important difference. This dry needling approach is a safe and effective treatment of LE in the short term.PMID:38531344 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0015 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Anterior-Posterior Center of Pressure Is Associated With Knee Extensor Moment During Landing After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSIONS: The AP-COP position and VGRF were associated with the KEM during landing. Evaluating the VGRF and AP-COP position, not the lower limb joint angles, may contribute to understanding the KEM during double-leg landing after ACLR in the clinical setting.PMID:38531345 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0296 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)
