Hip Muscle Strength, Range of Motion, and Functional Performance in Young Elite Male Australian Football Players
CONCLUSIONS: There were no meaningful differences between dominant and nondominant limbs for hip strength, ROM, or functional tests. Our results may be used for benchmarking young male Australian football athletes when targeting optimal strength and returning from injury.PMID:37758256 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0450 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Ankle Sprain History Does Not Significantly Alter Single- and Dual-Task Spatiotemporal Gait Mechanics
CONCLUSIONS: Ankle sprain injury history did not significantly alter spatiotemporal gait outcomes nor cognitive performance during this common clinical assessment. Future studies may consider including athletes with ankle sprain injury history during concussion assessments.PMID:37758257 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0445 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Preliminary Baseline Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening Scores in Pediatric Soccer Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Although results suggest VOMS items measure distinct components of the vestibular and ocular motor systems, caution should be taken when interpreting VOMS total and change scores in pediatric athletes, as overreporting symptoms is common, thereby impacting the false-positive rate.PMID:37758258 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0327 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effects of Collagen and Exercise on Tendon Properties and Pain: A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Sep 27:1-4. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2023-0115. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Achilles tendon ruptures are prevalent and devastating injuries that require the need for extensive rehabilitation. The methods for preventing these injuries vary between different exercise methods and nutritional supplementation. Although proven effective for decreasing pain and increasing tendon properties, the influence of these 2 methods in combination has not yet been evaluated.CLINICAL QUESTION: Does exercise combined with collagen supplementation improve Achilles tendon structural and mechanical properties ...

Impact of Attentional Focus on Dance Performance: A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Sep 27:1-7. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2023-0047. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Dancing is a demanding esthetic activity with dancers having an 85% annual injury incident rate when performing complex dance motor skills. Teachers and clinicians use a combination of external and internal attentional cues when teaching dancers motor skills and when working on rehabilitation programs with injured dancers, respectively. External attentional focus (ie, focusing on movement outcome) reportedly results in superior performance than internal attentional focus (ie, focus on body movements). Interestingl...

Does Prophylactic Stretching Reduce the Occurrence of Exercise-Associated Muscle Cramping? A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Sep 27:1-4. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2022-0374. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) are sudden, painful, and involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles during or after physical activity. The best treatment for EAMC is gentle static stretching until abatement. Stretching is theorized to relieve EAMC by normalizing alpha motor neuron control, specifically by increasing Golgi tendon organ activity, and physically separating contractile proteins. However, it is unclear if stretching or flexibility training prevents EAMC via the same mechanisms. Despite this,...

Can the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise Prevent Groin Injuries in Soccer Players? A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Sep 21:1-4. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2023-0088. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Injuries that affect the groin region are among the most common in football players. To prevent this condition, studies have focused on strengthening the adductors, hip flexors, or abdominal muscles. Recent investigations have used an eccentric-biased exercise (Copenhagen Adduction Exercise [CAE]) that promotes functional and architectural adaptations in the muscle tissue, though its effect on injury risk reduction is unknown.CLINICAL QUESTION: Can the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise prevent groin injuries in soccer...
