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...

The Effect of Staged Versus Usual Care Physiotherapy on Knee Function Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSION: A staged approach to ACLR rehabilitation does not appear to impede knee function at 6 months postoperative but may result in worse patient reported outcomes at early follow-ups.PMID:37699588 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0343 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Smartphone Clinometer Application for Measuring Scapular Rotations in Subjects With and Without Shoulder Pain
CONCLUSION: The Clinometer app is reliable and valid for measuring scapular UR throughout and for scapular tilt at lower humeral elevation angles. The MDD90 values for scapular rotations computed in this study can be helpful in rehabilitation planning and future research.PMID:37643757 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0005 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)
