Understanding the Sociocognitive Determinants Underlying Intentions to Exercise for Postconcussion Symptom Relief: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
CONCLUSIONS: This study found that people's intention to participate in a program of exercise postconcussion recovery is shaped by individual psychological factors and identified program design features that could be adjusted for increased engagement. Program success could be maximized through strategies such as supporting individuals to have a stronger sense of control over their participation through the choice of session timing or frequency and harnessing the influence of significant others via supportive messaging from key professionals.PMID:37591504 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0017 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Conservative Approach to Treating American Football Players With Medial Collateral Ligament Grade 2 Sprain During the Season
CONCLUSIONS: In this case series, 2 patients competing in intercollege American Football were treated with PRT and progressive loading exercises to facilitate return to unrestricted activities and improve outcome measures. Commonly, a grade 2 medial collateral ligament sprain is conservatively treated with return to sport taking 20 days on average. In this type 2 case series, the clinician found success utilizing PRT early in the recovery process, which in these 2 cases lead to restoration of function, outcome measure improvement, and an expedited return to sport. The expedited return to sport occurred at an average of 18 ...

Return to Sport and Clinical Outcomes Following Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation in Baseball Players and Gymnasts With Unstable Osteochondritis Dissecans: A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Aug 9:1-6. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2022-0446. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is a condition occurring at the elbow and often seen in both baseball players and gymnasts due to the repetitive loading of the radiocapitellar joint. Treatment options for OCD vary and are dependent on lesion presentation, elbow motion, and growth plate maturity. OCD lesions categorized as unstable can be treated with an osteochondral autograft transplantation surgery (OATS).FOCUSED CLINICAL QUESTION: In an adolescent population, what are the return to sport rates ...

Effect of Low-Load Blood Flow Restriction Training on Patients With Functional Ankle Instability: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Over 6 weeks, LL-BFR training was as effective as HLT in improving ankle muscle strength, muscle thickness, and balance in FAI patients, but LL-BFR training improved the ankle eversion muscle strength and dynamic balance more than HLT did in the early stages of the intervention. This finding will provide a new intervention strategy for the clinical rehabilitation of FAI patients.PMID:37558223 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0462 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effects of A Single Balance Training Session on Neural Excitability in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability
CONCLUSION: After a single session of balance training, individuals with CAI initiated increases in spinal reflex modulation and corticospinal excitability of the soleus. Thus, individuals with CAI who undergo balance training exhibit positive neural adaptations that are linked to improvements in balance performance.PMID:37558224 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0024 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Sport Specialization's Impact on Female Adolescent Athletes' Lower-Extremity Neuromuscular Control: A Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2023 Aug 9:1-6. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2022-0278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Nearly 60 million youth ages 6-18 participate in athletics within the United States. Over the last 30 years, the outlook on youth sport participation has drastically changed, resulting in an increased emphasis on performance and college sport participation. These evolving expectations have created a sense of perfectionism, demanding more time and energy to be placed into a single sport, resulting in an increased prevalence of sport specialization, and consequently, an increased rate of injury.CLINICAL QUESTION: Wha...
