Preventing Suicide and Promoting Mental Health Among Student-Athletes From Diverse Backgrounds
J Sport Rehabil. 2024 Feb 9:1-6. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2023-0085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSuicide and contributing mental health conditions in athletes are shared concerns within health care and society at large. This commentary focuses on suicide risk among athletes and the role of sports medicine professionals in preventing suicide and promoting mental health. In this commentary, we draw on the scientific literature and our clinical experiences to pose and answer these questions: Does suicide risk among athletes vary by sociodemographic factors (eg, sex, gender, race/ethnicity, family income, sexual orientation) or if i...

The Influence of Race on Time to Symptom Resolution Following Sport Concussion in Collegiate Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Black collegiate athletes achieved symptom resolution sooner than White athletes. We did not explore underlying sociocultural factors such as socioeconomic status or previous concussion education, which may have influenced our results. Future studies should explore factors that may contextualize these findings.PMID:38335953 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0082 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Automated Versus Traditional Scoring Agreeability During the Balance Error Scoring System
CONCLUSION: The 2 methods of BESS scoring are different with wide limits of agreement. The benefits and risks of each approach to error scoring should be considered when selecting the most appropriate metric for clinical use or research studies.PMID:38295786 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0201 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

The Effect of Active Release Technique on Hamstring Extensibility: A  Critically Appraised Topic
J Sport Rehabil. 2024 Jan 30:1-6. doi: 10.1123/jsr.2023-0229. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCLINICAL SCENARIO: Hamstring extensibility plays a significant role in maintaining postural alignment essential for a functional musculoskeletal system. When hamstring extensibility is lacking, individuals are placed at a higher risk for developing various lumbar spine, pelvis, knee, and foot dysfunctions. Limited hamstring extensibility is common, occurring in as much as 40% of college students and 86% of the adult population. Therefore, it is essential to maintain hamstring extensibility, which can be aided by understanding interv...

Digital Health Literacy and Social Determinants of Health Affecting Telehealth Use by Athletic Trainers
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that internal factors such as digital health literacy and clinical site resources may have contributed to an AT's previous telehealth use in clinical practice. However, the SDOH data extracted from the community zip code where the AT provided clinical services were similar for those with and without previous telehealth use.PMID:38266633 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0069 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

A Quasi-Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare the Effects of Suspension Versus Instability Training on Balance
CONCLUSIONS: Training with suspension devices is effective in enhancing dynamic balance, with similar improvements to instability training. Importantly, the magnitude of change and the frequency of responders to intervention in terms of motor coordination and keeping balance in unstable conditions appear to be sensitive to the type of training.PMID:38253048 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0161 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effect of Hearing Status on Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes of Collegiate Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Athletes who are D/HoH have poorer knowledge of concussions but similar attitudes toward concussion as that of athletes who are hearing. Current concussion educational interventions are in written or spoken form which may not be inclusive to athletes who are D/HoH. Health care professionals should consider an athlete's preferred communication mode to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education.PMID:38253049 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0063 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Closed-Loop Reflex Responses of the Lateral Ankle Musculature From Various Thresholds During a Lateral Ankle Sprain Perturbation
CONCLUSIONS: More sensitive thresholds results in a shorter closed-loop reflexive response compared to the more rigorous thresholds. We recommend that selection of the appropriate threshold to identify latency of the lateral ankle musculature should be based on the device used to simulate a lateral ankle sprain and the ankle inversion velocity produced during the ankle inversion perturbation.PMID:38198793 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0336 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Musculoskeletal Pain, Mood, and Sports Injury in Wheelchair Power Soccer Players
CONCLUSION: The presence of musculoskeletal pain was common in WPS players, but it was not related to mood. As no traumatic injuries were observed during the championship, this modality seems to be safe for people with physical disabilities in general.PMID:38194954 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2022-0251 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

The Interruption of Rehabilitation Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction due to COVID-19 Restrictions: Association With Return-to-Sport Testing
CONCLUSIONS: There was a decline in physical performance outcome measures in patients following ACLR who did not attend regular in-person physical therapy sessions in the late-stage rehabilitation due to COVID-19-related restrictions. Other factors during this unique time period, such as access to training facilities or psychosocial stressors, may have also influenced outcomes.PMID:38194957 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0277 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Effect of Floss Band on Anaerobic Exercise and Muscle Tissue Oxygenation
CONCLUSION: Collectively, these findings indicate that the application of thigh flossing during warm-up has no effect on 30-WAT performance; however, SpO2 was significantly increased in all stages of testing. This could lead to potential improvement in repeated anaerobic exercise due to increased blood flow. Increased muscle oxygen saturation can also lead to improved tissue healing as oxygen supply is essential for tissue repair, wound healing, and pain management.PMID:38176399 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0106 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

The End of the Formal Rehabilitation Is Not the End of Rehabilitation: Knee Function Deficits Remain After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSIONS: The low share of the athletes who fulfilled the functional RTS criteria highlights the importance of continuing the rehabilitation measures after the formal completion to assess the need for and success of, inter alia, secondary-preventive therapies.PMID:38176405 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0165 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)
