A novel equestrian helmet testing method: helmet liner performance in highly realistic simulation
CONCLUSIONS: Current testing uses a helmeted head form which is dropped or rolled from a prescribed height. These methods discount the tremendous loading placed on the neck and head through the angular momentum of the body itself. Our novel testing method did not find significant differences between the various helmet types in their performance at diminishing peak rotational forces to the brain, however our data suggests that MIPS helmet liners may reduce duration of impact. The reduction of acceleration duration could indicate less overall rotation of the neck, due to the dampening of these forces by the MIPS liners.PMID:...

Immediate effect of the use of toe separators on dynamic balance and ankle range of motion: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this pilot study indicate that using toe separators does not have an immediate effect on ankle range of motion and dynamic balance in young, healthy individuals. Future research should consider evaluating intervention programs of longer duration and exploring different populations.PMID:37916670 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2278190 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Corticosteroid injection of the knee within one month prior to meniscus repair increases the risk of repair failure requiring meniscectomy
CONCLUSION: The study highlights an increased risk of repair failure requiring follow-up meniscectomy for patients receiving intra-articular CSIs within one month prior to meniscus repair. These findings suggest caution when considering CSIs as a treatment option for patients scheduled for meniscus repair. Further research is needed to establish optimal timing guidelines for CSIs in relation to meniscus repair and to understand the underlying mechanisms.PMID:37811919 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2268604 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
