Objectives: Athletes commonly wear fitted silicone ankle sleeves (SAS) and lace-up ankle braces (LAB). There is limited data about their effect on neuromuscular control or athletic performance. Our goal is to evaluate their efficacy in a young, active population during athletic tasks using motion analysis. Methods: Ten subjects (5 males, 5 females) without prior musculoskeletal injury were recruited. They were asked to perform the Drop Vertical Jump test (DVJ), 45 degree bound, and cutting maneuvers under three conditions: No brace, SAS, LAB. DVJ was used as a surrogate for neuromuscular contr

Background: On August 31, 2017, Ohio passed legislation that regulates how opioids can be prescribed postoperatively. Studies have shown that such legislation is successful in reducing the morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) prescribed after certain orthopaedic procedures. Purpose: (1) To determine if the opioid prescription–limiting legislation in Ohio reduced the cumulative MMEs prescribed after hip arthroscopy without significantly affecting the rates of emergency department (ED) visits, hospital readmissions, and reoperations within 90 days postoperatively, and (2) to assess risk factors

Objectives: The medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), the radiocapitellar joint, and the posteromedial olecranon are the constraints of the elbow that are often injured during the late cocking and early acceleration phases of throwing. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum usually occur in adolescents participating in baseball due to repetitive compression force and excessive valgus torque within the radiocapitellar joint. Currently, there is conflicting literature on how location and size of osteochondral defects effect elbow valgus angulation. The purpose of this study was to q

Objectives: Opioids are commonly prescribed for pain management following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair (ARCR). While their efficacy outweighs their risks in the short term, chronic opioid use is associated with significant adverse effects, such as dependence, endocrine imbalance or respiratory depression. The rate of chronic opioid use and dependence following ARCR is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of chronic opioid use following ARCR and establish the effect of preoperative opioid education on reducing chronic consumption. A secondary aim is to determine if an

# Background Adolescent females are at much greater risk for ACL injury than their male counterparts when participating in the same sports. Preventative and pre-operative rehabilitation neuromuscular (NM) exercise programs are often recommended to improve knee function and reduce injury rates. The effectiveness of perturbation-based NM training program has been established in an adult population but has yet to be investigated in the at-risk adolescent female population. # Purpose To determine the effectiveness of a perturbation-based NM exercise program in a group of physically active adolesce

O objetivo principal do treinamento resistido com pesos é promover a quebra da homeostase do organismo. Desde que dentro dos limites fisiológicos, o organismo gera o fenômeno da supercompensação, alcançando um novo nível de aptidão física. Diversas técnicas são usadas para alcançar o condicionamento físico, e a oclusão vascular (kaatsu training) surge como uma opção permeada por benefícios para sedentários e portadores de patologias, mas ainda com poucas evidências para a população treinada.

Objectives: Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is an effective treatment method for articular cartilage damage in the knee. The mid- and long-term outcomes of patellofemoral OCA transplantation has been less frequently reported compared to those of the medial and lateral compartments of the knee, and these grafts often show lower survival rates and worse patient-reported outcomes. The unique morphology and biomechanics of the patellofemoral compartment leads to different pathologies than other areas of the knee. The purpose of this study was to assess graft survivorship and patient-

Olympic weightlifting movements and their variations are believed to be among the most effective ways to improve power, strength, and speed in athletes. This study investigated the effects of two Olympic weightlifting variations (hang cleans and hang snatches), on power (vertical jump height), strength (1RM back squat), and speed (40-yard sprint) in female collegiate athletes. 23 NCAA Division I female athletes were randomly assigned to either a hang clean group or hang snatch group.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns in 2020 negatively impacted high school students, with increased depression and anxiety especially in athletes who participated in team sports. For adolescents with disabilities, physical activity provides physical and mental health benefits; however, the impact of COVID-19 related adaptive sports cancellations have not been thoroughly investigated.

Background: It is well-established that patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) have a less favorable prognosis if a concomitant full-thickness cartilage lesion is present at the time of surgery. However, the long-term benefits of surgically addressing these cartilage lesions remain uncertain. Purpose: To evaluate whether the most used surgical treatments for cartilage lesions influenced patient-reported outcomes 10 years after ACLR. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) maintains homeostasis through the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic subsystems or divisions. Currently, analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) offers an indirect, non-invasive assessment of ANS function. An irregular lifestyle and stress are known to affect ANS balance, influencing many diseases. Moreover, ANS disorder plays an important role in climacteric symptoms in menopausal females. The purpose of this study was designed to assess the effects of yoga practice sessions (herein referred to as “yoga”) on ANS function and focused on the relat

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of stimulation conditions (pressing force and frequency) and subcutaneous tissue properties (thickness and hardness) on the changes in tendon blood circulation caused by acupressure. Before and after acupressure, blood circulation of the Achilles tendon was measured using red laser lights. Acupressure was applied to the Achilles tendon for 3-min under three conditions. The following four conditions (including no stimulation condition) with different combinations of pressing forces and frequencies were established: 1) 50N and 1.5Hz, 2) 25

Objectives: The incidence of second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and return to sport (RTS) in a young, active population is likely between 25-33% with the greatest risk in the first 12 months after RTS. Although the use of allograft tissue in young athletes has been reported to result in increased risk of graft failure, differences in graft and contralateral ACL injury risk between patients who receive a hamstrings (HS) autograft and bone-patellar tendon- bone (BTB) autograft has yet to be reported in a young, athletic population.

Background: Reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posterior oblique ligament (POL) is necessary to restore stability in chronic lesions on the medial side of the knee. The Lind technique uses a single-strand, pedicled semitendinosus tendon autograft to perform continuous reconstruction of the MCL and POL. The LaPrade technique uses 2 free grafts: 1 graft for the MCL (double-strand semitendinosus tendon graft) and 1 graft for the POL (double-strand gracilis tendon graft).
