The effect of unilateral cam femoroacetabular impingement on the three-dimensional kinematics of the pelvis and hip and the kinetics of the hip
Cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is caused by decreased concavity of the femoral head-neck junction which results in a jamming of the proximal femur into the acetabulum within normal range of motion (ROM). This condition is known to decrease hip ROM, and has been reported to cause hip pain in …

Hindfoot and forefoot kinematic differences among individuals with and without Functional Ankle Instability
… known as Functional Ankle Instability (FAI). It has been proposed that altered joint kinematics during activity may contribute to instability in these individuals, however research findings have been inconsistent. Objective: To capture foot and ankle kinematic data during two common …

The Effect of a Specialized Yoga Intervention on Characteristics of Functional Ankle Instability
… (MI) and functional ankle instability (FAI). MI results from damage to musculoskeletal structures in the ankle joint complex causing pathological joint laxity or arthrokinematics restrictions. Functional ankle instability (FAI) is defined by the ankle giving way, in which a person …

Radiological features of femoroacetabular impingement in patients undergoing hip resurfacing arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the hip
… normal anatomy. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a recently described pathomechanical entity and is thought to be a cause for early onset osteoarthritis of the hip in adults. This study is aimed at observing the radiological features of FAI in patients undergoing hip resurfacing and total …

Mechanical ankle instability: relationship with active joint position sense
… (MAl) and functional ankle instability (FAI). Previous research has found individuals with CAl and FAI to have deficits in proprioception, more specifically joint position sense (JPS). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between MAl and active JPS. Twelve …

The Effects of Ice Hockey Goaltender Leg Pads on Safety and Performance
… of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The exact cause of these injuries in goaltenders remains unknown; however, it has been suggested that common goaltender movements and a goaltender’s underlying hip pathology may be contributing factors. The butterfly save technique, commonly …

The effect of vibration training on balance and muscular performance within functionally unstable ankle populations
… self reported functional ankle instability (FAI). Stage one of the research was to initially investigate the effect of a six week whole body vibration training (WBVT) exercise routine on 38 University dancers reporting FAI. An initial assessment of the severity of the instability was done …

The chronic and acute effects of whole body vibration training
… athletes suffering functional ankle instability (FAI) (Paper 1). Even when compared to traditional methods of rehabilitation for FAI, the addition of WBVT enhances the benefits of traditional rehabilitation protocols (Paper 2). The use of acute WBVT enhances reactive strength, again showing a …
