Knee injuries and their consequences – the impact of impact
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, severe knee injuries that result in a high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the affected individuals. As proof of high impact forces applied to cartilage and bone at the time of injury, traumatic bone marrow lesions and …

Effects of Kinesio Tex Tape on Knee Injuries in Collegiate Athletes
… to investigate the effects of KinesioTex Tape on knee conditions in collegiate athletes. Specifically, the study examined the effects of KinesioTex Tape on pain and effusion in patients with patella related knee conditions at Bridgewater State University. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to …

Cross-education and neuromuscular factors relating to the prevention and rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injuries
… of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. No cross-education research to date has incorporated functional interventions or output measures and only one ACL rehabilitation study has investigated the potential effects of cross-education. Methods: Eighteen recreationally active …

Peak isokinetic torque of knee flexors and extensor muscles of college football players
<p>The problem of the study addressed knee injuries in college football. Imbalance of the musculature surrounding the knee would predispose the athlete to knee injury. Recognition of those who have muscular deficiencies would be a primary way of preventing knee injuries. The focus of the study was …

The effect of prophylactic knee braces on running gait
The use of prophylactic knee braces to prevent knee injuries in football players might increase the risk of injuries to the players because of changes in normal function. This study focused on one of seven criteria for knee braces developed by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, namely …

The relationship between lower limb biomechanicalvariables during common screening tasks
… been reported as being associated with several knee injuries. Hence it is important to develop screening tests to identify healthy individuals who may be susceptible to knee injury and then to design individual intervention programmes. There is limited literature exploring the associations …

In vivo Knee Kinematics and Cartilage Recovery of Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
<p>Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common knee injuries. Unfortunately, the prevention programs have not significantly reduced these traumatic injuries, and debilitating repercussions (i.e. pain, meniscal degeneration, post-traumatic osteoarthritis) occur even after …

Delay to diagnosis and specialist consultation following anterior cruciate ligament injury: A study investigating the nature of, and factors associated with, pathway delay
… Historically the identification of ACL injuries upon initial presentation is low and considerable diagnostic delays have been reported. However, specific evidence on the individual elements of, and factors which influence delay, is lacking. Aims: The overarching aim was to provide a …

Impact of Sex and Stretch-Shortening Cycle Induced-Fatigue on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry During the Stop-Jump
Sports-related injuries have a 67% incidence of occurring during competitive play, particularly in sports where fatigue is thought to negatively affect the way that the lower extremities attenuate forces being placed on the body.72 With the overall incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Injury prediction in Division I college football players using a modified lower extremity version of the FMS
Background: Lower extremity injuries are prevalent in collegiate football. According to Rechel et al [3], a study that tracked collegiate football injuries from 1988-2004, 55.7% of injuries suffered during spring practice were lower extremity. The same study also found that 17.6% of all injuries …

The Relationship Between the Hamstrings to Quadriceps Strength Ratio and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces
… ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee injuries in sports and is associated with other serious health concerns like osteoarthritis (OA). Forces developed by the hamstrings and quadriceps have been found to decrease and increase forces on the ACL, respectively. Thus, some believe …
