Leg stiffness during running in adults with traumatic brain injury: A comparative study with healthy adults.

Background: While leg stiffness during running has been shown to be lower in children with cerebral palsy compared to their typically developing peers, no studies have examined leg stiffness during running in adults with traumatic brain injury. The aim of this study was to compare leg stiffness during running in adults with traumatic brain injury to healthy controls.

Methods: Sixty-one adults with traumatic brain injury and 20 healthy controls were included.

The effect of a low-load plyometric intervention on running kinematics in youth with cerebral palsy: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: For children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) who are independently ambulant (Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) I or II), running is a fundamental movement skill that enables them to play and engage in school and community activities. A running intervention which resulted in good running goal attainment should logically have improved running kinematics, however, this has not yet been established.

Research Question: Does a low-load plyometric running intervention improve joint kinematics during running in children with CP?

Methods: Three-dimensional gait analysis was undertaken before and after a 12-week intervention.

Relationship Between Hip and Groin Pain and Hip Range of Motion in Amateur Soccer and Australian Rules Football Players.

Background: The relationship between hip/groin pain and hip range of motion (ROM) is unclear.

Purpose: To explore the relationship between hip/groin pain and hip joint ROM and examine the influence of sex and cam morphology on this relationship.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Hop to It! A Systematic Review and Longitudinal Meta-analysis of Hop Performance After ACL Reconstruction.

Background: Hop testing is widely used by clinicians to monitor rehabilitation and decide when to return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR); however, the trajectory of long-term hop performance has not been summarised.

Objective: To investigate hop performance change over time after ACLR.

Design: Systematic review with longitudinal meta-analysis.

Tale of quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength after ACL reconstruction: a systematic review with longitudinal and multivariate meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate how knee extensor and flexor strength change over time after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Design: Systematic review with longitudinal meta-analysis.
