Frontal plane lower extremity alignment in adolescent athletes with chronic hip adductor-related groin injury symptoms: A case-control study.

Objective: To compare trunk and lower extremity frontal plane projection angles (FPPA) during single leg squat (SLS) performance, perceived hip and groin function and symptoms, and isometric hip strength of adolescent athletes with chronic hip adductor-related groin injury (HARGI) symptoms and age, gender, and sport-matched healthy subjects.

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Junior Olympic Development Training Centre.

Shoulder Range of Motion, Rotator Strength, and Upper-Extremity Functional Performance in Junior Tennis Players.

Purpose: Repetitive and asymmetric movements in tennis can result in biomechanical adaptation in shoulder joint. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in shoulder range of motion (ROM), strength, and functional performance tests between the dominant and nondominant shoulders, as well as to identify gender differences in junior tennis players.

Methods: Forty-two junior tennis players (age mean: 11.

The effect of different neural mobilization exercises on hamstring flexibility and functional flexibility in wrestlers.

This study aimed to compare the short-term effects of sciatic nerve neural sliding and neural stretching exercises on hamstring muscle length and functional flexibility in wrestlers. The study participants included 74 wrestlers. The athletes were randomly divided into two groups: neural sliding and neural stretching groups.

The Acute Effect of Talocrural Joint Mobilization on Dorsiflexor Muscle Strength in Healthy Individuals: A Randomized Controlled Single-Blind Study.

Context: Mobilization has been used for enhancing muscle strength.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of talocrural joint mobilization on ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength in healthy individuals, which has not yet been studied.

Design: Randomized controlled single-blind study.
