Increased Femoral Neck Anteversion is Prevalent in Male Elite Youth Soccer Players with Chronic Ankle Instability.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and determine the prevalence of increased FNA in male elite youth soccer players with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). Secondary aims were to evaluate the utility of FNA in predicting CAI and compare ankle and hip muscle strength in the two groups.

Materials And Methods: The study included a total of 44 male elite youth soccer players, 22 with CAI (mean age 16.

Effects of the Graft Type Used for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction on Isokinetic Muscle Strength and Quality of Life.

There is no consensus about which graft type should be used in patients who will undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction so far. In this study, it was aimed to compare the quality of life, knee functions, and isokinetic muscle strength of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon (HT) and bone-tendon-bone (BTB) autografts. Total 40 patients with ACL reconstruction (20 in HT group and 20 in BTB group), at least 1 year after the operation, all injured during sports activity were included in this study.

Investigating the effects of a multidimensional exercise program on symptoms and antiinflammatory status in female patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a multidimensional exercise program on symptoms and antiinflammatory status in female patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Methods: The BATH Indexes, Dougados Functional Index (DFI), Health Assessment Questionnaire in Spondyloarthopathies (HAQ-S), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to evaluate twenty-four female AS patients. ESR, CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 were also analyzed.

The cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale in patients with chronic neck pain: Turkish version study.

Study Design: The study design was cross-cultural adaptation and investigation of reliability and validity of the Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale (CNFDS).

Objective: The aim of this study was to translate the CNFDS into Turkish language and assess its reliability and validity among patients with neck pain in Turkish population.

Summary Of Background Data: The CNFDS is a reliable and valid evaluation instrument for disability, but there is no published the Turkish version of the CNFDS.
