[Biomechanical screening for injury prevention : The importance of 3D-motion analysis in high performance sports].

Standardized clinical diagnostic procedures cannot assess the functionality of the anatomical structures in sport-specific movement. Biomechanical screening is able to detect deficits but is not sufficiently and objectively precise with the current clinical examination tools including conventional imaging techniques. The fields of use of functional testing methods are versatile and range from injury prevention analysis, screening during rehabilitation phases up to the return-to-play decision.

[Radiological diagnosis of fibulo-talar ligamentous lesions (author's transl)].

Of 343 patients with sprained ankles the results of conventional stress a.p. roetgenograms in supination and stressed X-rays in lateral view with a device, similar to the technique, described by Noesberger, are compared.
