Patient-reported hip pain and function are worse among elite Nordic ski athletes competing in ski jumping versus Nordic combined: a cross-sectional analysis.

Objectives: Nordic ski athletes are at increased risk of developing hip pain and dysfunction secondary to femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), but it is unclear whether hip symptomatology differs between ski jumping (SJ) and Nordic combined (NC) athletes. The purpose of this study was to compare patient-reported hip pain and dysfunction between elite Nordic ski athletes participating in SJ versus NC.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving SJ and NC athletes who competed at the international and U.

Force plate jump testing metrics are predictive of performance on a multimodal return to sport testing protocol among anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients at minimum six-month follow-up.

Background: Force plate-based jump testing may serve as a potential alternative to traditional return to sport (RTS) testing batteries. The purpose of our study was to identify force plate jump metrics that were predictive of RTS test findings in patients who were at least six months postoperative following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients who underwent ACLR at our center and were at least six months postoperative.
