Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the effects of six weeks of intensive ballet training on the Achilles tendon in terms of structural and clinical changes, and to analyze factors like demographics, self-reported pain, and generalized joint hypermobility (GJH).
- - Results showed a significant decrease in the healthy echo-type I (indicating tendon integrity) and an increase in echo-type II (suggesting changes in tendon structure), particularly affected by limb and sex differences among the 63 ballet dancers aged 18-41.
- - Despite these structural changes in the Achilles tendon after rehearsing for Swan Lake, there were no notable changes in self-reported symptoms, clinical signs of Achilles tendinopathy, or performance in heel raise tests during
Shoulder Rotational Strength Profiles of Danish National Level Badminton Players.
Int J Sports Phys Ther
April 2021
Background: Increased age has been shown to be associated with weaker external rotators and stronger internal rotators of the shoulder in pitchers and tennis players. Whether this age-associated change is present in elite badminton players is unknown.
Purpose: To compare the internal and external rotation strength of the shoulder in adolescent and adult elite badminton players.
Immediate versus delayed meniscal allograft transplantation in sheep.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2003
The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of immediate and delayed transplantation on articular cartilage. Icelandic sheep had surgery on the medial menisci in both knees. The knees were divided into four groups; 16 control knees had sham surgery, 15 knees had meniscectomy, 14 knees had immediate allograft transplantation, and 14 knees had delayed transplantation 3 months after meniscectomy.

Design: The movement patterns of the injured leg of the coper and non-coper anterior cruciate ligament deficient subjects and the right leg of the control subjects were compared statistically.
Background: The forward lunge seems to be a less stressful test than the commonly used one-legged hop test, which makes it a possible tool for evaluating and comparing the functional performance of non-copers and copers.
