The relationship between self-reported and clinical measures and the number of days to return to sport following acute lateral ankle sprains.

Study Design: This is a prospective observational study.

Objective: To determine the relationship of self-reported and clinical measures to the number of days to return to sport following acute lateral ankle sprains.

Background: In order to direct rehabilitation, injury classification schemes should include self-reported and clinical measures that help prognosticate the number of days to return to sport (DAYS).

Reliability and Analyst Performance Limits for the Field and Single Strip Direct Microscopic Somatic Cell Count Procedure.

The means and total components of variance were compared for the field and single strip direct microscopic somatic cell count (DMSCC) procedures. The field count procedure averaged 12 - 28% higher than the single strip count procedure in the 300,000 to 1,200,000 DMSCC/ml range. The sum of the components of variance in logarithm units for the field procedure was 0.
