Biomechanical and neuromuscular characteristics in patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair: a clinical prospective cohort study protocol.

Introduction: Traumatic shoulder dislocation is a common shoulder injury, especially among the young and active population. More than 95% of dislocations are anterior, in which the humeral head is forced beyond the anterior glenoid rim. The injury leads to increased joint laxity and recurrence rates are high.

Anterior-posterior glenohumeral translation in shoulders with traumatic anterior instability: a systematic review of the literature.

Background: Reports of glenohumeral translation in shoulders with traumatic anterior instability have been presented. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate anterior-posterior translation in shoulders with traumatic anterior instability.

Methods: This systematic review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

The heel-rise work test overestimates the performed work with 21-25% after an Achilles tendon rupture.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate concurrent validity of the heel-rise work test performed with use of the heel as a surrogate for the center of body mass.

Methods: The study was a validity study performed on a prospective cohort of consecutive patients. Forty-five patients were included in the study.
