Implementation and evaluation of an Exercise is Medicine™ on campus week.

Unlabelled: Exercise is Medicine™ (EiM) on campus targets physical activity (PA) participation on college campuses. Limited research has addressed how PA initiatives can be operationalized on college campuses.

Purpose: To describe the implementation of EiM on a large U.

Isometric shoulder strength reference values for physically active collegiate males and females.

Background: It is common clinical practice to assess muscle strength during examination of patients following shoulder injury or surgery. Strength comparisons are often made between the patient's injured and uninjured shoulders, with the uninjured side used as a reference without regard to upper extremity dominance. Despite the importance of strength measurements, little is known about expected normal baselines of the uninjured shoulder.

History of shoulder instability and subsequent injury during four years of follow-up: a survival analysis.

Background: Little is known about the risk factors for glenohumeral joint instability. We hypothesized that a prior history of instability would be a significant risk factor for subsequent injury.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study over a four-year period within a high-risk group of young athletes to address the research hypothesis.

Military movement training program improves jump-landing mechanics associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury risk.

As part of the physical education program at the United States Military Academy, all cadets complete a movement training course designed to develop skills and improve performance in military-related physical tasks as well as obstacle navigation. The purpose of this study was to determine if completion of this course would also result in changes in jump-landing technique that reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Analysis of landing mechanics on a two-footed jump landing from a height of 30 cm with a three-dimensional motion capture system synchronized with two force plates revealed both positive and negative changes.

Clinical descriptive measures of shoulder range of motion for a healthy, young and physically active cohort.

Background: The objective of this innovative research study was to describe clinical shoulder complex range of motion (ROM) measures for a young, healthy, and physically active population. This investigation represents a cross-sectional experiment conducted at a military academy-based sports medicine center. Military cadets with no history of shoulder complex injury were assessed within two months of enrollment in the academy; 548 men (18.

Physical examination findings in young athletes correlate with history of shoulder instability.

The goal of this study was to evaluate physical examination findings in a healthy cohort and determine potential correlations with a history of shoulder instability. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using the baseline data for an ongoing prospective cohort study to examine the risk factors for shoulder instability. A complete history of shoulder instability events was obtained, and a blinded physical examination was performed.

Pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior glenohumeral subluxation events.

Background: Relative to dislocations, glenohumeral subluxation events have received little attention in the literature, despite a high incidence in young athletes. The pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation events has not been defined, to our knowledge.

Methods: As part of a prospective evaluation of all cases of shoulder instability sustained during one academic year in a closed cohort of military academy cadets, a total of thirty-eight first-time, traumatic, anterior glenohumeral subluxation events were documented.

Association of generalized joint hypermobility with a history of glenohumeral joint instability.

Context: Little is known about the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility, and glenohumeral joint instability.

Objective: To examine the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility scores, and a history of glenohumeral joint instability within a young, physically active cohort and to describe the incidence of generalized joint hypermobility within this population.

Design: Cross-sectional cohort study.

The incidence and characteristics of shoulder instability at the United States Military Academy.

Background: The literature provides little information detailing the incidence of traumatic shoulder instability in young, healthy athletes.

Hypothesis: Shoulder instability is common in young athletes.

Study Design: Descriptive epidemiologic study.
