The cricketer's shoulder and injury: Asymmetries in range of movement and muscle length.

Background: Shoulder injuries in cricket are often undetected and untreated.

Objectives: To determine whether there are associations between shoulder internal and external rotation range of movement (ROM), throwing arc (TA) ROM, glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD), external rotation gain (ERG), pectoralis minor muscle length and the incidence of shoulder injury during the first 3 months of a cricket season amongst provincial and club cricketers.

Method: Male, actively participating, provincial and club cricketers were included in this prospective longitudinal cohort study.

Laterality judgment performance between people with chronic pain and pain-free individuals. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Treatment of chronic pain is challenging and there is often failure of recovery, with the need to look at different approaches in its management. Central mechanisms may contribute to chronicity (i.e.

Laterality judgment performance between people with chronic pain and pain-free individuals: a systematic review protocol.

The objective of this review is to establish the association between chronic pain and laterality judgment. Specifically, the review question: Is there a difference in laterality judgment in people with chronic pain and pain-free individuals?

The effect of vision on knee biomechanics during functional activities - A systematic review.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of occluded vision on lower limb kinematics and kinetics of the knee joint during functional tasks including drop landing (single or double leg), squatting (single or double leg), stepping down, cutting movement and hopping in healthy individuals, or individuals who had an ACL reconstruction or deficiency with no vision impairments.

Design: A systematic review was conducted.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted and electronic databases were searched between March 2012 and April 2013 for eligible papers.
