Background: Determining readiness to return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is challenging.
Objectives: To develop models to predict initial (directly after rehabilitation) and sustainable (one year after rehabilitation) return to sport and performance in individuals after ACL reconstruction.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre, prospective cohort study and included 208 participants.
Background: Alfredson isolated eccentric loading and Silbernagel concentric-eccentric loading have both shown beneficial effects on clinical symptoms in midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT), but they have never been compared directly.
Purpose: To test for differences in clinical effects at 1-year follow-up between Alfredson and Silbernagel loading in midportion AT.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 2.
Background And Aims: Fatigue significantly impacts the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to assess the effect of a personalized, intensive exercise program on fatigue, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with quiescent IBD and severe fatigue.
Methods: A pilot study was performed including IBD patients in remission with severe fatigue.
Context: Since decades leg dominance is suggested to be important in rehabilitation and return to play in athletes with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. However, an ideal method to determine leg dominance in relation to task performance is still lacking.
Objective: To test the agreement between self-reported and observed leg dominance in bilateral mobilizing and unilateral stabilizing tasks, and to assess whether the dominant leg switches between bilateral mobilizing tasks and unilateral stabilizing tasks.
Background: Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT) can cause long-term absence from sports participation, and shows high recurrence rates. It is important that the decision to return to sport (RTS) is made carefully, based on sharply delimited criteria. Lack of a well-defined definition and criteria hampers the decision to RTS among athletes with AT, and impedes comparison of RTS rates between different studies.

Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to provide descriptive data on functional performance in men and women with ACLR, to compare bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) with semitendinosus/gracilis (STG) within the same sex and to compare the ACLR subjects with healthy controls.
Methods: Eligible participants comprised 100 men (43 % BPTB) and 84 women (41 % BPTB) after ACLR, of whom 30 men (STG n = 19; BPTB n = 11) and 18 women (STG n = 12; BPTB n = 6) were untraceable/not willing and 15 men (STG n = 9; BPTB n = 6) and 18 women (STG n = 12; BPTB n = 3) were not able to take part in the measurements because of injury. Besides men BPTB (n = 24), men STG (n = 27), women BPTB (n = 23) and women STG (n = 23), healthy men (n = 22) and women (n = 22) participated.
Objective: To determine reproducibility of a battery of clinical tests for evaluating lumbopelvic motor control (LMC).
Design: Test-retest design.
Participants: Fifty healthy subjects.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the measurements that are used in clinical practice to assess the quantity and quality of functional performance in men and women more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction with bone patellar-tendon bone (BPTB) or semitendinosus/gracilis (STG) graft.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in Medline (Pubmed), EMBASE (OVID), the Cochrane Library and PEDro to identify relevant articles from 1990 up to 2010. Articles were included if they described functional performance after BPTB or STG reconstruction and had a follow-up of more than 2 years.
Study Design: A comparative study.
Objectives: To assess whether in subjects with unilateral chronic ankle instability the dynamic reaction time of the affected ankle differs from the healthy ankle and from ankles of a control group.
Background: Reaction time is an essential element in joint protection against sudden unexpected excessive movement requiring fast and coordinated muscle action.
