Are lower limb symmetry and self-reported symptoms associated with functional and neuromuscular outcomes in Brazilian adults with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction? A cross-sectional study.
J Bodyw Mov Ther
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- After ACL reconstruction, assessing when it's safe to return to sports is difficult, and understanding how neuromuscular performance relates to limb symmetry and individual symptoms can help improve rehabilitation monitoring.! -
- A study with 34 participants measured functional performance and strength in both the ACL-operated and healthy limbs using various tests, and found that the operated limb performed worse in single-leg hops.! -
- Results indicated no difference in dynamic balance, but knee extension strength and functional performance were linked to self-reported symptoms and limb symmetry post-surgery.!
Objective: To investigate the association between the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and running-related injuries (RRI).
Methods: This is a secondary analysis using a database composed of data from three studies conducted with the same RRI surveillance system. Longitudinal data comprising running exposure (workload) and RRI were collected biweekly during the respective cohorts' follow-up (18-65 weeks).
The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise-based warm-up programme ("VolleyVeilig") on the one-season occurrence of musculoskeletal injuries among recreational adult volleyball players. A prospective randomised controlled trial was conducted over the 2017-2018 volleyball season. Recreational adult volleyball players were allocated either to an intervention or control group.

Methods: Qualitative study. Semistructured interviews with 19 international level athletes, coaches and physiotherapists, from different Olympic sports.
Context: Field hockey is popular worldwide; however, it entails a risk of injury. Injuries hamper players' participation in the sport and impose a burden on public health.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a structured exercise program among youth field hockey players on the injury rate, severity, and burden.
Promoting sports participation for health is part of the public health agenda worldwide. The same holds true for preventing sports injury, an unfavorable consequence of sports. In order to transfer research findings to practice, however, clinicians should consider the particulars of design, outcome measures, and data analyses of sports injury prevention studies.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted systematic searches for relevant studies and found significant variability, with injury rates per 1,000 player-hours ranging from 0.1 to 90.9, and lower limbs being the most affected.
- * Due to differences in injury reporting and severity classifications, the authors concluded that more standardized injury surveillance is necessary for effective injury prevention in field hockey.
Photobiomodulation therapy for the improvement of muscular performance and reduction of muscular fatigue associated with exercise in healthy people: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2018
Researches have been performed to investigate the effects of phototherapy on improving performance and reduction of muscular fatigue. However, a great variability in the light parameters and protocols of the trials are a concern to establish the efficacy of this therapy to be used in sports or clinic. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness, moment of application of phototherapy within an exercise protocol, and which are the parameters optimally effective for the improvement of muscular performance and the reduction of muscular fatigue in healthy people.

Methods: A pilot study with a mixed-methods approach was pursued. Descriptive analysis was conducted to present the adherence of judo (n=34), swimming (n=21) and volleyball (n=14) athletes to an online registration of their sport exposure and any health complaints between April 2014 and January 2015.
Secondary hyperalgesia occurs regardless of unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis involvement in individuals with mild or moderate level.
Rev Bras Reumatol Engl Ed
September 2019
Background: Secondary hyperalgesia in individuals with less severe levels of knee osteoarthritis remains unclear. The objective of this study was to measure the pressure pain threshold of individuals with mild or moderate knee osteoarthritis and compare with no osteoarthritis.
Methods: Ten healthy controls and 30 individuals with mild or moderate knee osteoarthritis divided into two groups (unilateral and bilateral involvement) were included.
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease, usually characterized by pain, which is associated with reduced muscle strength, disability and progressive loss of function. However, the pain influence over proprioception and motor behaviour remains unclear. Thus, the purpose of the study was to identify the levels of pain, the proprioceptive acuity and the pattern of muscle recruitment during stair ascent and descent in elderly patients with mild and moderate osteoarthritis (OA) compared to healthy subjects.
