Article Synopsis
- This study investigates hip and groin pain in Gaelic games players, focusing on both male and female athletes, as older research primarily centered on elite males.
- A survey involving 775 players revealed a 54.8% prevalence of hip and groin pain, with many continuing to play, despite 33.5% experiencing recurrent pain.
- Key findings suggest that male athletes and those participating in multiple sports are more prone to hip and groin issues, while Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS) is relatively rare in this population.
Low back pain is associated with dysfunction in recruitment of muscles in the lumbopelvic region. Effective rehabilitation requires preferential activation of deep stabilizing muscle groups yet training these muscles poses challenges in a clinical setting. This study was carried out in order to quantify the response of deep stabilizing muscles (transverses abdominis and deep fibres of multifidus) to a period of training using a novel neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application in a group of patients with chronic low back pain.

Low back pain is associated with dysfunction in recruitment of muscles in the lumbopelvic region. Effective rehabilitation requires preferential activation of deep stabilizing muscle groups. This study was carried out in order to quantify the response of deep stabilizing muscles (transverses abdominis) and superficial muscle in the abdominal wall (external oblique) to electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
