Association of Dynamic Knee Valgus and Bone Stress Injury in US Military Academy Cadets J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-06-07 Jaimie V. Little, Timothy G. Eckard, Lindsay J. DiStefano, Kenneth L. Cameron, Stephen W. Marshall, Darin A. Padua
Context: Early identification of incoming military personnel at elevated odds for bone stress injury (BSI) is important for the health and readiness of the US military. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: Knee kinematic data of the incoming US Military Academy cadets were collected while performing a jump-landing task (The Landing Error Scoring System) using a markerless motion capture system

Management of a Special Warfare Trainee With Repeat Exertional Heat Stroke: A Case Study J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-06-07 J. Joseph Caraway, Julius Shepard, Courtney Hintz, Cody R. Butler
Context: Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is the most deadly form the exertional heat illness with a higher incidence among active duty US military members than in the general population. Current guidelines on EHS recovery timelines and return to duty vary among the military branches. In some cases, individuals experience prolonged heat and exercise intolerance with repeat exertional heat illness events

Validity and Reliability of the Kinvent Handheld Dynamometer in the Athletic Shoulder Test J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-06-07 Margie Olds, Sally McLaine, Nico Magni
Context: Long-lever shoulder strength tests may aid clinical decision-making regarding return to sport after a shoulder injury. The Athletic Shoulder Test (AST) was developed to measure force production in 3 positions of shoulder abduction (90°, 135°, and 180°) using force plates. However, handheld dynamometers (HHDs) are more portable, affordable, and may provide valid and reliable results which would

The Influence of Athletic Identity, Passion, and Perceptions of Severity of Concussions on Athletes’ Willingness to Report Concussion Symptoms J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-05-26 Eric M. Martin, Megan Byrd, Adriana Amador, Emma Ridenhour, Carolena Charalambous
Context: The influence of several psychological characteristics on the willingness of athletes to report concussion behaviors has not been well explored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand how athletic identity and sport passion predicted participants’ willingness to report symptoms above what was explained by athlete demographics, concussion knowledge, and perceived seriousness

Single-Leg Squat Test in the Clinical Setting Does Not Discriminate Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome From Asymptomatic Individuals J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-05-24 Letícia Almeida de Oliveira, Viviane Bortoluzzi Frasson, Anna Torresan, Marco Aurélio Vaz, Bruno Manfredini Baroni
Context: Laboratorial 3-dimensional kinematic analyses have shown changes in the single-leg squat’s (SLS) pattern of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). However, it is unknown whether clinicians are able to detect these changes using 2-dimensional kinematics. Objective: To compare the frontal plane 2-dimensional kinematics of patients with FAIS and asymptomatic individuals in

Effect of Bridge Exercise Duration on Lateral Abdominal Muscle Thickness and Gluteus Maximus Activation J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-05-24 Eleftherios Kellis, Athanasios Konstantopoulos, Athanasios Ellinoudis
Context: Bridge exercises are extensively used in trunk-strengthening programs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bridging duration on lateral abdominal muscle thickness and gluteus maximus activation. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods: Twenty-five young males participated in this study. Transversus abdominal (TrA), external and internal oblique ultrasound thickness, gluteus maximus

Effectiveness of 448-kHz Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency Therapy After Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage to Restore Muscle Strength and Contractile Parameters J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-05-16 Boštjan Šimunič, Monika Doles, Robi Kelc, Andrej Švent
Context: Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is prevalent especially in sports and rehabilitation. It causes loss in skeletal muscle function and soreness. As there are no firm preventive strategies, we aimed to evaluate the preventive efficacy of nonthermal 448-kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMRF) therapy after eccentric bouts of EIMD response in knee flexors. Design: Twenty-nine

Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index in Turkish Runners J. Sport Rehabilit. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-05-09 Elif Turgut, Mesut Burak Tascan, Ezgi Nur Can, Ismail Bayram, Evan O. Nelson, Bryan Heiderscheit
Context: The University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI) was developed to evaluate the key elements that runners use to self-assess their own running ability following common running-related injuries. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the UWRI and to evaluate the psychometric properties of its Turkish version (UWRI-Tr) in runners. Design: Prospective cohort
