BACKGROUND: The current literature on the value of clinical evaluation for predicting time to return to sport (RTS) after acute hamstring injuries has not been systematically summarised. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the prognostic value of clinical …

The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of landing stability and technique to gain insight into risk factors for ankle and knee injuries in indoor team sport players. Seventyfive male and female basketball, volleyball or korfball players were screened by measuring landing stability …

Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs effectively reduce ACL injury risk in the short term. Despite these programs, ACL injury incidence is still high, making it imperative to continue to improve cur- rent prevention strategies. A potential limitation of current ACL injury …

: Knee injuries commonly occur in later stages of competition indicating that fatigue may influence dynamic knee stability. Force sense (FS) is a submodality of proprioception influenced by muscle mechanoreceptors, and, if negatively affected by fatigue, may results in less effective neuromuscular control. …

Runners often sustain lower extremity injuries (19-79%) (van Gent et al, 2007). In a theoretical model it has been described that a disturbance in perceived stress and recovery can increase the risk of sustaining an injury (Williams & Andersen, 1998). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate …

A one year prospective study on ankle stability and landing technique: the occurrence of ankle and knee injuries in elite ball team athletes Background: In team sports lower extremity injuries account for more than 50% of all injuries, indicating the importance of early detection of athletes at risk. …

Inleiding: In Nederland is wielrennen een populaire sportieve activiteit. Zowel voor sportieve en recreatieve doeleinden als woon-werkverkeer. Zoals bij iedere sport, komen ook bij wielrennen veel blessures voor, met name knieblessures. De fietsbeweging is een beweging in een gesloten keten en de knie …

Background: Women have an increased risk of ACL injuries and patellofemoral complaints. Literature has speculated that this might be due to difference in kinematics across gender. Components of a dynamic valgus collapse has been associated with the above mentioned knee complaints. Research question: …

Achtergrond: Posterolaterale hoek (PLH) letsel is een weinig voorkomende aandoening van de knie (16% van alle ligamentaire knieblessures). Diagnostiek bij PLH letsel is wel belangrijk aangezien het kan leiden tot invaliderende instabiliteit van de knie. Op dit moment zijn er meerdere testen bekend voor …
