Purpose Adding external focus of attention (EF, focus on the movement effect) may optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programmes. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of an EF, by a visual stimulus and an internal focus, by a verbal stimulus …

PURPOSE: In this prospective study, the changes in kinetics and kinematics of gait and clinical outcomes after a varus osteotomy (tibial, femoral or double osteotomy) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and a valgus leg alignment were analysed and compared to healthy subjects. METHODS: Twelve …

Background: Retention of movement technique is crucial in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury pre- vention programs. It is unknown if specific instructions or video instructions result in changes in kine- matic and kinetic measures during a relatively short training session, and in a retention test …

Onderzoek naar referentiewaarden van structuren in de knie. Door middel van muscloskeletale echografie zijn referentiewaarden vastgesteld voor zowel man als vrouw voor de volgende structuren: quadriceps pees, patella pees, mediaal collateraal ligament, lateraal collateraal ligament en de iliotibiale …

Deze literatuurstudie geeft een overzicht van de onderzoeken die uitgevoerd zijn naar de rek en de spanning in het sternoclaviculaire kapselbandapparaat tijdens claviculaire bewegingen. De vraagstelling luidt: ‘Hoe verloopt de rek en de spanning in het sternoclaviculaire kapselbandapparaat inclusief …

Video feedback may be a powerful tool to change biomechanical landing patterns associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. This study investigated the effect of video feedback on drop vertical jump (DVJ) landing strategies in team sport athletes. 59 athletes were assigned to a video …

External focus instructions have been shown to result in superior motor performance compared to internal focus instructions. Using an EF may help to optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of instructions …

External of focus of attention has been shown to result in superior motor performance compared to an internal focus of attention. Adding external focus of attention may optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs. Objective: To determine the effect of internal (IF) and …

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 …
