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 …

Blessurepreventieve oefenprogramma’s zijn in de sport niet erg populair. Hun effectiviteit staat ter discussie en het feit dat ze doorgaans geen directe bijdrage leveren aan prestatieverbetering komt de motivatie van coaches en sporters niet ten goede. Het toepassen van motorische leerprincipes binnen …

Revalidatie na VKB reconstructie: wetenschap met handvatten voor de praktijk. Innovatieve methoden VKB revalidatie.

Preventie van voorste kruisband letsel. Helaas hebben de huidige VKB blessure preventieprogramma’s nog niet tot afname van het aantal VKB blessures geleid. Er is dus ruimte voor verbetering van de huidige preventieprogramma’s. Dit kan bijvoorbeeld door het verbeteren van de manier waarop de sporters …

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 …

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 …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs have been successful in the short term. Motor learning strategies with an internal focus (IF) to body movements have traditionally been utilized, but may be less suitable than an external focus (EF) for the acquisition and control of complex …

Objectives: The strategy for dynamic postural stability might be different for male and female players. Additionally, dynamic and challenging tasks are recommended to measure differences in postural stability between injured and non-injured players. Therefore, the dynamic stability index (DSI) was developed …

The seventh ACL Research Retreat was held March 19–21, 2015, in Greensboro, North Carolina. The retreat brought together clinicians and researchers to present and discuss the most recent advances in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury epidemiology, risk factor identification, and injury risk screening …

: 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. …
