In Nederland wordt het aantal knieblessures steeds hoger. Het grootste aantal hiervan bestaat uit voorste kruisband (VKB)-rupturen. Het grootste deel van de VKB-rupturen komt voort uit een non-contact mechanisme. Tijdens de vroege fase van de deceleratie komen de grootste krachten naar voren, dit is …

Interventions for reducing fear of reinjury in rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Context: Up to 90% of pediatric athletes return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R); however, <50% RTS at the same level and second ACL injury rates are up to 32%. Objectives: (1) Determine which physical and patient-reported outcome measures guide clinical decision-making …

Het patellofemorale pijnsyndroom is een van de meest voorkomende knieaandoening die artsen zien, die valt onder de categorie anterieure kniepijn. De knieschijf heeft hierbij een onjuiste sporing. Het blijkt dat een zwakkere quadriceps een risicofactor is voor het ontwikkelen van het PFPS. Daarnaast …

Background: Different surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA) exist, without predisposition when it comes to dislocation risk. The direct anterior approach (DAA) is thought to have reduced risk since soft tissue trauma is minimalized. Therefore, we assessed the dislocation risk for different …

The aim of the present study was to investigate if the presence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors depicted in the laboratory would reflect at-risk patterns in football-specific field data. Twenty-four female footballers (14.9 ± 0.9 year) performed unanticipated cutting maneuvers …

Background: Experienced assessors show good intra-rater reproducibility (within-session and between-session agreement and reliability) when using an algometer to determine pressure pain thresholds (PPT). However, it is unknown whether novice assessors perform equally well. This study aimed to determine …

Modifiable (biomechanical and neuromuscular) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors have been identified in laboratory settings. These risk factors were subsequently used in ACL injury prevention measures. Due to the lack of ecological validity, the use of on-field data in the ACL injury …
