Download or read book Ankle Bracing as a Mediator of the Influence of Attentional Foci on Landing Mechanics in Healthy Females written by Mackenzie Haines and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Biomechanics risk factors observed during landing task have been identified such as decreased hip and knee flexion, increased knee valgus, hip adduction and hip external rotation. These patterns have been related to the increase risk for ACL injury and could also be observed with decreased ankle range of motion (ROM). The effects of different forms of attentional focused instruction has been studied and is thought to optimize landing mechanics; decreasing risk for ACL injury. This has not yet been explored in a population with an external mechanical restriction such as an ankle brace. Objective: To determine the effects of lace-up ankle bracing and attentional focused instruction on lower extremity kinematics and kinetics during a landing task in healthy females Design: Crossover. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: 19 healthy females. Inclusion: aged 18-35, physically active with minimal familiarity of drop vertical jump task (DVJ). Exclusion: lower extremity musculoskeletal injury within last 6 months, history of lower extremity injury, vestibular, balance or connective tissue disorders, or history of ankle sprains. Interventions: Independent variables included condition (brace vs. no brace) and mode of attentional focus (external focus (EF) , internal focus (IF), neutral). All participants completed five DVJ trails for each different modes of attentional focus instruction for both bracing conditions. Main Outcome Measures: 3D trunk and lower extremity kinematics and kinetics were analyzed during landing phase of DVJ from initial contact to peak knee flexion Results: Bracing decreased peak ankle dorsiflexion (19.6°± 6.4° vs 25.9°± 5.3°) compared to non-braced. In the bracing vs. nonbraced condition, EF increased peak hip abduction (-3.8°±5.0° vs. -1.7°±4.2°), hip flexion (83.6°±14.3° vs. 79.0°±16.1°), and decreased knee valgus (-13.8°±6.6° vs. - 14.9°± 6.9°). Conclusion: EF instruction can aid in optimizing landing mechanics in healthy female population with mechanical restriction at the ankle is in place.

Download or read book Lateral Ankle Instability written by Hélder Pereira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superbly illustrated, up-to-date reference textbook covers all aspects of ankle instability and its management. Readers will find extensive information on biomechanics, injury prevention, current strategies for conservative treatment, and established and emerging surgical techniques. The most recent procedures, particularly those which are minimally invasive and arthroscopically assisted, are described and discussed in depth. Detailed attention is also devoted to controversies such as the indications and timing for conservative or surgical treatment, the current and future roles of arthroscopy, the definition of “anatomic” repair, and the upcoming concept of “anatomic reconstruction” (replication of anatomy by using a graft). The book is published in cooperation with ESSKA, and the chapter authors include clinicians and scientists working in the field of foot and ankle orthopaedics and sports medicine from across the world. All who are involved in the care of patients suffering from ankle instability, including amateur and high-level athletes, will find Lateral Ankle Instability to be an excellent source of knowledge and a valuable aid to clinical practice.

Download or read book Essential Foot and Ankle Surgical Techniques written by Christopher F. Hyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook brings together a unique vision and multidisciplinary approach – embracing and combining MD, DO and DPM foot and ankle training disciplines – into a singular focus on improving and mastering surgical treatment of foot and ankle disorders. It opens with a chapter presenting the specific preoperative considerations and protocols commonly followed by foot and ankle surgeons of all specialties. Divided into three main thematic sections detailing the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot, each subsequent chapter follows a consistent chapter format presenting case examples, key surgical set-up and equipment needs and step-by-step clinical pearls for surgical excellence. Post-operative care and rehabilitation recommendations are also included for a well-rounded presentation of care from start to finish. Both common and complex pathologies and injuries are discussed, from bunion and hammertoe management to the Charcot foot and ankle, total ankle replacement, arthroscopy and arthroplasty techniques, amputations and biologics. Generous figures and intraoperative photos illustrate the procedures in vivid detail. The subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery is a highly specialized one, which is constantly evolving and improving. This speaks to the complexity of the foot and ankle complex, the multiple levels and articulations of the foot and the variety of pathologies encountered. This textbook leans on the unique experience and training of the OFAC attending surgeons and past fellows to reveal the pearls and keys to the efficient surgical treatment of the full gamut of foot and ankle pathologies. Ideally suited for residents and students whether MD, DO or DPM, Essential Foot and Ankle Surgical Techniques - EFAST for short - is a dynamic, multidisciplinary resource that covers the full range of pathologies and injuries an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist would encounter in daily practice.

Download or read book Ehlers Danlos Syndrome A Multidisciplinary Approach written by J.W.G. Jacobs and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients and practitioners. It is intended for use in daily clinical practice rather than as a reference book for research or the latest developments, and has been written to be understandable for any healthcare worker or educated patient without compromise to the scientific content. The book is organized as follows: chapters on classifications and genetics are followed by chapters on individual types, organ (system) manifestations and complications, and finally ethics and therapeutic strategies, with an appendix on surgery and the precautions which should attend it. A special effort has been made to take account of the perspective of the patient; two of the editors have EDS. The book will be of interest to patients with hypermobility syndromes and their families, as well as to all those healthcare practitioners who may encounter such syndromes in the course of their work.
