This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Ankle bracing has not been studied for its effects of knee joint kinematics and kinetics in the adolescent female athlete. Hypothesis: A) A statistically significant mean increase of knee joint valgus and extensor moments and valgus angles would be found in the braced group during the drop vertical jump and the single log hop tests and B) A statistically significant mean decrease in knee joint varus and extensor moments and valgus angles will be found between pre- and post-test acclimation periods in the braced condition. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Methods: Fifteen adolescent female athletes performed Drop Vertical Jump (DVJ) and Single Leg Hop (SLH) tests without ankle bracing and with a lace-up style ankle brace. Subjects wore braces over a 1 week period and retested. Results: During the DVJ, bracing increased knee extensor moments during the first 50 ms of landing but had no affect on knee frontal plane moments. Bracing increased vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) within the first 50ms of landing, and peak vGRF with less time to achieve peak vGRF. During the SLH, bracing increased knee flexion at IC and decreased knee frontal plane displacement into valgus. Ankle bracing increased vGRF within the first 50ms of landing and decreased stance time. Conclusions: Ankle bracing increased vGRF and knee extensor moments during the first 50ms of landing. Clinical Relevance: The adolscent female athlete may be at risk for knee injury during the initial landing phse when wearing a lace-up style ankle brace.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Many athletes of various sports have been required to wear ankle braces for prophylactic uses. Ankle braces have been shown to decrease range of motion in all directions, which means the main force absorption mechanism of the ankle may be inhibited. This decrease in force absorption at the ankle may increase the mechanical demands at the more proximal knee and hip joints. In this study, the change in knee, hip and lower back mechanics will be investigated to gain understanding as to whether bracing the ankle could create a higher injury potential. Methods: In this study, 12 intercollegiate basketball players (6 female, 6 male) participated during one session, in which each subject tested for each taping condition (self-adherent, adhesive cloth, and no tape). For each trial, the participants performed three maximum vertical jump trials and three depth drop trials, a 15-minute bout of exercise, and subsequently three more maximum vertical jumps and three more depth drops. The participants' lower body kinematics and kinetics were measured using 3D motion capture and force plates. Results: Analysis of ankle bracing pre- and post-exercise on lower extremity kinematics and kinetics through a two-way MANOVA yielded results that were not significant for any of the variables, including their interaction effect. There was no effect of the three different types of ankle bracing (control, adhesive, and self-adhesive), exercise (pre-and post-), or the interaction of those variables on peak hip flexion, peak knee flexion, peak knee moment, peak hip moment, and peak lumbosacral moment. Conclusion: Ankle bracing had no effect on selected lower body kinematics and kinetics. More research should be done to better understand whether ankle bracing has the potential to increase injury at other joints.
Download or read book The Effects of Ankle Taping and Ankle Bracing on Vertical Jump Performance in Healthy Elite Female Soccer Players written by Laura M. Stroup and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ankle taped, braced, and bare. Therefore, each subject performed eighteen total test jumps for this study. Performance of single-leg vertical jumps initiated from various stride run-up lengths was not significantly affected by ankle taping or bracing. This study failed to show a statistical significance in decreased vertical jump heights in subjects with taped and braced ankles when compared to vertical jump heights in subjects with bare ankles. Ankle taping and bracing are widely accepted practices in sports medicine for injury rehabilitation and prevention. Taping and bracing a sprained ankle allowed athletes to return to sport quickly and safely after sustaining an injury. Researchers found both taping and bracing a sprained ankle reduced the occurrence of reinjury. Athletes often will not compromise performance for safety and injury prevention. Therefore, the chosen prosthetics must not hinder performance as they offer protection. Otherwise, athletes will not be compliant.
Download or read book The Effect of Ankle Prophylactic Bracing on Kinematics of the Lower Body when Landing from a Vertical Jump written by Joshua Paul Rayburn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the ASO ankle brace and the closed Gibney ankle taping method on kinematics of the lower body when landing from a vertical jump. By observing lower limb joint angular kinematics during landing this study may help to identify if ankle prophylactic bracing may increase the potential risk of injury to the more proximal unstabilized knee and hip joints. For this study, 10 females (age: 18-24 years), were randomly selected from a group (N= 24) of well-trained intercollegiate athletes, who had been competitive for at least 4 years in a jumping sport.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare a lace-up ankle brace with a no-brace condition on the ability to return an athlete with CAI to a stable state by measuring the TTS following a jump-landing task. Design: Repeated measures within-subject design. Setting: Athletic Training Research Laboratory. Patients or Participants: Ten subjects, five males and five females (18.5625±.814yr; 174.0963±7.191cm; 69.2937±8.277kg) that fit the criteria for chronic ankle instability participated in this study. Measurements: Subjects participated in two separate testing sessions during which a jump-landing task was performed with one of two conditions: lace-up ankle brace or no ankle brace. The brace condition was randomized. During each session, five trials of a jump-landing task were performed on each leg. The jump-landing task consisted of a single-leg landing from a double-leg jump height equivalent to 50% of the subject's maximum jump height. Subjects jumped off of both feet from a distance 70cm away from the center of the force plate, reached up and touched the indicated marker, and landed on the force plate on a single test limb. The landing leg was randomized. Ground reaction forces were used to calculate TTS in the medial/lateral (MLTTS) and anterior/posterior (APTTS) directions. The independent variables were Condition (brace, no brace) and Side (injured, non-injured). A separate two-within (Condition, Side) repeated measures ANOVA was performed for APTTS and MLTTS. Main Outcome Measure(s): APTTS and MLTTS. Results: For APTTS, the Side by Condition interaction was not statistically significant (F1,9 = .004; p=.952). For MLTTS, the Side by Condition interaction was not statistically significant (F1,9 = .023; p= .884). No measurements were found to be statistically significant in either direction. Conclusion: This study was designed to show if the use of an ankle brace, like the Swede-O Universal would assist those subjects with CAI in reducing the amount of time it takes for them to stabilize after a jump landing task. Although the results of this study do not support these conclusions with statistical significance, it may provide an important direction in examining the connection between TTS, ankle bracing, and those with CAI. There is a definite need for further testing on more subjects with CAI so we can make a better conclusion about the use of the Swede-O Universal and its ability to reduce time to stabilization after a jump-landing task.

Download or read book Handbook of Human Motion written by and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Human Motion is a large cross-disciplinary reference work which covers the many interlinked facets of the science and technology of human motion and its measurement. Individual chapters cover fundamental principles and technological developments, the state-of-the-art and consider applications across four broad and interconnected fields; medicine, sport, forensics and animation. The huge strides in technological advancement made over the past century make it possible to measure motion with unprecedented precision, but also lead to new challenges. This work introduces the many different approaches and systems used in motion capture, including IR and ultrasound, mechanical systems and video, plus some emerging techniques. The large variety of techniques used for the study of motion science in medicine can make analysis a complicated process, but extremely effective for the treatment of the patient when well utilised. The handbook descri bes how motion capture techniques are applied in medicine, and shows how the resulting analysis can help in diagnosis and treatment. A closely related field, sports science involves a combination of in-depth medical knowledge and detailed understanding of performance and training techniques, and motion capture can play an extremely important role in linking these disciplines. The handbook considers which technologies are most appropriate in specific circumstances, how they are applied and how this can help prevent injury and improve sporting performance. The application of motion capture in forensic science and security is reviewed, with chapters dedicated to specific areas including employment law, injury analysis, criminal activity and motion/facial recognition. And in the final area of application, the book describes how novel motion capture techniques have been designed specifically to aid the creation of increasingly realistic animation within films and v ideo games, with Lord of the Rings and Avatar just two examples. Chapters will provide an overview of the bespoke motion capture techniques developed for animation, how these have influenced advances in film and game design, and the links to behavioural studies, both in humans and in robotics. Comprising a cross-referenced compendium of different techniques and applications across a broad field, the Handbook of Human Motion provides the reader with a detailed reference and simultaneously a source of inspiration for future work. The book will be of use to students, researchers, engineers and others working in any field relevant to human motion capture.
