This book was released on 2003 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The current study compared the effects of ankle stabilizers on the vertical jump, agility, and dynamic balance performance. The ankle stabilizers utilized were Swede-O Ankle Lok Brace, Air-Cast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace, athletic taping, and the nonsupport condition. Vertical jump performance was measured using the vertical jump test, agility performance was measured using the Right-Boomerang Run test, and dynamic balance performance was measured using the Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance. No statistically significant (p = .27) difference existed in the heights of the jumps performed by participants (N = 10) in the vertical jump test. No statistically significant difference (p = .08) existed in the points obtained by participants in the Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance. A statistically significant difference (p = .03) existed in the run times obtained by participants in the Right Boomerang Run test for agility. A post-hoc Bonferroni test did not show any significant differences in the pairwise comparisons. Standardized effect sizes revealed similar decrements in performance when using any type of ankle stabilizer in comparison to the nonsupport condition. Ankle stabilizers are primarily designed to restrict inversion and eversion of the ankles. Vertical jumping mostly requires dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, and thus might not be affected when using ankle stabilizers. The rigidity offered by the ankle stabilizers might make it more difficult for the participants to change direction quickly enough, which could hinder have hindered agility performance. The test for dynamic balance did not require quick changes in direction. As ankle tape was custom-molded for every participant, the Swede-O Ankle Lok Brace was worn like regular shoes, and the ability to change directions quickly, which is negatively affected when using the Air Cast Air-Stirrup ankle brace was not tested for dynamic balance, the dynamic balance performance was probably not negatively affected when using any ankle stabilizer.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musculoskeletal injuries sustained during physical training and sports-related activities are the greatest threat to military force readiness. Injuries sustained during physical training are one of the principal reasons for the inability of service men and women to be deployed and for the almost 25 million limited duty days accrued annually. Ankle sprains have been shown to be a leading cause for military disability and are a long-term health care issue, potentially leading to a medical discharge. Military parachuting studies have demonstrated the benefits of using an outside-the-boot ankle brace to reduce the risk for sustaining an ankle injury, but the use of ankle bracing on other performance measures in the military have not been established. The first chapter of this dissertation focused on reviewing existing literature that investigated the effects of ankle bracing on functional performance measures in civilian populations. It was concluded in the literature that ankle braces, used in healthy physically active populations, have little statistical impact on balance and functional performance measures. The second chapter of this dissertation focused on reviewing how ankle braces effect performance measures in military specific populations. At this point, only one study has specifically evaluated how these devices affect performance measures, and the remaining studies focused only on the reduction of ankle injuries. Due to the lack of literature available, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ankle braces on dynamic balance and three functional performance measures in a Reserve Officers Training Corps. This randomized crossover study indicated significant results in which ankle braces do create negative effects for balance reach distances, max jump height, max jump distance, and obstacle course completion time. This is the first study to evaluate ankle braces in a military sample while wearing battle dress uniform, combat boots, and a loaded rucksack.

Download or read book The Effects of Prophylactic Ankle Bracing on Collegiate Women s Basketball Ankle Range of Motion Static Balance and Dynamic Balance written by Damian Ignacio Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ankle braces are often used by athletic trainers across the nation in hopes of preventing ankle related injuries. Since prophylactic ankle braces are widely used and accepted, it is critical to understand the effects prophylactic ankle braces are having on ankle functionality and postural control both in a braced and non-braced state. However, the effects of prophylactic ankle braces over the period of a season has limited research. Thirteen collegiate women's basketball players, who are required to wear prophylactic ankle braces through a 20-week season, participated in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prophylactic ankle bracing on passive range of motion, static balance (COG displacement, COG pattern tracking over a period of time), and dynamic balance (COG displacement in a dynamic setting, COG pattern tracking over a period, reach measures through SEBT) in collegiate women's basketball players across a 20-week season span. We rejected the null hypothesis and found differences in ROM, increases in Postural Stability scores, and improvements with Limits of Stability (LOS) scores. We also found a significant decrease in the anterior/lateral quadrant of the ASL test which suggests a change in COG placement over the 20-week span of the season. Although wearing prophylactic ankle bracing over the period of season showed shifts in ROM, improvements in COG location and postural stability scores, further research is needed on wearing ankle braces over a long period of time to determine when these changes are happening.

Download or read book Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology written by Karen Clippinger and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karen Clippinger’s first edition of Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology was hailed as the definitive text on the topic. This new edition builds on that success by retaining its scientific perspective while making the material more accessible to students and teachers. What’s New? • A suite of online instructor and student ancillaries to support the text • An improved organization that will help teachers better cover the content in their courses • A reduction of the scientific depth to produce a more reader-friendly book that focuses on the musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology that dancers need to know • Graphics, photos, and anatomical illustrations that demonstrate muscle movements and technique considerations and set the book apart from others in its field Primary Focus While much is new in this second edition, Clippinger retains her emphasis on presenting the anatomical and kinesiological material that is essential for dancers to understand. The text includes descriptions of joint structure, key muscles, common alignment problems, select joint mechanics, and movement analysis and includes sample strength and flexibility exercises for each region of the body. Accessible to a Wider Audience Clippinger has made this second edition more engaging to a wider audience and narrowed the scope of the material so it can be more readily covered in a single undergraduate course. And while many of the text examples are dance-specific, its applied nature and its many illustrations make it a great reference for Pilates, yoga, and fitness instructors as well as dance educators and dedicated dancers. New Ancillaries • An instructor guide featuring a sample syllabus and course outline, chapter outlines, lab assignments, answers to review questions, and sample tests • A presentation package providing slides with text and graphics that reinforce key points • A student web resource including assignments, outlines, study sheets, and 20 video clips that demonstrate technique and correction guidelines This new edition will give teachers a clearer picture of the anatomical and kinesiological factors that aid in generating technique cues and identifying technique problems. It will provide dancers with a better understanding of overcoming technique challenges and preventing injuries. Its solid grounding in the sciences, along with the art and accessible text, will help teachers become more effective and empower dancers to realize their potential and artistic vision. Quotes The first edition of Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology was hailed by reviewers as “most likely to become the definitive text in dance anatomy, kinesiology, and conditioning classes” (Journal of Dance Medicine and Science); “a must for any dance teacher who is serious about helping their students” (Australia Dance Teacher Magazine); and “the most substantive dance science resource to date” (Journal of Dance Education).

This book was released on 2010 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unknown whether the application of an ankle brace can increase dynamic stability to overcome the effects of fatigue in those individuals with CAI. Ankle dynamic stability was assessed before and after a functional fatigue protocol using the Time to Stabilization (TTS) method. Prior to the functional task, dynamic stability was measured using a single leg jump landing at 50% of the subjects' maximum vertical jump height. The functional fatigue circuit was repeated until the time it took to complete the circuit increased to 50% of the baseline time. Immediately after fatigue was reached, the single leg jump landing measures were repeated. This protocol was performed with and without an ankle brace. For APTTS, the main effect for Group was statistically significant (F= 4.15; p= .05). Subjects in the CAI group (1.291"0.179s) took significantly longer to stabilize than those in the healthy group (1.191"0.10s). There were no other significant results found. The results of our study provide questions regarding the use of ankle braces for improving dynamic stability measured with TTS in both a healthy population and those with CAI. Further research, with a larger sample size should be conducted to make a better decision regarding the effectiveness of ankle braces in improving single-leg jump landing stabilization.
