Book The Effects of Prophylactic Ankle Bracing on Knee and Hip Mechanics in Basketball Players During Jump Landing

Download or read book The Effects of Prophylactic Ankle Bracing on Knee and Hip Mechanics in Basketball Players During Jump Landing written by Riann K. Thayer and published by . 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.

Book The Effect of Ankle Bracing on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics During Repeated Single Leg Hop and Drop Vertical Jump in High School Aged Girls

Download or read book The Effect of Ankle Bracing on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics During Repeated Single Leg Hop and Drop Vertical Jump in High School Aged Girls written by Virginia Norene Christensen and published by . 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.

Book The Effect of Ankle Prophylactic Bracing on Kinematics of the Lower Body when Landing from a Vertical Jump

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.

Book Comparison of Methods Simulating the Ankle Sprain Mechanism

Download or read book Comparison of Methods Simulating the Ankle Sprain Mechanism written by Qingjian Chen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this study were to investigate the kinematics of two ankle brace testing protocols. They were drop landing on a slanted surface and the inversion drop test. Difference in kinematics and ground reaction forces of drop landing wearing an ankle brace on flat and lateral slant surfaces were also investigated. Eleven healthy subjects performed five trials in each of six dynamic movement conditions. They were an ankle inversion drop test on the inversion platform, drop landing from 0.45 m onto slant surface, and drop landing from 0.45 m onto flat surface with and without an ankle brace. A 7-camera motion analysis system was used to obtain the threedimensional kinematics. In addition, a force platform was used to measure the ground reaction forces (GRF) during drop landing. A 2 x 2 (brace x movement) repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate selected variables for inversion drop test and landing on slant surface (p

Book Evaluation of Biomechanical and Neuromuscular Effects of Prophylactic Knee Brace Use Following Exercise

Download or read book Evaluation of Biomechanical and Neuromuscular Effects of Prophylactic Knee Brace Use Following Exercise written by Elora C Brenneman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of knee braces prophylactically is still considered as an approach for injury mitigation for those in high-risk sporting activities, though their use is not fully supported. The purpose of this thesis was to examine biomechanical and neuromuscular effects of prophylactic brace wear following standardized repetitive exercise. Twelve participants participated and acted as their own control. The participants were required to participate in two sessions, one control session with no brace and one intervention session with the application of a off-the-shelf prophylactic knee brace. Pre-and post-exercise intervention single leg drop landings were recorded to examine the effects of an acute exercise stimulus on the neuromuscular and biomechanical effects of brace wear. Additionally, trials were collected at 30-minutes post-exercise to examine residual effects of the brace wear on landing kinematics and kinetics. Difference tests using analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there was a minimal effect of the prophylactic knee brace on biomechanical and neuromuscular variables following exercise as well as 30-minutes following knee brace removal. Further research may be required to identify if braces can be worn prophylactically to reduce the risk of injury during activity.
