　View Summary

To investigate the domains of physical activity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to compare these findings to typically developed (TD) children. Methods: A cross-sectional study design. Responses of the four domains in Play Lifestyle and Activity in Youth (PLAY) questionnaire were descriptively analyzed and compared between children with CP (GMFCS I-II) and TD children. Results: Fifty-three children with CP (N = 53, 36 males and 17 females, age of 8.4 ± 1.7 years) and 58 TD children (N = 58, 34 males and 24 females, age of 7.6 ± 1.4 years) participated in this study. In analyses of daily behavior, reported participation in weekly (adaptive) physical education (PE) and sports were more frequent in children with CP (0.6 ± 0.5 days per week) compared to TD children (0.4 ± 0.6 days per week, p = 0.040). Outside play time including free play, organized (adaptive) sports and recess were higher in children with CP (2.7 ± 0.8 days per week) than TD children (2.4 ± 0.7 days per week, p = 0.022). About motivation/attitudes, a higher proportion of TD children feel sad if they are not able to play sports during the day (74.1%) compared to children with CP (48.7%, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Physical activity level was comparable between children with CP and age-matched TD children, while TD children showed higher scores in knowledge and understanding, motivation/attitudes, and physical competence.

　View Summary

OBJECTIVE: To compare the common injuries of pre-high school American football quarterbacks (Pre-HS QBs) and high school American football quarterbacks (HS QBs) within the last 15 years. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed at a sports medicine clinic at a tertiary-level pediatric medical center. Pediatric and adolescent American football quarterback patients who sustained sports-related injuries were extracted. Injury status (acute vs. overuse), injured anatomic locations, injury types, and surgical status were compared by Pre-HS QBs (<14 years old) and HS QBs (14-18 years old). RESULTS: A total of 121 injuries were found in 118 male Pre-HS QBs (mean age: 12.4 ± 1.6), while 302 injuries were observed in 256 male HS QBs (mean age: 15.8 ± 1.4). Overall, nearly two-third (2/3) of injuries were acute (64.3%) while a little over one-third (1/3) of injuries were overuse in nature (35.7%), and there were no differences between Pre-HS and HS QBs (58.7% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.114). The top 3 injured anatomic locations for Pre-HS QBs were elbow (20.7%), shoulder (18.2%), and head/neck (14.0%). For HS QBs, the top 3 injured anatomic locations were shoulder (24.5%), knee (17.5%), and head/neck (15.2%). There were significant differences in proportion of elbow (20.7% vs. 10.6%, p = 0.006), hip/trunk/upper leg (10.7% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.002), and knee injuries (9.1% vs. 17.5%, p = 0.028) between Pre-HS and HS QBs. Pre-HS QBs had significantly more bony/cartilaginous/labral injuries than their older counterparts (60.3% vs. 46.3%, p = 0.009) while HS QBs experienced significantly more ligamentous injuries than Pre-HS QBs (14.2% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: QB-associated injuries were distinctively different between Pre-HS and HS QBs. Future studies are warranted to investigate relatively high proportions of elbow injuries as well as bony/cartilaginous/labral injuries found in Pre-HS QBs.

　View Summary

OBJECTIVE: To investigate clinical diagnoses, sports participation, and return to sport timeline associated with hallux sesamoid injuries with sex comparisons. DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. SETTING: Sports medicine clinics at a tertiary-level pediatric medical center. PATIENTS: Six hundred eighty-three young athletes (546 women and 137 men). INDEPENDENT VARIABLES: Sex (women vs men). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical diagnoses, participating sports, and injury timeline. RESULTS: The most common diagnosis was sesamoiditis (62.6%). The top 3 primary sports were dance (34.6%), running (13.7%), and soccer (11.7%). When stratified by sex, dance (40.1%), running (13.6%), and soccer (10.7%) were the top primary sports for women while running (19.4%), soccer (18.5%), and basketball (11.3%) were the leading diagnoses for male athletes. The mean time between injury occurrence and first clinic visit was 135.5 ± 229.3 days. The mean time between the first clinic visit and return to sport was 104.3 ± 128.2 days. Comparison by sex showed that women had a longer mean time than men (women: 111.5 ± 132.5 days, men: 67.2 ± 96.3 days, P = 0.001). The mean time from injury occurrence to return to sport was 235.2 ± 281.0 days. Women showed a longer mean timeline for return to sport compared with men (women: 245.2 ± 288.2 days, men: 179.3 ± 231.9 days, P = 0.014). CONCLUSION: Sesamoiditis was the most common diagnosis, and dance, running, and soccer were top 3 sports. The most salient finding was that women taking almost twice as long to return the sport or activity compared with men, which likely stems from delay of reporting symptom onset to clinics.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: The identified domains of child physical literacy include knowledge/understanding, behavior, motivation/confidence, and physical competency. Understanding physical literacy is critical to moving forward intervention efforts surrounding physical inactivity. OBJECTIVES: To investigate physical literacy domains by presenting responses to the Play, Lifestyle & Activity in Youth (PLAY) questionnaire and analyze the relationship between comparable questions in the child and parent sections. DESIGN: Cross-sectional questionnaire study. SETTING: Suburban youth program, United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Parent and child responses to the PLAY questionnaire. RESULTS: Questionnaire data were collected for 106 children 6-11 years old and 91 parents. Children (93.3%, 83/91) reported enjoyment in physical education, despite 70% participation in physical education 0-1 day/week. 66.6% (26/91) of children preferred active to passive play and played outside most days/week (5.0 median). Similarly, a high proportion of children (93.3%, 83/91) reported feeling that they physically performed similar to or higher than their peers and took ownership to improve motor competency versus taking a more passive approach. Most children (96.7%, 87/91) reported feeling happy when they were able to play sports/run around, enjoyed gym class (93.3%, 83/91), and reported feeling sad if they cannot play sports/run around during the day (75.6%, 68/91). Parents and children reported rules around screen time and bed time, and reinforced these rules often. Child and parent responses were associated for comparable questions about bedtime and screen-time/media rules, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day, sport camp preference, and play equipment use (Fisher's p = .051 screen time, p < .001 other questions). CONCLUSIONS: PLAY questionnaire internal validity showed agreement between comparable parent and child responses and an association for select comparable questions.

　View Summary

[Purpose] To identify running gait biomechanics associated with sacroiliac (SI) joint pain in female runners compared to healthy controls. [Participants and Methods] In this case-control study, treadmill running gait biomechanics of female runners diagnosed SI joint pain, (by ultrasound-guided diagnostic SI joint injection and/or ≥2 positive SI physical exam maneuvers) were compared with age, height, mass, and BMI matched healthy female runners. Sagittal and coronal plane treadmill running video angles were measured and compared. [Results] Eighteen female runners with SI pain, and 63 matched controls, were analyzed. There was no difference in age, height, mass, or BMI between groups. At the point of initial contact, runners with SI joint pain demonstrated less knee flexion, greater tibial overstride, and greater ankle dorsiflexion, compared to controls. In midstance, runners with SI pain had greater contralateral pelvic drop compared to controls. For unilateral SI joint pain cases (N=15), greater contralateral pelvic drop was observed when loading their affected side compared to the unaffected side. [Conclusion] Female runners with SI joint pain demonstrated greater contralateral pelvic drop during midstance phase; along with less knee flexion, greater "tibial overstride", and greater ankle dorsiflexion at initial contact compared to controls.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: Apophyseal injuries are common in children and adolescent athletes. These injuries are believed to be caused by repetitive overloading, which can create inflammatory and degenerative conditions in growing bone prominences. However, their prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment in young soccer players have been understudied. PURPOSE: To evaluate characteristics of apophyseal injuries in adolescent athletes at an elite soccer academy. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: All apophyseal injuries between July 2008 and June 2015 were evaluated. For each injury, the authors recorded the type and location, age of the player, injury date, imaging modalities, and time absent from training/competition. RESULTS: Over the 7 seasons of this study, 210 apophyseal injuries were documented, including 172 simple apophyseal injuries and 38 apophyseal avulsion fractures. The rate of apophyseal injuries was 0.35 per 1000 hours of training exposure. A total of 196 (93.3%) cases were primary injuries, and the rest (6.7%) were reinjuries. Ultrasonography was the most commonly used imaging modality for diagnosis (172 cases; 81.9%). The most common location of apophyseal injuries was the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS). Return to sport was faster in athletes with apophyseal injury at the ischiopubic ramus, those with simple apophyseal injuries, and younger athletes. CONCLUSION: The most common location for apophyseal injury among soccer players was the AIIS. Return to training and competition differed according to injury location, type of apophyseal injury, and age.

　View Summary

Background: Current clinical screening tools assessing risky movements during cutting maneuvers do not adequately address sagittal plane foot and ankle evaluations. The Cutting Alignment Scoring Tool (CAST) is reliable in evaluating frontal plane trunk and lower extremity alignment during a 45-degree side-step cut. The Expanded Cutting Alignment Scoring Tool (E-CAST) includes two new sagittal plane variables, knee flexion and ankle plantarflexion angle. Hypothesis/Purpose: To assess the inter-and intra-rater reliability of the E-CAST to evaluate trunk and lower extremity alignment during a 45-degree side-step cut. Study Design: Repeated Measures. Methods: Participants included 25 healthy females (13.8 ± 1.4 years) regularly participating in cutting or pivoting sports. Participants were recorded performing a side-step cut in frontal and sagittal planes. One trial was randomly selected for analysis. Two physical therapists independently scored each video using the E-CAST on two separate occasions, with randomization and a two-week wash-out between rounds. Observed movement variables were awarded a score of "1", with higher scores representing poorer technique. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and 95% confident intervals (95% CI) were calculated for the total score, and a kappa coefficient (k) was calculated for each variable. Results: The cumulative intra-rater reliability was good (ICC=0.78, 95% CI 0.59-0.96) and the cumulative inter-rater reliability was moderate (ICC=0.71, 95% CI 0.50-0.91). Intra-rater kappa coefficients ranged from moderate to excellent for all variables (k= 0.50-0.84) and inter-rater kappa coefficients ranged from slight to excellent for all variables (k=0.20-0.90). Conclusion: The addition of two sagittal plane variables resulted in lower inter-rater ICC compared to the CAST (ICC= 0.81, 95% CI 0.64-0.91). The E-CAST is a reliable tool to evaluate trunk and LE alignment during a 45-degree side-step cut, with good intra-rater and moderate inter-rater reliability. Level of Evidence: Level 2, Diagnosis.

　View Summary

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female adolescent athletes occur at disproportionately high levels compared to their male counterparts. However, limited prospective data exist on the validity of low-cost screening tools that can proactively identify ACL injury risk, specifically for female athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of a three-task injury risk factor assessment by comparing visually derived outcome scores from two-dimensional (2D) video data with dichotomized three-dimensional (3D) biomechanical variables collected using motion capture technology. A total of 41 female club volleyball athletes (14.7 ± 1.4 years) were tested and asked to perform three tasks: double-leg vertical jump (DLVJ), single-leg squat (SLS), and single-leg drop landing (SLDL). One rater was trained on the scoring criteria for the 2D data and independently scored one forward-facing and one side-facing video for each task. Risk factors identified included poor knee position, lateral trunk lean, and excessive trunk flexion/extension. In addition, 3D joint angles were calculated for the trunk and knee in the sagittal and frontal planes and converted to dichotomous variables based on biomechanical thresholds of injury risk. For comparison of 2D and 3D outcomes, percent agreement and Cohen's kappa were calculated for each risk factor individually. Overall, 2D scores were found to exhibit moderate to excellent percent agreement with 3D outcomes for trunk position (69.1-97.1%). Specifically, ipsilateral trunk lean during single-leg tasks exhibited the highest agreement (85.3-88.2%) with moderate reliability (κ = 0.452-0.465). In addition, moderate to substantial reliability was found for trunk flexion during double-leg tasks (κ = 0.521-0.653); however, an evaluation of single-leg tasks resulted in only fair reliability (κ = 0.354). Furthermore, 2D scores were not successful in identifying poor knee position as percent agreement fell below 50% for both the single-leg tasks and averaged 60% agreement across both the phases of the DLVJ. Kappa coefficients further emphasized these trends indicating no to slight concurrent validity (κ = -0.047-0.167) across tasks. Overall, these findings emphasize the potential for valid, low-cost screening tools that can identify high-risk movement patterns. Further study is needed to develop improved assessment guidelines that may be employed through visual assessment in sports environments.

　View Summary

Objective: 1) to determine the proportion of sport specialization among female figure skaters, 2) to compare proportion of low back injuries between specialized female figure skaters and non-specialized female figure skaters, and 3) to identify an independent risk factor(s) for low back injuries in female figure skaters.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was used. Young female figure skaters were asked questions related to sport specialization and any history of low back injuries. The primary outcome variables were status of sport specialization, weekly training hours, and low back injury. Descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square analyses, and binary logistic regressions were used.Results: Responses from 132 female figure skaters (mean age: 16.3 ± 2.7 years, age range: 8-22 years) were analyzed. Sixty-two percent (82/132) of figure skaters were specialized. Specialized female figure skaters spent more time in training (11.3 ± 6.5 hours/week) than non-specialized skaters (7.6 ± 4.9 hours/week, p = 0.001). No statistical differences were found in proportion of low back injury history between specialized (25.6%) and non-specialized female figure skaters (24.0%, p = 0.836). Chronological age was also identified as an independent risk factor for low back injuries in female figure skaters (aOR: 1.24, 95%CI: 1.00, 1.54, p = 0.048).Conclusions: The majority of female figure skaters in this cohort were specialized. An association between chronological age and low back injuries, found in the current study, may be a result of cumulative effects of participating in figure skating over time.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: The effect of concomitant meniscal tears, and their associated treatment, on strength and functional recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has not been adequately investigated in young populations. HYPOTHESIS: Concomitant meniscal tears, treated with or without repair, would not adversely affect strength, balance, or functional hop test performance at 6 months postoperatively. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The authors retrospectively analyzed return-to-sports (RTS) assessments prospectively collected 6 months after ACLR with hamstring autograft in 165 patients ≤25 years of age. Descriptive, surgical, and RTS testing data were analyzed, and subgroups were compared using analysis of covariance models designed to assess the effects of sex, meniscal tear, and meniscal repair on RTS performance. RESULTS: Included were 115 female (70%) and 50 male (30%) patients with a mean age of 16.4 years (range, 12.3-25 years). Of these patients, 58% had concomitant meniscal tears (59% lateral, 27% medial, 14% lateral + medial), comprising 53% of the female and 70% of the male patients. The authors treated 61% of the tears with repair, with range of motion (ROM) and weightbearing limitations imposed within the first 6 weeks postoperatively, whereas 39% were treated with partial meniscectomy, rasping, or trephination (no ROM or weightbearing restrictions). The mean deficit in hamstring strength at 6 months postoperatively was significantly greater in the meniscal tear group than in those without a tear (32.3% vs 24.6%; P = .028). The meniscal repair group had greater hamstring strength deficits than the group with meniscectomy, rasping or trephination (34.3% vs 26.2%; P = .023). Performance on dynamic balance and functional hop tests was similar among all meniscus subgroups. There were no sex-based effects on any subgroup comparisons. CONCLUSION: At 6 months postoperatively, both young male and young female patients who underwent ACLR with hamstring autograft demonstrated significant hamstring strength deficits compared with their nonoperative leg. The presence of a meniscal tear and subsequent repair, or its related rehabilitation restrictions, appears to have adverse effects on the postoperative recovery of hamstring strength.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: Differences in postoperative recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) between men and women have been demonstrated in the adult population. Sex-based differences have been incompletely investigated in adolescents, which represent the subpopulation most affected by ACL injury. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to compare the 6-month postoperative functional recovery after ACLR between adolescent boys and girls. It was hypothesized that significant differences in postoperative strength, dynamic balance, and functional hop test performance would be seen between the sexes. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Included in this study were athletes aged 12 to 19 years with closed or closing growth plates who underwent ACLR with hamstring autograft between May 2014 and May 2018 at a single institution. All athletes had undergone strength and functional testing between 5 and 8 months postoperatively. Exclusion criteria were previous knee surgery (contralateral or ipsilateral knee), concomitant injury/surgery other than meniscal tear/repair, allograft supplementation, and incomplete medical records. The limb symmetry index (LSI) for strength (measured with handheld dynamometer), as well as dynamic Y-balance and functional hop test performance, was compared between groups. To account for differences in physical characteristics between the sexes, 1-way between-group multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Overall, 543 patients (211 boys, 332 girls) were included. There was no significant difference in age, body mass index, incidence of concomitant meniscal pathology, use of regional anesthesia, or time to functional testing between cohorts. Female athletes demonstrated a statistically significantly greater deficit in quadriceps strength LSI compared with male athletes (boys, +3.4%; girls, -2.3%; P = .011). Both male and female athletes demonstrated 33% hamstring strength deficits, with no statistically significant sex-based differences in dynamic balance or functional hop testing. CONCLUSION: Female athletes demonstrated greater quadriceps strength deficits than male athletes at 6 months after ACLR with hamstring autograft. Severe hamstring strength deficits persisted in both male and female patients at this time point. The correlation of such deficits to risk of ACL retear warrants continued study in the adolescent population and may support a delay in return to sports, which has been suggested in the more recent literature.

　View Summary

OBJECTIVE: (1) To examine the effect of social media (SM) use on sleep quality and (2) to determine the effect of SM on competition performance among college athletes. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Two local Division III colleges, MA, USA. PARTICIPANTS: National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III swim and track and field athletes. INTERVENTION: Data were collected onsite through an SM use form, the lifestyle survey, and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Questionnaire. Participants were divided into 3 groups based on their SM volume: (1) less active SM users (≤2 h/d), (2) moderately active SM users (>2-≤5 h/d), and (3) active SM users (>5 h/d) for analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Sleep quality and sport performance data collected through publicly available competition results. The independent variable, SM volume (hours of SM use per day over 7 days), was collected using the iPhone screen time function. RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 40 male track and field athletes and 47 female track and field (37, 79%) and swimming (10, 21%) athletes. Mean SM use was 4.6 ± 3.4 h/d. The sleep quality of active SM users was worse than less active SM users (P = 0.033). There was an independent association between increased Facebook time and poor performance after adjusting confounders (adjusted odds ratio: 0.990, 95% confidence interval: 0.981-0.999, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS: High SM use has a negative impact on sleep quality and may hinder competition performance among college athletes. These findings may have implications for developing SM use guidelines for college athletes to improve their sleep quality and performance.

OBJECTIVE: Juvenile-onset fibromyalgia (JFM) is a chronic debilitating pain condition that negatively impacts physical, social and academic functioning. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is beneficial in reducing functional disability among adolescents with JFM but has only a modest impact on pain reduction and does not improve physical exercise participation. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to test whether a novel intervention that combines CBT with specialized neuromuscular exercise training (the Fibromyalgia Integrative Training program for Teens "FIT Teens") is superior to CBT alone or a graded aerobic exercise (GAE) program. DESIGN/METHODS: This 3-arm multi-site RCT will examine the efficacy of the FIT Teens intervention in reducing functional disability (primary outcome) and pain intensity (secondary outcome), relative to CBT or GAE. All interventions are 8-weeks (16 sessions) in duration and are delivered in small groups of 4-6 adolescents with JFM. A total of 420 participants are anticipated to be enrolled across seven sites with approximately equal allocation to each treatment arm. Functional disability and average pain intensity in the past week will be assessed at baseline, post-treatment and at 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month follow-up. The 3-month follow-up is the primary endpoint to evaluate treatment efficacy; longitudinal assessments will determine maintenance of treatment gains. Changes in coping, fear of movement, biomechanical changes and physical fitness will also be evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: This multi-site RCT is designed to evaluate whether the combined FIT Teens intervention will have significantly greater effects on disability and pain reduction than CBT or GAE alone for youth with JFM.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis is considered the gold standard for evaluating human movement. However, its clinical utility is limited due to cost, operating expertise, and lengthy data processing time. Numerous qualitative scoring systems have been introduced to assess trunk and lower extremity biomechanics during functional tasks. However, the reliability of qualitative scoring systems to evaluate cutting movements is understudied. Purpose/Hypotheses: To assess the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Cutting Alignment Scoring Tool (CAST) among sports medicine providers and to evaluate rater agreement of each component of the CAST. The hypotheses were: 1) there would be good-to-excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability among sports medicine providers, 2) there would be good to almost perfect agreement for cut width and trunk lean variables and moderate to good agreement for valgus variables of the CAST. STUDY DESIGN: Repeated Measures. METHODS: Ten videos of a 45-degree side-step cut performed by adolescent athletes were independently rated on two occasions by six raters (2 medical doctors, 2 physical therapists, and 2 athletic trainers). The variables assessed include trunk lean to the opposite direction of the cut, increased cut width, knee valgus at initial load acceptance (static), and knee valgus throughout the task (dynamic). Variables were scored as either present, which were given a score of "1", or not present, which were given a score of "0". Video sequence was randomized in each rating session, and a two-week wash out period was given. RESULTS: The cumulative inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities were good (ICC: 0.808 and ICC: 0.753). Almost perfect kappa coefficients were recorded for cut width (k=0.949). Moderate kappa coefficients were found for trunk lean (k= 0.632) and fair kappa coefficients were noted for dynamic and static valgus (k=0.462 and k= 0.533 respectively). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the CAST is a reliable tool to evaluate trunk and LE alignment during a cutting task by sports medicine providers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 2 Diagnosis.

International Journal of Morphology 39 ( 1 ) 260 - 267 2021.02

　View Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of age on peak torque (PT) relative strength measures of knee extensors (KE) and knee flexors (KF), bilateral strength ratio (Q:Q, H:H), and ipsilateral strength ratio (H:Q) in youth elite male football players.Elite male players (n = 70) from four age categories (U16: n = 20, U17: n = 20, U19: n = 15, U21: n = 15) performed isokinetic strength tests using a Cybex dynamometer. Results show a significant effect of age on PTKE (F3,142 = 4.54, p = 0.005, = 0.09) and PTKF (age: F3,142 = 3.07, p = 0.030, = 0.06). No significant effect of age on unilateral (F3,142 = 1.05, p = 0.375, = 0.02) or ipsilateral strength ratio (F3,142 = 2.63, p = 0.053, = 0.06) was found. Results revealed significant differences in PTKE for nondominant limbs between U16 and U21. Higher bilateral differences were detected for flexors (H:H = 7.94–11.47 %, Q:Q = 7.97–9.29 %) compared to extensors. Our study showed that 17-year-old players have levels of strength similar to U19 players. A higher bilateral difference of knee flexors than extensors was found, suggesting that more attention should be paid to knee flexors. No effect of laterality was found for strength and strength asymmetries. Future research should also focus on ipsilateral strength ratio in late stage of maturation.

　View Summary

Purpose: To investigate the quantity and quality of sleep hours in young athletes in a professional football club, to study if there is a significant relationship with mood state and subjective well-being, and to identify the relationship between sleep and quarterly academic performance. We also explored the relationship between sleep and quarterly academic performance. Method: the study included 261 players of the various age group categories from football at Barcelona Football Club (average age:13.04 ± 3.16). Participants maintained a sleep diary and completed questionnaires on their mood state and the quantity and quality of their sleep. Results: 70% of the athletes slept less hours than recommended by the American National Sleep Foundation. Athletes with worse quantity and quality of sleep showed negative effects on academic results. Conclusions: The results show that the majority of young players sleep less than recommended and show that those who sleep more hours obtain better academic results.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of research on the effects of a postoperative rehabilitation program on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft rupture. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that a hip-focused rehabilitation protocol with graft rupture education and avoidance training (HIP-GREAT program) would demonstrate lower ACL graft rupture rates compared with a traditional physical therapy (PT) program. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: This study consisted of young athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction at a single institution. Postoperatively, 136 participants (mean age, 16.9 ± 2.4 years) were enrolled in a traditional PT protocol between 2006 and 2010, and 153 participants (mean age, 17.0 ± 2.3 years) were enrolled in the HIP-GREAT protocol between 2011 and 2015. Follow-up rates were 31% (42/136) and 27% (41/153) in the traditional PT and HIP-GREAT groups, respectively, at 3 years postoperatively. The hazard ratio was calculated, and absolute risk reduction (ARR) and number-needed-to-treat (NNT) analyses were performed to compare the 2 protocols. RESULTS: ACL graft rupture occurred in 10 patients (7.4%) in the traditional PT group and 5 patients (3.3%) in the HIP-GREAT group. This difference was not statistically significant (hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.14 to 1.16; P = .09). The ARR was 0.041 (95% CI, -0.011 to 0.093), and the NNT was 24.5. CONCLUSION: This study did not demonstrate a statistically significant reduction of ACL graft rupture in patients in the HIP-GREAT group. However, high ARR values and low NNT values were found, which suggests the possible effectiveness of the HIP-GREAT protocol to reduce ACL graft ruptures in young athletes.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: Improper pitching mechanics are a risk factor for arm injuries. While 3-dimensional (3D) motion analysis remains the gold standard for evaluation, most pitchers and clinicians do not have access to this costly technology. Recent advances in 2-dimensional (2D) video technology provide acceptable resolution for clinical analysis. However, no systematic assessment tools for pitching analysis exist. PURPOSE: To determine the reliability of the Assessment of biomeChanical Efficiency System (ACES) screening tool using 2D video analysis to identify common biomechanical errors in adolescent pitchers. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional. METHODS: Adolescent baseball pitchers underwent analysis using 2D video in indoor settings. Observational mechanics were collected using a 20-item scoring tool (ACES) based on 2D video analysis. Fleiss' kappa, interclass correlation coefficients (ICC), and frequencies were used to examine intra-/interrater reliability based on common pitching errors. RESULTS: Twenty asymptomatic pitchers ages 12-18 years were included. Total ACES scores ranged from 1 to 13, normally distributed. ACES total score demonstrated excellent intra-rater reliability within each rater (ICC for rater 1 = 0.99 (95% CI; 0.98, 0.99); ICC for rater 2 = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.97); ICC for rater 3 = 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96, 0.99)). There was excellent interrater reliability across the trials and raters (ICC = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.96). The ACES tool demonstrated acceptable kappas for individual items and strong ICC 0.91 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.96) for total scores across the trials. Regarding identification of biomechanical errors, "front side position" was rated erroneous in 84/120 ratings (70%), stride length in 52/120 ratings (43.3%) and lead hip position in 53/120 ratings (44.2%). CONCLUSIONS: The 20-item ACES scoring tool with 2D video analysis demonstrated excellent intra- and interrater reliability when utilized by raters of different musculoskeletal disciplines. Future studies validating 2D vs. 3D methodology are warranted before ACES is widely disseminated and utilized for adolescent pitchers. ACES is a practical and reliable clinical assessment tool utilizing 2D video analysis for coaches, instructors, and sports medicine providers to screen adolescent pitchers for common biomechanical errors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b.

BMJ open sport & exercise medicine 7 ( 4 ) e001169 2021 [Refereed] [International journal]

　View Summary

OBJECTIVE: To compare femoroacetabular (FA) translation between dancers and athletes with hip pain and between dancers with and without hip pain. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 171 female athletes and dancers with hip pain underwent dynamic hip ultrasound (DHUS) of FA translation in three positions: neutral (N), neutral with contralateral hip flexion (NF), apprehension position with contralateral hip flexion (EER-F). Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to assess variation in FA translation between dancers and athletes in the presence of age, Beighton score/hypermobility, BMI, radiographic markers of acetabular dysplasia and femoral version angles. Symptomatic dancers were matched to asymptomatic dancer controls on age, height and BMI, and comparison analyses of FA translation were conducted controlling for matched propensity score and Beighton score. RESULTS: In the symptomatic cohort, dancers were younger, had higher Beighton scores and were more hypermobile than non-dancers. Dancers also showed greater NF, EER-F and max US-min US (delta) compared with non-dancers (mean 5.4 mm vs 4.4 mm, p=0.02; mean 6.3 mm vs 5.2 mm, p=0.01; 4.2 mm vs 3.6 mm, p=0.03, respectively). Symptomatic dancers showed greater NF and EER-F compared with asymptomatic dancers (mean 5.5 mm vs 2.9 mm, p<0.001; mean 6.3 mm vs 4.2 mm, p<0.001, respectively). Comparison of symptomatic dancers with and without hip dysplasia showed no difference in DHUS measurements. CONCLUSION: DHUS measurements of FA translation are greater in female dancers with hip pain relative to female non-dancer athletes with hip pain and asymptomatic female dancers.

　View Summary

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common anatomical variant in ballet dancers. Cam morphology (a subtype of FAI) and increased alpha angles have been identified as risk factors for hip pain. Ultrasound has recently been used to measure alpha angles in the diagnosis of cam morphology, but its utility remains understudied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound measured alpha angles on hip pain and function scores in elite female adolescent ballet dancers. The alpha angles of 25 dancers (mean age: 15.9 years) were measured using ultrasound and calculated with ImageJ Software. Cam morphology was defined by alpha angles of 60° or greater. Participants rated their hip pain and function using the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) survey. For normally distributed variables, the independent t-test was performed, and for abnormally distributed variables, the Mann-Whitney U Test. Along with mean and standard deviation (SD) values, median score, interquartile range (IQR), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were also analyzed. Significantly lower iHOT-12 scores were found in dancers with alpha angles ≥ 60° (mean ± SD, 74.34 ± 13.01; 95% CIs, 58.18, 90.50, median 67.20; IQR, 18.55), compared to dancers with alpha angles < 60° (mean ± SD, 80.22 ± 15.65; 95% CIs, 72.90, 87.54; median, 81.60; IQR, 16.35; p = 0.001). It is concluded that: 1. elite female adolescent ballet dancers with alpha angles higher than 60° experienced worse hip pain and function; 2. alpha angles may impact hip pain and function in these dancers; and 3. further studies should use a prospective design to investigate the predictive ability of their findings.

　View Summary

BACKGROUND: The physeal-sparing iliotibial band (ITB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is a well-established technique for treating skeletally immature patients with ACL rupture. However, the long-term implications of the procedure on the intricacies of kinetic and kinematic function of the knee have not been comprehensively investigated. PURPOSE: To assess the short-, mid-, and long-term effects of ITB ACLR on kinetic and kinematic parameters of knee functions. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A total of 38 patients who had undergone an ITB ACLR as a skeletally immature child were recruited to participate in a 3-dimensional (3D) motion analysis testing protocol at an institutional injury prevention center between 1 and 20 years after reconstruction. Exclusion criteria were congenital ACL deficiency and any other major knee injury (defined as an injury requiring surgery or rehabilitation >3 months) on either knee. 3D and force plate parameters included in the analysis were knee moment, ground-reaction force, and vertical jump height measured during drop vertical jump and vertical single-limb hop. Paired t tests and equivalency analyses were used to compare the parameters between cases (ITB ACLR limb) and controls (contralateral/nonsurgical limbs). RESULTS: Paired t tests showed no statistically significant differences between limbs, and equivalency analyses confirmed equivalency between limbs for all tested outcome variables. CONCLUSION: The ITB ACLR appears to restore normal, symmetric, physiologic kinetic and kinematic function in the growing knee by 1 year after reconstruction, with maintenance of normal parameters for up to 20 years.

　View Summary

Early sports specialization has been a controversial topic in the field of sports medicine, training, and conditioning. Recent studies report increased sportsrelated injuries in singlesport specialized athletes compared with multisport specialized athletes. Two studies demonstrate the proportions of athletes who focused on a single sport in early ages and advanced to elite level in their later careers are ,1%. Furthermore, performing multiple sports was identified as an indicator for greater future athletic success. Synthesizing available evidence, participating in multiple sports seems more beneficial than focusing on a single sport. It is important to provide adequate recovery time for pediatric and adolescent athletes because they are in a growth spurt process. Finally, because a history of previous injury is evidenced as a risk factor for future sports-related injuries, preventive approaches such as resistance training need to be implemented within a training regimen for youth.

　View Summary

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common problem affecting athletes. Individuals with certain active (movement, training, and growth) and passive (genetics, hormones, anatomy) factors are at increased risk of injury. There is dynamic interplay between the active and passive factors that is directly attributable to an increased risk for ACL injury. Oftentimes, those individuals with both passive and active factors are at the highest risk for ACL injury. Identifying these individuals and providing additional training (i.e., neuromuscular training) have the best potential to mitigate the injury risk.

　View Summary

Along with the increase in number of female athletic participants, the number of resultant athletic injuries among female athletes has also rapidly increased. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is more prevalent in physically active females as compared to their male counterparts in the sports of basketball and soccer. ACL injury was classified into three categorizations based on three common pathomechanics, and the relative distribution of ACL injury was analyzed between sexes. The most common mechanism of ACL injury was noncontact in nature, and such noncontact ACL injury was more prevalent in female athletes as compared to male athletes. Because a majority of ACL injuries occur in noncontact mechanism, especially in female athletes, a few clinical trials were conducted to examine the effectiveness of preventive neuromuscular training on ACL injury reduction in the female population. Recent meta- analytic reports have confirmed significant ACL injury reduction by female athletes who performed preventive neuromuscular training compared to those who did not or only maintained their routine warm-up. Numerous evidence supports the proposition that specific exercises incorporated into preventive neuromuscular training protocols lead to favorable biomechanical alteration in dynamic movements, which likely contribute to ACL injury reduction in female athletes. Future directions of ACL injury research include the development of an effective screening system in order to identify at-risk athletes. Also, a strategy to implement preventive neuromuscular training programs and to enhance compliance and adherence needs to be developed.
