Active clinical trials for "Athletic Injuries"

Biological samples are important human genetic resources, which can provide great value for medical research, and how to protect and rationally utilize them is of great importance.However, at present, the blood samples after laboratory examination and the damaged tissue cleaned up in the operation will be treated as medical waste and treated according to the standard of medical waste.However, if these samples can be effectively collected and reasonably used, they can provide extremely high value for the study of sports injury-related diseases.Sports injury and joint structure belongs to multiple factors cause abnormal, through the degenerative osteoarthritis, cruciate ligament injury, patellar dislocation, discoid meniscus injury related basic research project establishment and collect the founding the research institute of sports medicine treated patients with sports injury, including degenerative osteoarthritis, intraoperative tissue, blood and saliva samples,To sample from the micro level of susceptibility genes and molecular signaling pathways to anatomical morphology and histopathologic study direction, and so on, can also for multiple transverse comparison research between samples, in order to investigate sports injury, including degenerative osteoarthritis pathogenesis, for sports trauma related disease etiology, diagnosis, treatment to provide new ideas and methods,And the selection of athletes, athletes special training plans, sports mode to provide more targeted suggestions.This study strictly complied with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Management of Human Genetic Resources to establish the Institute of Sports Medicine Sample Bank, which can reduce the waste of human genetic resources in China, promote the development of the discipline, and provide a higher platform for the study of sports injure-related diseases.

The primary aim of this hybrid-effectiveness-implementation cluster randomised study is to investigate if a supported implementation of an injury prevention exercise program (Happy program) involving a train-the-trainer workshop and coach support during the season is superior to an unsupported implementation of the Happy program involving the availability of the program on webpages, in improving adherence (volume, frequency, duration) of the Happy program among coaches for young (11-17 years of age) Danish female and male handball players during one handball season. Secondary aims are to investigate if the supported implementation is superior to the unsupported implementation in improving behavioural outcomes among the coaches and in reducing the risk for new ankle, knee, and shoulder injuries among young (11-17 years of age) Danish female and male handball players during one handball season. Further, the investigators aim to evaluate how and why adherence and behavioural determinants towards use of the Happy program might improve (or not).

This study will compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction scores of patients seen at virtual phone visits with patients seen at in-person visits for post-operative follow up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months at a sports medicine clinic. This study will determine if there is a difference in PROs and satisfaction scores between these two groups of patients. The investigators hypothesize patients who are seen during a virtual phone visit will report different PRO and patient satisfaction scores compared to patients who are seen during an in-person visit for post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6-months.

Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.

The overall purpose of this study is to quantify the effect and retention of one-week training of falling techniques on landing biomechanics associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading compared to soft-landing techniques in young recreational athletes. The secondary purpose is to assess the safety of the training program. Aim 1: To quantify the effect of one-week training of falling techniques on landing biomechanics during forward, lateral, vertical, and diagonal landings compared to soft-landing techniques. We hypothesize that falling techniques will result in increased knee flexion angles and decreased landing forces, knee abduction and internal rotation angles, and knee moments for all landing directions compared to soft-landing techniques immediately after the training. Aim 2: To assess the retention effects of the falling techniques on landing biomechanics compared to soft landings. We hypothesize that the effects of falling techniques on ACL loading variables will be more highly retained compared to soft-landing techniques two weeks after the training. Aim 3: To identify the safety of the training program. We hypothesize that participants can complete the training without suffering minor, moderate, or major injuries, while occasional minor bruises might be observed.

This study intends to use a prospective study design method to continuously collect immune cell and inflammatory factor data of 5ml peripheral blood and 10ml joint fluid from 200 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in our department from January 2020 to January 2022. The aim is to analyze the impact of changes in inflammatory factors before and after surgery on postoperative recovery.

The purpose of this study is to determine the value of including dynamic vision testing into California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Athletics' established concussion protocol. The study's hypotheses are 1) dynamic vision testing will reveal vision impairments right after a person sustains a concussion, 2) these impairments may still be present upon clearance to return to play.

Ankle sprain in children is a very common pathology. Currently in France, a standard X-ray is done in almost all cases. However, the literature has for several years validated the consideration of the Ottawa ankle rules in children to avoid the realization of these X-rays. Our study is an evaluation of clinical practice. The aim is to assess the impact of the implementation of a new protocol using the Ottawa ankle rules from the age of 5. In particular, radiographic sparing and absence of diagnostic error.

Hamstring muscle injuries are a common pathology in sports mainly present in sprint and acceleration sports, accounting for about 12% of all football injuries. Because of their frequency, risk of reinjury and financial cost, they can be considered as a public health problem. Improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of hamstring muscle injury appears to be a relevant research focus for prevention purposes.
