Journal ArticleDOI
Hip muscle imbalance and low back pain in athletes: influence of core strengthening.
Scott F. Nadler,Gerard A. Malanga,Lisa A. Bartoli,Joseph H. Feinberg,Michael Prybicien,Melissa Deprince +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicated no significant advantage of core strengthening in reducing LBP occurrence, though this may be more a reflection of the small numbers of subjects who actually required treatment, than the need for a larger scale study.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between lower extremity injury, low back pain, and hip muscle strength in male and female collegiate athletes.
TL;DR: Female athletes appear to have a differing response of the proximal hip musculature to LE injury or LBP, as compared with their male counterparts, as it may be important in the prevention of LE injury and LBP in collegiate athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Hip Muscle Imbalance and Occurrence of Low Back Pain in Collegiate Athletes: A Prospective Study
Scott F. Nadler,Gerard A. Malanga,Joseph H. Feinberg,Michael Prybicien,Todd P. Stitik,Melissa Deprince +5 more
TL;DR: Logistic regression analysis indicated that for female athletes, the percentage difference between the right and left hip extensors was predictive of whether treatment for LBP was required over the ensuing year, adding validity to the concept of hip muscle imbalance being associated with LBP occurrence in female athletes.
Physical examination of the knee: A review of the original test description and scientific validity of common orthopedic tests (Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2003;84:592-603):Vertaling: L. Eenkhoorn
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the original descriptions of common orthopedic physical examination maneuvers of the knee and then to review the literature to support the scientific validity of these tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical examination of the knee: A review of the original test description and scientific validity of common orthopedic tests
TL;DR: The original descriptions of common orthopedic physical examination maneuvers of the knee are presented and a lack of well-designed studies that scientifically validate the sensitivity and specificity of these tests is reviewed.
