Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsic foot muscles have the capacity to control deformation of the longitudinal arch

TL;DR: Electrical stimulation of the plantar intrinsic muscles countered the deformation that occurred owing to the application of external load by reducing the length and increasing the height of the LA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hamstring and Quadriceps Isokinetic Strength Deficits Are Weak Risk Factors for Hamstring Strain Injuries A 4-Year Cohort Study

TL;DR: This study identified small absolute strength differences and a wide overlap of the absolute strength measurements at the group level and identified small associations between lower hamstring eccentric strength and lower quadriceps concentric strength with HSIs, which can only be considered as weak risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet-rich plasma does not enhance return to play in hamstring injuries: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: It is indicated that there is no benefit of a single PRP injection over intensive rehabilitation in athletes who have sustained acute, MRI positive hamstring injuries, and intensive physiotherapy led rehabilitation remains the primary means of ensuring an optimal return to sport following muscle injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in common lower limb conditions: a systematic review including quantification of patient-rated pain reduction

TL;DR: Low level of evidence suggests that ESWT may be effective for some lower limb conditions in all phases of the rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of Acute Groin Injuries A Prospective Study of 110 Athletes

TL;DR: Clinically diagnosed adductor injuries were often confirmed on imaging, whereas iliopsoas and rectus femoris injuries showed a different radiological injury location in more than one-third of the cases.
