- The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of injury and the extent of preventive actions in elite Swedish volleyball players. Injuries to players in the elite male and female Swedish division, during the 2002-2003 season, were registered by using a questionnaire. Of the 158 volleyball players (70% response rate), a total of 82 players (52%) reported 121 injuries, during a total exposure time of 24 632 h, representing an overall incidence of 0.77 injuries per player. The majority of the injuries were located in the ankle (23%), followed by the knee (18%) and the back (15%). Most injuries (62%) were classified as being of minor severity. Most injuries occurred during training (47%), and 41% of the injuries had a gradual onset. Fifty-four percent of the injuries that could be related to a specific court situation occurred during blocking, and 30% during spiking. Most players (96%) participated in injury prevention training of some kind, generally performed without supervision (58%). Although most players took part in some kind of preventive action, one out of two players incurred an injury during the season, which indicates that the risk of suffering an injury in elite volleyball is relatively high.

Physical performance, injuries and osteoarthrosis in female soccer

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall purpose was to investigate female soccer regarding injuries, risk factors, posttraumatic OA and non-traumatic OA. A prospective study of injuries in eight female soccer teams, from the six available levels, was performed during one season. The total injury rate was 14.3 and 3.7/1000 game and practice hours, respectively. The knee (26%) was the most common place for injury, followed by the foot (12%). An increased general joint laxity was found to be a significant risk factor for general injury and knee injury. In an attempt to find easy functional tests that do not require advanced equipment and that could be used instead of more advanced isokinetic tests, only low correlations between isokinetic strength measurements and functional tests, such as one-leg hop, triple jump, vertical jump, one-leg rising or square hop, were found. There were no differences in any of the tests found between players under /over the age of 20, except for knee flexor muscle strength, where a small but significant difference was seen. Female soccer players with ACL injury showed radiographic changes in the in 69%, and verified knee OA in 34% at the age of 31, 12 years after injury. A majority of the players suffered from symptoms affecting their sport and recreational activities and knee-related quality of life. However, the symptoms were not related to the presence of OA or having undergone surgery to the affected knee or not. Somewhat older female ex-soccer players (mean age 42 years) showed a prevalence of 3% and 17% of radiographic hip and knee OA, and had, with and without knee injuries, a 5-fold increased rate of knee osteoarthrosis compared to non-sporting females age 46, when age and BMI were adjusted for. No difference was seen between the female players and the non-sporting controls regarding hip OA. Increased general joint laxity was found to be a risk factor for injury. Female soccer players with an ACL injury had verified knee OA in 34% at the age of 31, 12 years after injury. Also, somewhat older female players after their career showed a high prevalence of radiographic knee OA and a 5-fold risk of developing knee OA compared to controls. Female soccer by itself and in combination with the high risk of knee injuries has an increased risk of OA. However, the positive effects of exercise, physical and mental, when playing soccer should not be ignored.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Annually, throughout the world, more than 800,000 primary total hip replacement surgery procedures are performed on patients suffering from hip joint arthrosis. Since 1991, approximately 11,000 of these procedures are performed annually in Sweden. This study aimed to investigate any changes in the patients' life quality 6 weeks and 6 months after their total hip replacement surgery had been performed, compared to that immediately prior to the operation. It also aimed to examine the reason for surgery, the types of prostheses used, postoperative pain, complications and the actual usage of ambulation support. The Sickness Impact Profile self-appraisal instrument, together with personal patient interviews have been used as the basis of the research. A total of 51 patients responded to the quality of life instrument prior to their operation, 47 of these participated 6 weeks after the operation, and 40 patients 6 months after the operation. Significant differences in patients' total, physical and psychosocial quality of life 6 months postoperatively compared to the situation prior to the operation were found, but not between the situation before and 6 weeks after the total hip replacement surgery. The majority of patients were of the opinion that it was more important that the pain had disappeared or decreased, than any overall increase in the quality of life. Postoperative complications occurred within 6 weeks, and even after 6 months some patients still suffered from these.
