- Deciding when to return to sport after injury is complex and multifactorial-an exercise in risk management. Return to sport decisions are made every day by clinicians, athletes and coaches, ideally in a collaborative way. The purpose of this consensus statement was to present and synthesise current evidence to make recommendations for return to sport decision-making, clinical practice and future research directions related to returning athletes to sport. A half day meeting was held in Bern, Switzerland, after the First World Congress in Sports Physical Therapy. 17 expert clinicians participated. 4 main sections were initially agreed upon, then participants elected to join 1 of the 4 groups-each group focused on 1 section of the consensus statement. Participants in each group discussed and summarised the key issues for their section before the 17-member group met again for discussion to reach consensus on the content of the 4 sections. Return to sport is not a decision taken in isolation at the end of the recovery and rehabilitation process. Instead, return to sport should be viewed as a continuum, paralleled with recovery and rehabilitation. Biopsychosocial models may help the clinician make sense of individual factors that may influence the athletes return to sport, and the Strategic Assessment of Risk and Risk Tolerance framework may help decision-makers synthesise information to make an optimal return to sport decision. Research evidence to support return to sport decisions in clinical practice is scarce. Future research should focus on a standardised approach to defining, measuring and reporting return to sport outcomes, and identifying valuable prognostic factors for returning to sport.

- We investigated the potential prognostic factors for clinically relevant improvements in pain intensity and pain-related disability after myofeedback-based teletreatment. Sixty-five female computer users, 56 female patients with whiplash-associated disorders and 18 female patients with non-specific neck and shoulder pain participated in the study. They received myofeedback-based teletreatment or usual treatment. Questionnaires concerning prognostic factors, pain and disability were completed before the start of the intervention (baseline) and at follow-ups at the end of the intervention, and after 3 and 6 months. Logistic regression analyses were performed in order to investigate prognostic factors for clinically relevant improvement. In the intervention group, improvement in pain intensity was predicted by baseline pain intensity. Baseline pain intensity and disability, and fear-avoidance and endurance related pain coping responses were prognostic factors for outcome in pain-related disability in this group. Therewere few differences between the intervention groups; fear avoidance coping responses influenced the outcome after teletreatment only.Myofeedback-based teletreatment appears to be an useful telemedicine intervention, especially for participants with moderate to high levels of pain and disability, high perceived help/ hopelessness, and those who tend to deal with their pain by avoiding social and physical activities.

- Objective: To provide consensus on how to plan, organize and implement exercise-based injury prevention program (IPP) in sports.Design: Delphi.Setting: LimeSurvey platform.Participants: Experienced sports physical therapists from the International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy member countries.Main outcome measures: Factors related to sports IPP planning, organization and implementation.Results: We included 305 participants from 32 countries. IPP planning should be based on an athletes injury history, on pre-season screening results, and on injury rates (respectively, 98%, 92%, 89% agreement). In total 97% participants agreed that IPP organization should depend on the athletes age, 93% on the competition level, and 93% on the availability of low-cost materials. It was agreed that IPP should mainly be implemented in warm-up sessions delivered by the head or strength/conditioning coach, with physical training sessions and individual physical therapy sessions (respectively, 94%, 92%, 90% agreement).Conclusion: Strong consensus was reached on (1) IPP based on the athletes injury history, pre-season screening and evidence-based sports-specific injury rates; (2) IPP organization based on the athletes age, competition level, and the availability of low-cost materials and (3) IPP implementation focussing on warm-up sessions implemented by the strength/conditioning coach, and/or individual prevention sessions by the physical therapist.

- Background: Differences in knee joint stabilization between children and adults and between the sexes are not fully understood. Purpose: To compare the knee laxity and the dynamic tibial translation between (1) children and adults, (2) girls and boys, and (3) women and men. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.Methods: Sixty-seven children (aged 8-13 years) and 63 adults (aged 18-30 years) without previous knee injuries participated. Sagittal tibial translation was measured during the instrumented Lachman test at 90 N and 134 N (knee laxity) and during gait (dynamic translation). Tibial translation was recorded with an electrogoniometer.Results: Knee laxity was greater in children than in adults (Lachman test at 90 N: 9.1 +/- 2.9 vs 7.3 +/- 2.7, respectively; P less than .001). In contrast, dynamic tibial translation during gait did not differ between children and adults. Girls and boys did not differ in knee laxity or maximum anterior tibial translation during gait, and men and women did not differ in knee laxity. Women had greater dynamic tibial translation during gait than men (7.8 +/- 2.7 vs 5.7 +/- 3.0, respectively; P = .004).Conclusion: Children had greater knee laxity than adults, whereas the dynamic tibial translation did not differ. In adults, knee laxity did not differ between the sexes, but dynamic tibial translation was greater in women. Clinical Relevance: Children and men had less dynamic tibial translation during gait in proportion to their maximum knee laxity. The observed less dynamic tibial translation in children and adult men might be related to their reduced risk of sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

- Purpose The purpose of this article is to present recommendations for new muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to a return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanMethods A search was made of relevant literature relating to muscle function, self-reported questionnaires on symptoms, function and knee-related quality of life, as well as the rate of re-injury, the rate of return to sports and the development of osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction. The literature was reviewed and discussed by the European Board of Sports Rehabilitation in order to reach consensus on criteria for muscle strength and hop performance prior to a return to sports. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanResults The majority of athletes that sustain an (ACL) injury do not successfully return to their pre-injury sport, even though most athletes achieve what is considered to be acceptable muscle function. On self-reported questionnaires, the athletes report high ratings for fear of re-injury, low ratings for their knee function during sports and low ratings for their knee-related quality of life. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanConclusion The conclusion is that the muscle function tests that are commonly used are not demanding enough or not sensitive enough to identify differences between injured and non-injured sides. Recommendations for new criteria are given for the sports medicine community to consider, before allowing an athlete to return to sports after an ACL reconstruction. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanLevel of evidence IV.

- 2017

Ingår i: Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.). - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1179-2035 .- 0112-1642. ; 47:7, s. 1241-1253

- Muscle injuries are among the most common injuries in sport and continue to be a major concern because of training and competition time loss, challenging decision making regarding treatment and return to sport, and a relatively high recurrence rate. An adequate classification of muscle injury is essential for a full understanding of the injury and to optimize its management and return-to-play process. The ongoing failure to establish a classification system with broad acceptance has resulted from factors such as limited clinical applicability, and the inclusion of subjective findings and ambiguous terminology. The purpose of this article was to describe a classification system for muscle injuries with easy clinical application, adequate grouping of injuries with similar functional impairment, and potential prognostic value. This evidence-informed and expert consensus-based classification system for muscle injuries is based on a four-letter initialism system: MLG-R, respectively referring to the mechanism of injury (M), location of injury (L), grading of severity (G), and number of muscle re-injuries (R). The goal of the classification is to enhance communication between healthcare and sports-related professionals and facilitate rehabilitation and return-to-play decision making.
