Biomechanical Symmetry during Drop Jump Landing and Takeoff in Adolescent Athletes Following Recent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Open
This study investigated asymmetry between lower extremities during the landing and takeoff phases of a vertical drop jump (VDJ) in adolescent athletes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and examined if performance w…

Quantitative Computed Tomography Assessment of Bone Deficits in Ambulatory Children and Adolescents with Spina Bifida: Importance of Puberty Open
Pathologic fractures of the femur and tibia are common in youth with spina bifida (SB). These fractures may be associated with deficient bone accrual due to decreased ambulation and skeletal loading. This prospective cohort study used quan…

Statement of Removal Open
The Dias FCM is comprehensive, including elements of neurosegmental level and function, and correlates well with walking activity. We recommend its use for classifying function in patients with Spina Bifida.Implications for rehabilitationF…

OCULOMOTOR FUNCTION IN ADOLESCENT ATHLETES FOLLOWING CONCUSSION Open
Background: Visual impairments affect up to 90% of patients post-concussion. These impairments may include deficits in fixation accuracy, smooth pursuit, saccadic latencies, vergence, accommodation, and vestibule-ocular reflexes. Quantitat…

MOVEMENT VARIABILITY IN PRE-TEEN AND TEENAGE ATHLETES DURING SPORTS RELATED TASKS Open
Background: Movement variability may affect injury assessment and may change as athletes mature. Hypothesis/Purpose: We hypothesized that pre-teen athletes would exhibit greater variability than teenage athletes when performing drop jump, …

DUAL-TASK BALANCE CONTROL IN ADOLESCENT ATHLETES FOLLOWING CONCUSSION Open
Background: Previous research has identified deficient dual-task balance control at the time of return to play (RTP) and possible worsening after RTP in older adolescents/young adults with concussion. These findings have not been investiga…

INFLUENCE OF LOWER EXTREMITY STATIC ALIGNMENT ON DYNAMIC KNEE VALGUS IN ADOLESCENTS FOLLOWING ACL RECONSTRUCTION Open
Background: Dynamic limb valgus, particularly high knee abduction moments, are a known risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. High knee abduction moments may result from poor static anatomic limb alignment, faulty biomech…

Myosteatosis in adolescents and young adults treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia Open
Myosteatosis refers to fat deposition within muscle and is linked to risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Though these comorbidities are common during and after therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), little is k…

EFFECT OF STATIC ANATOMIC ALIGNMENT ON DYNAMIC LIMB VALGUS DURING SIDE-STEP CUTTING IN UNINJURED ADOLESCENT ATHLETES Open
BACKGROUND Dynamic limb valgus, combining hip adduction and internal rotation with knee abduction posture and moments, has been implicated in ACL injury. However, the contribution of static lower extremity alignment to dynamic limb valgus …

BIOMECHANICAL SYMMETRY DURING DROP JUMP AND SINGLE-LEG HOP LANDING IN UNINJURED ADOLESCENT ATHLETES Open
BACKGROUND Symmetry of strength, thigh girth and hop distance is often used as a benchmark in return to sport testing. Using symmetry as a gold standard has been translated into biomechanical testing; however, kinematic and kinetic symmetr…

AGE, BODY MASS INDEX AND SEX RELATED TO DYNAMIC KNEE VALGUS AND SHOCK ABSORPTION DURING SINGLE LEG LANDING IN UNINJURED ADOLESCENT ATHLETES Open
BACKGROUND Dynamic limb valgus and poor shock absorption strategies have been implicated in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Additionally, biomechanics during over ground and double leg landing tasks have been shown to differ dep…

Effect of Tibia Marker Placement on Kinematics in Pathological Gait Open
This study aimed to determine the effect of tibia marker placement on walking kinematics in children with pathological gait. Three-dimensional lower extremity gait data were collected using both a traditional tibia wand (protruding lateral…
View article: Effect of ACL Graft Type on Side-Step Cutting in Young Athletes
Effect of ACL Graft Type on Side-Step Cutting in Young Athletes Open
Objectives: Due to the slightly higher re-tear rate for ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with hamstring (HT) versus patellar tendon (PT), differences in movement strategies were assessed during side-step cutting in young athletes with recent ACLR…
View article: Deficits in Sagittal and Frontal Plane Mechanics during Drop Jump in Young Athletes with Recent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Deficits in Sagittal and Frontal Plane Mechanics during Drop Jump in Young Athletes with Recent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Open
Objectives: While the vertical drop jump (VDJ) is an established predictor of ACL injury risk, most studies have focused on frontal and transverse plane assessment in young adult athletes. This study assessed sagittal as well as frontal pl…

Quantitative Analysis of Lower Leg Adipose Tissue Distribution in Youth with Myelomeningocele Open
Children with myelomeningocele have a high prevalence of obesity and excess fat accumulation in their lower extremities. However, it is not known if this is subcutaneous or intramuscular fat, the latter of which has been associated with in…

Limitations of body mass index to assess body composition due to sarcopenic obesity during leukemia therapy Open
Obesity as defined by body mass index percentile (BMI%) is strongly associated with relapse and poorer survival in childhood ALL. Whether BMI% accurately reflects body fat percentage (BF%) in this population is unknown. We conducted a pros…
