Comparison Of Graft Failure Rate Between Autografts Placed Via An Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Technique 2015 489 Purpose: To review the literature comparing graft failure rate between patellar and hamstring tendon autografts placed anatomically and to determine if there are differences in return to preinjury activity levels between autografts. Study Design: Sys...
Comparison Of Muscle Activation Levels Between Healthy Individuals And Persons Who Have Undergone Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction During Different Phases Of Weight-Bearing Exercises 2016 504 STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional, controlled laboratory study. BACKGROUND: Quantification of muscular activation during different phases of functional activities is important to understand activation deficits in individuals who have undergone anterior c...
Continuous Passive Motion, Early Weight Bearing, And Active Motion Following Knee Articular Cartilage Repair: Evidence For Clinical Practice 2010 361 Objective: To systematically review the literature regarding postoperative rehabilitation for articular cartilage repair: (1) Does the use of continuous passive motion (CPM) enhance healing, and if so, what parameters should be applied? (2) Can activ...
Decision To Return To Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Part I: A Qualitative Investigation Of Psychosocial Factors 2018 1564 Context: Return-to-sport criteria after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are often based on “satisfactory” functional and patient-reported outcomes. However, an individual's decision to return to sport is likely multifactorial; psychological a...
Decision To Return To Sport Participation After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Part II: Self-Reported And Functional Performance Outcomes 2018 1366 Context: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is the most commonly used method for helping athletes regain function and return to preinjury activity levels after ACL injury. Outcomes after ACLR have suggested that athletes return to...
Feasibility Of Conducting A Web-Based Survey Of Patient-Reported Outcomes And Rehabilitation Progress 2016 1151 Web-based surveys provide an efficient means to track clinical outcomes over time without the use of clinician time for additional paperwork. Our purpose was to determine the feasibility of utilizing web-based surveys to capture rehabilitation compli...
Influence Of Response Shift On Early Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation 2014 1096 Response shift is the phenomenon by which an individual’s standards for evaluation change over time. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients undergoing autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) experience response shift. Forty-eig...
Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Concomitant Tibial Tubercle Transfer: A Systematic Review Of Outcomes And Complications 2016 495 Purpose: To examine the outcomes and complications of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and concomitant tibial tubercle (TT) transfer. Methods: A systematic review of published literature on MPFL reconstruction and TT transfer was ...
Patient-Oriented And Performance-Based Outcomes After Knee Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation: A Timeline For The First Year Of Recovery 2014 1228 Context: It is well established that autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) can require extended recovery postoperatively; however, little information exists to provide clinicians and patients with a timeline for anticipated function during the fi...
Prevalence And Domains Of Disability Within And Outside Appalachian North Carolina: 2013–2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2019 1720 Background: The health and social conditions of the Appalachian region generally are poorer than in the US overall, and this gap is widening, suggesting disability may be higher in Appalachia. Objective: To describe the prevalence of disability overa...
Rates And Determinants Of Return To Play After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction In National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Soccer Athletes 2015 1759 Purpose: To evaluate return to play among collegiate female soccer players, specifically examining the effect of surgical and individual athlete characteristics on the return-to-play rate. Sports medicine and athletic training staff at institutions f...
Response Shift Theory: An Application For Health-Related Quality Of Life In Rehabilitation Research And Practice 2011 387 Evaluating change in patients over time can be challenging to any health care provider. Response shift theory is based on the change typology of alpha, beta, and gamma change and proposes that residual changes in self-response measures occur over tim...
The Role Of Rehabilitation Following Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation: A Retrospective Chart Review 2013 268 Clinical outcomes following autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) are influenced by multiple factors, including patient demographics, lesion characteristics, quality of the surgical repair, and post-operative rehabilitation. However, it is curren...
Serum Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (Scomp) Is Elevated In Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis 2011 351 Objective: To be used in diagnostic studies, it must be demonstrated that biomarkers can differentiate between diseased and non-diseased patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: (1) Is serum cartilage olig...
Structure, Sex, And Strength And Knee And Hip Kinematics During Landing 2011 1108 Researchers have observed that medial knee collapse is a mechanism of knee injury.
