The Effects of Suspension Training on Dynamic, Static Balance, and Stability: An Interventional Study. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 60:47. [PMID: 38256308 PMCID: PMC10818514 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: While suspension training devices are increasingly gaining popularity, there is limited evidence on their effects on balance, and no comprehensive assessment has been conducted. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 9-session suspension training program on dynamic and static balance, stability, and functional performance. Materials and Methods: A total of forty-eight healthy adults, aged between 18 and 30, participated in a 9-session suspension training program. The program included exercises targeting upper and lower body muscles as well as core muscles. Balance was comprehensively assessed using various dynamic balance tests, including the Y Balance Test (YBT) as the primary outcome, single-leg Emery test, and sideways jumping test. Static balance was evaluated through the monopedal and bipedal Romberg tests. Changes from baseline were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results: Thirty-nine participants (mean age: 21.8 years) completed the intervention. The intervention resulted in significant improvements in YBT, jumping sideways, Emery, and 30s-SST scores (p < 0.001). Platform measures indicated enhanced monopedal stability (p < 0.001) but did not show a significant effect on bipedal stability (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Suspension training is a safe and feasible method for improving dynamic balance and functional performance in healthy, untrained young adults. However, it does not appear to significantly impact the ability to maintain a static posture while standing.

Pang JCY, Tsang RSW. Reliability of three-dimensional motion analysis during single-leg side drop landing test after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: An in vivo motion analysis study. Hong Kong Physiother J 2022; 42:65-73.

Abstract
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sport injury and investigation of landing biomechanics is helpful in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Recent study found a lateral single-leg drop landing test resulted in the highest peak knee valgus angle (PKVA), but its reliability on patients who received ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is unknown. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the reliability in both within and between days on the normalized vertical ground reaction force (NVGRF) and kinematics of lower limbs after receiving ACLR. The findings can form the cornerstone for further study related to lateral jumping-and-landing biomechanics in patients with ACLR. Methods: This was a test-retest reliability study. Twelve patients (four females and eight males) who received ACLR with mean age of 29.4 (SD ± 1.66) were recruited. The subjects were instructed to jump laterally from 30 cm height and landed with single-leg for five times. The procedure was conducted on both legs for comparison. The NVGRF and local maxima of the hip, knee and ankle angles during the first 100 ms in all three planes were analyzed. The measurement was conducted by the same assessor to evaluate the within-session reliability, and the whole procedure was repeated one week later for the evaluation of the between-session reliability. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) test was used to assess the within- and between-session reliability by ICC (3, 1) and ICC (3, K) respectively. Results: The within-session reliability of NVGRF [ICC (3, 1)] was 0.899–0.936, and its between-session reliability [ICC (3, K)] was 0.947–0.923. Overall reliability for kinematics within-session [ICC (3, 1)] was 0.948–0.988, and the between-session reliability [ICC (3, K)] was 0.618–0.982, respectively. Good to excellent reliability for the lateral single-leg drop landing test was observed in most of the outcome measures for within- and between-session. The ICC value of NVGRF of ACLR leg was lower than that of the good leg in the within-session which may associate with lower neuromuscular control in ACLR leg than that of the good leg. Conclusion: The results of this study support the use of a lateral single-leg drop landing test to evaluate lower limb biomechanics for ACLR.

The Influence of Different Rope Jumping Methods on Adolescents' Lower Limb Biomechanics during the Ground-Contact Phase. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9050721. [PMID: 35626898 PMCID: PMC9139829 DOI: 10.3390/children9050721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
As a simple and beneficial way of exercise, rope skipping is favored by the majority of teenagers, but incorrect rope skipping may lead to the risk of injury. In this study, 16 male adolescent subjects were tested for bounced jump skipping and alternating jump rope skipping. The kinematic data of the hip, knee, ankle and metatarsophalangeal joint of lower extremities and the kinetics data of lower extremity touching the ground during rope skipping were collected, respectively. Moreover, the electromyography (EMG) data of multiple muscles of the lower extremity were collected by Delsys wireless surface EMG tester. Results revealed that bounced jump (BJ) depicted a significantly smaller vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) than alternate jump (AJ) during the 11−82% of the ground-contact stage (p < 0.001), and the peak ground reaction force and average loading rate were significantly smaller than AJ. From the kinematic perspective, in the sagittal plane, when using BJ, the flexion angle of the hip joint was comparably larger at 12−76% of the ground-contact stage (p < 0.01) and the flexion angle of the knee joint was significantly larger at 13−72% of the ground-contact stage (p < 0.001). When using two rope skipping methods, the minimum dorsal extension angle of the metatarsophalangeal joint was more than 25°, and the maximum was even higher than 50°. In the frontal plane, when using AJ, the valgus angle of the knee joint was significantly larger during the whole ground-contact stage (p < 0.001), and the adduction angle of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) was significantly larger at 0−97% of the ground-contact stage (p = 0.001). EMG data showed that the standardized value of root mean square amplitude of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius lateral head of BJ was significantly higher than AJ. At the same time, that of semitendinosus and iliopsoas muscle was significantly lower. According to the above results, compared with AJ, teenagers receive less GRF and have a better landing buffer strategy to reduce load, and have less risk of injury during BJ. In addition, in BJ rope skipping, the lower limbs are more inclined to the calf muscle group force, while AJ is more inclined to the thigh muscle group force. We also found that in using two ways of rope skipping, the extreme metatarsophalangeal joint back extension angle could be a potential risk of injury for rope skipping.

ASIA-PACIFIC JOURNAL OF SPORT MEDICINE ARTHROSCOPY REHABILITATION AND TECHNOLOGY 2021; 26:8-14. [PMID: 34430216 PMCID: PMC8349769 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmart.2021.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
Background /objectives: For biomechanical studies using jump-landing tasks, many researchers set the criteria for judging success or failure of the trial. Failed trials are usually removed from the analysis. However, the kinetics and kinematics during tasks included in failed trials might be important for understanding the mechanisms and risk factors of non-contact sports injuries. However, few studies have attempted to analyze failed trials. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics associated with ground reaction force (GRF) and two-dimensional frontal body movements during a failed trial of single-leg lateral drop jump-landing. Methods Ten healthy women and 16 healthy men participated in this study. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated using the total number of failed trials and GRF data of successful trials. The association between frontal body movement and kinetics data was identified using correlation analyses. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were performed to compare the GRF data of successful trials and failed trials of the same subject. Additionally, a two-way repeated measure analysis of variance was used to determine significant interactions of each trial and time after initial contact in the frontal body movement. Results A total of 137 trials including successful and failed trials were recorded. There were 59 failed jump trials. There was a significant negative correlation between the number of failed jump trials and the elapsed time from initial contact to peak vertical GRF (peak vGRF time) during successful trials (r = -0.427). The majority of failed trials were judged to be due to rearfoot movement patterns (rearfoot medial slip or rearfoot lateral slip). During rearfoot medial slip, we observed shorter peak vGRF time, larger trunk medial motions, and larger hip adduction movements after landing than that during successful trials. During rearfoot lateral slip, we observed larger trunk lateral motions and hip abduction movements after landing than that during successful trials. Conclusions Athletes who frequently failed during single-leg lateral drop jump-landing had poor skills absorbing jump-landing impact, which is related to various sports injuries. It is possible to identify the risk factors for sports injuries by analyzing failure patterns.

Characteristics of landing impact in athletes who have not returned to sports at the pre-injury competition level after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. ASIA-PACIFIC JOURNAL OF SPORT MEDICINE ARTHROSCOPY REHABILITATION AND TECHNOLOGY 2021; 25:47-52. [PMID: 34141596 PMCID: PMC8187959 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmart.2021.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Background Most patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with the expectation of being able to return to sport (RTS) at the same level of the competition as before the injury. The magnitude and asymmetry of landing impact are important post-ACLR functional variables related to increased ACL strain and poor athletic performance. However, the association between the RTS status and landing impact in post-ACLR patients is unknown. Objective To investigate the association between RTS status and landing impact during single-leg landing in post-ACLR patients. Methods Forty-four patients after primary, unilateral ACLR participated in this study. They had already participated in sports post-ACLR. Questionnaires were used to assess whether the participants achieved the same competitive level of RTS as before the injury. The magnitude and symmetry of the peak vertical ground reaction force (pVGRF) were collected and analysed during single-leg jump landings. Additionally, knee functions (range of motion, laxity, effusion, strength, and single-leg hop distance) were measured. Results A total of 28 (64%) patients reported RTS at their pre-injury competition levels. The no-RTS group had a lower pVGRF magnitude on the operated side than the yes-RTS group (P = .019). The no-RTS group had a higher rate of pVGRF asymmetry (50%) than the yes-RTS group (18%) (P = .040). Logistic regression analysis revealed that pVGRF magnitude and asymmetry were significantly associated with the RTS status. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for knee function revealed that the pVGRF magnitude was significantly associated with the RTS status. Conclusion In patients who are unable to RTS at their pre-injury competition level after ACLR, the pVGRF is lower and more likely to be asymmetrical than in those able to RTS at their pre-injury competition level.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the impact of the foot contact position and
cutting angle on the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury during cutting.
[Participants and Methods] Seven healthy males performed cuttings under four tasks by
changing the foot contact position and cutting angle. A three-dimensional motion analysis
system and force plates were used for taking measurements. The peak vertical ground
reaction force and loading rate were calculated. The pelvic, hip, and knee joint angles
were measured at the peak vertical ground reaction force. [Results] The loading rate was
significantly higher in the lateral foot contact than in the anterior foot contact when
the cutting angle was large. The knee flexion angle at the peak vertical ground reaction
force was significantly smaller in the lateral foot contact than in the anterior foot
contact when the cutting angle was large, similar to the pelvic forward inclination angle,
regardless of the foot contact position. [Conclusion] As the cutting angle increased, the
knee flexion and pelvic forward inclination angles decreased, resulting in an increase in
the loading rate during cutting with the lateral foot contact. Therefore, an increase in
the cutting angle can increase the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Single-Leg Landings Following a Volleyball Spike May Increase the Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury More Than Landing on Both-Legs. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Volleyball players often land on a single leg following a spike shot due to a shift in the center of gravity and loss of balance. Landing on a single leg following a spike may increase the probability of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the kinematics and kinetics differences during the landing phase of volleyball players using a single leg (SL) and double-leg landing (DL) following a spike shot. The data for vertical ground reaction forces (VGRF) and sagittal plane were collected. SPM analysis revealed that SL depicted a smaller knee flexion angle (about 13.8°) and hip flexion angle (about 10.8°) during the whole landing phase, a greater knee and hip power during the 16.83–20.45% (p = 0.006) and 13.01–16.26% (p = 0.008) landing phase, a greater ankle plantarflexion angle and moment during the 0–41.07% (p < 0.001) and 2.76–79.45% (p < 0.001) landing phase, a greater VGRF during the 5.87–8.25% (p = 0.029), 19.75–24.14% (p = 0.003) landing phase when compared to DL. Most of these differences fall within the time range of ACL injury (30–50 milliseconds after landing). To reduce non-contact ACL injuries, a landing strategy of consciously increasing the hip and knee flexion, and plantarflexion of the ankle should be considered by volleyball players.

Abstract
Although predicted hip joint center (HJC) locations are known to vary widely between functional methods, no previous investigation has detailed functional method-dependent hip and knee biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to define a normative database of hip joint biomechanics during dynamic movements based upon functional HJC methods and calibration tasks. Thirty healthy young adults performed arc, star arc, and two-sided calibration tasks. Motion capture and ground reaction forces were collected during walking, running, and single-leg landings (SLLs). Two sphere-fit (geometric and algebraic) and two coordinate transformation techniques were implemented using each calibration (12 total method-calibration combinations). Surprisingly, the geometric fit-two-sided model placed the HJC at the midline of the pelvis and above the iliac spines, and thus was removed from analyses. A database of triplanar hip and knee kinematics and hip moments and powers was constructed using the mean of all subjects for the eleven method-calibration combinations. A nested analysis of variance approach compared calibration [method] peak hip kinematics and kinetics. Most method differences existed between geometric fit and coordinate transformations (58 of 84 total). No arc-star arc differences were found. Thirty-two differences were found between the two-sided and arc/star arc calibrations. This database of functional method based hip and knee biomechanics serves as an important reference point for interstudy comparisons. Overall, this study illustrates that functional HJC method can dramatically impact hip biomechanics and should be explicitly detailed in future work.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine changes in the kinematic and kinetic parameters of female athletes performing a forward drop jump to a vertical jump under muscle fatigue condition. Twelve female college athletes performed a forward drop jump to a vertical jump with and without muscle fatigue conditions. A motion capture system and two AMTI force plates were used to synchronously collect kinematic and kinetic data. Inverse dynamics were implemented to calculate the participant’s joint loading, joint moment, and energy absorption. A paired sample t-test was used to compare statistical differences between pre-fatigue and post-fatigue conditions (α = .05). The forward trunk lean angle at initial foot contact, as well as the knee range of motion, total negative work and energy absorption contribution of the knee joint during the landing phase were significantly decreased under post-fatigue condition. The increased peak vertical ground reaction force and peak tibial anterior shear forces were also found under post-fatigue condition. These results indicated that muscle fatigue caused participants to change their original landing posture into stiff landing posture and decrease the energy absorption ability, which increased the tibial anterior shear forces. Therefore, female athletes should appropriately increase the knee flexion angle under muscle fatigue condition to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the reliability and validity of the impact force and knee joint sway measurement during single-leg drop landing by using a motion sensor with two built-in accelerometers. [Participants and Methods] Ten healthy college students (4 males and 6 females) who joined a basketball club participated in this study. Peak vertical acceleration, time between initial contact and peak vertical acceleration, and knee joint mediolateral sway were measured using the accelerometer during the landing motion. Reliability of the measurement with the accelerometer and the criterion-related validity between the accelerometer and force plate data were examined. [Results] The intraclass correlation coefficients indicated a peak vertical acceleration of 0.88, time between initial contact and peak vertical acceleration of 0.96, and knee joint mediolateral sway of 0.62. The magnitude and timing of the peak values between both measurement instruments showed high validity. [Conclusion] The measurement method using a motion sensor for the evaluation of the impact force and knee joint sway during landing has a moderate to high reliability and criterion-related validity. A motion sensor measurement might be a useful and easy method for evaluating landing impact force and knee joint stability.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in badminton commonly occur during single-leg landing after an overhead stroke in the backhand-side court. This study compared differences in trunk acceleration and kinematic variables during single-leg landing in the forehand- and backhand-side courts after an overhead stroke. Eighteen female junior badminton players performed two singles games while wearing a tri-axial accelerometer. The moment that over 4g of resultant acceleration was generated was determined using synchronised video cameras. Trunk lateral inclination and hip abduction angles at the point of landing with over 4g of resultant acceleration were analysed. Mediolateral acceleration in the backhand-side court was greater than that in the opposite-side court (p < 0.001, ES = 0.840). Both trunk lateral angles were larger than those previously reported in injured participants and the hip abduction angle in the backhand-side court was larger than that in the forehand-side court (p < 0.001, ES = 2.357). The lateral and vertical acceleration in the backhand-side court showed moderate-to-strong correlations with the trunk and hip angles. The mediolateral physical demand and high-risk posture in the backhand-side court may be associated with a higher incidence of knee injuries during badminton games.

Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine limb-dominance and gender differences
in the magnitude of the ground reaction force during single-leg lateral jump-landings. We
hypothesized that the peak ground reaction force would be larger in the non-dominant leg
compared to that in the dominant leg and would be larger in females compared to that in
men. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen females and 15 males performed jump-landings sideways
from a height of 20 cm, with a lateral distance of 60 cm. Vertical and medial ground
reaction forces were measured, and the elapsed time from the initial contact to the peak
ground reaction force was determined. The loading rate was calculated as the peak ground
reaction force divided by the elapsed time from the initial contact to the peak ground
reaction force. [Results] The vertical and medial peak ground reaction forces during
single-leg lateral jump-landings were larger in females compared to that in males. In
addition, the medial peak ground reaction force was larger for the non-dominant leg
compared to that for the dominant leg. [Conclusion] The results suggest that in
rehabilitation and conditioning settings, evaluations and instructions regarding
attenuation are especially important for females and the non-dominant leg.

Effect of Whole-Body Vibration on Sagittal Plane Running Mechanics in Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Crossover Trial. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2018; 99:973-980. [PMID: 29407520 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2017.11.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2017] [Revised: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 11/26/2017] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of whole-body vibration (WBV) on running biomechanics in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). DESIGN Single-blind randomized crossover trial. SETTING Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Individuals (N=20) with unilateral ACLR (age [± SD]=22.3 [±3.3] years; mass=71.8 [±15.3] kg; time since ACLR=44.9 [±22.8] months; 15 females, 10 patellar tendon autograft, 7 hamstrings autograft, 3 allograft; International Knee Documentation Committee Score=83.5 [±9.3]). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Participants performed isometric squats while being exposed to WBV or no vibration (control). WBV and control conditions were delivered in a randomized order during separate visits separated by 1-week washout periods. Running biomechanics of the injured and uninjured limbs were evaluated before and immediately after each intervention. Dependent variables included peak vertical ground reaction force (GRF) and loading rate (LR), peak knee flexion angle and external moment, and knee flexion excursion during the stance phase of running. RESULTS There was an increase in knee flexion excursion (+4.1°, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65, 7.5°) and a trend toward a reduction in instantaneous LR after WBV in the injured limb (-4.03 BW/sec-1, 95% CI -0.38, -7.69). No effect was observed on peak GRF, peak knee flexion angle, or peak external knee flexion moment, and no effect was observed in the uninjured limb. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that a single session of WBV acutely increases knee flexion excursion. WBV could be useful to improve running characteristics in individuals with knee pathology.
