1. 1. A systematic review of biomechanical factors in runners before, during and after Iliotibial Band Syndrome

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

   Author : Hanna Rautiainen; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to define functional tests, and to describe kinematic and kinetic factors as well as muscular function, and to study any differences in these parameters, found in the literature, between runners before developing, during and after recovering from ITBS compared to healthy controls. Method A systematic literature review was performed in Cinahl, EMBASE, PEDro, PubMed and Swemed + with the search terms: "Iliotibial band syndrome", "Iliotibial band friction syndrome" and "Iliotibial tract syndrome".

3. 2. The effects on knee angular velocity after a 6-weeks training period with the new training device ProPrioPlate- a pilot study

   University essay from Biomekanik och biomedicin

   Author : Johan Herö; [2014]
   Keywords : angular velocity; knee stability; knee abduction;

   Abstract : AbstractBackground: ACL injuries is common and can result in long term disability or even have a career ending outcome for the athlete. Women are more exposed to ACL injuries than men are and several factors increase the risk of ACL injuries for women where one is the knee angle velocity. READ MORE

4. 3. Whole-body kinematics during paddling on kayak ergometer in elite able-bodied athletes : a first step to develop a classification for para-kayak athletes

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

   Author : Pascal Zakaria; [2014]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aim The purpose of the study was to define three dimensional range of motion for all major joints (wrist, elbow, shoulder, trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, and ankle) in a group of able-bodied elite canoeists during paddling on a kayak ergometer. An additional purpose was to analyze if the range of motion changed with increased intensity and if there were any differences between body sides during paddling on the ergometer. READ MORE

5. 4. Hip Strength in Males with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Pilot Study

   University essay from Institutionen för idrottsvetenskap (ID)

   Author : Deborah Strand; [2013]
   Keywords : anterior knee pain; hip abduction; hip lateral rotation; patella; pfps; främre knäsmärta; höftabduktion; höftutåtrotation; patella; pfss;

   Abstract : Study Design: Cross-sectional. Background: Although decreased hip abduction and lateral rotation strength has been found in females with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), few studies have included males. Aim: To determine if hip abduction and lateral rotation strength is decreased in males with PFPS. Methods: Eight males participated. READ MORE

6. 5. The Effects of a New ACL-Injury Prevention Device on Knee Kinematics and Hamstring and Quadriceps Co-Contraction : A Pilot Study

   University essay from Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik (SET)

   Author : Niklas Andersson; [2013]
   Keywords : Hamstring-quadriceps co-contraction; dynamic valgus; knee abduction; anterior cruciate ligament ACL injury; injury prevention; gender differences;

   Abstract : Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) –injury is 3-5 times greater in female athletes compared to male athletes. This may be partially attributed to lower levels of hamstring-quadriceps co-contraction in females with subsequent knee kinematics that increases risk of ACL-injury. READ MORE
