“…Ha et al utilized isokinetic muscle strength, among other parameters, to assess patient satisfaction post-MAT, finding a significant association between an isokinetic 60°/s extension deficit and patient satisfaction [ 18 ]. Additionally, Darbandi et al demonstrated the utility of isokinetic dynamic tests in predicting lower limb injuries in elite judo athletes [ 19 ]. Although post-MAT isokinetic dynamic tests have been used to assess patient satisfaction, their prognostic value in terms of graft survival has not yet been explored.…”

Meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) is a surgical procedure reserved for (relatively) younger individuals who remain symptomatic after the resection of a voluminous part of the meniscus. Return to sports and certainly the level of sport post-MAT are highly variable. We present a unique case of a national judo champion who was able to compete at the highest level following MAT. Considerations regarding the rehabilitation and follow-up of this patient are provided, and the risk of rerupture is discussed. Although returning to high-level contact sports post-MAT is possible, the risk of rerupture should be considered.

“…The injury data collection of judokas during the 10 months of research were followed and recorded. The whole procedures have already been explained elsewhere 27 . The definition of various types of injury and the procedure for the injury data collection was explained to all of the team medical staff and coach representatives.…”

“…Developing injury prevention programs in athletics activity is very important in order to reduce injuries 26 . The use of appropriate pre-sessional screening tools to identify injury-prone athletes is also very important in developing injury prevention programs 20 , 27 , 28 . Screening for the balance and proprioceptive ability of those athletes who participate in long-term training in the same sport is highlighted in previous studies specifically in order to acquire practical injury prevention strategies 11 , 20 .…”

We investigated the ability of balance and proprioception screening tests to predict lower limb injuries in professional male judokas. Fifty-three male judokas of the national teams (Mean ± SD, age 18.68 ± 3.08 years, weight 75.34 ± 11.62 kg, height 175.28 ± 7.24 cm) participated in this study. Limits of stability (LOS), single leg stability (SLS), and knee joint position sense (JPS) was recorded as the screening tests before starting the 10 month follow up. Lower limb injury was recorded all through the follow up. Fifteen lower limb sport injuries were recorded for 53 judokas during the follow-up recordings. Significant accuracy of SLS, overall bilateral ratio (AUC 0.646, 95% CI 0.452–0.839, p = 0.046), as well as JPS 60° bilateral ratio (AUC 0.657, 95% CI 0.480–0.834, p = 0.044), and LOS overall (AUC 0.696, 95% CI 0.551–0.840, p = 0.031) were revealed discriminating between injured and uninjured judokas. The optimum cut-off of SLS, overall bilateral ratio, JPS 60° bilateral ratio, and LOS overall associated with belonging to uninjured judokas group was ≤ 1.15%, ≤ 1.09%, and ≤ 1.09 respectively (sensitivity, 0.763, 0.711, 0.789 respectively; specificity, 0.600). Although the absolute unilateral balance and proprioception scores were almost the same between injured and non-injured judokas, the bilateral ratio of both these indices were different between the two groups. Lower limbs bilateral balance and proprioception asymmetries is a more important risk factor than the absolute unilateral balance and proprioception scores for sustaining lower limb injuries in professional male judokas. Medical professionals and coaches are suggested to use these findings as pre-participation screening tools identify injury-prone athletes.

“…As this test is a quick test to administer, requiring minimal personnel, and no need for special equipment, the researchers demonstrated that it warrants further consideration as pre-participatory screening examination tool for sport injury in more specific athlete populations (i.e., a more homogenous athletic population rather than heterogeneous populations like division III athletes). Considering the contradictory results obtained from previous literature and the lack of focus of previous research on football (soccer) players, and the importance of developing the screening tests in pre-seasonal athletic activity 15 , 16 and physical therapy 22 , the present study aimed to investigate the probability of LEFT as a screening test to predict lower limb injuries in professional male footballers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the screening value of the LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries in professional male footballers.…”

“…Prediction and reduction of sports injuries are important for researchers and physicians. This prediction can be applied by either laboratory (e.g., isokinetic strength dynamometry) 15 or functional movement screening tests (e.g. FMS™ test) 16 that do not involve costly laboratory equipment.…”

The Lower Extremity Functional Test (LEFT) is a reliable and valid test for the measurement of athletic fitness, fatigue resistance, and speed performance. Contradictory results exist regarding the screening value of the LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the screening value of the LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries in professional male footballers. One hundred and twenty-one professional male football players participated in the study. LEFT was recorded pre-season and the lower-limb injuries were recorded during a 9-month season. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the accuracy of the prognosis of LEFT. A total of twenty-five lower limb injuries were recorded. The model explained 53% of the variance in lower limb injury, showing that predictions by LEFT score is reliable, and correctly predicted 89.3% of cases, which is a large improvement. ROC analysis showed significant accuracy of the LEFT score (AUC 0.908, 95% CI 1.126–1.336, p = 0.001, OR = 1.227) in discriminating between injured and uninjured players. The optimum cut-off level of the LEFT score was 90.21 s; Our findings showed that the LEFT score was able to predict lower limb injuries in professional male footballers. The slower an athlete’s LEFT scores, the more susceptible they are to future injury risk. Sports medicine specialists, football coaches and managers are suggested to use LEFT as a pre-season screening test to identify and prevent the weakness and functional imbalance of the athletes before the injury occurs by conducting this test.
