“…Although there is some evidence from cadaver studies that knee bracing does offer protection to knee ligaments under external load,31 32 this effect may not carry over to the high-velocity, multidirectional forces encountered during sporting activity. Others have found that bracing can lead to increased muscle fatigue,33 and it has also been linked to decreased athletic performance,33 factors that may cumulate to increase the injury risk.…”

Strategies to prevent injury in adolescent sport: a systematic review

This systematic review set out to identify randomised controlled trials and controlled intervention studies that evaluated the effectiveness of preventive strategies in adolescent sport and to draw conclusions on the strength of the evidence. A literature search in seven databases (Medline, SportDiscus, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro, Cochrane Review and DARE) was carried out using four keywords: adolescent, sport, injury and prevention (expanded to capture any relevant literature). Assessment of 154 papers found 12 studies eligible for inclusion. It can be concluded that injury prevention strategies that focus on preseason conditioning, functional training, education, balance and sport-specific skills, which should be continued throughout the sporting season, are effective. The evidence for the effectiveness of protective equipment in injury prevention is inconclusive and requires further assessment.

“…A regular point of discussion in these follow‐up studies is the time period of brace wearing and patient's compliance in the post‐operative treatment [8, 11, 24, 26, 30]. Many patients state that the main function of the brace is to remind them not to overstress their knee joint [14]. Risberg et al [30] recommended wearing a brace for 3 months, while McDevitt et al [24] asked their patients to wear a brace for a total of 12 months.…”

Alterations of joint biomechanics are known to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Open MRI now allows one to assess important biomechanical parameters of diarthrodial joints in vivo during the entire range of joint motion, encompassing all clinically relevant joint positions, and to analyze in particular the influence of muscle activity and neuromuscular control.The current article reviews data of the authors on quantitative, open, functional MR imaging of in vivo joint biomechanics, with focus on the shoulder and knee and gives an overview of the literature on these topics. Further, the article summarizes technical descriptions of the methods used as well as studies on accuracy and reproducibility of the technique. We present normative data on subacromial space width, glenohumeral translation and scapulothoracic motion patterns in the human shoulder joint of young healthy volunteers, and describe their association with gender and body dimensions. Also, alterations of these parameters are reported in different disease entities of the shoulder. We present ongoing work on the functional changes of cartilage contact areas in healthy and pathologic knee joints and we describe how these biomechanical changes are related to alterations of cartilage morphology. Future perspectives of these methods are mentioned in which a combination of open MRI and qMRI of cartilage morphology should give a more detailed insight into the pathogenesis, progression and treatment of osteoarthritis in different joint pathologies.
