“…A large study of 380 athletes demonstrated that following an ankle injury, 73% will suffer a further similar injury, and 59% will continue to have residual symptoms 3 . These findings may be factors in the higher prevalence of ankle osteoarthritis observed in former elite football players, compared to the normal population 4,5 . A retrospective analysis of data collected from 14,776 players in the English Football…”

Objective: To determine whether the bilateral application of kinesiology tape (KT) to professional footballers' ankles can improve their lower limb proprioception.Design: A single blind randomised crossover study. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a proprioception test in either a taped or not taped condition first. Following a wash out period, participants were then re-tested in the alternate condition.Setting: A UK Championship League Football Club, mid-season.Participants: Twenty male professional football players over the age of 18, currently match fit with no injuries.Outcome measure: Proprioception was assessed by participants undertaking the moving target program on the balance module attached to a Kin-Com 125AP isokinetic dynamometer. A paired sample two tailed t test was used to assess whether there was a significant difference between the participants test scores in the not taped and taped conditions.Results: The bilateral application of KT to professional footballers' ankles did not bring about a significant change in participants' scores when tested with a fine movement and balance control test.Percentage accuracy score mean difference 4.2 (p=0.285).

“…1 Lower limb (LL) injuries are common in soccer and the negative impacts of these injuries have been well documented. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Recently, injury prevention strategies for soccer have gained increased research attention, particularly the use of injury prevention exercise programmes (IPEPs). The efficacy of IPEPs in amateur soccer teams has been established in large-scale randomised controlled trials (RCTs).…”

BackgroundThere are well-known challenges to implementing injury prevention strategies in amateur soccer, but information from other soccer settings is scarce. This cross-sectional survey analysed the injury prevention perceptions of soccer coaches, fitness coaches and physiotherapists from 4 male teams in a professional youth soccer academy.MethodsThe respondents (n=18) completed a web-based survey relating to lower limb (LL) soccer injuries, the value and practicality of injury prevention exercise programmes (IPEPs) in general and, more specifically, the IPEP endorsed by FIFA, the FIFA 11+.ResultsThere were very high levels of agreement regarding players’ susceptibility to LL injury and the seriousness of these injuries. Respondents agreed unanimously that players should perform evidence-based injury prevention exercises. Despite 61% of respondents having previously heard of the FIFA 11+, just 6% reported current use of the full programme, with a further 22% reporting modified use. 22% believed the FIFA 11+ contained adequate variation and progression for their team and 78% felt it needed improvement. Respondents identified multiple barriers and facilitators to maintaining IPEPs, relating either to the programme content (eg, exercise variation), or the delivery and support of the programme (eg, coach acceptance).ConclusionsThe coaches, fitness coaches and physiotherapists of professional youth teams support the use of IPEPs, but enhancing their impact requires tailoring of programme content, along with adequate delivery and support at multiple levels. The findings suggest that the FIFA 11+ needs modification for use in professional youth soccer teams.

“…Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is defined as cartilage degeneration caused by a defined injury to the ligaments, cartilage, and/or bone of a joint . In particular, the incidence of PTOA is especially prevalent in highly active populations, for example war veterans and “elite” level athletes . In addition, PTOA affects patients at a younger age compared to idiopathic osteoarthritis.…”

Joint instability and cartilage compression in a mouse model of posttraumatic osteoarthritis

Joint instability and cartilage trauma have been previously studied and identified as key mediators in the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The purpose of this study was to use an in vivo model to compare the effect of joint instability, caused by the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), versus cartilage compression. In this study, mice were subjected to cyclical axial loads of twelve Newtons (N) for 240 cycles or until the ACL ruptured. One and eight weeks after this procedure, knees were sectioned coronally and evaluated for osteoarthritis by histology. Using a scoring scale established by Pritzker et al. 2006, the articular cartilage across each surface was scored and combined to produce a total degeneration score. The ACL-ruptured group had a significantly greater total degeneration score than either control or compression treated joints at one and eight weeks. Additionally, only sections from ACL-ruptured knees consistently showed synovitis after one week and osteophyte formation after eight weeks. Thus, it appears using that ACL rupture consistently creates a severe osteoarthritis phenotype, while axial cartilage compression alone does not appear to be an appropriate method of inducing PTOA in vivo.
