“…Bilateral elbow and knee extension values were measured using a goniometer to dichotomise joints as hypermobile or non-hypermobile (Norkin and White, 1995). Knee and elbow goniometric measurement have been shown to have good intra-rater reliability and moderate inter-rater reliability (Watkins et al, 1991;Chunang et al, 2007). Anthropometric measurements and playing position were also recorded.…”

Football: a multi-site cohort study

ABSTRACTBackground: A recent study demonstrated joint hypermobility increased the incidence of injury in an elite football team utilising a univariate statistical model. Objectives:To compare injury incidence between hypermobile and non-hypermobile elite football players incorporating a multi-site design and multivariate inferential statistics.Methods: 80 players comprising 3 English Championship football teams were followed prospectively during the 2012-2013 season. Joint hypermobility was assessed according to the 9-point Beighton Criteria at the start of the study period. A cut-off score of ≥4 categorised a participant as hypermobile. Player exposure and time-loss injuries were recorded throughout.Results: Mean ± standard deviation incidence of injuries was 9.2 ± 10.8 injuries/1000h. The prevalence of hypermobility was 8.8%. Hypermobiles had a tendency for higher injury incidence (mean [95% confidence interval] difference, 5.2 [0.9-2.7] injuries/1000 h; p = 0.06). Cox regression analyses found training exposure to be highly significant in terms of injury risk (p < 0.001) for all participants. Non-hypermobiles had a lower injury risk (p = 0.11), according to the Cox model, which is suggestive but not conclusive that hypermobility predisposes injury risk.Conclusions: Hypermobility showed a trend towards increased risk of injury. Training exposure is a significant injury risk factor in elite football.

“…17 Goniometric measurement of knee extension has been shown to have good intrarater and interrater reliability, 28 and goniometric measurement of elbow extension has been shown to have moderate intrarater and interrater reliability. 6 On days 2, 3, and 4 of the preseason period, the height and body weight of participants were measured, and they completed a self-administered questionnaire to gather demographic information including age, ethnic background, and playing position. A self-reported history of details of previous or current injuries was recorded as an addendum, and this information was cross-checked with club medical records for accuracy.…”
