BACKGROUND: After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), biomechanical asymmetries during gait are highly prevalent, persistent, and linked to posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis. Quadriceps strength is an important clinical measure associated with preoperative gait asymmetries and postoperative function and is a primary criterion for return-to-sport clearance. Evidence relating symmetry in quadriceps strength with gait biomechanics is limited to preoperative and early rehabilitation time points before return-to-sport training...

The gluteus maximus (GMax) is one of the primary hip extensors. Several exercises have been performed by strength and conditioning practitioners aiming to increase GMax strength and size. This systematic review aimed to describe the GMax activation levels during strength exercises that incorporate hip extension and use of external load. A search of the current literature was performed using PubMed/Medline, SportDiscuss, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Science Direct electronic databases. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria and reported muscle activation levels as a percentage of a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC)...

BACKGROUND: Patellar maltracking is widely accepted as an underlying mechanism of patellofemoral pain. However, methodological differences in the literature hinder our ability to generate a universal quantitative definition of pathological patellofemoral kinematics (patellar maltracking) in patellofemoral pain, leaving us unable to determine the cause of patellofemoral pain. PURPOSE: To systematically review the literature to provide evidence regarding the influence of confounding variables on patellofemoral kinematics...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Derek Charles, Clay Rodgers
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is the second leading cause of pain in runners and there are a number of theories related to its etiology. Multiple theories exist for the etiology of ITBS related symptoms including anterior-posterior friction of the IT band on the lateral femoral condyle during knee flexion and extension activities, compression of a layer of fat near the IT band distal attachment, and inflammation of the IT band bursa. The purpose of this literature review and clinical commentary was to explore the potential factors that contribute to ITBS development in runners...

Background: Clinical stretching is frequently recommended for iliotibial band syndrome management. Current literature lacks conclusive findings regarding isolated human iliotibial band tissue elongation and stiffness behaviors. Applying clinical-grade stretching force results to iliotibial band tissue behavior is thus challenging. Purpose: This study's objectives were to determine isolated iliotibial band tissue tensile behaviors during tension-to-failure testing and to relate the results to previously reported iliotibial band stretch findings...

REVIEW
Karin Grävare Silbernagel, Shawn Hanlon, Andrew Sprague
Achilles tendinopathy is a painful overuse injury that is extremely common in athletes, especially those who participate in running and jumping sports. In addition to pain, Achilles tendinopathy is accompanied by alterations in the tendon's structure and mechanical properties, altered lower extremity function, and fear of movement. Cumulatively, these impairments limit sport participation and performance. A thorough evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan, centered on progressive tendon loading, is required to ensure full recovery of tendon health and to minimize the risk of reinjury...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Cynthia J Wright, Stacey L Nauman, Jon C Bosh
Controlled research has shown that a single-exercise wobble-board intervention is effective at reducing symptoms and increasing function in patients with chronic ankle instability. However, the effectiveness of this protocol has not been documented in a realistic intercollegiate athletics environment. Eight intercollegiate athletes with chronic ankle instability participated in an 8-week (3 sessions/wk) wobble-board intervention. In a realistic environment, this simple intervention was feasible to implement and resulted in meaningful improvements in patient-reported stability for more than half of the patients (5 of 8) but only improved the global rating of function and pain for a minority of the patients (2 of 8 and 3 of 8, respectively)...

Jo A Hannafin
This commentary discusses a brief history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair using a variety of techniques, including open primary repair, arthroscopic repair, and bridge-enhanced ACL repair. Concerns are raised about the current reported outcomes of primary ACL repair. There is a need for controlled prospective studies that assess the structural integrity of the repaired ligament using modern imaging techniques, physical examination, and KT-1000 testing. Caution should be used when interpreting published studies that rely solely on patient-reported outcome measures...

It is clear that the stiff total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a multifactorial entity associated with preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors.Management of the stiff TKA is best achieved by preventing its occurrence using strategies to control preoperative factors, avoid intraoperative technical errors and perform aggressive, painless postoperative physical medicine and rehabilitation; adequate pain control is paramount in non-invasive management.Careful attention to surgical exposure, restoring gap balance, minimizing surgical trauma to the patellar ligament/extensor mechanism, appropriate implant selection, pain control and adequate physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiotherapy, Astym therapy) all serve to reduce its incidence...
